Prepare the list

Begin the stockpiling of provisions! The media room must be filled to capacity for the long trials that await us. Kid, get thee to the nearest GameStop and don't tarry! Interns, begin the compiling while I run throught the checklist in handy blogged bullet format:

• (1) Copy of NCAA Football 2008 for Xbox 360
• Nerdy headset for interactive Trev-bashing
• Side of beef, slow-roasting for (12) hours on open flame
• Hot sauce
• (2) bottles of Barenjager, chilled
• Copies of Phil Steele's College Football 2007, the unofficial strategy guide
• Sparks
• rechargeable batteries
• adult diapers
  
• intertubes set to tonight's Steele packed edition of EDSBS Live
• individually wrapped moist towelettes
  
• pine bench for non-playing spectators
• ship-in-bottle kits to pass time
• whiteboard for perpetual dynasty mapping

That about covers it. Our fearless editor will be most likely rejiggering his beloved Irish roster and playbook into some kind of crazy Wishbone-spread hybrid whatsit, so he'll likely be bringing his own knifewrench for TD celebrations.
