He said that "Arkansas shot their wad last week." That was his rationale for picking Ole Miss against Arkansas.
Herbstreit almost shat himself!

I missed who he was referring to.

Can he really say that?
'Ol Lavell looked a little uncomfortable, there.
Priceless.

That was a surreal segment...Fowler telling everyone to "behave", Edwards talking about Penn State playing in "College Station" and then putting on the Cougar head after Corso tossed it to him, the creepy horned frog head....just bizarre.

Braylon Edwards? nevermind-Lavell Edwards.

That is a gambling reference, a "Wad" of cash....

I always thought it was a reference to a muzzleloader. Where your "wad" of cloth is part of your one shot before you have to reload. In essence your one shot is "blowing your wad"

to a guy Corso's age that probably doesn't mean what it means to our generation... Still hilarious cuz of Herby's reaction.

In some current American slang it is a reference to male ejaculation; however the phrase has a very long history covering most of the time that muskets have been in use up to the present. The wad is a piece of paper put in the muzzle along with the projectile and gun powder. If the shooter is too hasty -- say in a tense battle -- they may not include the projectile. The result is a fire without the intended bullet; only the wad will fly out...a wasted shot. Hence, "shooting your wad" can mean expending your energy fruitlessly. The OED also references the wad as in a roll of paper money; in this case "shooting your wad" means blowing all your cash at once.
