ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBAW?

God, we fired the guy, yet we still can’t get rid of the freakin’ Bullet. Is this the definition of Karma or something?

Awesome this means that marquee SEC saturnday night games are getting pushed earlier in the day I so I can watch sh!te games like Oregon at California. Gee LSU-Florida wouldn’t be better in that time slot. I pray that CBS will take a doubleheader to so we can see the first time that she breaks an option into the secondary and is introduced to LaRon Landry.

To be fair, the NBC contract only covers home games so they really don’t care who broadcasts the away games. But I agree on the benefits of getting to watch the Irish play on something other than Hammond-vision.

Damned fine print.

Musberger deep throats the balls of every tOSU player, coach and fan.

Just another reason to hate the school from Columbus.

Brent gets to gamble and talk about his bets in Prime Time, what could be bettor?

The underdog is barking loud and clear on Saturday night this fall.

Here’s some more NOTRE DAME NEWS

Notre Dame’s decision to schedule a game each season at neutral sites starting in 2009 is an attempt to return the school to its independent roots, athletic director Kevin White said Tuesday.

….

“We have enough heavyweights on the schedule,” he said. “We need to have a schedule that’s conducive to success.”

Wow, heavyweights, good one.

heavyweights= army, navy, and air force? They are looking to play the FBI, NSA, and Department of Homeland Security in 2007 i think.

ND scheduling

Big Mike: Considering that from 2000-2006 alone ND has home and homes with FSU, Tennessee, Nebraska, Penn State, Texas A&M, Michigan (every year) and USC (every year), is it really so heinous to play Navy every year? And are Navy and Air Force really worse as filler than the Appalacian State’s, Troy’s and Louisiana Lafayette’s who dot other teams schedule every year without comment?

You name 3 out of 12 games on a schedule and then call it weak, but you forget to mention Georgia Tech, Michigan, Penn State, USC and UCLA – who are all on ND’s schedule this year.

What school do you follow, Mike? Let’s take the three weakest teams so we can call their schedule shitty.

Joe Buck’s the twerp. Jack Buck, kind of dead.

Odel 51—

Don’t hate the school from Columbus just because she is beautiful.

I have been a recipient of those Musburger deepthroats, and I can attest: they are GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

Playing the Pentagon is an ND tradition. I hate it when non ND fans throw that out there a a ‘weak’ schedule.

Good work Bill.

Hey – I heard a rumor that AJ Hawk (former Ohio State LB) and Laura Quinn (sister of Notre Dame QB) are dating and are engaged. That would be some coincidence, given that ND and OSU played in the Fiesta Bowl last year. And quite a quandry of torn allegiance for Ms. Quinn. Hopefully Brent can confirm this rumor on Sept. 2nd.

What, no Jack Arooooooooote? The drinking game is going to need alterations.

Of course, there’s always the chance that Drunk Brent will make some shit-cannable comment to Salters.

“Now down to Lisa with an update on Booty….I hope her own.”

6 schools never have to apologize for their OOC sked:

Fresno State
Florida State
Miami
USC
UCLA
Notre Dame – As an independent, they could puss out all they want, but they don’t.

What Musburger really deepthroats is the Esso Club at Clemson. That place is probably the most overrated thing in college football, and that’s not just my anti-Clemson bias speaking.

Horrid error on the Buck family, and corrected.

And as the fan of a team that regularly schedules the multidirectional wonderboys, we simply can’t assail ND’s scheduling with the academies. We’ve watched enough lambs thrown to the wolves over the years.

That said, we take the crown for butt-tough scheduling this year. 10-2 would be a goddamned accomplishment.

Doug Flutie is coming back to commentate college football for ESPN and ABC.

Methinks BIGMIKE Big Blue Fan! Could be wrong, but good ol’ Meechagan plays the likes of Vanderbilt and Central Michigan to “warm up” for Notre Dame. The sandwich then develops some meat, aside from the Indiana and Ball State games before the OSU game. I count four (4) craptastic games on the Michigan schedule. Just enough to get the loyal Maize and Blue all charged up before LLLLLLoyd brings them back to reality. If this ain’t the pot calling the kettle black, what is?

BIGMIKE is a Gator fan, for the record.

I guess I’m still hung over from ESPN forcing me to watch the revival of ND against washington, stanford, navy, purdue, byu, syracuse to give credit to their schedule this year.

It’s ok Mike, we didnt’ really want to see the pantsing of Lionel too much either. Oh wait, yes we did. I guess that one was karma. And purdue was ranked higherthan we were when we played them, and I think that the “child molestor in maximum security” type beatign we gavethem sort of shut their season down and blew their confidence to hell. same with pitt. and keep in mind, BYU beat us the year before. as for syracuse, well, they were good when they made the schedule up.

Bloat,

I am glad you like getting your football team blown by a worthless, terrible football anouncer. I’m glad tOSU fans get satisfaction out of that. It’s not like they can get it by beating Texas or PSU.

HEY OOOH!

I’m not convinced that Davie leaves his FOOTBAW obsession in the announcer’s booth. I think he drives home in his FOOTBAW car and calls his wife on his FOOTBAW phone, asking her to cook up some FOOTBAW steak with FOOTBAW sauce and a side order of FOOTBAW potatoes and have it ready to go on the FOOTBAW table before he FOOTBAW gets FOOTBAW home.

Mmm. Footbaw.

Gator Fan, huh?

Then neither of us know what we are talking about….

I was a little worried when I first found out today that Minnesota-Michigan and Iowa-tO$U games were both slated for primetime. I thought just for a moment we might get trumped for the ABC slot. Now I know cheesburger is doing the game I am looking forward to him continually confusing his hockeyeeees and bukeeeeyes.

Do you think he engages in some rough FOOTBAW trade with the wife after dinner?

I was thinking about making a joke along those lines, then decided against it . . . but if you think I wasn’t giggling to myself at the thought of Bob Davie taking the wifey upstairs for “some good FOOTBAW lovin’,” you don’t know me that well.

Great, Musberger every Saturday night. It’s now official, the universe hates me! I must have really pissed someone off in another lifetime!

Orson, what am I missing about the UF schedule this year? Vandy, Kentucky, Southern Miss, Central Florida, Western Carolina… I mean, yeah, you’ve got LSU, Tenn, Bama, Aub, and FSU… but how is that really different than any other year? (and no I’m not holding up our grueling OOC sked of ULM, UFI, and DUKE as an example… though we are picking up FSU and Penn State in coming years and not long ago finished series with UCLA and Oklahoma)

He’s just FOOTBAW player, makin’ FOOTBAW plays. In her FOOTBAW ass.

Always trust your instincts, Doug. Then again, my instincts tell me to run the other way whenever the Boob is involved, so what do I know.

Is there anyone that can confirm my suspicions that Brent was getting wasted in the booth during the Ohio State Northwestern game last season-

We noticed unusualy strange remarks, even for Brent. Then, In the fourth quarter the game was well in hand when he began giving the individual credits for tv crew etc. When he said something to the nature of . . .
And of course we’d like to thank “Bill”(or something) down in the truck for bringing us all that fresh “brew”(some brand of beer)[Then, with emphasis] Which we wont be openning till the end of the game of course!

Auburn. Alabama.
FSU.
Georgia.
Tennessee.
South Carolina.
LSU.

Those seven, RedTide. Even UCF and Southern Miss aren’t exactly our standard cupcakes. It’s a withering schedule by any standards.

Phil K -

If he did, that would just be a FOOTBAW coach gettin’ some FOOTBAW play.

So nobody asked the important question. Does this mean that Ron Franklin gets reunited with Gottfried for the ESPN prime time games?

You’re giving Foolmer a lot of credit

He deserves it—he’s won more games at one school than any other coach in the SEC. And he’s not half as dumb as we think he is.

He is, however, very, very fat.

You don’t think his recent decline is proof that his body cavity has finally run out of room for all that fat and his brain cells have slowly been replaced by fat cells over the last few years?

Mark my words… Tenn goes 6-6, there’s a major dicipline story in the fall, and the reign of Fat Phil is over by the end of November.

That’s the drama in the SEC this year: hiccup or pulmonary embolism in Knoxville? We say hiccup.

what’s the over/under for times Boob mispronounces Rhema McKnight’s name? or times he mentions the fact that he recruited Rhema

Mount Phil isn’t going anywhere.

Florida State over the years needed a strong OOC schedule to make up for their terrible former ACC schedule. Finally they are playing more than 2 games a year.

Go back to our independent days, our sked was grueling.

Now that the ACC is wearing big boys pants, we’re not lightening up either. In the next 8 years, we play Bama, Oklahoma, Colorado, West Virginia, BYU and Air Force – and, of course, the Gators every year.

Our scheduling weenie is massive.

8pm start on Oct. 14th means a 12 hour pre-game tailgate – I am ordering that outdoor dance floor tonight!

I guess they’ll have to rework the Brent Musburger Drinking Game to include footbawisms….

That’ll lead to the audience getting damn drunk. I’m not sure I’m up for the challenge of Musburger and Davie in the same booth.

odell: you think brent “and he’s gone…..for a 2 yard gain” musburger pulls for tOSU? every indication i have ever got was he always is pulling for michigan. i recall one broadcast he wore a blue coat and maize tie. i could be wrong as i’m usually drunker than him by gametime but that’s my thoughts on him.

and as for scheduling, hopefully soon people will think of boise state like fresno state. i can only hope.

Thanks for the following:

“NBC Sports is run by syphilitic monkeys”

Finally, it all makes sense.

Jim

Ron Franklin, currently also under the employ of the Mouse, will be there to rescue a Sat. night Musburger self-dug grave in ’07 – book-it.

Franklin is theeee best in the biz, partner, and btw, Musburger’s Chicago guy (disgrace,) so why the f*** does he cacle “Podnah!” anyways?

PSU Girl:

Ordering the dance floor for the 12 hour tailgate?

Gotta learn the robot, worm and country line dance steps first!

And invite women with flat butts, since you sound like someone who has some pretty goood junk in her trunk!

A massive, coreographed electric slide from the PSU student section would totally mess with Henne’s head.

Hell, the MBAs alone would at least force a couple of overthrows.

I was out of the loop, so apologies on the lateness of this point. But doesn’t the article state that ESPN’s “College Gameday” will be at these ABC primetime games? If that’s correct, this means the end of Lee, Kirk, and Chris at ANY SEC games. Should I be dancing in the streets to this news, or upset about the [continued] future ignorance on the part of ESPN and the rest of the media to SEC football, when compared to other conferences?

I believe that Herbstreit will be joining the ABC telecast when the Gameday site happens to coincide with the national ABC game that night. It doesn’t preclude Gameday from going to SEC sites.

This is one of those “buddy of mine” stories but …

A buddy of mine was attending school in Baton Rouge and was in a local sportsbar the Friday before a big LSU game. In walks Brent Musberger and entourage.

My buddy’s friend screams out at the top of his inebriated lungs, “HEY BRENT!!!”.

At which point, Musberger stands up with that sh%t eating grin already to sign an autograph or something when the original guy screams, “F%CK YOU!!!”

The bar apparently erupted in laughter and Brent meekly sat back down acting as if he didn’t hear it.

I despise Brent Musberger.

Harvey Wireman:

It is awful to read your flirting attempts, if that is what they are, on this thread.

Stick to someone your own age, such as Tallulah Bankhead, Gloria Swanson or Ethel Merman.

Methinks BIGMIKE Big Blue Fan! Could be wrong, but good ol’ Meechagan plays the likes of Vanderbilt and Central Michigan to “warm up” for Notre Dame. The sandwich then develops some meat, aside from the Indiana and Ball State games before the OSU game. I count four (4) craptastic games on the Michigan schedule. Just enough to get the loyal Maize and Blue all charged up before LLLLLLoyd brings them back to reality. If this ain’t the pot calling the kettle black, what is?

This is year #2 for the University of MsChicken doubling up on the MAClings. It’s part of a secret plot — nearly consumated last season — for them to win the MAC championship and go to the Motor City Bowl.

And btw, they do sometimes take a breather from their Irish beatings. No games for 2000-2001, 95-96, 83-84, etc… (2001 was another season of doubled MAC opposition).

No wonder. The outcome of Michigan trips to South Bend are as predictable as the latest remake of King Kong visiting New York.

About as predictable as the Spartans going 4-0 to start the season and finishing 5-6, Bob.

Holy moly! I don’t think I can take that much crappy “broadcasting” in one booth, on one telecast. Musberger drives me nuts, and Davies is an absolute idiot. Musberger doesn’t know when to shut up, and Davies hasn’t had an original thought in, well, ever.

About as predictable as the Spartans going 4-0 to start the season and finishing 5-6, Bob.

Comment by Brad

So true. They do have a way of getting your hopes up:

Winning the road opener…

In South Bend…

Year after year…

Surviving through September without a loss…

Only to crap it all up in October and November.

It’d be much better on my nerves if they’d just torpedo the whole thing on the first trip out of town every year. Sort of announce to the world right from the get go: “We have zero intention of competing for the national championship this year, so get over it and enjoy the rest of the season!”

That’d be much more compassionate. Maybe you know what I mean.
