Did anyone else see the sign on gameday that read “At least we dont wear Jorts” ?
Classic EDSBS.

Was distracted by the “Did U Know Bo Jackson once ate 37 crabcakes before his first NFL game?” sign.

No, seriously..

I hope ol’ Stevie sticks it to ’em right between those hedges!

I got a kick out of “Jim Tressel Starring in… Captain Sweatervest.”

Also, did you see that tackle Lee Corso made? Maybe I shouldn’t have ignored his requests for a helmet in NCAA 05.

Ladies, I’m on my way to the center of universe today. That’s right, Columbus Ohio. I’m actually road-tripping to see an away game…with the wife…to a non-college bar…to a party sponsored by the National Kidney Foundation??

The Big Game is tonight, but good lord take a look at next weekend: 8 games matching up ranked teams:

Florida/Tennessee
LSU/ Auburn
Michigan/Notre Dame
Miami/Louisville
Clemson/FSU
Oklahoma/Oregon
Nebraska/USC
Texas Tech/TCU

I wonder where College Gameday will decide to go?

There was also a sign that read, “Lee Corso is a Giant Tool”

I hope ol’ Stevie chokes to death on fire extinguisher exhaust during USC’s high school calibur entrance.

I pooped all over myself and I can’t move.

The bright side to the Domers brutalizing Penn State was that there was nothing else really worth watching during the second half, so I went out for a run. Which means guilt free couch time the rest of the day.

I suppose the UW-OU game was still interesting, but I didn’t really think the Huskies would come back from even that manageable deficit.

I am proud of them for representing the Pac-10 admirably in Norman. The conference is taking a lot of crap, as usual, and nobody will mention that a Pac-10 cellar dwellar hung tough on the road, but I noticed.

Syracuse…is….awful…

Awful… is… relative….

Didn’t they have three shots from the one yard line in 2OT? Poor Orange. I feel bad for them at this point. Yes, it’s taken this long.

Way to poop the bed on the goal line, Longhorns!

No, they had about eight plays from inside the one. And kept calling for the TB dive up the middle. That’s just damned stupid. I’m all for imposing your will on the opponent, but when the game is one the line, just get the points.

It was that bad? I was trying to follow it online during the Penn State debacle. By the time I realized it was on Sirius, the game was over.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!1

Hey – GT’s defense is pretty good and Brady Quinn is awesome when he has time to throw and isn’ t getting rung like Quasimodo’s bell.

Oh, and ACC is awful. Guess it’s not so easy to replace that many NFL draft picks league wide. We very well might be the worst BCS conference this year.

THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY 24 – TEXAS -7

This can only mean one of two things, either the Buckeyes are the greatest force to ever walk the earth or… Chuck Norris secretly wanted them to win.

meanwhile Montana State loses to a rec-league flag football squad, thus making Colorado the worst team in Div-1A history.

Hudson21:

A few of those match-ups are a little tarnished tonight.

Notre Dame/Michigan and Auburn/LSU will be the two biggest ones with USC/Nebraska getting some attention as well.

One of those teams will have a better hold on #2 after week 3 then will be the case after week 2.

Lesson learned today; CO may be the 119th best team in D-1A (maybe 118th, ahead of Duke), Ohio State really is pretty darn good. Pac 10, Big 12, and ACC aren’t very good (and neither is the Big East). SEC and Big 10 (but by the end of the season, SEC) are light years ahead of the pack. Nothing in week 1 seems to have been a fluke. Games just fly by. Matthew McCanaughy (whatever, you know who I’m talking about) jumping jacks won’t win you a game. Nebraska knows how to kick the shit of a D-1AA team (a playoff D-1AA team at least, more than can be said for other B12N brethern). Next week is going to be amazing.

Gameday? Quality says LSU/Auburn (I think both could end up as BCS bowl teams), money says Michigan/ND or USC/Nebraska. Definitely one of the 3. I just hope isn’t not Michigan/ND.

It was interesting to me that no one on the postgame shows mentioned how poor tOSU’s defense was tackling. texas was moving the ball on them on the ground.

 Greg Davis misses Vince Young very, very much. Young kept Davis safe in Austin for two more seasons. His safety net is now gone.

poor tackling by tOSU? They did hold Texas to 7 points (and that was only thanks to the bogus penalty against the QB). I think it was more that Texas has some serious talent at RB. The path looks clear to the final BCS game for the Buckeyes, though any team can get tripped up.

Is Notre Dame the luckiest team ever to have played Tenn last year and Penn State this year?

And if Florida State does not drop like a stone in the rankings then there is no justice. FSU/Miami apparently really was a case of two bad teams playing each other.

oc phil, Tenn didn’t impress today, so I wouldn’t go saying ND was lucky to miss them. If ND needs to stop a 2pt conversion to seal the win against AFA, I’ll take that comment back.

Still, this was classic trap game—big win against a highly ranked opponent last week, rivalry game against a highly ranked opponent next week. You think that they spent a little time practicing for Florida and ignored USAFA this week? I think so—problem is, you can’t do that against that wacky option offense. The service academies, for as much crap as people give them, are deadly when you ignore them and don’t prep for their option wackiness. UT got lucky. UF beats them by 21.

Oh, and yes, that does mean that the PAC-10, outside USC and maybe, perhaps, possibly an Oregon team that got lucky today, really IS that bad.

My game ball goes to Mack Brown. Texas was running at will, gaining 7, 8 yards/ carry, then he decided to throw and it would either be in incompletion, sack, or interception. Selvin Young had 94yard on 11 carries. Glad he didn’t carry 20+ times. Thanks Mack!

Lazer, doesn’t Gameday have to be at USC/Nebraska, since Kirk is broadcasting that game? I’d like to think not, but I’m afraid that’s the case.

Sorry, I can’t keep up.. Apparently I’m not as keen an observer of midwestern culture as I should be, as I’m baffled by the “cornhole contest” referred to in the link at post 5.

Around here, a cornhole contest is something to be avoided, unless of course… like they say, the penetentiary CHANGES a man..

Nate,

You are out of your fucking mind, there is no way in hell Tennessee loses by 21. They may lose, but Chris Leak is not the second coming of Danny Wuerffel by any stretch of the imagination and the score will be a lot closer. Tennessee has struggled notoriously against teams that exclusively run the option. re: Nebraska twice and Kansas State. Fulmer said they won’t even watch the defensive game film from AFA because it has no relevence on their defensive schemes. BTW, I was at that game and Erik Ainge just might be the second coming of DW.

VolBrian—

So the way to beat UT is to recruit slow, non “Black Athletes” and run a gimmick option offense…interesting.

The OBC’s got a lot of work ahead of him, or UGa’s better than people have been giving them credit. Maybe both.

Ohio is just better than Texas. Oh, and the Buckeyes are better than the Longhorns. (Tip of the hat to the Stos.)

I’m sure the Longhorns will review the tape and learn something from the game. The Texas band, however, was hopelessly outclassed. We do not understand your DOUBLE script Ohio. We are the caveman, er cowboy, band.

If that is what you gather from my comment then sure. My point is this:

If you are offering me UT and 21 points then you better rob some banks to cover that bet.

Rickdog, good point. I think it was announced somewhere that Gameday will be in LA. I’ll be making the trek.

Cornhole is, apparently, a game where you throw bean bags in hole. I’m pretty sure I saw it at a carnival once. I think it’s like washers. Either way, it’s a simple game that is probably pretty fun, but I refuse to play because it’s pretty fucking lame the way people get hard-on’s for what is nothing more than a children’s game (I’m referencing my friends more than anything. Duchebags).

Nate- I think UT looks pretty solid overall. But we will certainly know much more about that after they play Florida. I’d pick UF right now, but I don’t think it is going to be a blowout.

I do expect UT to do better than they did last year, and I’d be shocked if Penn State came close to the season they had last year. If Weis finally breaks through and beats a top quality team when ND plays Michigan, I might start to believe there is more to him than some lucky breaks in catching power teams when they are down.
