TECH RULES THE SIDELINE CELEBRITY CONTEST

You mean the same Mark May, when asked last night if an undefeated UF/Auburn could be left out of a championship game actually said, “Look at all the ranked teams USC would have to beat, Cal, Zona State, Nebraska, and Notre Dame”. Thus ignoring the fact that if (and big IF) UF got there they would have to beat UT, LSU, Auburn, UGA, FSU, and either LSU or AUburn again. Sorry, he lost all credibility there with me.

Calvin Johnson is the progeny of Chuck Norris and Wonderwoman, there is no other explanation.

Oh, and to the people who talk about how “fast” Ted Ginn Jr. is all the time – I’ll bet that CJ runs basically the identical 40 time at the NFL combine. He’s so big it doesn’t look the same, but the boy absolutely flies. Human beings the size of kitchen appliances shouldn’t be allowed to move like that.

Sorry, but with a withered booger like Holtz in the tubemeat I find it hard to stomach that trio yeech

I watched the ESPN2 preview show one saturday last year, just for a change of pace and I was stunned at how much better it was than College Gameday, even with Mark May and Holtz annoying me. The main thing is that they talked about more than 3 times as many games and brought up facts and stats about each, instead of running tearjerker pieces and walkthroughs with Desmond Howard.

I guess I mean to say that I agree with you that that team is clearly ESPN’s chicken shit into chicken salad moment.

Also, Rece Davis might be the best studio host ESPN has (Brian Kenny’s boxing show is pretty good too).

If soggy bread could talk, it would sound like Lou Holtz.

Mark May is a complete jackass. I caught those comments this morning. I think Lou Holtz had Auburn at #4 behind USC and WEST VIRGINIA because AU barely beat (one of the baddest teams in the land) LSU. I agree with USC at #2 ahead of Auburn, but WEST VIRGINIA? Gimme a break. Lou Holtz is a complete jackass, too.

Was Erin Andrews trying to be funny be attempting a straight interview with Andre 3000?

Wow! I was at the game last night. While it was my first GT game and it pales in comparison to going to a Bama game, it was worth it seeing Calvin Johnson. This guy is a stud…think Vince Young that can run faster and catch! He’s going to dominate at the next level. Why Chan Gailey doesn’t throw to this guy 50% of the time I’ll never know…he’s being grossly underutilized at Tech. Virginia couldn’t stop him even when they knew he was getting the footbaw!

Mack10zie, welcome to AU, 2004.

Auburn went undefeated and won 5 games against teams with 10 wins and a 6th game against a 9 win team(a feat, BTW, only accomplished one other time in all of CFB history) but our media marke…er…schedule wasn’t tough enough.

MTVSPN won’t pump up a team from the SEC in the near future.

Oh yeah and Erin Andrews ass live in person looks phenominal!

NewAzTiger, the same can be said for AU this year, not just UF, jsut take away the FSU game. Plus, the year AU got left out, at least you could make a case that USC was very dominant. WIth no dominant team, doesn’t the one with the hardest schedule get the call. I was pissed at May on behalf of the whole SEC.

Yeah, I was actually hoping UT would pull out the win and make the SECCG since it would really help AU in the computers if we ran the table in that they would be another team AU could face in the SECCG instead of facing the UGA/UF winner again.

Either way, it would appear that the SECW will have 2 top 5 teams by the end of November.

LSU still plays us. If we win, I doubt a 2 loss team would be top 5.

As a Nebraska fan, I would like to see USC prove our loss was to a great team. Nonetheless, pac-10 is bullshit, and if AU or UFgoes undefeated, how in god’s name could you possibly leave them out of the MNC game? That would be the travesty of the century, and all those 2003 USC whiners, or 2001 Ducks (and I will admit, Huskers didn’t belong in that game) couldn’t hold a candle to that horror.
But if that happens, we will know that ESPN/ABC has a much bigger dick than CBS – which would be sad indeed.

That interview was hilarious. Andre kept calling tOSU “Ohio”, “I think Ohio is good”, “Ohio beat Texas”, and then Herbie and Fowler were in the studio like “I don’t think he’s talking about the Bobcats”.

Then 3000 yells out “41” yelling at a GT player while the stunningly gorgeous Erin Andrews was talking about Calvin Johnson, and she’s like “Uh, he’s 21”. Dre: “Oh yea, he’s good too.” Followed by a lot of “YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” and “What – WHat!s” in the background.

Just gonna throw it out there. USC didn’t deserve to be in ’04 title game. What happened after they got there is a different story.

Mac, that’s because I doubt UF beats LSU…

What the fuck just happened here? Did I just read a paean to the cluster-fuck that is Mark May and Lou Holtz from Orson? What next, a shout out to Boomer and Theismann? Do you, like Namath, want to become the first man to kiss Suzy Kolber? Are you angling to replace combover Kornheiser in the MNF circle-jerk?

And then there is ass clown “Nathan,” who writes:

“Oh, and to the people who talk about how "fast" Ted Ginn Jr. is all the time – I’ll bet that CJ runs basically the identical 40 time at the NFL combine.”

Way to go retard. You’re trying to make a case for the speed of Johnson by calling out people who see Ted Ginn as “fast” (the pussy scare quotes implying otherwise), and end by concluding Johnson will run the same time at the combine as Ginn, who you just suggested is not that fast to begin with. Nice. Take a course in logic, pindick, assuming they offer one at Cosmetology school.

Wow, I expect anyone or thing with the name “Duke” to suck.

“Andre 3000, who made things even weirder by appearing to be normal, coherent”

I guess I have a different definition of normal and coherent. 1.He gave a shout out to #41 because he didnt know Calvin Johnson is #21 2. Erin Andrews had to correct him twice “Ohio st. not Ohio” 3. When asked what teams he is a fan of he gave love to every power team in the Big 10, USC and some others NOT from the area he is from-strange.

Maybe I missed the sarcasm.

The Citadel isn’t even a good 1-AA team.
Erin Andrews appears to be getting hotter with each passing moment.
We now return you to regularly scheduled broadcast.

For the #41 comment, Andre was actually correctly pointing out Phillip Wheeler at the time. Unfortunately, Erin works for ESPN and like their broadcast team only knows the names and numbers of Reggie Ball and Calvin Johnson.

I missed that. Maybe Im the incoherent one. I fell right in with all the “what-What’s”.

ORSON AND COMPANY,

LOOK AT THIS!!!! NEW tOSU FRIENDLY FAN PROGRAM.

"We’re really only talking about 1 percent that we’re trying to get to,"

Odell 51-

Unfortunately this wont address the real cause of the fans angst..They are in Ohio.

Geez Duke venting your frustration a little? Yay! Let’s attack people online because he’ll never see my face! Very brave of you.

And Orson…I have to beg to differ with you on the Beast of Revelation that is the May/Holtthhh. I’ve yet to hear one legit peice of analysis from May. Holtthh (spit…dribble) on the other hand has run ever program he’s coached into the ground, so any points that he makes (not that he makes any) aren’t valid.

I think my grandmother’s words about Holtthh sum it up perfectly: “Why’s a guy with a speech impedament on tv?”

Yeah, funny how Andre 3000 just happens to be a big fan of the teams in the Top 5…

Although I don’t know where his mention of Penn State came from…

SpottieOttieDopaliscious. Does anyone else picture the Chapelle skit were “Calvin gets a job” every time they talk about Johnson? And Calvin Johnson does indeed drink lighter fluid and pisses on brush fires.

tzu bear,

I’ll admit that there are parts of Ohio that suck. Cleveland is the prime example.

It is not the State that is the problem. It is the fans. It is a vicious cycle that tOSU is hopefully addressing. Actually, tOSU just went up a point in my book.

Amazing. I just wrote that didn’t I?

Can’t blame Ohio; thuggery is in the blood.
Clarett, every Cincinnati Bearcat besides Oscar Robertson, recent exploits of the Bengals, Marge Schott, Albert Belle, Bone Thugz n Harmony…

The commentary around Ginn is that he’s fast, and thus a great WR. He IS fast, very, very fast. I’m not so sure on the great WR part. The reverse part of that seems to be the slight that the other top WR’s in the country can’t run like him – which I’m not sure is true either. Ginn is a slight guy and just “looks” quick, add his track speed and he looks like he’s flying – much moreso than a 6’5" guy who’s heavier than many BCS linebackers.

I’m just glad that last night on national TV Calvin got a chance in the open field to really open up and run, and show folks he’s more than just highlight reel hands (thanks Reggie Ball passes). He’s got absolute jets – and is going to be a phenomal deep threat at the next level.

1. - “withered, Holtz,” and, “tubmeat,” in the same sentence made me verp up coffee.

Did you really just make a veiled compliment to Lou Holtz’s commentating prowess?

Sorry, you guys need to self-impose some sanctions for that one before the national bloggee association gives you the death penalty.

Piss Poor Effort.

Nathan,
How did Calvin end up at GT?

Lou Holtz is the fist to admit it, folks: “I’m not that smart, I’m short and skinny, I speak with a lisp and I’m not particularly good-looking.”

Setting aside the fact that he could be describing most of the posters here, I don’t understand the level of vitriol directed at the man.

“How did Calvin end up at GT?”

I can field this. The serious answer is that his Mom really liked Coach Gailey and is big on education so we sold the academics aspect hard. It was a big coup for us to get him instead of UGA.

AU Alum,

When you put it like that you have a vaild point. Maybe I am a thug? I am going to the Goodman’s Gun and Knife show this weekend to get a bullet proof vest, some hand guns, and a hatchet. We’ll see just how thug I am after this weekend. Might even tie up a guy that owes me money and burn him with a clothes hanger.

Would it kill Rece Davis to remotely acknowledge that he graduated from Bama??? Mark May has to drag it out of him to even give a nod to the Crimson Tide. Grow some nuts Rece!!! Other than that I think he is really good in the studio.

Bama 27 Arky 10

A few thoughts:

Andre 3000 > Calvin Johnson’s Dad > Matthew McConaughey

That bit reminded me of a guy I knew from Richmond once, whose favorite college basketball teams included Georgetown, about half the schools in the ACC, and that school in Kansas where Danny Manning played.

I know it was another dog of a Thursday night game (though I imagine GT fans were enjoying themselves), but how many times did E_PN miss plays in the game because they didn’t come back from a commercial in time or because Erin Andrews was interviewing somebody? Actually, I’m not going to complain about having the ever-lovely Erin on the screen. I just love how whenever they pull one of those stupid interviews in the crowd, they end up missing a big play or turnover in the actual GAME.

I find it’s much easier to simply change the channel whenever Mark May’s ugly mug pops up on the screen. So, I wouldn’t know if they’re really getting better or not. I just know that Lou Holtz is like the Tommy Lasorda of CFB – they even sound alike now, too.

How do you question Ted Ginn is fast? He won the national 110-meter hurdles time and again and was invited to try out for the Olympics while narrowly missing. He won the Nationals as a senior by half of a second. I don’t think Calvin Johnson is that fast. Although, I guess since he’s so tall and big it might just look like it. The time of 13.46 is half a second off the record and just short of olympic qualifying. That’s fast.

"How did Calvin end up at GT?"

"How did Calvin end up at GT?"

Which he’s been hiding in the Bolivian latrines he was building in the off-season? C’mon, this isn’t Oklahoma or USC we’re talking about here. (Is my man-crush showing?)

It’s far more likely that they negotiated some kind of pipeline of UGA co-eds to, ah, supplement the local supply.

Actually, I think he intentionally gave a shout to #41. He said, “naw, 41- that’s my boy.” He’s a linebacker on Tech who’s pretty damn good too.

Are Auburn fans the whiniest little bitches or what?

In 2004 there were three teams who legitimately deserved a shot at the title. USC had been left out the year before and was #1 in both polls, there is no way they were going to get left out for the second year in a row. If you have a gripe with anybody it is with Oklahoma.

But Oklahoma did Auburn a favor. USC 2004 was a better team than USC 2003 & 2002, both of which beat Auburn. You might have done better than Oklahoma in the BCS game, but there is no way you would have won. You got to stay undefeated this way.

And what the hell is a Nebraska fan doing bitching about the Pac 10? Did you happen to notice that there were 4 games between the Pac 10 and Big 12 last week and the Pac 10 went 4-0. Add in the loss of Texas Tech to TCU and the Big 12 has nothing to be bragging about this year.

I hate Auburn, but to compare their ’03 (pre-Borges) team to their ’04 team (as USC fans constantly do) is the height of dumbassity, dipshittery, and knownothingness. As for the whiny little bitches part, that starts with the head, as they say. Or in this case, the ears.

“And what the hell is a Nebraska fan doing bitching about the Pac 10?”

I was thinking the same thing.

I hate Auburn, but to compare their ‘03 (pre-Borges) team to their ‘04 team (as USC fans constantly do) is the height of dumbassity, dipshittery, and knownothingness.

Gracious.

Well, based solely on the comparison of their bowl games in 04, I doubt that Auburn would have won. I can’t prove it, but then no-one can prove the opposite either.

BTW, as to whether or not USC belonged in the 04 BCS game: Citadel.

Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel. Citadel.

Citadel.

Juvenile, me?

Erin Andrews is hot?

Easy on The Citadel. As a graduate, I take offense. We don’t pretend we’re something we’re not. We need 1-2 1-A games a year to meet our athletic department budget.

This week’s checkwriter: Wanstache and the Pitt Panthers. I feel an upset—we’re due.

Toss up: Which was the greater train wreck of a sideline interview: Andre 3000 or Calvin Johnson’s dad in the stands?

So ESPN has borrowed a page from its international soccer coverage and decided to no longer send the announcing team to the game? Hope the stock price is up, boys.

“It’s far more likely that they negotiated some kind of pipeline of UGA co-eds to, ah, supplement the local supply.”

As somebody who’s lived on the same floor as Georgia Tech football and basketball players, let’s just say they, um, utilize the black colleges next door to Tech.

“Easy on The Citadel. As a graduate, I take offense.”

I also am rooting for the pretend soldiers from Charleston, S.C.

Easy on The Citadel. As a graduate, I take offense. We don’t pretend we’re something we’re not. We need 1-2 1-A games a year to meet our athletic department budget.

Never fear, that was directed at Auburn. Nothing wrong in taking a couple of Div 1-A paydays to keep yourselves up to date in the cleats department.

That’s the kind of local flavor I enjoy from this site – now I know.
