Run Up The Score says:
Leaving for Happy Valley momentarily with homebrew (”Charlie HeavyWeissen”, if you must know) and malevolence in tow, game starts in 10 hours. I expect nothing but sweet, sweet destruction of Speedo McLimpwrist tonight.
I don’t see how VT hangs with LSU. Interested to see how good Oklahoma’s offense really is. I’d mention Bama/Vandy, but I don’t have time blah blah blah. I’m kind of expecting Michigan to remain in the tank. It’s one thing to suffer soul crushing loss to a nobody program, entirely another to try and salvage the season with a lame duck coach.
Upset Alert has been raised to Orange for BYU @ UCLA (-7.5). I wouldn’t even be shocked to see FIU get over on Maryland if they manage to not turn the ball over elevendy times in the first half like they did against PSU.
HAPPAFOOBAWEVRABUDDY!

Why the hell am I up this early?
Oh right, starting to drink for a 6 o’clock game. That’ll do it.

Ahh-ight, got the 40 minute run outta the way this morning. Time to shower, don my “Professional Tailgater” T-shirt, shorts (sorry guys, jorts are retired) and head to the tailgate loading site. Donut stop en route, of course. Gotta eat healthy, you know.

Jorgé the Bass Player says:
Don’t tell the Orgeron, but I took Mizzou (-5.5) to cover in Oxford. Missouri will start to crumble next week against Directional Meechigan.
I obtained a nude photo of the broad from that High School Musical bullshit. She’s got a nice body and she’s legal, so I don’t feel bad about it. Thank you, alcohol.
Enjoy the games, everybody.

DC Trojan says:
1) My team is not playing today
2) My father in law and his wife are visiting, which means no Michigan – Oregon game in case he has a break-down
3) My mother in law arrives tomorrow for a “visit”
So, I look more than a little like the OBC up there. Where’s the bourbon again?

Ugh.
I’m an LSU fan…..the amount of saban crap the morons at Gameday have up is lame and embarasssing.
The good news is…while hiking the C&O Canal this morning…I encountered no hokies and 3 tiger fans.
Such a healthy fanbase…..

OhioDawg says:
Strong, very strong, Beta_Gator. I’m only now going for my first bloody.
I still don’t think the OBC’s heart’s in it. I’d say there are no second acts in American lives, but Pete Carroll puts the lie to that.
Anyway, Dawgs roll!

Is the Nebraska/Wake Forest game blacked out in Long Island or should I call Cablevision and scream at them?
I already missed the last ten minutes of the GaTech/Notre Dame raping because of those idiots.

Seven Years in Gainesville says:
Things I love about today:
1. ESPN360.com — to hell with that PPV shit, I get UF-Troy on the computer
2. Spurrier using Corso to raise money for USC
3. Miss Teen USA using her epic embarrassment to further her “career” on Gameday
4. Rivalry games in week 2 (Coal Bowl)
5. Teams that refuse to play cupcakes
6. Going for it on 4th down (Wake)
7. The collapse of the Miami football program
8. Not having to hear about SC today
9. The collapse of the Notre Dame football program
10. The potential for an epic upset by USF
11. Akron 2, Ohio St. 0.

Is anyone else irked that the homos as ABC/ESPN/DISNEY assigned Ron Franklin to frickin’ OU/UM, when there are three… three!… three potentially ridiculous SEC games this evening?
What’s next? Verne Lundquist calling the WNBA quarterfinals?

Seven Years in Gainesville says:
Three?
LSU — VT
Auburn — USF

If Ohio State loses to Akron, the Big Ten should lose its automatic BCS bid and Jim Delaney should commit harikari on the Big Ten Network.

My Hogs are off today, as well, so I’m scouting for next week. Alabama/Vandy game is more of a contest than I expected in the 2nd half…. wait, never mind.

So Nebraska looks to be a little overhyped. Maybe WVU , too.

Im so fucking angry I dont get ESPNU when I thought that I did.
Oh, Im getting the Army/Rhode Island showdown, obviously, but no GT Samford, come the fuck ON TV!
OH well, it might be a good day for me still, going out in Annapolis tonight and possibly meeting up with some young teachers I met last week.

hey, have any of you guys seen nebraska’s blackshirts? they were out last week but they seem to be gone now.

The Humanitarian says:
Come on Nebraska! I don’t want to have USC play a team that just lost to Wake Forest. It really wouldn’t help our strength of schedule.

gentlemen, i believe billy callahan has made a pact with TEH DEVIL!!!1!
that’s the only reasonable explanation as to how the huskers got out of wake forest with a win. it sure wasn’t because of keller’s mad skillz as ‘gunslinger’ or because of the blackshirts.
cripes, i’m temped to call the police and request an amber alert for them.

First, Miami = teh suxx0rz
Second, what’s up with those kids with the Saban signs in Baton Rouge? Y’all are No. 2 in the fucking nation for chrissakes. Let that shit go.
And, though Bama didn’t blow the doors off Vandy, at least the Tide weren’t as lame as Ohio State (3-2 to Akron at the half).

So, will the Michigan fans attempt to assasinate Carr at halftime, or after the game?
September 8th, 2007 at 4:10 pm

Well Michigan is certainly making the App. State game appear to be less of a fluke.
September 8th, 2007 at 4:17 pm

sandman227 says:
Nevermind…I’m half expecting to see Carr go into the locker room at halftime, walk straight through the stadium, get in his car, and just drive away

Charles says:
Evidently, the Oregon-Michigan game is being broadcast on the Spice Channel, because I’m watching a total gang-bang.
How did no one see this coming? Did ESPN single-handled inflate these guys, or is this meltdown completely unexpected?

Here’s the story:
I lived my first 20 years in Florida. I am an alumni of the great Santa Fe Community College…GO SAINTS…(or not). My mom graduated from UF. My sister graduated from UF’s Law school (with certain deviations that include FSU and Ole Miss, but let’s not talk about that). When it was time for me to decide where to get my degree I chose UGA. What the hell is wrong with me. My mammy has season tickets to UF games…I grew up going to them…..I went to Georgia…I have serious problems. I once, when I was young, had a shirt that said “Standing Tall with Galen Hall.”
Let’s, after everything, give some love to Galen Hall.

Rival says:
This is the second week in a row that the start of the Georgia game will be delayed because of a long-running crappy game before it.
At what point do you switch coverage from the 20-point snoozer to the next game?
Last week, the botched punt that started the scoring vs Okie State wasn’t seen.
Grrrr….

Rival says:
Oh, great. BC just scored again.
Let’s give the ball back to the NC State team that’s thrown it almost 50 times with 3 mins left.
Sonofabitch!
