OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Three unbeaten top ten teams fall in a single Thermidorean day. We saw one of them get decapitated live, and it sucked with the sucking of a thousand burning suns of suck.

We’ll discuss all the sucking on EDSBS Live at 7 p.m. EST Sunday night. But first…there’s a lot of kittens in this bucket. And they all have to die.

Was it pathetic of me to be thinking “Wow, poor Peter…wow, poor Orson” during the bloodbaths today? Glad my boys managed to avoid the reaper for another week. However, this was a very very very bad day to be away from a TV almost all day long.

….it was the kind of day where, when the Hogs were up 45-7 at half, I thought ‘Give it to McFadden a couple more times, just in case. Today’s been crazy enough that a 39 unanswered point run could happen’

That should be five top-ten teams. Or three top-five teams.

Goddammit, that’s FOUR top 10 undefeated teams that lost today. When the BlogPoll plays an official role in the BCS, you can use it as a reference. And if nothing else, it wasn’t any less sucky to be in Piscataway last night.

Thermidor!!! I love the French Revolution, here are my analogies!
Florida = Maximilien Robespierre: The establishment, returning champions, symbol of a revolution and a new paradigm, Shot in the jaw by Auburn and subjected to a botched but effective Guillotine on the last play of the game.
Oklahoma = Louis de Saint-Just: Fiery and young and making waves all over the place; the fastest rising member of the Committee for Public Safety that is the AP top 10. Didn’t see the upset coming, head lopped off in dramatic but effective fashion.
Texas = Georges Couthon: Respected elder statesmen but confined to a wheelchair by awful coaching. Plucked from his perch, plopped mercilessly on the gibbet and humiliated like the awful cripple he was by Ron Prince.

I thought the only interesting game would be Cal v. Oregon. . . . Accordingly, I made the obvious decision to NOT watch football today in anticipation of next week watching undefeated Texas play undefeated OU as well as undefeated LSU play undefeated Florida in what would be the best games of the season. . . . I think this decision is what many refer to as a (comical but nonetheless huge fucking) mistake.

Which is to take nothing away from KSU. Your guys played a great game, and Prince coached rings around Mack Brown.

NEWS FLASH!! Tebow is running up the middle. Such a great play maybe we should run it every time. Where does Dan Mullen get off calling that play every 1st down. Last time I checked, we have several scholarship running backs. Percy is amazing but it shouldn’t be a two man show. I thought this was the “spread” offense….spread it out.

Dear Diary,
My friends and I had left the bar Friday night in the 3rd quarter because watching your team turn the ball over 6 times is not the most pleasent thing to watch.
Waking up Saturday morning was tough. I avoided the final score of the WVU game as long as I could – I even skipped Game Day (went to the REI attic sale instead and got 2 pairs of shoes (super cute!!). It was to be a minamilist-football day, for I didn’t think I could handle watching the joy of others when I was feeling so blue. But then strange things began to happen. I started to play less Bioshock and watch more football as the night wore on. As the unthinkable began to unfold around the country……
And now, in the chilly light of this DC morning, things feel somewhat better. It’s as if a wee bit of optimism has creeped back into the fold…. for WVU was at least beaten by a ranked opponent.

Can’t come up w/ the equivalent to Charlotte Cordray & Marat but am working on it. But, Dan Hawkins has to be somwhere near.
Orson, how do we starksvillians beet AU-barn there & Teebah loses at home?
BTW, was at Chix/MSU yesterday & have lost all sympathy for SOS. Running up the score is always a loser in my book. Even Sly didn’t do it aginst Ole Missy two years ago.
Is UK the Class of the East? Is that an oxymoron???

Fantastic analogy on Texas but generally the French Revolution was an disaster which our Gaelic pals are stil living down – what is it the 5th Republic after how many restorations and empires?. This hold irrespective of the what one may think of the Ancien Regime and TJ’s enthusiasm.
Still, serves Urban Meyer right for trying to play the part of Louis Egalite by pushing for a playoff last year.

#16 — He mentioned it 2,356 times because that’s about how many plays TT was involved in.
It’s becoming apparent that UF is a one-trick pony. Urban better find some more weapons because I think the rest of the SEC has started to figure out the playbook. If he doesn’t, they will lose to more than just LSU.

If you’re tired of hearing Tebow’s name called, I can’t imagine how you must feel about hearing Sarah Jessica Parker Wilson’s name. Why can’t announcers just say “Wilson” for the love of God? Or “Booty” for that matter?

#31 As someone who lives among the Gaelic peoples of the world, I can assure you they had no part in the French Revolution; that’s the lot of Gallic civilization– though I suppose transitive football revolutionary paradigm does mean Ireland will be the next destroyed by civil upheaval, given ND’s 0-5 start.

Now all of the Gator alumns I work with know the pain of unending sadness – but will bounce back when they beat LSU, and once again the SEC will bloody it’s own nose while an untested Ohio State or Wisconsin strolls into the annual beatdown by USC.
Also, payback is coming…. 1993, Boston College ruined what should have been ND’s second championship under Holtz (a week after ND knocked off #1 FSU)… BC will fall to the Irish.

ToddlyKSU says:
Yes, the end result of Thermidor rebellion was a vacillating government called The Directorate under the guidance of Talleyrand and other who eventually allowed the rise of Napoleon and about 20 or so years of constant, bloody, devastating war.
So maybe this Thermidorean day is not great for college football, but it sure is fun to watch!!!!
I’m thinking that Dan Hawkins can be Napoleon (young and short); Tuberville be Talleyrand (Old and Shady); and Lloyd Carr or Jim Tressel will be Louis XVIII when they bring back the shaky rule of the traditional major programs.

Anyone else see Weiss at his postgame press conference? Someone forgot to tell him that he lost the game.
And Perdue sucks bad! I watched the whole Irish/Perdue game and Perdue did everything possible to not dismantle the Irish and keep it “close.” (is 33-19 close?) Perdue should’ve won by about five touchdowns against ND’s defense, which is non-existant.

I love the rush to judgment on Florida after one game. One-trick pony! The SEC has figured out Tebow and Florida!
Conversely, we played extremely God awful versus Tech, and this season will end just like any other under Bowden.
I reconcile the above with the fact that I have seen the Clemson movie, or read the Clemson book, and I know how it ends…
