LIVEBLOG, PART ONE: WFVU VS. RUTGERS

First to reply, today – PLACE/SEAT AT THE TABLE!!!

I was actually in the movie, “The Program,” as parts were shot at South Carolina during the ’92 Tennessee game.

And, for the record, I will be watching many “hot seconds” of the Clemson/Maryland contest, and I, too, am afraid of Ray Lewis.

I think Corso just said Jorvorskie Lane was “a gay” – anybody else catch that?

Why in the hell are they picking horses in the breeders’ cup? WTF?

Nothing like having DirectTV in Morgantown, and being unable to watch the game from home…..off to the bar we go!

ESPN: We’re going to horse racing! And you’re changing the channel!

good choice espn. now watching citadel v ga southern.

Horse racing is an unforgivable incursion upon college football. So is playoff baseball.

9 a.m. and no hangover - it’s a miracle!!! Have fun everyone

Thank God for GamePlan: ABC chose not to show Mike Leach’s pirate squad where I live.

God, Iowa’s biggest fan is Tom Arnold?

Now all this futility makes sense?

Holy Shit, what the hell is Pat White taking sounding like that?

Good point on the black uniforms. But, playas gotta play

Georgia fans smell like LSU fans.

GRREEEEEAAAAATTTTTTTTT….wet balls, just want i want to hear about now…

Georgia fans smell like corn dogs?

MSU/Iowa on ESPN2? CU/Texas Pirate Academy on ABC? Horse Racing on ESPN?

Rutgers/WVU should be a national telecast. Why don’t they put it on ESPN2 and put the Little Eleven Beatdown Of The Week on ABC where only a third of the country has to watch it?

I don’t know, but heads will roll in Bristol over the decision to show horse racing on a Saturday afternoon in October.

Bob Griese allowed the segue into my next non sequitur thought.

Anybody else take Ball State, plus the points, versus Team Redacted?

I rode Ball State, ha, earlier in the year, especially cleaning up on them versus Nebraska, then C. Michigan or some MAC school beat them and my confidence was shaken in the fightin’ Lettermans.

Hopefully Name Redacted will do what he does so well when it matters, unless he is facing Georgia or FSU.

Tom, they show the Breeder’s every year, or since NBC dropped its coverage.

So, in a word, no.

Caught five minutes of sports radio this morning, heard Jim Donnan interview his good pal Denny Franchione. It sounded like Dauber interviewing Luther.

Watching West Virginia run the triple option is like football porn.

And I think Orson just exploded after that Owen Schmitt 1st-down reception.

1. - I come for O’s remarks, but I stay for the “Coach” references.

The requisite 100 cocktails to you, sir.

Hey Coop..

You like our chances today in the Park?

Terps are pretty banged up…lost both OGs for the season.

Has been raining up here all yest and last night but sun is out now…

A Negro just made a tackle? What?

Miss St in the RZ again on KY

Not only do they insult us by putting horse racing on instead of football, but they talk about it during football on ABC. They even have “Breeder’s Cup Alerts” pop up on the screen.

god i cant wait to read this all later tonight

That Big East commercial was painful. Someday may be here, but tomorrow it’ll be yesterday and…man, I guess I’m ready for kickoff of our game….

Did I just hear that Kentucky may be getting Croomed?

Quote of the year, after a shot of Dan Hawkins’ wife: “I think Dan outpunted his coverage there.”

1. - yup. Prime Crooming victim after the first half.

Why in Gods holy name is there horse f’kn racing on my ESPN on any given Saturday when there is motherflippin’ SEC football and ranked teams that are playing right now? WTF? Who cares besides a 50 square mile radius around Kentucky?? Whats next, Polo games?? Horse racing should be on that A & E channel, the same channel where they have the Best In Show dog show…. If I was rich and an advertiser, I’d pull my ad money…Only way I would watch it if they had Nile Crocodiles in a river and they were forcing the Breeders Cup horses to cross the river about neck deep in a race, and the winner was decided by who got to the other side alive, I would probaly watch it.

Croonm comes out gunslingin’

Carroll is 10-12, 2TDs has hit 8 diff receivers

Awesome—if Kentucky gets Croomed, it’s another heart-attack inducing, ’let’s fuck ourselves over’ Saturday in the SEC.

#32—ya got that right…no reason for goddamn horse racing…SEC games are on…inexcusable.

Yeah, cpa, we should win today. Or, we better win. If we go down today, I am canceling my subscription to TI. I don’t want to read what people will be writing.

And another way I would watch it andthey would still call it the Breeders Cup would be Noel Devine vs all the other Babys Daddies in the SEC in a footrace…..I’m just sayin…..

Croom got Croomed! Worst call, ever. Woody was way inbounds when he got hit.

Which brings to question…..Noel Devine would be in a “NCAA Breeders Cup”, who else would be worthy opponents- I think the qualifier would be more than one kid outta wedlock whilst in High School or college….and playing in the NCAA, bonus qualifier if more than one and by multiple womans…

#32, #35 – especially when ESPN2 is showing a meaningless MSU-Iowa game that is becoming comedic quickly.

Colorado vs. Lubbock Pirate School should be on instead. Give Kirk Ferentz’s mediocrity to the Big 10 Network.

sign Spiller up…he’s got a baby.

For those without Gameplan, Andre was running a nice naked bootleg, heading for the sticks. He was kinda jogging towards the end, and a Miss St defender hit him like a train – while Andre was not even close to OOB. Stupid refs called a late hit.

Best thing about that hit in the MSU game is that it prevented a first down. Hell of a play by MSU and a horrible call by the officials.

#42
Yeh pretty soon there is gonna be a 5yr halo rule around the QB no matter where he’s at, if the qb gets to the 5yd line by himself its gonna be an automatic TD pretty soon…how can it be a late hit, when, the whistle wasnt blown???

Shhhh…CPA. All of our young men are upstanding, ethical gentlemen who would never engage in sexual relations out of wedlock.

Tommy made them sign a pledge card. You know, “I gave my word to stop at 3rd.”

Hell we got the Fulmer Cup in the offseason, why not the NCAA Breeders Cup…….

#39: What is the age cutoff? Otherwise Travis Henry’s the obvious champ.

#45
3rd Base or 3rd kid??

The problem isn’t just that horse racing is on. It’s that it’s 6 freakin’ hours of horse racing. How long is the race? 3 minutes? For that we need 6 hours of coverage?

Well at least we will have a benchmark with Travis Henry….I only think it gets worsewhen they turn pro since they can afford more “running backs by committee” and by committee I mean ho’s

Anyone got odds on the Cocks being on the front end of a 5-game skid?

For those that like to wager, I just picked up Kentucky, -4, for the 2nd half.

Apparently it is Vegas’ opinion that Mississippi State will defeat Kentucky.

Is there a worse momentum killer than any game that kicks off prior to 2 PM?

Nobody who is capable of showing up ever does, and that is why Croom will still have a job next season. He owes JP, I mean Lincoln Financial, his paycheck for next season.

I can’t believe no one’s mentioned Tom Arnold’s intro of the Iowa players. God it was amazing—and read off a cue card.

Oh, and Iowa just tied it up.

If the stadium were a bowl and filling up with water, I would also support putting him in a shark cage.

Anybody else just see that Regions Bank commercial on the SEC?

They stated, “we name our kids after coaches,” like that is admirable.

Nice work placating to the mouthbreathers, Regions Bank. Are you also giving out pork rinds when somebody opens up a checking account or a CD?

And, this is why people outside of the South refer to us as hicks.

1. - Iowa has offense? Shit.

1. - I’m voting for electric eels in the tank with Maguire.

Steve Slaton will turn your blitz and six yard loss into 50 yards of gain 9 times out of 10.

S2N, I should’ve been clearer—by “shark cage” I meant “large metal cage full of sharks and Maguire”.

No McGuire might mean that Musberger would broadcast the game—does anyone want that for their team? Never mind the atrocious, gushing commentary—HD liver spots are truly terrifying.

I seriously won’t watch a non-Michigan game that he broadcasts.

1. - gotcha. Frankly, any way he can be given significant amounts of pain is a good way.

and a huge resounding “BULLSHIT” was heard coming from commonwealth stadium…

Miss St. picks up a fumble inside the KY 30…

Can’t they put the stupid horse racing on “the Ocho”?!

Also, technically Tennessee doesn’t have an academic compliance officer, they just have the guy that pays off the NCAA every time they cheat.

Um, Mississippi State. Wow, just wow. Kentucky reverting back to traditional form.

Scot Brantley, on the Gator Red Baron Scoreboard Zeno Office Solution Endzone Pregame Tailgate Radio Show, discussing Croom’s lack of wins and position on the hot seat, to some extent:

“Yeah, he’s really behind the eight… he’s behind…. well his back’s against the wall.”

So, West Virginia is up 28-0 versus Miss State in the 1st Quarter last weekend, but Miss State can go on the road and defeat Auburn and Kentucky, and SEC folks are trumpeting the strength of their conference?

Seriously, you can’t be that good when Vandy and Miss State come into your houses, slap your father in the face and then have sex with your mother.

24-7, Mississippi State.

I’m not comfortable with a world where Sly Croom is bowl-eligible.

I can hear Les Miles on Kentucky now, “they were who we thought they were, we let them off the hook!!!” Oops, that was Dennis Green— sorry

Big O can hurdle.

I already need sedatives and the Oregon game doesn’t start for another 15 minutes.

I actually heard a guy on ESPN radio say at halftime that Rutgers was doing exactly what they wanted to do- get Rice carries 19 for 81 yards, so they could wear down the ’Neers.
So was getting down 17-3 against a run-first, explosive offense also part of the plan?

I just saw a Rutgers fan playing air guitar on an AXE. Does that new money fanbase have any fucking identity whatsoever? Whe’re the transies and club kids at?

#65

Nope it means that West Virginia is really good and is not missing their top 2 RBs and their #1 WR either.

Ummm….I really do not need the Breeders’ Cup updates…do not even remotely know what they are talking about and I don’t want to see smarmy old men grabbing their trophy wives’ ass…how about some fucking football updates? Like Kentucky getting Croomed right now?

#66—I think that Croom going to a bowl is the approach of the apocalypse…the clowns on ABC dressing as the Three Stooges…fires in CA…monsoons on the east coast…yep…it’s the end of the world.

Hey, I need Kentucky to get another 10 points in the 4th and send it to OT, at least. Prove me wrong, Wildcats.

But, honestly. Rafeal Little is a fumbling liability, and losing your a WR is not the be all end all, and if it is then you are not very good to begin with.

If Kentucky is “so good” after all they beat LSU, why can’t they defeat Miss State, who is just not very good.

It is “parity” when the better SEC teams go down to crap, but it is a weak conference when Louisville loses to Syracuse or Oklahoma loses to Colorado.

Oh, and I hope you beat LSU and win the West, because your SEC West champion ,and potential SEC champion, could not beat the 5th-8th best team in the ACC on a neutral field.

1. - sorry, you’ll be getting your glue factory updates until the day is done. Welcome to Disnergy!!!

Baffert did grab her ass right there on national TV. One of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.

#55
Yes, this is sad but true…..
My next door neighbor is the son of a Bama great named Butch Henry….My neighbors first name is Trammell, (which I thought to be a peculiar name)being named after Pat Trammell…
His older brother is named Pell…..after Charlie Pell….
and , yes , you guessed it, Pell works for Regions Bank as a high ranking officer for the Alabama based bank, and the inspiration for that commercial. You cant make this stuff up….

WOOOO.

Oregon fumbles opening kickoff. USC recovers.

Oregon just fumbled and USC is going bananas….why is this game not nationally televised?

scratch that Kentucky is on their 5th string RB.

Every Saturday something new happens, Mississippi State gets to play Kentucky after Kentucky went through South Carolina, LSU, and Florida. No excuse, Kentucky should be winning this game anyway. Some teams come into a game more excited, more ready to win a game then the other team-Kentucky played their hearts out against LSU and pulled out a win. Florida State played their hearts out for Bobby Bowden and beat Alabama. Thats they way college football works. I am not part of some “SEC is the bestest” cabal. I just want my fucking team to win every Saturday.

NOW USC just fumbled!

I wish SunSportsTV had an alternatve channel that just pointed a camera at the field. I wanna see what’s going on on the whole field, not just little clips of coaches’ handshakes, Spikes tossing his dreads around, etc.

Well, that Wake game wasn’t much fun. The Deacons only had one true touchdown drive, but scored 37 points off of UNC’s mistakes.

Coop are you even watching the game?!

Miss St biggest liabilty this year is their offense. Their defense is actually pretty decent, but their offense puts them in so many difficult positions, they can’t pull it out. But Kentucky keeps turning the ball over, which means Miss St doesn’t is playing with short fields and able to put up points.
Kentucky is short-handed and playing poorly to boot.

As for Bama’s loss to FSU, I can’t explain that except that a lot of the SEC teams are inconsistent this year. However I would challenge you to come up with a conference this year that isn’t riddled with inconsistent teams.

Kentucky is about 8 min from getting Croomed.

31-14, thanks in part to FIVE Kentucky turnovers.

Kentucky losing fucks the SEC as it just hurts LSU and I cannot deal with a OSU-BC championship.

The only class Dennis Dixon is taking this semester: Billiards. Awesome.

Remove Woodson from the Heisman list replace it with Dixon, unless Dixon self-destructs today.

Classy, that there.

Please tell me someone caught the end WFVU game and posted the exchange on the Tube…

Quote from Nessler on the air: “…West Virginia’s defense has played well, including Dingle & Berry…”

All of them in the booth were giggling like 13-yr olds. Classic.

Wow, don’t look now, but the MSU Bulldogs are 5-4, and can become bowl eligible with a win in their remaining three games, including a home game against Ole Miss.

the intangibles of mexican jesus lead usc all the way to a 24-17 loss, capped off with an interception at the 0:11 mark in the 4th quarter.

i continue my campaign for mike macdonald as for usc’s starting quarterback.
