OPEN THREAD (OF THE DAMNED)

Nice fucking reporting, ESPN.

Go Vols

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3136391
Les Miles staying at LSU.

Well, this DOES put a damper on our signage. Thanks a fuckin’ lot, WWL.

Herbie jumped the gun because he was salivating at the thought of his beloved Buckeyes winning the next five matchups against UM due to Les Miles brain farts.

Well I have solved the mystery…Miles will stay at LSU, and HIS HAT will go and coach at Michigan….the only way to appease both fan bases….he will announce this shortly…

Miles press conference at 1:45P. Makes no sense to have a press conference if you’re not going to stay.

What a freekin mess…..I love this car wreck we call ther 2007 cfb season

Given that we live in a democratic country based on compromise, can’t we just vote Miles to be sent to Michigan State College, in Baton Arbor…and be done with it?

I am telling you, the little alien that lives inside his hat that tells him all the crazy shit to do is going to fly that Hat straight to Michigan….its a done deal, and his body will remain at LSU…

I wonder if anybody has told Tenuta he can put his winter mucklucks away.

If Miles stays, he simply confirms that he is a complete and total moron. LSU will never love Les Miles.

Orson,
Are those guys in the picture wearing Guess? jeans from 1985? They are kinda high waisted….looks like some sorta of gay, Magnum PI mustached, bizarre kung fu school that teaches the first punch go directly to the orbital socket……

Is the 1:45 PC confirmed or rumor?

1:45 PC is confirmed, best as I can tell.

Does this mean that Tenuta is joining Miles in Baton Rouge to replace Pelini?

confirmed rumor…..

It appears nobody wants the Michigan job. Can they bring Gary Moeller back?

In the name of all that is Holy – no Tenuta to LSU scenario. I do not want to have to face that D with those players for the next 2 years. Let him stay at the North Ave. Trade School where he can play hellacious D with manageable talent.

chainsaw indeed – if that happens…….

Damn, that 10 minutes of Tenuta was the most football excitement I had felt this year.

Its going to be an interesting couple of weeks up here in the Wolverine state. Most of us had mentally settled on Miles being hired.

Now? No idea.

I always thought Mandel was more of a Fop user myself.

Tenuta claims he’s not talked to Miles and doesn’t know what’s going on:

http://www.ajc.com/gatech/content/sports/gatech/stories/2007/12/01/techreport_1202.html

Whew, crisis averted.

16 -

Based on what?

18 -

It’s Christmas 24 days early over here. I’d crack a beer in celebration if I could see straight.. Instead, I’m going to tip back my NyQuil for an extra gulp for this tremendous news.

This is actually great news for Michigan. There isn’t a viable “Michigan Man” out there—so we can finally go and hire someone from outside the program.

Brian Kelly’s coming to town. The only somewhat viable guy I’d rather have is Schiano.

LLlloyd coming outta retirement to announce he will be interim coach…if Osborn can do it, dammit, LLLoyd can…….nobody gives the Big M the bidness and gets away with it…..he drew a line in the sand with Miles..
“Either your in, or your out….make an assessment!!”

Plus the Kirk Herbstriets Ohio State (NEVER GRADUATE) ol’ one-two punch of having the balls to come out and prematurly eject Miles from LSU to Michigan, then back again, is really really funny….

Let’s see… ACC title game, Army-Navy blowout, MAC title game…

Yeah, I’ll be watching soccer for another hour or two.

What the fuck was that? It sure wasn’t I have agreed to terms with LSU.

Is this really over?

What a joke that ACC title game is. I think there are more emptys than people. How that game is not here in Charlotte amazes me. I know they thought FSU & Miami would be mainstays, but still. Charlotte is the heart of ACC Country(?) – if there is such a place…..

based on Miles and Ferentz, and who ever else turns down the job next.

Turn on ESPN right now if you want to see Miles’ press conference – it’s coming after this commercial break.

Uh, that wasn’t exactly a denial. Clearly, LSU is just trying to hold their shit together until the game is over.

ACC title game is making me sleepy…

Hope the whole thing teaches the NATS fans a valuable lesson: the only way you’re keeping Tenuta is if you give him the HC job. B-level jobs with no HC but a top-level DC don’t keep said DC…particularly when interviewing other DCs for the vacant HC job.

Tenuta at LSU would worry me a bit…but it’d be more or less a less disciplined version of Saban’s D there, and the Dawgs were ok dismantling that in 2004…

Is Ron English still a candidate?

If not, they should hire Mike Hart. Because, he can carry the team.

Seriously.

I just saw Miles’ comments in the presser.

I think there’s a good chance he’s retarded.

He said “I am the coach at LSU; I plan on being the coach at LSU.” He sounded very angry that he had to address Herbie’s report this morning with his team, but didn’t say “I am absolutely not going anywhere and I signed an extension this morning,” so conspiracy theorists, run wild.

Les strikes me as the type of person that’d sign with an “X”…mainly because he never learned to print

yeah, he plans on being the coach at LSU – for today at least…….

Ron Jeremy is available.

34

As an Alabama fan, Dave, trust me — he’s gone.

“I am the coach at LSU.” OK.

“I will be the coach at LSU.” Yes — for about three more days.

“I have no interest in talking to anybody else.” I do, however, have interest in getting the hell out of the God-forsaken town of Baton Rouge and returning to my alma mater, Michigan.

Never used the words “next year.” Never used the word “Michigan.”

Believe what you want, but I’m telling you — this is a desperate attempt to hold the team together for a championship game. He’s as good as gone.

@ 37

…..speaking of guys with balls – among other impressive attributes

Here is the transcript of Les Miles press conference, and yes, he may be mildly retarded…

28 -

Neither Ferentz nor Miles have publicly been offered the job; it’s all rumors, speculation and innuendo.

Of course, it is possible that someone from UT paid one of Herbie’s “sources” to plant this story the morning of the SEC Championship Game. Now that’s a conspiracy theory.

Or, the conspiracy theory could be that someone at Michigan wanted to make a Buckeye (Herbstreit) look bad on national TV.

I posted this in the “Miles to Michigan” tread:

I wish some of these favored candidates for the big jobs would reject the school’s offer.

The panic, fumbling, PR bullshit, and distress that comes with second (or third or fourth) attempts to secure a head coach is much more fun and interesting to watch.

And, sometimes, the results are better than expected. See Carroll, Pete.

Or not. See Weis, Charlie.

Looks like I got my wish.

ACC game just roused me from slumber…

Things I didn’t know before today: when you block an extra point try and return it to the house, it’s only worth two points.

Seems like a waste of rushing 90+ yards on the part of the defensive player.

I agree with you guys who say that was a non-denial denial. He had no choice going into this game to do that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he bolts. The anger was a nice touch (see also, “I did not have sex with that woman”), but he didn’t exactly say he’d be there forever.

“I am the coach at LSU. I will be the coach at LSU (until 7:30P tonight)”

Nice to see Herbstreit with egg on his face, but I think Miles pulls a Saban here. I thought I heard Rece Davis mumble something about an extension, but it didn’t sound too convincing.

Wow…
Quoth the Hat:
“There will be no questions for me; I represent me in this issue, please ask me after. I’m busy. Thank you very much, and have a great day.”

No “mildly” about it…

Clearly Ozmodiar doesn’t give him speaking lessons…

#46

How much would you think it would be worth?

That 2 point rule is relatively new. It used to just be “no good”.

1. - for whatever reason (conditioning, most likely), I was thinking it should be six. Whatever. Two is better than nothing, and VT got the ball anyway, so it might as well be like a safety.

Sean O’Keefe was once Secretary of the Navy. Good man. Really.

Somebody forgot to tell BC that VT was going to roll all over them in the ACCCG.

other folks remember Ryan was ineffective against VT in the midst of rain and mud…and it is neither rainy nor muddy in JAX today.

Miles has apparently not signed the “agreement” that was reached between LSU and him.

He’s gone.

And with Bo Pelini is coming back to Nebraska, LSU might be a little worried about next year.

Herbie just called to tell me that the new word is Chan Gailey to Michigan. “Write it down,” he said.

So now it is written, and it sorta fits, no?

I don’t think Jacksonville is going to be able to use the weather as an excuse for today’s sorry attendance.

hey – i personally know sean o’keefe. he’s a really nice guy.

but then again, where do i know him from? working at a private country club in upstate new york, where he used to live. so i guess pappy it is.

In other news…is it me, or is Orson starting to do real reporting now? He was at the press conference!! Crap, next thing you know, he’s going to get a real interview or something… I don’t know whether to be pleased for him or terrified for the rest of us…

Whether Miles goes or stays, I’m going on the record right now: LSU is fucked in the SECCG. They looked distracted as hell against Arkansas, and whatever was distracting them has only gotten worse over the past week.

What I can’t understand is why LSU gave Michigan permission to talk to Miles before the championship game. They already know that focus is not exactly Les’s strong suit — why give him any more opportunity to fuck the conference title up?

No offense to SEC country, you’ve had some valid criticisms of ESPN/ABC being more of a Big 10 network that I’ll agree with,

but what was with CBS crew saying “this is Michigan’s fault.” Michigan did not leak anything. They have had no contact with Miles or his agent. The AD is waiting until Monday to place a phone call, per request of LSU’s AD. CBS was saying “why did Michigan even announce the sought permission.” They did not, LSU announced that Bill Martin asked permission.

This is like the breakup of a relationship where someone is denying cheating, and after they breakup, they suggest friends with benefits while they work on trusting the other person for snooping, and a month later the other person finds out the cheating was validated.

I love how ABC/ESPN is cutting out the part where he called them out in the halftime report. Miles looked ready to cut somebody.

I’m not taking the Alabama job.

Will, yeah, UGA fared realllllll well against that Saban defense in 2003 as well. Twice. Go get your shine box suckah.

I will be keeping score on whether Miles is normal or retarded…so far:

Normal=0

Retarded=5

ESPNNews is going over the presser like the fucking Zapruder film. They are exhibiting very Warren Commission-like damage control techniques in an attempt to save some credibility on this story.

Pelican, you should also keep track of this score:

Miles: unedefeated against Bama

LSU: five in a row over the Tahd.

61 -

Is “batshit crazy” a choice? If not, I vote for retarded.

1. - nice. “Parsing” does not even come close to describing what they are doing right now.

It’s perfectly okay if we speculate in blog forums about this, but replicating this on national TV is a problem.

Sticking with my prediction a couple of weeks ago: Miles to Michigan. Jack Del Rio to LSU.

Got that from a Man Who Knows These Things. (He gave me Holtz to South Carolina a week before Holtz was doing his halftime gig on CBS and denying that he was going anywhere, so I am listening.)

#60
Nick Saban: Aight, I said, no more shines. Maybe you didn’t hear about it, aight,you’ve been away a long time. They didn’t go down there and tell you. I don’t shine shoes anymore.

LSUJoshua: Relax, will ya? Ya flip right out, what’s got into you? I’m breaking your balls a little bit, that’s all. I’m only kidding with ya…
 
LSUJoshua: [takes a drink] Now go home and get your fuckin’ shinebox.

Nick Saban: Mother fuckin’ mutt! You, you fucking piece of shit! You mother fuck… Fuck! Keep that motherfucker here, keep him here! AIGHT!!

LSUJoshua…I’m sure 2003 is special for ya, beating up on UGA’s weakest Oline in Richt’s tenure and all…but last I checked you haven’t come within a few TDs of UGA since.

Also, speaking of retarded, Craig James just uttered the phrase “cobweb of worms”…

Is there a censor button? I have a post and its being moderated for all the f-bombs? WTF

I’m tellin ya’ll, Deep Blue is the next coach at Michigan. He can evaluate over 200 million positions per second and search to a depth of 40 ply. You pions cannot even comprehend how his Grunfeld Defence will change the way college football is played. Miles and Tenuta ain’t got shit on Deep Blue. And what 17 high school senior wouldn’t want to play for the supercomputer who defeated Garry Kasparov?

I’ve heard the Del Rio to LSU rumors. I don’t buy it.

He’s coaching a playoff team in a very competitive division.

Is there some connection to LSU, or is he just an attractive, “name” candidate?

Good God, that was the worst throwoff ever at the ACC Championship halftime. I’m disgusted.

What, are there like 10,000 people there?

Wow….we call these coaching changes the “Saban Effect”…..j/k….as an delusional Alabama fan and delusional pseudo-journalist I can say there is never a dull moment in the SEC, on the field or off the field, and it usually involves Les Miles and his shennanigans, hijinks, and whacky tomfoolery….
We will miss you Les…first Evel Knievel, a true daredevil off the field, and now Les Miles….a daredevil on the field with his teams future…Just like Evel’s pelvis, eventually your luck runs out and you hit the pavement going 80mph from a 2 story drop……

The real question: is Tubs going to address the media this weekend after AU tried to call his bluff last night?

Jack Del Rio looks a lot like Shooter McGavin.

And “over 200 million positions a minute” might allow Deep Blue to categorize all of Ron Jeremy’s movies in only two weeks…

Damn this ACC championship game just proves why it is so important to have a conference championship game and why the Big Ten sucks for not having one.

I mean really, I would give anything to see someone from Big Ten country try to throw a football through a Dr. Pepper bottle….that shit is so exciting.

But I only want a CCG if we are guaranteed that 8 out of 10 games will be rematches…because there is nothing as exciting as watching a rematch of two teams on a neutral location with 20K fans in attendance. Damn, we’ve got to get one of these in our conference.

Hey LSU Josh,

where were you for hours, days, weeks after you got outcoached by Houston Nutt, which nobody alive thought was possible?

grow some balls, since you have been defending crazy, almost retarded, Les Miles after the Alabama and Auburn games.

you were on here, post after post, talking about how LSU owned Alabama and Florida.

yeah, but when it mattered, you lost again, like you always will as long as Les Miles is the coach at LSU.

get your head out of your ass, and at least wear a polo to football games in the future. t-shirts are for my 10 year old nephew.

I wanttago to meatchicken!

College coaches are becoming as dispensable as NFL coaches, the only problem is that the NFL has a designated “dead” period between the end of the playoffs and the the draft. College doesn’t have that “dead” period in which schools can conduct their business…the bowls, conference championships, recruiting, and seasons ending at different times all get in the way, hence the reason for everything to be so secretive. Sadly, I only see it getting worse and worse each year.

#75
I just wonder if your “never a dull moment” conference is eroding away the fabric of college football. You basically have 1 slime ball agent bleeding the entire SEC…he’s probably the one behind the scenes telling the coaches to always bring up how tough the SEC is and how fast the athletes are. I mean if all you ever hear from every coach is how tough this conference is and how fast it is, I guess you start to believe it.

First it was your SEC championship game (nothing more than a new revenue stream for the SEC), then the BCS, and now the three ringed circus that is the coaching carousel in the SEC.

Sean O’Keefe? He’s got a freaking asteroid named after him, so dont mess with him. Oh, and his Secretary of the Navy photo belongs in the Stache HoF
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_O’Keefe

1. - now that is one hell of a whup broom right there on Mr. O’Keefe.

(link to pic here)

#82,

Not to beat a dead horse, but the SEC looked pretty tough and fast in Glendale last year. Just saying.

Also, for whatever it’s worth, it should be noted that about the only people who have spoken out on the record in favor of a college football playoff system are SEC people (Tubberville, Spurrier, Meyer, as well as UF’s president Bernie Machen off the top of my head).

LSUJoshua……

Please. You beat us by 7 at your house on a lucky pass against a blown coverage after our all time leading scorer FG kicker inexplicably missed 3 FG. Wasn’t our day. Then, granted, you pantsed us in the SECCG.

However, we absolutely BEAT you asses in ‘04 & – to prove it wasn’t a fluke – again in the ’05 SECCG. So I think we have you one upped there, sparky.

Can I not wait until (or somewhat unlikely if) GameDay returns to LSU. That shit is going to be fantastic. If the corndog eaters are have as good a memory as the Auburn fans they will never let Herbie forget this one.

Les Miles is so dumb he thought the cows parachuting on the field was real.

Les Miles is a fuck. Who cares?

LSU Joshua is like the rich man’s version of South Carolina Gamecock delusion.

Whereas South Carolina fans believe they are relevant in the SEC and will “rise up” to be competitive in the East, Joshy believes that LSU dominates every team they play, especially this season, and that Miles’ balls out crazy calls were actually coaching genius.

Except he really does not have an answer for Kentucky or Arkansas and was nowhere to be found after both teams defeated the greatest team in college football history.

Don’t believe me? Just ask him.

Myself, I always show up after Clemson giftwraps another game for whomever, be it Tech, BC, etc.

Fortunately for me, nobody on here really cares what happens in the ACC.

Not true, there are 28,000 people in Jaxville who care about the ACC

This SEC championship game sucks…the Tigers are a mess, I hate the vols and it looks like GA is playing stupid VA tech in the Orange bowl ’cause some assholes want a PAC-10 and Big 10 Rose bowl and I am sick of this stupid Dr. Pepper Amos & Andy commerical and I hate the end of the season when all the basketball shit is on….bad day

Vols appear to have a majority of the crowd as is typical for the East team.

Damn Vols have 70,000 people there and LSU 15,000…LSU will still be louder….

Tennessee rushes out onto the field jumping around like there are naked, oiled-up Penthouse Pets waiting for them, LSU wanders in like they got lost on their way to Chik-Fil-A.

If I’m a Tiger fan, I do not like this.

There is something delicious about hearing tosuBuckeye bitch and moan about media bias in favor of the SEC. How many times did the AP absolutely cornhole SEC teams in the pre-BCS era, as there were virtually no southern AP voters?

I love it.

I HAVE CATEGORIZED YOUR SEC COACHING CAROUSEL. NUTT TO UM. TUBBERVILLE TO ARK. FULMER TO AUB. GAILEY TO UT. MY HIGHER LEVEL PROJECTIONS ARE ACCURATE TO THE 12TH PLY. DO YOU WANT TO PLAY CHESS?

meanwhile, in nebraska, they are having wet and hard BOGASMS.

ABC just left the tied ACC Championship game to switch to a replay of last week’s Skins Game.

Just turned over to CBS. Who vomited on my TV screen?

This is going to be a long 4 hours visually.

is it just me, or does the lead official for the SECCG look like he is hopped up on acid and HGH?

Did someone dye Tennessee’s uniforms in a giant bucket of piss?

God whose awful idea was it to put Tennessee in Pumpkin/ orange vodka puke jersey’s and pants. This is giving me a migraine.

Fulmer looks like that big peach ower that sits on I-85.

Interesting also that the Tennessee team has blatantly violated the first rule of fashion for their fanbase: namely, if you are going to wear an orange shirt and orange shorts/pants, they must be different shades of orange. Bizarre.

Fulmer looks like that big peach tower that sits on I-85.

Touchdown, Vols. So far the “orange-out” seems to be working.

Don’t forget the raging hard-on they had for the Big Ten in general and tOSU specifically last year when they went undefeated and butchered Florida for the national championship.

LSU looks completely deflated…and what is up with the all-orange unis? I cannot stand hearing “Rocky Top” all damn afternoon….

Wes —

His hands were definitely shaking on that penalty call on the kickoff. He’s either in the early stages of Parkinson’s, hungover or hopped-up.

Dawg 05.

No, that’s Georgia Tech who marinate their jerseys in hot steaming piss.

Les Miles can suck my balls. In three hours I will no longer be able to make fun of the Vols for not having won an SEC title in nearly a decade, and it’ll be all his fault.

The number 47 is everywhere.

Gurn-

That dude is freaking me out. I think the play clock problems are all in his head, and the orange uniforms are fucking with his acid high.

BC is driving to tie the score with under 3 minues to go….

I understand Hester opens beer bottles by headbutting them.

I’ll tune into the SEC CCG sometime in the 4th quarter so I can observe Les “orange flag on my bike” Miles’ brilliance.

Matt Ryan picked on 4th-and-4 in the ACCCG. Hokies to the Orange Bowl.

Are there any LSU fans in the Ga Dome? All I see is a sea of orange….

There’s no Big 10 Championship games every year because Ohio State-Michigan would have to play each other 2 weeks in a row every year.

Too many people would hang themselves if that happened.

If Hester and Tebow ran into each other at full speed, what would happen?

Reversal of Earth’s rotation

Les Miles to the Miami Dolphins…it only makes sense in the most perverse football/coaching changes season I have ever seen……

By the way, Tennessee’s equipment manager asked me to inform y’all that those monochrome unis aren’t “orange,” they’re “Erotic Tangerine.”

If Tenn plays Oregon in HDTV, I would take the same acid the SEC ref did and have the best 8 hours since 1992.

Re: Hester vs. Tebow
Is the game on the line? If not Tebow destroys JH. If it is, Tebow cries and Hester scores a TD.

Call me crazy, but doesnt this game look like one big advertisment for Home Depot? Doesnt Arthur Blank live in the ATL Talk about your conspiracies….free advertising by having the Tenn vols …..I thought I saw a few Tn fans with Home Depot Aprons on….

How about Tebow going at full speed against Pam Ward?

Tebow wakes up just in time to pick up his 1st Heisman.

Rob Reiner announcing the team is just one more reason to hate UCLA.

I’m a big USC fan, and, yes, they are playing much better than earlier in the year.

But, any talk of them as “playing the best football in the country” right now is absolutely ridiculous. Mark May made this statment last week and the commentators for today’s game said something to that effect at the beginning of the game.

USC proceeded to go three and out, recover a fumble, and then failed to convert a 4th and 1.

That AT&T commercial is so stupid..no one has ever lived in Tuscaloosa and worked in NYC, LA, Austin and Berlin..

In fact no one whose lived in Tuscaloosa has ever even been to any of those places.

I’m still trying to suss out how the Telecoms need immunity or they’ll “go broke” yet they can afford to hire Norm McDonald AND Steve Buscemi to voice gingerbread men…

Oh, and may Ainge do his best Theisman impression today with any LSU player playing the role of LT. I hate UT.

OJ just announced the USC starting line up wearing Tenn Vols colors.

Gah… Ron Cherry just flagged Tennesee for giving my eyes the business

Am I the only one out there drinking heavily?

143 -

Yeah, I hear ya. At least the guy should have said, “Danke, baby” with an ass smack or something Blazing Saddles-ish like that.

I expect Tebow would cry like a bitch.

Nope I’m still at work drinking heavily, just waitin on the Vicodin to kick in…..right…..about……nowwwww…now, where did I put the Nitrous from my do- it- yourself Home Dentistry course?

Surprise, Miles goes for on 4th down – again.

Going for it on 4th down is so overrated. Yeah, there’s a time and place for it, but it’s not “genius” just because you make it.

In most cases, it’s simply a roll of the dice and has nothing to do with coaching prowess. Hardly as edgy or ballsy as it’s made out to be.

Has there ever been a luckier team than UT?

Three wins this year by missed / made last second field goals, playing an LSU team with distractions everywhere and an unproven backup QB.

Then there was 1998, the MNC and last SECC year. BS PI call gets them by Syracuse, Sterner puts the ball on the ground in the most bizarre sequence ever, and they play FSU in the MNC led by their second (maybe third?) string QB.

Karma’s a bitch, and one day it’s coming for the Great Pumpkin.

Matty Ice indeed.

I want to play those chumps in the Gator Bowl, they’re slower than we are. And that’s saying something.

I just hope Missouri beats Oklahoma so the Fiesta Bowl gets the first and third pick of the at-large pool.

And the Power Towel song rocks, even if it put K-State’s season in the toilet.

Ohio State is luckier…they get 9 home games a year..their out of conference games are a joke…They lose in November to Ron Zook …They get a BS pass interference call after they lost to Miami in the NC game…

“Whose”? Think you meant “who’s” = “who has.”

Sincerely,

Perriloux is getting fucking hammered.

1. Thanks…

I guess I should disclose I went to school in Starkville…and no one from there has been to any place bigger than Huntsville.

Yeah, but there are people from Huntsville who have been to the fucking moon, so that’s worth something.

There’s more to do on the moon than Huntsville.

Touche’.

That guy in that commercial isnt from Tuscaloosa, more like Ensley at best……

Win or lose, UCLA makes teams play “weird” and often bad.

It’s like a Top 10 and Bottom 10 college football highlights show rolled into one.

Washington vs Hawaii late night (I’ll be passed out by halftime of the Mizzou-OK game)…

Washington has played #1 toughest schedule this year.

Hawaii has played the worst schedule in the NCAA this year.

Dawg 05 — funny that you mention Deep Blue. Bill Callahan’s allegedly been sighted in Ann Arbor.

Doug — your average Tennessee fan is surprisingly unamused when you ask them exactly what shade of peach their uniforms are. It’s recommended that you only perform this maneuver when they are more likely to be unarmed, like at a neutral site game.

I love a good mid major underdog as much as the next person… but I hope to God Washington wins tonight. Hawaii is not ready for prime time.

Michigan should hire PJ from Nav…he can go back to treating Tressel like his whipping boy again

SEC winner to Sugar Bowl…last BCS pick goes to Sugar Bowl….which looks to be Hawaii…There’s not enough Hurricane Mix in N.O. for me to get excited about a LSU-Hawaii or Tenn- Hawaii game.

Why would Kay jewelers advertise romantice gifts during a football game? We are all drunk and horny for football, not exactly “commitment to a loved one” mode.

What they should advertise on Saturdays is their “One in the Pink, One in the Stink” diamond bracelet with the DP charm. For when you are fond of her freakiness.

I need to go into marketing.

“Cheerleader GangBang 17, Starring COLT DAVID”

So as of rigt now… all we know for sure is that VT’s playing in the Orange Bowl, right?

Did Michigan hire Ron Jeremy yet?

Wow. Orson got to meet Lundquist. Clay Travis is gonna be jealous.

Q: Do you think Verne and Orson compared, a-la Rorsharch, Tebow’s baby-batter stains on their collars?

Well, I just watched No Country for Old Men, Tennessee is leading the SEC Championship Game, and I’m going to a bar later. I think I might be setting my personal record for most disappointing endings in one day.

The only way I’m gonna get a blowjob tonight is to go to Jared.

Grimey:

Until that ending, I was convinced it was the Coen Brothers’ tour de force.

Big letdown.

#173
Dont know who said it first, but props to the guy who came up with “The Minivan” 2 up front, and 3 in the back….

Vern and Gary’s SEC man-crush is >>> than Brent Musburger’s man-crush on Jim Tressel…I’m just saying…

Vern does rock and is probably the best in the business.

Hey Swindle, any chance you can get Vern dancing to Soldier Boy or whatever the hell it was that they were getting down to at the Georgia game?

the WORM!

I have this premonition of Hester getting hit so hard his first NFL game that his head is jammed into his torso like a turtle.

I think Ron Franklin is the best in the business. Why those fuckchops at ESPN took him off the SEC prime time game is beyond me.

Ron Franklin is awesome

100 cocktails to the man who creates an animated gif of Fulmer’s reaction to that missed field goal.

Pelican pants — my minivan seats 7.

And to extend the disturbing imagery, how would one do a 12 or 15 passenger van? I know, goatse style.

@187

Indeed. His arrogance is only usurped by his flatulence.

Thomas Ritter will cut your fucking head off if you eyeball him. That guy has bodies in his basement.

168 – Nice I-AA reference.

Tracey Ham should not have beaten Furman in ’85. But, Furman got their revenge in ’89.

F U Erk Russell, yet RIP at the same time.

Those LSU and UT idiot kickers fucking suck. It’s clutch time, assholes!

Yes Gary D., it’s always a good thing when receivers present themselves.

How would one even accomplish the “minivan”? Seems difficult. Trying to figure it out while watcing football, good times.

Pretty good game, you know, for a shitty game.

I thought I heard Gary Danielson explaining something by using the Pythagorean theorem earlier, but all us math majors think that math is everywhere. Plus, I’ve been drinking solidly since around 10.

We call that particular SEC ref the “MethRef”. He’s constantly hopped up on something better than we’re on. Guess he didn’t bring enough to share…

Can you get fired the same day you call a press conference to announce you’re saying?

Just don’t try and take his Meth, cause he’ll cut you whitebread

Is there a name for “4 in the stink, thumb in the pink”?

(Btw, if you could do this with a girl, she’s not dating material…but tell your friends)

Brandon, it wasn’t the wine coolers. Gary did, indeed, invoke Pythagorus.

Shoulda known it was the “MethRef”. Pookie is the line judge.

4 in the stink and the thumb in the pink?

I call that the Smelly Handshake.

Doucet got invited to a gangbang, but it looks like he was on the recieving end.

Geez, this game…

Georgia would’ve had fun in this game versus LSU.

…

Sorry, still bitter about GA-UT game this year & disappointed at the unwillingness of other East teams to knock them off…

fake punt? batshit strkes again

Les Miles = idiot.

LSU = extremely fun to watch!

I love the job Richt did this year…but man I’m really wishing he’d gotten into the motivation game prior to the UT game…

There have been eerie parallels between this season and 2004 (UGA also beat UF, the Red Sox won the WS in a sweep)

At least we won’t be playing Wisconsin in a bowl…

I think the Busted Tees gal would be up for a minivan

Dammit Miles didn’t invent that fake field goal they ran against South Carolina, quit acting like he did.

Ugh…more depression-inducing things I’m noticing:
UT’s liability of a secondary is going to be really good next year

This ref is jittery/creepy.

LSU should run Hester, where’s he been?

“Turned into a fight for the SEC Championship”

What was it before? An exhibition before both teams split a keg afterward?

LSU is depressing me…all the players are injured and Les Miles is a huge flake and I am so sick of the Diet Dr Pepper commerical with Tom Jones and I hate the Vols…really hate them….

1. -

Unless you’re an LSU fan. My cardiologist is getting rich off of Corky’s coaching. On the plus side, my 2 year has learned lotsa new words. None of which are appreciated in polite company, but at age 2, I can still shrug it off and say how “cute” it is.

FUCKSTICKS!

LSU can’t beat Tennessee AND themselves! Same script, different weekend.

Did Les Miles just yell the words “Poise! Poise!” on the sideline?

If so, was he channeling Kramer from the Miss Rhode Island episode, or calling for an adult undergarment?

Who else thinks that WVU’s in for a MAO! vs. Pitt tonight? Yeah, it seems unlikely, but…

Ahh, now THAT’S the Erik Ainge I’ve come to know and love!

Verne just put the “they haven’t had a turnover” hex on them.

Ouch.

Nice throw, Ainge, you douche nozzle.

Stafford would have DDT’d LSU.

Bookies are smart.

Worst. Pass. Ever.

okay, the LSU touchdown made me feel better….amd thank god they got the 2 pt. conversion

The funniest thing about reading the Michigan message boards about the whole Les Miles soap opera is that they seem to be missing the larger point… If you want a good coach from the SEC that may be available, why wouldn’t you go after Richt versus Miles?

Whatever, I am sure that most of the rest of the Big Ten would welcome Les ’I’m gonna call a fake qb sweep pass back on 4th and 1’ Miles with open arms… Hell, even [NAME REDACTED] has to be rooting for that hire.

Note to every QB alive (and especially the one in deer-hunting orange): Don’t throw the ball into the flat when you’re deep in your own territory. Just don’t.

brawndo,
While you may have “what plants crave” you are missing the obvious thing here:

Les SMiles PLAYED @ MICHIGAN
He’s got ties to the school.
Richt (or any other SEC HC) do not.

You may as well tell them to give Urban a call, since he beat OSU (or Holtz)

Bookies are smart…..and rich.

@207

The loss to UT was a pre-requisite for the ’Dawgs motivation for the rest of the year.

I know everyone is watching the SEC game, but I’m flipping to the USC-UCLA game and in the last six plays there has been a fumble (UCLA), fumble (USC), interception (UCLA). USC now has the ball, for, I assume, 2 plays before they turn it over.

Horrible quality game. The announcers have chalked it up to the “pressure of the rivalry.”

#223: I agree, I can’t figure out what all the hoopla about Miles is all about. All he’s done so far is show that he can go 10-2 with Nick Saban’s players. Which is like showing that you can get laid when there’s a woman already naked in your bed.

If Michigan wanted a philosophy change they should have gotten Coach O. Snow and cold weather would only confuse the O.

V. Lundquist, you know the V is for Voodoo.
Verne commented that LSU’s RBs hadn’t fumbled in 600+ carries.
2 plays later, Trindon Holliday fumbles.
Then he says Tenn didn’t have a turnover or a penalty and on that play Ainge serves up a Pick 6.

Also, jamiedawg, technically I think we want Tenn to win, but I am having a hard time pulling for Fulmer and those heinous orange uniforms also. There is talk that LSU could possibly jump us with a win.

Let me be the first one to say this….

We’re headed to triple OT Vol Victory!

Come one Will… Bo didn’t even play at Michigan. Hell, they haven’t had a coach that played at Michigan in a long time. If they want a GOOD coach, Richt would be a better option. If they want somebody that will be abused by OSU and give teams like Illinois a chance every year, Short Bus Miles makes perfect sense.

brawndo—

why do you say Richt “might be available?”

Heck, if he is, send him to Auburn. We’ll make a hole.

233

It’s a helluva lot harder to pull Richt out of Athens than anyone out of Baton Rouge. And Michigan ain’t ready to pay that kind of big boy money for a football coach.

On an unrelated note: shouldn’t someone tell Erik Ainge that the Georgia Dome is climate-controlled?

fotodog…I know I should be pulling for the vols…they make my stomach hurt…the color of the unis, smokey, fat phil…I don’t know if I can do it. really, my stomach hurts and I know it is this game.

Dr. Pepper only budgets for 2 commercial filmings a year apparently. Urge to kill rising…

Phil Fulmer….you’re no Les Miles.

Any coke dealers on line now?

the dr. pepper commericals are definitely making my stomach hurt as well.

As a Dawg, I simply can’t pull for the Vols under any circumstances. Not in a box, not with a fox. I have no interest in seeing Fulmer’s “O face” tonight.

true that, Doug…

#237: yes, and that commercial has surpassed “This is our country” in its ubiquity and annoyance.

Please read #232 please

RC Cola no longer makes commercials?

232

You might be psychic

Please don’t read 244

There’s 2005 Ainge again.

232

Or maybe not

Fat Phil is about to pull a hernia….

232

Or maybe not…

Dammit, my wireless crapped out.

When I say might, I mean that Michigan might be able to match a salary offer from Athens than Baton Rouge. I hate to break it to the bull dog fans out there, but Michigan does have a greater tradition than Georgia. Both of their fan bases may be equally unreasonable (perhaps with the edge to Michigan there), but Michigan does have the winningest program of all time.

From us slow big ten(11) people, I can guaranty you that the upper midwest would rather welcome Miles than Richt into the whore known as Ann Arbor.

Aside from 2 drives, Ainge has looked very pedestrian.

Yo, EDSBS guy;

Do you really believe what that he has agreed. OOhhhh contrar, my friend. You must pay attention.

Bertman leaked a “deal” that he and Bass have negotiated as the best possible LSU counteroffer. Michigan AD has not even met with Les yet. That will happen tomorrow.

Read Bertman’s release, that there is an “agreement” unsigned. That agreement is a contract. Bass went down to LSU Thursday to negotiate the a counter from LSU.

What is surprising is that LSU has ponied up a counter, before Michigan ever offered. Michigan is still looking at candidates in addition to Miles, and Miles is one of three or four candidates who MAY be offered the job. Nothing is a guarentee at this point.

Les’ comments were “I represent myself”. What do you think that means? It means that Bass does not have authority to sign and bind. He has not agreed to a deal, and you, of all people -whom I deem as relatively intelligent - should no that.

Les also said: “absolutely” in reply to the question whether he will coach this team next year.before taking the field. Ok. Well, last time I checked the worst possible bowl that LSU could play in is on January 1, 2008. Isn’t that next year?

So Bertman added some pressure on him by leaking an untrue story. Miles wasn’t happy about Herbrstreit’s report, but that report only added one new piece of info — Tenuta. Herbie merely said that Miles will take the job" barring something unforseen. That’s been reported since the third or fourth week of the season.

Bottom line, Les’ has not, and will not sign a contract with LSU until Michigan has hired its coach, whether it be him, or someone else. I respect what he said, b/c as he said before the game, his team was distracted. He is doing/did what he though necessary to get his team ready to play.

When this turns out with him at Michigan, in a week and a half to two weeks, Skip Bertman is going to look like the weasel he is.

So, um my Ducks are showing signs of life with their 5th string QB and nobody cares… its like the good old days, when the Pac 10 consisted of two teams and we definitely weren’t one of ’em….

Brawndo,
Richt has something like a $9 million buyout. Just be quiet and let it go.

If this game goes to overtime, I boycott college football for 1 year. Doctors orders.

Did Miles just kiss Bradley Dale Peveto?

From us slow big ten(11) people, I can guaranty you that the upper midwest would rather welcome Miles than Richt into the whore known as Ann Arbor.

Not so fast, my friend. I’d take Richt in a heartbeat.

Congrats, LSU! My mother-in-law will be happy tonight.

One other thing: is there any more perfect marriage in the sports broadcasting world than Dennis Miller and the Versus network?

I think not.

Way to go LSU! May not be in the NC but you won the SEC. Congrats.

Brawndo…

I think Richt wants to coach in a real conference. Besides, if he moves his lovely wife to a permafrost climate, she’ll stop kissing him on the sidelines forever.

If you’re a man…and like the ladies….You leave Athens for Ann Arbor?

Hell. F’n. No.

Just. Beat. Mizzu. Again.

Thanks.

Because when I think college football, I think George St. Pierre. Please tell me somebody else saw him just attempt the player intros for the WfVU-Pitt game. Sweet fancy Moses, how about finding someone who can speak l’anglais.

Who the HELL Is Georges St. Pierre?!
He was introducing the WV Mountaineers and was struggling mightily. Somebody get that guy an ESL teacher.

Looks like you’re better off trying to match $$ with LSU…or Florida.

I know as a Dawg fan I should cling to the odd hope of the MNC…but I will root for Mizzou if it keeps the MNC game Buckeye free. Last year’s was the worst game in a while (since the Miami-Husker game). Don’t want to see that again…and tOSU’s schedule this year was even softer than last years…like going from Fulmer-size soft to Mangino-size soft.

Ahem, West Virginia has its finger on the trigger…

WV kicker just gagged.

I hate the recent trend of player intros at the beginning of the game. They always go long and you miss part of the play after. Do that shit before the game if you want.

AZDuck, because nobody gets it and nobody has it?

Just talked to my LSU buddy. I’ve never heard somebody so despondent after his team won the SEC.

“I wish Miles would take his ass to Michigan,” was his comment.

Oregon game is geting good!

Hey, the US won the Davis Cup! USA! USA?

This just proves my point….
Retard Beats Crazy——Nutt
Retard Beats Fat and Lazy—-Fulmer
Sooner or later, retard gets institutionalized—-Michigan….

Maybe the Retard way of coaching isnt too bad after all…I bet if we take that hat off…we will see a kitty cat chasing a butterfly in a fog of rainbows…..

The battle of Ohio coaches.

Tonight:

Stoops (youngstown, ohio) vs. Pinkle (akron, ohio)

Possible bowl matchup:

The way Dan Fouts calls this {and all other Duck} game, you would think he went to Oregon or something…

I sthat Zook vs. Meyer mach up between 2 coaches in that AT&T commercial?

Jesus, aren’t there any decent soccer players in the state of Oregon?

Wow, Oregon really shit the bed there

The first thing everybody has to aware of is that I hate Michigan.

The second thing is that Michigan is about to have a major stadium upgrade which will push the value of the program up into the stratosphere.

The third thing is… What is Richt’s real buyout? Seriously… No coach has a 9 large buyout.

as a Dawg, I guess I am for Mizzou? I am hoping we go to the Rose bowl? is that still an option?

Everyone isrooting for Mizzou…No one wants to see Ohio State in another championship game.

In any sport.

It’s time to petition Myles Brand to mandate different title sponsors for each of the conference championship games, lest yet another late-autumn Saturday be turned into the Dr. Pepper Cavalcade Of Ads You’re Already Sick And Fucking Tired Of.

How ‘bout this: The SEC Championship Game Presented By Victoria’s Secret? Can we all get on board with that?

3rd bullet point.
UGA knew that FSU would come calling (hard) when Bowden retires or passes.

excellent point, Annapolis Doug…I forgot about the Fuckeyes.

Yes, Victoria’s Secret and co sponsered by a car chase/badass monster type movie. More monster.

Jamie…

The jerk-offs on the rose bowl selection committee would rather have a big ten vs pac ten game than a good game. You have no rooting interest here. If Oklahoma wins, Illinois will likely go. If Missouri wins, OSU goes.

Wolftiger — I’m pretty sure that was goodbye, as Peveto’s rumor to be heading north as Beaux’s DC. Note who got the gatorade bath?

Fucking Christ.

Let’s all take a moment and be thankful that Tennessee didn’t play West Virginia today.

At the end of this season it’ll go down to 8 million.

When signed the deal it was 10.

Or something close.

I hope they’re trying to make the big house nicer and not larger, b/c a giant bowl that isn’t that loud isn’t going really bring any more $$$ than it’s already bringing.

Fotodog…

I didn’t know that. Either Richt loves Athens or he is a moron. I am guessing the former.

That would certainly explain why his name isn’t brought up more often. I will bring this up no more.

dammit….I so confused with all this BCS shit….I just want the Dawgs in a decent bowl…I guess I am for whoever keeps tOSU out of national championship play….the Beavs just beat the Ducks….

Does WFVU want UGA to play in the title game?

As for the Big House expansion… It is my understanding that they won’t be adding that many seats, but they will be adding something like 80 luxury boxes ($$$).

I’m such a loser that I’m sitting here waiting on this average looking girl to come over (with her double DD’s) who has been at the Army-Navy game since 10 AM.

She’s gonna be Preakness drunk when she ges here.

Wait. I might be a winner!

OU #40 just textbook crunched Chase Daniels.

Yikes, is Chase Daniel an option QB tonight? Ouch.

Can’t believe I am watching this game, but….why the hell does Wannstache even have crutches? He just uses them to bang on the ground, he was even holding the both in one hand at one point.

I have to shut this down so she doesn’t read #302.

Oh well….OU 24 Mizzou 20

Heirbstreit and Musburger circle jerk with Disney exec’s.

BTW, if Miles does go to Michigan, he’ll need to take a position on an important issue.

Is he pro-Fuck Lion, or anti-Fuck Lion?

This could define his potential administration for years to come.

From what I’ve seen, I think Miles would be pro fuck lion.

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

HOW HARD IS IT TO SPIKE THE FUCKING BALL

How about the fact that Herby was just called-out on the air about his reporting on the Miles-Michigan gig?

wolftiger….I flipped to that game also…why is he on crutches? he got a contract extension so he doesn’t need the dog & pony show…for all the hype, this mizzou game is not so good.

I think Miles is a fuck lion.

Brawndo -

Not only is it real, but Richt requested it himself to keep other schools from calling him, and to let the kids he is recruiting know that he will be here for the long haul. He has moved his whole extended family to Athens – on his dime. He works for the most profitable and 3rd most valuable CFB program (according to Forbes). There is NO CHANCE that UM, or anyone else for that matter, will be able to get him to leave. Loyalty to his team and the University that gave him his first HC job mean more to him than a few extra bucks.

We just thank God we have him. Because we are very familiar with pedestrian coaches around here (Goff & Donnan).

I wish we had Richt at Auburn.

Georgia’s fixin’ to get on a run and be good for a while.

Is Ohio taking over the Big 12?

Kirk in the booth, Spielman on the sidelines, and both head coaches hail from Ohio…and they say the South is the King of College Football.

The sideline reporter said that technically Wandstache doesn’t need the crutches to walk- he can walk with the boot, but if he stands for a long period of time his ankle swells up and has more pain. So he just uses the crutches to keep the pressure of his foot to prevent that.

Holy hell. It’s like Pitt keeps wrestling the gun away from WFVU only to shoot themselves in the foot.

Did the Wannstache put Crystal Meth in his players’ Gatorade? I haven’t seen a Pitt guy this animated since Mark May inexplicably started making sense.

AZ’s PAC-10 Bowl Predictions:

USC – Rose
ASU – Fiesta
OSU – Holiday
UO – Sun
UCLA – Emerald
Cal – Armed Forces

FUCK.

Holy crap Dawg fans….Pat White is hurt.

OK brag on Ohio with a population of 12 million…

Mississippi has 2 million…

some could argue…best of all time

Best QB- Brett Favre (a stretch but he’s up there)
Best WR- Jerry Rice
Best RB- Walter Payton
Best punter- Ray Guy

There are those who coach..and those who play…

Why does Mizzou have go-go dancers for cheerleaders?

Nice personal foul, Pitt. Ballgame. Get ready for the worst MNC game ever: OSU vs WVU.

Nice Winger reference Reese Davis…

I’m sure Ohio is a fine state, but wtf cares where a coach was born?

If they were all OSU alums then maybe you’d have a point or something.

I have to say, I’m impressed with Pitt’s tackling. They are keeping WV in check for the time being…bad part is that WV doesn’t loose its entire offense with Pat White out like Oregon does, their backup looks pretty good.

Is anyone else amazed at how OU could lose a single game this year…I look at their guys and I’m amazed how they could ever lose a game. Must be the Crimson and Cream.

Yea…Pat White…from Alabama.

Holy Crap….we’re not that far from a Ohio State – Ga NCG!

Nice try Annapolis Doug – Ray Guy is from Thomson GA. My old man played against him in high school. 3 out of 4 ain’t bad though…..

A OSU-UGA MNC game means only one thing- my TV is gettin’ shot.

no team should be in the MNC when they don’t even win their own division, much less their own conference. But what does the BCS care about what is right?

#321… have you ever been to Missouri? Go-Go Dancers are Standard Operating Procedure.

As a football fan, I’d like to agree with you wolftiger. But as a UGA fan, I just don’t care how UGA would make the title game. Plus, what happens if they make it and win?

My point is…(I think) that arguments about a flawed system are never going to make sense themselves.

That, and Go Dawgs. resumes drinking

I think it looks like a tOSU and W. Va championship game…I don’t know how GA jumps over LSU anyhow…

You know, I just read my post and it doesn’t make a hellava lot of sense…

Is anyone else amazed at how much Steve Slaton has dropped off?
7 carries for 3 yards
1 reception for 9 yards

Remember back in the ’05 Sugar Bowl about how everyone was going crazy about Slaton and talking about future Heisman?

OSU in the title game means Subcomandante Wayne….
……..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

321 — recruiting.

OU wins this game because they are the more physical team and they have enough speed to stick with Mizzou.
Actually, are there any other physical teams in the Big 12?

WVU’s not in the title game yet.

Pat white will never play a down of NFL football.

328..I know he went to So Miss..he was also a great baseball player..scratch golfer…basketball player

Ray Guy was a bad underrated MF.

Holy Crap Pitt!

WannStache!!! Bring it home my man, bring it home.

Nothing for nothing, Orson….know what I’m kinda trying to say…a little bit maybe?

In certain circumstances, there’s certainly nothing wrong with a little ..err…..“Man-love..” …..maybe for instance…ya know… ya got your Abe Lincoln, MacAuthor…George Patton, definitely…maybe Joe Namath and Bo Jackson…but you are kinda pushing it with the Verne Lundquist.

Brother, you look like you got a woody and a ffff—-aaa—-ggg ring on while you’re standing beside him…

Jesus man, the man is the color commentator for Figure Skating….control your impulses for God’s sake….

Fear the ’Stache!

So let’s review…

UCLA lost at home to Notre Dame.
Stanford lost at home to Notre Dame.
USC lost at home to Stanford.
Cal is down 10 with 10 minutes to play against Stanford.
Stanford, once again, lost at home to Notre Dame.

Why is the Pac-10 good again?

Oklahoma, once again, proving their susceptibility to the trick play. Tie game.

Nice call, Mizz-oo-ruh.

Wannstache won’t win tonight.

With Mizzou’s “10-in-the-box” defense, Malcom Kelly ought to have at least 12 80-yard touchdowns in the 2nd half.

WVU is showing very few signs of life right now.

So… tOSU-Georgia? Or LSU? Or VT? Hell, at this point, give Hawai’i a shot.

Wait, here comes Mizzou back again… never mind.

#345

Umm… The second place team in the SEC… A team that beat the crap out of Georgia… Got the crap beat out of them by a bunch of hippies that comprise the 7th place team in the Pac-10.

Maybe that is the problem???

WVU could easily lose this game, not that I think they can’t come back.

If Mizzou AND WVU lose, they shouldn’t stage a MNC and just let the voters annoint a champion.

Every team with a brainfart loss this season (I’m looking at you USC) has to be kicking themselves right now.

My understanding is that Georgia can’t be in the Natl. Championship because they didn’t win their conference.

The ’ol magic hand job, er, hankie job.

Mr Swindle,

You know owe me a dollar. Pleasure doing business with you.

Sincerely,

USC and ST

The officials just kept W Va title hopes aliv e. Whatg a BS call that was.

WOW! that was the worst holding call in the history of football. That could decide who plays for the National Championship game. It should be 17-7 Pitt. Unbelievable

That was one of the worst calls I have EVER seen. Pretty much bent Pitt over and pooped all over their upset plans. Son of a beeyotch!

The refs at Pitt-WVU may have just averted the endgame BCS chaos everyone’s so afraid of.

Yes, Georgia is out as per last year’s precedent that teams that don’t win their conference aren’t allowed in the title game anymore.

It’s just a good thing that Illinois weren’t still in the mix, because they already lost to Mizzou this year, and we all know that rematches aren’t allowed for the national title either.

Personally, I think there should be a 16 team play-off… The play-off would include 11 conference champs and 5 at large teams. If that should ever happen, the SEC could assume the ACC Basketball title of natural favorite in the tourney… Until then… Meh…

k00laid —

There is nothing which says someone has to win their conference to play for the National Championship game. In Fact it happened in the cases of both Nebraska and Oklahoma. Last Year Remember everyone was calling for Michigan to play Ohio State in the National Championship after just losing to them.

Stop this UGA can’t, by rule, play in the championship game baloney. The BCS met and specifically addressed this possibility after the OU debacle. They chose to NOT act.

There is no conference title requirement. Please stop this misinformation crap. NOW.

I do expect Gary Danielson to be lobbying against UGA very soon. If I remember correctly (oh I remember correctly), you can’t vote for a team that can’t win their own conference.

Verne, since you visit, make sure Gary is reminded of this will you?

How many times is Brent gonna say that you gotta go all in because they are in Texas ?

I love this one. In Rule 2, Section 7, Article 2, the guidelines state that, “a valid signal [of a fair catch] is a signal given by a player of Team B who has obviously signaled his intention by extending one hand only clearly above his head and waving that hand from side to side of his body more than once.”

Nice Friggin Catch Holmes!

Um, does Larry Fitzgerald still play for Pitt?
Great grab #14

363 -

That IS ringing a bell, now that you mention it.

“Fresh set of downs for the Steelers….”

When W Va comes back to squeak out the victory…will that official be named the star of the game for the ’Neers?

Well, Wannstache may win.

BTW, maybe it’s the backwards hat (never a good idea), but Chase Daniels reminds me of Rothlesberger.

Pitt’s running back is, dare I say it, “the real McCoy”

Bostick must have one of the ugliest games of any quarterback in recorded history. It hurts to watch him throw. But if he beats WFVU, he will be a legend. I just hope the Orange Bowl wouldn’t be stupid enough to take them. That would be a total clusterfuck in the stands.

I’m calling it now, no matter who wins the MNC game, there will be a split national championship. And I don’t know who will get the other share, but it will be split.

371

If Pitt wins, doesn’t WVa go to the Orange Bowl, as BE champs?

Nice try Pitt

How does Wannstache not go for it on 4th and goal there? I’d rather have 10 to 7 with the ball on the 1 foot line than 13 7 kicking off to decent WV field position.

“wasn’t even close”

spoke too soon

WVU didn’t convert the 4th down – WOW!. Pitt has to try to score and not just run out the clock. But, they keep on getting third and long – idiots. Try something other than running McCoy up the middle.

The Orange Bowl is no longer obligated to take the Big East champ and they don’t need to resurrect a nasty rivalry to sell tickets. It’s a big game no matter who’s in it.

This game was stolen. Period.

This is re-goddamn-diculous.

It’s official – someone told the refs to make it difficult for Pitt.

wtf ref.

Please – am I crazy or does someone want to make sure WVA wins?

Big East refs – brought to you by Juventus.

HOLDING!! oops, my bad. I thought is was my turn.

Question: If the non-conference champion disallowed for MNC is true, does that make LSU next in line?

We got a 4th and 17 interference call coming?

Hmmmmmmmm, if our conference champs win the last game, our league gets in the MNC. Officials, do your duty!

Sincerely,
Big East Commish

Kegger, it’s not true. But you would be right, unless VT jumps LSU.

MAO!

And the Buckeyes are in the championship game. It’s a good thing the Appalachian State loss killed my ability to feel pain.

Sigh.

MAO!

“I am so Happy!” Damnit – I wasn’t supposed to say that. now that cost us a personal foul. . . .

Excessive celebration there? This game is fixed!

This is bullshit! Pitt is getting cheated because the Big East wants the MNC game. Some one should be fired for this.

387 and 388:

Got it in one.

Assuming OK holds on, does anybody have an y idea who plays tOSU in New Orleans?

Holy Shit MAO MAO?

Dear Pitt Punter: That big white line on your left? It’s called the boundary. Kick the damn ball right over it. Thank you.

Excessive celebration call was complete bull, like both the holding calls. The refs in this game are worse than the Pac-10 officials. How many house payments are they trying to make?

Stagecoach67 – Hawaii?

No, I’m not serious. But if a two-loss team beats tOSU, and Hawaii beats someone competent in their bowl game…

Number 2 is out. . . . .

The Wannstache Strikes!!!

Voters will give it to LSU. A friggin home game for the national championship.

Somebody get Couch Burnin’ Girl off the ledge and hide the pills and knives.

Georgia vs Ohio State?

FUCK YOU WEST VIRGINIA

MAO!!!

Second year in a row a team is knocked out of the national title game by a 13-9 score.

Ha! Comment No. 216 comes true! If only I had wagered on this one.

Oh, and WVU… MAO!

Being ranked No. 2 just sucks this year.
