IS THE DOOR OPEN?
Cause we’re bringing friends.

Tebow. Capital One Bowl. Incoherent, angry, blood covered blood updates blood. NOW NOW BLOOD NOW.
1:22: Rich Rodriguez gave ‘em the playbook. Florida’s defense looks like they studied for a Latin test and got the Cuneiform. Michigan 7-0, thanks to Chad Henne’s sudden excellence and Florida’s continuing inability to pressure the passer.
1:38 p.m.: A holding penalty is Florida’s best defensive play thus far: a three and out and suddenly we remember that Florida’s traditionally a slow starter under Meyer. Panic level: three coffees.
2:00 p.m.: Updates will be slow and spastic thanks to anger, emotion, and periodic reassurances to TCOAN that we’re not about to spear the television with the MacBook.
2:18 p.m.: Manningham is a damn beast, and Henne makes a brilliant call on the audible to a run. Florida’s defense is an atrocity as it’s been most of the season. We’re on a huge cup of coffee and a fruit tart and thinking about the champagne, not because we want to celebrate, but because we need the booze. Holy smoking hell.
2:22 p.m.: Don’t look now, but the surefire blowout of Virginia by Texas Tech is now a 16-7 Cav lead.
2:28 p.m.: Like Ladanian Tomlinson doesn’t have some lame shit on his system? Play artist Silkk The Shocker! Suck on that, Mr. Famous-I’ll-make-fun-of-a-bust-ass-broke-teenager!
2:39: Thank you, Mike Hart.
3:00: 
3:31: Rain of frogs. Bloody seas. Anything else? This is an astonishingly ill-prepared team. It’s as if, in addition to our existing problems in pass coverage, we’ve sprouted a new lack of discipline and special teams problems! Dead in the water and taking it on below the waterline. No idea what can be done here.
4:04: Much broken furniture later, Florida has taken trash-talking dwarf Mike Hart’s fumble back for a tying TD. Now on Henne to destroy the secondary again. Someone steal Hart’s fish!

4:38: We’ve been through all the stages today. All of them. And there’s still five minutes left in this goddamned cardiac event of a game. Pills. A hammer. Something. There is no balm in Gilead for what this game is doing to the soul.
END: Well played. Michigan is the better team today. It’s hard to complain when you can’t defend a post route, can’t protect your quarterback, can’t kick a field goal, can’t…can’t win. Salut, monsieur Carr. We raise a glass of bubbly to you. Now go fishing and leave our team alone, because you were 2-0 against Florida.
ps. Michigan looked fast. Like, Big Ten fast.

You have to hand it to Wolverine fans, nobody (but Vols) do a better “WTF?!” expression when their team screws up.

Why did Hart think the fumble was SO funny?
Why the hell is Michigan running a trick play with this much time left and while playing pretty well?
It’s sickening.

I’ve never seen a tackle-eligible screen before, UVA. I don’t know how you expected a lineman to score from the 19 with less than 30 seconds to play in the half, but it was funny to watch.

#46 – Actually, it’s quite gorgeous outside. There are some snow flurries right now, so we’ll have to throw a couple couches on the fire to keep warm.
Also, I’m getting a kick out of some of these UM fans on screen, especially that woman’s reaction after that intercepted flea flicker. That was probably my 2nd favorite UM fan expression ever, with 1st being the two girls crying uncontrollably after the OSU debacle this year.

Harris,
Michigan did the same thing earlier with Long (77), but it was incomplete because of a horrible pass by Henne.

A fumbled snap. I didn’t expect that. They should go with the QB sneak. Nothing good can come from a pass.

I’m surprised Michigan is ahead.

#73,
THey will be 5-1 after Arkansas loses which is a better record than any conference except the Sun Belt (1-0). Also, Ark is the SEC’s 4th or 5th best team, Mizzou is the Big 12’s #2.

#76 fotodog –
Yeah nice work on the justification on Arkansas. You SEC fans are so funny. Always have an excuse when one of your teams lose, like last year when the slow Big 10 beat Tennessee and Arkansas.
Arkansas is suddenly not worthy to play Mizzou after beating LSU a few weeks ago. LOL.
I want to hear more about how much better the SEC is and how much faster they are than everyone else. Tell me how a 4 loss Wisconsin and a 7 loss Colorado team actually got blown out worse than the final score showed. Please don’t let 2008 start without some illogical logic from the SEC.

Dear ABC/ESPN/Disney,
Shots of high school girls can potentially be great, but not when you focus on the tubby cheerleaders from some northern state during the lame half time show. Please correct this.

WTF? When Ark won a national championship in hoops in the 190’s we took it..they are a SEC team all way….
The Big 10 is fast..fast ..fast….feel better?
You are angry at something…probably going 0-3 today isn’t helping….
Mizzou played great and deserved to win!

It’s all about women’s basketball Doug. And archery. I am sure you are defending national champs in archery too. Don’t forget to bring that up. Oh wait, I think Vanderbilt got blown out in the national championships of curling. That means technically now they out of the SEC and are more of a SWC team.
Only the teams that win continue to be SEC I guess.
