MAHALO-VERDRIVE: THE NIGHT SHIFT, UGA/HAWAII

This here’s the night shift, motherfuckers, so stand up to avoid blood clots and join us for the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. There’s no way Georgia won’t win this game! Their inevitability is biblical fact! Like Archduke Franz Ferdinand, no man can stop them! Not even Fran Tarkenton’s power mullet!
8:33: No anthem will equal the glory of the Banner as performed by a band called Bonerama. New Orleans, you lead into life dick-first.
8:43: Hawaii gets an instant advantage as the rainbow flags on the sideline will keep Georgia from putting their hands directly on Hawaii players, since that would be gay and gay catches like the influenza and the AIDS.
8:57: That’s the coolest fucking catch interference penalty we’ve ever seen. Did we say cool? We meant dirty. No, we meant totally fucking awesome.
9:03: Dennis Haysbert, we will drive however the fuck we want. We glom this attitude directly from Georgia’s rushing defense, who is driving however the fuck they want through Hawaii’s defense. A gimp-ankled Knowshon Moreno just scored a TD. Boy, this is gonna be a colonoscopy of a game.
9:12: From our attorney, concerning FOX’s overhead cam:
that skycam looks like Number 5 from Short Circuit
I wonder if Steve Gutenburg is running it
It has more personality than Thom Brennaman. That’s for sure.
9:37: Everything about this game sucks, unless you’re a Georgia fan: zero time for Brennan to throw, zero champizzle left in the fridge, zero hope that Georgia won’t just run the little Soulja-boy dancing turbobastard Knowshon Moreno when and wherever they please, and zero interest from the announcers, since Thom Brennaman is announcing the game with the verve and enthusiasm of a sedated zombie.
9:59: And Colt Brennan throws his first pick, and Hawaii is limpdicked and sinking, and this game never should have happened. To make things worse, Thom Brennaman isn’t even registering as someone speaking English anymore: his vocal cords thrum dully on, attempting to convey some information we can’t perceive through the thick fart-cloud of his narration. They mention that UGA gets his own crypt in Sanford Stadium, and he says “Let’s hope that’s a long way off.” Why did you even say this, Thom? What the fuck does this perform besides establishing that you are capable of the least in humane courtesy? Amuse us and say, “I bet that dog would eat the dead body of its owner, but only after a few days. It would definitely wait a few days.”
10:13: And just as Hawaii pulls off one good play, Jason Rivers gets to talk to his ancestors for a few minutes has he’s blasted from hell to breakfast by a Georgia defender. Georgia will make sure you get the picture by burning a picture of Queen Liliuokalani and giving the bagpipe to their collected girlfriends on the sidelines. WE GET IT YOU’RE BETTER PLEASE DON’T HURT THE MAGICAL FAIRIES OF HAWAII.
11:02: June Jones says Brennan’s had things open, but can’t hasn’t had the protection to see them. This means Hawaii’s done, done, done, and that Thom Brennaman’s somnambulent announcing, bad for baseball, will get even worse as Georgia’s defense tries to put the real spicy concussions on the Hawaii qb. If you see another post after this, be shocked, since this sucks like no one’s business and can’t possibly get any better.
(And of course Pete Carroll has his own little person. He speaks horse and can tell you have a fever just from the way your right eye looks a bit milky. He’s Pete Carroll, imbued with powers you cannot understand.)
We’re going to bed, and if you want to send a message to Fox, you should too. When Animals Attack is fine when it’s huge animals almost eating people; watching Georgia really try to kill Colt Brennan is just sick.

I’m starting to get nervous. These Hawai’i players appear to be insane. Those tribal tattoos are a bit much…
Did Fox just play “Who Let the Dogs out”? Horror of horrors.

Franz Ferdinand huh?
That reminds me of the time a few years ago when we spent New Years in Vienna and desperately sought out a place to watch some football as I suffered through an acute case of withdrawl. Managed to finda a bar and see most of the Cotton Bowl (Texas over LSU) and the Rose (OU/WSU) . Nice change of pace from 3 Opera/Symphony experiences in 7 days.
Oh and Fran Takenton?!?!? Uh…mmmm….That really is Incredible that they managed to excevate him for this. As per my prior complaint Herr Swindle, plz use you new influence to protect us from such horrors in the future.

I hate to admit it, but USC should probably have been in the MNC game. They are scary good. I think they would have hung half a hundred on whoever they played in a bowl.

That’s an ugly way to start the game. 2 penalties and a badly thrown pass. Hawaii looks unsettled.

The dawgs seem quite a bit larger than the Rainbow Warriors. Nice catch and run, then deliver the hit. AND a first down inside the 40.

have to say, Orson was classy about the Fla loss and being cool to Carr…and classy about Zook…as much as I am sick of USC, that was fun to watch…and somebody clue those fucking announcers in that it is “Glory, Glory to Ol’ GA”….NOT “Glory, Glory Halloluah”…honestly….

Mr Pelican Pants says:
Damn, this Georgia-Hawaii game will end up like the USC-Illinois game….matter of fact….Georgia vs USC would have been THE game….Michigan vs Mizzou would have been pretty good too…..Once Florida has the starpower on defense to match the starpower on offense, they will be contenders….but Georgia looms on the horizon as the team to beat next year in the SEC…Kudo’s to Michigan, thanks to Mike Hart, they didnt blow Fla completely off the field since Fla looked like they couldnt defend the run or the pass at any time….sheesh 600 yrds of offense droppped on ya

Hawaii is lucky Stafford couldn’t accurately complete a pass if his next beer depended on it. Otheriwise they’d be reall fucked.

A 3 man rush and that leaves 8 men to cover? Really, Charlie? Thanks for pointing out the painfully obvious. Which one of your spotters let you know that 8 men were covering?
How about this, Charlie? By using man coverage on the outside receivers with three men playing short, medium and deep zones, Georgia forces Colt to throw the ball into a tight space.
That’s how you analyze a game, you simpleton.

Everything about this game except Georgia is completely bush league.
Hey, Hawai’i, try playing some tough games on the road sometime. TCU’s been to Norman and Austin since 2005 (and won in Norman) and is headed to Baton Rouse, Arkansas, Columbus and back to Norman in years to come. Hawai’i played two 1-AA teams at home this year.
They are what we knew they were…
