THE ORANGE BOWL: THERE'S MAGIC THERE

KANSAS BCS ORANGE BOWL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GIMME A FUCKIN SIREN MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!

(the drinking commences in t-minus 30 minutes)

ZZ Top….REALLY? This is the best they could do?!? I mean wouldnt the band Kansas have been a way more appropriate and ironic choice?

You really have to shoot for the stars to compete against Eddie Money and Bonerama.

The video made me realize that I was on the wagon yesterday (in transit from NOLA), now its doubles for the rest of the night!

Cocktail hour has begun.

That video is like Carl Hiaasen’s book “Tourist Season” come to life!

What year is that? 1983?

If ZZTOP is there to represent the Midwest, then who is going to sing the Hockie-Pockie song?

Time for another…

I Prefer my naked women to be wearing nothin’ but heals and a smile, Thank you.

d’oh – heels.

Rich Rodriguez the Iguana Dept:

Regarding iguanas when it gets too cold, the raining iguana article states:

“Yero isn’t too fond of the comatose critters. They are exotics from Central and South America, brought in as pets and then released to the wilds by their owners when they got too big for the house.”

Sounds like a description of Coach Rodriguez leaving to Michigan when he got too big for West Virginia.

Do ya think Mangino had a couple of Cubans for lunch?

I’m not talking about the sammich.

You could always count on the Orange Bowl for those hideous but fascinating trainwreck Up With People spectacles. These days, I believe that group is known as the Polyphonic Spree.

South Beach Discrimination Dept:

For once, they ought to let a hetero, or even a metrosexual handle the half-time show at the Orange Bowel (mis-spelling on purpose).

1. Hussein: He probably had a couple of Cubans that had NOT recently come over to Florida on the boat. They would be too skinny and do not have enough dark meat. While, the ones that have been here, oh, I don’t know, 10 years? are just as fat as everyone else.

“Up, up with people they’re the best kind of folks we know…
If more people were FOR people….People everywhere….
There would be a lot less people to worry about…..
And a lot more people who care….

Whoa! I need to slow down.

Next, my rendition of “It’s a small world” after all.

Just because you don’t like this matchup, and just because you don’t like anything in particular, does not mean that ZZTop don’t bring it.. You got some big “cool factor” issues when you slag on the TOP.
You probably want the Thompson Twins fer crisakes!
-dh

I’m not sure whether to think ZZ Top is an improvement or a step down from the infamous Ashlee Simpson halftime at the Orange Bowl. A step up musically, but a huge step down in the hilarity of the thunderous booing that she received.

How about they resurrect Up With People for one of these halftimes? They can have Bonerama play with them.

The question for this Orange bowl is which ZZ Top shows up:
“Tv dinners” and “I’m bad, I’m nationwide” ZZ or the “Viva las Vegas” and “Sleeping bag” Top.

East Germans Dept:

How about a Orange Bowel half time show brought to you by EDSBS starring:

RAMSCHTEINE, or however its spelled.

perhaps ZZ top will sing about the dancingest hemisphere, the Western Hemisphere.

Oh come on, don’t be bashin’ on ZZ Top. They fuckin’ rock.

I wonder if ZZ Top will dedicate “Cheap Sunglasses” to Mark Mangino….I’ve always felt that ZZ Top was an Islam rock band, with their scraggly middle eastern beards and all……stumbling through the parking lot of an invisible 7-11……

scalz1,
You schooled me……..
-dh

All these FOX broadcasts remind me of DUI school.

I hope I can make it through the last one…

Lou Holtz just guaranteed that this will be a great game…

We’re screwed.

Lou Holthz guaranteed a tOSU victory based on Michigans performance against Florida….saying that the tOSU has a better defense that what LSU is used to and a better offense than Florida, which almost beat them, had, and since tOSU beat Michigan, it will be a a blowout and LSU shouldnt be in the game….Mark May looked like he was gonna kill a lil old frail white man…..

1. 23 Mark May is too busy tossing Pete Carroll’s salad to listen to anything Lou Holth has to say

I cant believe this is a BCS game… Kudos for automatic bids

Lou knows football.

I made it 1:52 into that video before I threw my laptop against the wall. Do I win? ZZ Top wasn’t very cool when they were cool. Why do they insist on bringing back so-so bands? Give me…um, yeah, every band I think of has a dead member which ruins the vibe. ZZ Top it is.

Entertainment coordinators for the Super Bowl and bowl games must all be 62 year old white men.

They are like Pete Carroll. Think they are cool and hip but everyone calls them jokers behind their backs.

bnb,

The problem with the halftime shows is that they are catering to the lowest common denomenator. So either you get horrendous pop acts that please the kids and the parents find acceptable or you get nostalgic shit like McCartney (who I happen to like) or ZZ Top.

Nobody calls Pete Carroll a joker behind his back. They usually do it in front of him, and everyone has a good laugh, even Carroll.

A bit jealous ‘bnb614’ of the top dog of college footbaw?

OK then..
Green Day it is then….jeez
-dh

Was that a return of the Oompa Loompa doing the interview with Beamer? That’s gotta be the orangest face I’ve seen in a while.

I think Jimmy Johnson got a hard-on looking at McPhee…

When I was a youth, I used to really look forward to the Orange Bowl halftime show. Maybe it has gone downhill?

Nah. At the time, I also never missed an episode of “The A-Team” or “Simon & Simon”. I just must have had really awful taste.

Oh, and after all the orangeness we need to start circulating a petition:

“We, the menfolk of America, do hereby notify the womenfolk of America that the combination of straw-colored hair (with visible dark roots) and orange skin is not terribly appealing.”

If you’ve got naturally dark hair and fair skin, keep them. The combination usually works very well indeed, if you ask me—and I believe somebody was just about to.

A bit jealous ‘bnb614? of the top dog of college footbaw?

Who is that out in California? Jim Harbaugh?

Top dog. Oh that is funny.

I don’t see this thread getting more than 100 posts.

What else is on tonight?

When they painted the FedEx logo at the middle of the field, does anyone know why they didn’t use the big one?

What’s with the red Unis for the Jayhawks? Is that a semi-normal thing?

PW, there is nothing else on tonight, so we might have a chance to get to 100 posts. Don’t want to let Orson down.

Where’s Annapolis Doug? Did he have to run out and restock on screwdriver supplies? Or did the debt collectors from his bookies show up?

Just got back from Happy Hour …thank goodness I didn’t get home in time to take the Jayhawks! When you don’t get your bet in, you root against it!

Stickin to beer as I passed out last night in the kitchen.

I keep rooting for the wolves…

Blog Goliard, I’d say you have quite fine tastes…as long as you didn’t skip Knight Rider.

If Ohio State-LSU goes OVER and Ron Paul wins the presidential election in November, I’m only down the ‘juice’ to my bookie.

Ron Paul, the candidate for people with Asperger’s. Good luck with that.

PW, baconboy…is nottheQB in the house?

He’s probably still celebrating that he didn’t get stuck with Les Miles…I’m convinced he’s gonna do something crazy Monday that backfires (like fake a punt out of his own endzone or try a drop kick in ot)

A Doug

Gimme a score on this game.
VT 24 KU 13?

Help settle a drunken New Year’s argument as the midget Todd Reising carves up VT.

Batman: Superhero or not? I say no. No super powers. Just gadgets and a gay boyfriend.

Mangino on a stick…I don’t know what to say.

I nailed last night’s game..of course with the wrong winner…

I saw Va Tech in person one time this year. In Baton Rouge.

KU 27 VaT 23

Doug,

Im here – just poured a Jack and Coke that I was getting ready to pour out in your honor..I figured you’d be floating in Chesapeake Bay by now….Are you able to type without functioning thumbs?

And yes, I’m still thrilled that we will be without Miles this fall…it will make laughing at his batshit craziness that much more fulfilling Monday night.

Batman is not a superhero, he’s a scientist.

And I’m rooting for KU to win just so I can see them attempt to carry Mangino off the field.

I so wish Todd’s name was Jake.

You can’t high step?

Does anyone know what’s it’s like to pass out in the kitchen…with 1/2 your monthly salary on OKlahoma…only to wake up to a RENO 911 repeat at 4:07 AM….wondering wtf happened in the game….

then going upstairs to bed and turning on the TV- waiting for the ESPN score crawl but they are showing the KY-FSU replay with no crawler and switching to ESPN2 and waiting for 9 minutes while NFL matchups are just starting on the crawl..then seeing WVA 90 OK 15 and trying to go back to sleep but can’t fall asleep again so you wait up until 5:00 AM so you can catch the Girls Gone Wild Commercial but it’s not on?

Let me tell you it sucks.

55

You were in a Stooper.

Not as bad as it’s going to suck for that kid who just high stepped it into the endzone. Mangino, as I recall, doesn’t like this and I think he was just threatening to serve the kid up for breakfast if he did that again.

Hey, I don’t find the announcing offensive. WTF?!

NOTQB…Jack and Coke….must be living down South somewhere…Next time I score a TD in the Orange Bowl, I’m high stepping like the Florida A&M band leader at halftime.

If I went to either school, I’d sell my ticket (probably for face) and go the the Clevelander and stare at the girls with fake tits.

I wish I could fall asleep to this game.

Can’t believe I forgot Sean Glennon was VT’s QB. Ask Georgia fans how generous he is with bowl game turnovers.

AD,

Iowa Caucus results so far don’t speak so well to your Ron Paul bet:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/vote2008/primaries/states/iowa_results_1-3.html

When you’re down as much as I am, I couldn’t go with the chalk.

Sadly, Va Tech is not clear on which team to throw to.

Oh well, we’ll always have Arrowhead on Nov. 24, where Todd Reesing was given a lawn-job.

Doug,

I’m just glad I’m still in DC, not in Michigan (where I’m from – hometown is under 2 feet of snow today)

Be glad you didn’t have to watch the game last night then..if I had money on OU I would have been tying the noose by 10 PM.

Muschamp’s going to Texas, apparently.

This game is DULL. Can we force each team to play 9 defenders in the second half?

How did Fox manage to scare up a competent announcing crew?

Here’s a thought: Kansas drop kicks Tech in the second half to finish 12-1. Meanwhile, LSU squeaks by tOSU to finish 12-2. Who gets the MNC?

I just lost my shit at that southwest commercial. Finally some entertainment.

67

I wouldn’t be opposed to a KU AP National Championship.
(ducks tomatoes thrown by UGA and USC fans)

Paul has 10% of the “vote.” That’s incredible. He is in the same neighborhood as Thompson, McCain, and the 9/11 Candidate.

Just doing my part to get to a hundred posts.

Hokies may just enough plays to make you think they have a chance… freaking teases.

Ron Paul 2008. …It’s the ‘FU Mr. Bookie’ Vote.

If OSU and LSU flop (like these 2 teams)…I would have to say that the BCS voters should just not vote…

it would be like in Spinal Tap…When the drummer died in a gardening accident so bizzare, the police decided that his death should go uninvestigated.

Some one get Moose’s field-boundary analysis to Charlie Davis. That’s how you analyze, you simpleton.

Nice pass from Reisling for the score.

I only care about cans of anchovies and stuffy songs about the buttocks.

Wow… this game is turning into a one-sided ass-kicking by Mangino’s crew.
good defense, moving the ball well.

great excuse to avoid politics.

The rain made Mangino’s hide soft and wet – he’s happy!

The KU cheerleaders are much hotter than than VaTech’s.

The announcers’ have been told that if they EVER stop talking their children – kidnapped earlier in the day – will forfeit their lives.

I pray that KU wins, just to see the players “attempt” to hoist Mangino on their shoulders. Sweet.

Kansas doesn’t look athletic, but they look well-coached. God forbid Mangino ever recruiting talent.

Mouse That Roared Dept:

1. & #38: bnb614: You are complaining about my material?! Fed-Ex?!

I’m more stunned by the number of votes on the Democratic side. Are those precincts or individuals? I’d hate to think that they’ve spent all of that effort for 400 votes. Hell, we get more people voting than that for school board elections in Dallas.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/vote2008/primaries/states/iowa_results_1-3.html

The USC receiver did a FLIP into the endzone w/o a penalty. The ku kid gets called for highstepping. the announcers say “they’ve really been watching that.” Nice.

Martinis here in the buckeye state.

@79 – you have any idea how long it takes people in Iowa to count anything but hogs?

does it matter? After Iowa, Hillary’s people are going to tell her to replace her head with Bobby Petrino’s, which she’ll freely do to win the electiion. One slut for another, what’s the difference.

Grass is green, sky is blue, ACC football sucks

Kansas coach looks like my prom date.

Put a corsage on him and I might put on my brown tux for old times sake.

#80: Um, the USC kid received not only a penalty, but also a browbeating from Doug Flutie.

1. - bevo: If you want to get to 100 posts, just bring up something like the following:

1) Notre Dame will be back next year (a bunch of us would be on that like ugly on gorilla)

2) SEC speed is a myth

3) Auburn is way better than ’Bama

4) Where are the pictures of the babes with big, shiny butts

Answered my own question…it’s delegates on the Dem side and individuals on the Rep. side.

This game is boring, but we are going to get close to 100 posts before halftime, so we’ll have done our job.

And, of course, the halftime show should provide lots of good posts.

What’s the Over/Under on “Hernias” if they try and carry Mangino off the field?

85

I think the Mangino fat joke thing might be just what the doctor ordered.

1. - SKLM

We’re gonna wake up to a smoking crater where this thread used to be.

What sick bastards watch the Orange Bowl halftime show? Is that what you’re implying?

yeegad.

If one person brings up SEC speed or Big 10 vs SEC, I’m switching to vodka.

Oh what the hell..you just did…..Making myself a 64 oz whire russian! (something you can’t drink in public).

Doug,

We’ve got a show just for you…

http://www.aetv.com/intervention/

83,
Okay, it’s time to stop drinking.

85,
Or summon Mr. Pelican Pants.

Since it’s FOX, you know we are getting Carrie Underwood at halftime with 47 American Idol commercials.

Re: 37

What the hell was I thinking?

Stop drinking???? You’re watching this sober?

Who has problems?

Notre Dame has the # 1 recruiting class in the nation and the schematic advantage provided by slender Charlie Weis will enable them to win at least 9 games and secure a well deserved spot in the BCS, perhaps even in the Rose Bowl as a tribute to the 4 Horsemen.

Was Gurn serious about the Muschamp to Texas thing?

Someone call Gurn. Nevermind, I’ll do it….(clears throat)

AUBURN SUCKS A FAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!111

I had a pint of Sam Smith’s Ale, but I’m not drunk enough to confuse Mangino for my prom date.

You’ve never seen my prom date.

Doesn’t it seem like this country is trying a little too hard with its beer? Every commercial goes above and beyond to prove how amazingly hand-crafted or something-else aged or pored over by a 70 year old man in a wooden shed somewhere in a New England village, as if each bottle of whatever fake microbrew you’re drinking right now was hand crafted from a single block of spruce. It’s beer. It gets you drunk and tingles a little. Good enough.

This game is clearly thrilling me.

17-7, didn’t use a singe timeout, Mangino needs a snack, and screw this watching the halftime show crap.

I wonder if Jackie Gleason is in his family tree…..

ZZ Top?

Was REO Speedwagon busy?

(post 101)

Here’s the info on Muschamp to Austin

http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/longhorns/entries/2008/01/03/muschamp_in_aus.html

hmm..Auburn or Austin…I know which one I would pick

Flipped over to the ’Nova – DePaul game while Fox bores us with another 2 minute commercial block.

“Pam Ward” compared to the Iowa caucus and the presidential primary season to teams playing OOC and conference season. Wow! Mark May should cut her mike.

Best Post of the Day:

1. - Kansas coach looking like prom date.

Oh ….have not stopped laughing….

…man, what an awful mental picture.

Annapolis Doug continues his domination of this EDSBS’ site bowl season blogfoolery…..

Muschamp to Texas rumors here

www.burntorangenation.com

@101 – you can only drink so much shitty beer before you want something better out of life, man.

Doug,

I’ve been on White Russians all week with homemade Kahlua…but ran out of Vodka last night and almost had a diabetic fit with all the Kahlua…hence the Jack tonight.

I’m so old I remember when women looked like ZZ Top when they pulled their underwear off.

I don’t miss that a bit.

marcillac: Notre Dame #1 class? One 500 star defensive lineman just “decommitted” from ND and will probably end up with the Gators. This will cause Charlie to get off his prepared meals and back to cheeseburgers, will ensure another losing season. But, with a revised BCS system, they might just make a game, since they will get the exception for a losing team being allowed in the games.

PW —

SIX.

Take it deep and gag.

I think I just saw a rat crawl out of his beard…

This is me scraping the bong.

This half-time show brought to you by AARP and Viagra.

Nice. Now it is so rare, it’s a fetish.

Man, pseudo excited fans running across the field, meant to look spur of the moment, then jumping around and dancing in front of the stage. 10,000 points for originality. Where do they come up with this stuff?

The linked article says Muschamp was a walk-on, but I am pretty sure that he was on scholarship or was by the end of his career at UGA. I know he was a starter (and a good guy).
Also, several of the coaches on Goff’s staff are or were on Texas’ staff- Mac McWhorter for one and if Greg Davis is still there, then him.
Frankly, I would love to see Muschamp leave Auburn… and any of UGA’s rivals.

Am I really watching ZZ Top? I thought they were dead.

@116 – hey Janet Jackson screwed it up for everybody.

ER is starting!

Hey Gurn.

So…does Muschamp stay or go? If I were him I’d stay put, then bolt next year for some higher profile job.

Iowa

Hillary “Stand by your man” Clinton lost…. To Barracks Osama….

… How can he beat Hillary in a State that has little or no Blacks? I guess people really hate Billary’s guts.

Well I’ll be damned. The Jayhawk trash might actually pull it out after all.

Hillary is not that popular on the interwebs.

They continue to promo this haltime show as a “very special performance” from ZZ Top. I think they mean “special,” as in “retarded”

I do not think Hillary is popular even with Bill. He has to get his poontang elsewhere.

Why all the negativity towards ZZ Top? Would you clowns prefer some metrosexual dolled up with too much hair gel or a blinged-out thug rapping about how many cars he owns? Give me Da Beards any day of the week.

Cartman’s fighting hippies on on Comedy Central.

It beats septuagenarian rock on Fox.

He’s gone.

My only guess is that he really doesn’t like to recruit and maybe he won’t have to in Austin.

Other than that, I don’t know why. Hate it, though.

what the hell just happened on fox? I got a picture of a shoe for about 30 seconds with some comment “is that a member of one of the bands”

WTF?

1. gigling

1. homemade Kahlua? If I knew how to make that I’d make Liz Lohan look like Bob Tebow.

Bill has been fastidious about sleeping elsewhere (preferably on another continent) for almost 7 years.

Also, even people that don’t necessarily hate Hillary don’t like the idea of the White House going Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton.

#129
looked like somebody took a digger on the field.
maybe the cameraman had to help.

@129 – clearly the producer was assasinated and replaced mid-bowl game by someone more Nikelike.

Tom: I think ZZ Top is too old school for today’s younger audience.

Does Fox have ANY hot sideline reporters??

The ACC does suck, but the 2nd half should be interesting. If VaTech stops fucking up, this could be interesting.

One good quote from the first half:

How much do you think not having Ore hurt VaTech?

Not at all.

Nice.

Mangino reminds me of one of those guys you read about who needs the wall cut off his house so he can be carted on a flat bed to a local hospital.

1. most of the Fox crew took Doug’s advice and split for the Clevelander at halftime

#126
No.
But could I watched the gelled-up boy band, thugged-up rapper and drugged-up Billy Gibbons fight to the death? That would be better.

When I want to last longer, I think of Hillary’s face. Beats thinking about baseball.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2GVHkkgK9F4

Watch and enjoy.

Funny..I started the politics talk with post #44 where I have Ron Paul at +3000 for $100

I’m cold ‘texting’ old girlfriends with mass messages-

“I miss you” to about 7 different fat girls….I’ve gotten no replies.

Any ideas for Rum? I’m thinking pineapple, OJ and ….a Mount Gay float….(whoever named it Mt. Gay should be fired).

SKLM, you could just take your hand off and that would work just as well…

(couldn’t resist)

Doug: I think if you write the fat chicks:

“I miss your loins” …. that might work!

Bacon: That was funny!

139,
That sounds quite entertaining. I’d put my money on Billy in a landslide.

Hillary’s been a passionate Cubs…er…Yankees fan her entire life.

Did something interesting just happen on the football game???

Bacon- I swear I was thinking the same thing…It was a punt…then I thought I heard ‘2 flags down’…next thing is a commercial….WTF?

I think the only thing Hillary is passionate about is Madeline Allbright, or Rosy O’Donnell or Mangino in a Prom Dress….

Indeed, Tom. Quality entertainment.
Speaking of which, I hate to piss on this fine thread, what with the politics, desparate drunkeness and what-not – but the game just got interesting. Okay, interesting-ish.

1. I did that and a girl just texted me back- “drunk again???”

You can’t make that up….

baconboy
+1

and it’s Jeanie Zelasko, so no big loss if she isn’t on

1. is right.

Let’s get back to the game….This is getting better.

I can’t stand Hokie football. It’s like watching fucking paint dry. Their total lack of interest in offense makes Mike Leach cry. Who makes a pirate cry?

Did you just see #49 body slam KU’s QB?!

I think that was a sou-plex.

Sorry to get off the game and I don’t mean to be cruel but did Frank Beamer ever visit the San Francisco Zoo when he was young?

You’d think at least one of these teams in these bowls would have a power running game and win a national title with it. Most of these teams are losing games because they can’t run the ball worth a shit.

There is a football game? !#! gotta go…

….hope Annapolis doug doesn’t pass out before the end of the game…..

1. 156 he treated Reesing like a Real Doll. Don’t judge me.

Orange Bowl Half Time
Ok as a kid my dad coached football. Yes I can throw a spiral that is definitely catch able, and I can tackle any 200 lb lineman if I have too. I watched more football films on the wall in our garage than any high school girl could care to. I know play in play books and never ran on of them. All I know is if they wanted to date me they ended up running extra laps at practice. Dad meant business.

I have to say I was disappointed with the Orange Bowl tonight…:namespace prefix = o ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” />

When I was young my dad used to wake us up around ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />10 pm to get up and watch the Orange Bowl half time show. REALLY!! We’d go to bed at 8 pm and he’d rally all 4 (at the time, there is now 6 ) of us at 10 to watch the half time and then put us back in bed.

Well what a disappointment tonight was. I was on the computer and my hubby came in and said…it is half time what did your dad used to do? I said wake us up for the half time show… and so I went out to the couch curled up in his chest and began to watch the commercials… YES a million commercials. Then ZZ Top played “sharp dressed man.” AND MORE COMMERCIALS!!!! Fox should be ashamed. Really. My dad who coached and loved football looked forward to every year waking us kids up to watch the half time show which today has turned to nothing but commercials. I was MAJOR disappointed.

Where are the fireworks? and ZZ Top??? Where have they been the last ummmmm 20 years?

Commercials….lord help us.

Karen

Trojan,

You must really have enjoyed Virgina’s glorious season then. Fairly happy ending for the Pac 10 in the bowl (well, except for FUCLA, but then again that’s part of the happy ending). Even my Bears showed a trace of life.

Rumor has it that Hillary is having her affair with her personal assistant, who is pretty hot… Of course, we know who wears the strap-on.

http://www.zimbio.com/Huma+Abedin/pictures/2/Huma+Abedin+Pictures

I counted 6 players who touched that pass!

Yeh baconboy. I’ve heard that. Too good to be true (and so is this Scotch – cheers to the old country Trojan – superb stuff).

Even thought that was a 47 yd completion, V Tech’s quarterback still is not good. How does KU not intercept that?

It’s getting late so if you are tired and need to go to bed…see post #50 and sleep well…

Why would Muschamp leave Auburn? $1.6 million for 3 years and the promise (1 cocktail to FSU and Jimbo Fisher) of being Mack Brown’s successor.

Shit…we went with 151’s advise and everyone left!

I just got my second wind!

True story..I fell asleep (passed out) with 6 minutes to go in the OK-Boise State game last year.

Hey Annapolis Doug-

Ever wonder what it’s ike to “wake up” instead of “come to”?

Anyone know what goes in a rum runner?

Mangino may be my new favorite person associated with the our glorious sport of college football. According to the Wik, he was punished by the Kansas High School Athletic Assoc. for verbally berating high school referees at his son’s Lawrence High School game. Imagining a prominent and gargantuan college coach verbally abuse a high school ref brings a smile to my face.

Marcillac @ 162: Virginia’s easier to ignore locally; the alumni tend towards the license plate frame on the 3-series BMW over the 2 foot high turkey on a Suburban.

And you’re right, no complaints about the PAC-10’s results. That Riley kid has potential for Cal.

As for HRC and her aide, if ti’s true then all I can say is lucky Hillary – Huma Abedin is muy caliente.

It’s okay, AD. I’ve passed before the end of plenty of games, including those I’ve attended. Including some I meant to attend but never made it into the stands. OR DID I????

rum runner recipe:

http://www.drinkstreet.com/searchresults.cgi?drinkid=192&drinkname=category:22

this game needs more commercials. that’s it.

Thanks Bacon..but..

even Dean Martin never carried Banana Liquor.

Don’t sleep on whisky sours..they are next.

Did they just sneak in a commercial between plays? Hope that’s not a new trend.

a simple rum and coke won’t do?

To a real drunk …a rum and coke is like missionary position to Jenna Jamison.

I need something different.

Kansas is better than I thought…hats off to their QB..

Seriously, how does a team waste a BCS level defense with a MAC level offense like Va Tech?…

Wait, that’s not fair…CMU and Ball State have MUCH better offenses than VT. Mediocre MAC team.

Neither of these teams belong here….Mizzou instead of Kansas, and…..eff it, the ACC should give up their bid or like play Clemson’s offense with Va Tech’s defense or something…I mean, the #2 ACC team barely beat Sparty, who finished like 7th in an admittedly down Big Ten.

great fake!!

When is the last time a fake punt- Didn’t work?

fake punt! Mangino is my new hero – but what the fuck is his huge head doing on the screen AAAAAAIAIAIAIIAIAGH

That’s a life-size picture of Mangino’s face on that stick.

162 – Wasn’t this supposed to be the year that Tedford went to a BCS game? Not sure how a guy keeps the genius label when he has a losing record vs. Karl Dorrell

He was down, he was laying on his ass when that ball came out. Then we don’t see anything to indicate a personal foul.

Can I see a replay of these game changing fouls and fumbles?

Yeah, that’d be coverage of the game. All these games have been the same, no replays on penalties, crowd shots, coach shots, big heads on sticks shots.

This production sucks shit.

well the producers rolled the dice on showing ball or crowd shots and I guess crowd shots won. Just please stop showing goiterboy

Yeh Trojan,

V-Tech fans can be subtle that way (lived in DC for about 18 months in 95-96)

Our offense should be excellent if Jahvid Best doesn’t need a hip replacement or something (possible) and DeSean Jackson comes back (unlikely).

You guys should be insanely good assuming some level of competence from Sanchez/Mustain and an IQ (injury quotient) somwhere below Einsteins’s.

Really must recomend this Glenfarclas 17 Year Old. Want to pour myself another double but the wife is giving me very dirty looks and I have to be at work by 9:20.

commercials, commercials, and more commercials.

they need to find people who actually enjoy football to run this shit, maybe we’d get some focus on the game once in a while.

Don’t show the replay of the ‘mistaken’ penalty that was thrown…cut to a commercial without even a “we’ll be right back”

You’re right…ESPN as mush as I hate them would be better with Ron Franklin

I’d give $100 if Gus Johnson was doing the NC game Monday Night

Doug,

Sorry got distracted – homemade kahlua = cheap brandy, coffee, sugar, water – WAY too sweet for my liking tonight..it’s been all jack and cherry cokes tonight.

you wouldn’t want to pass out face down with that sunofabitch sven living in your ass, would you, wakin’ up in the morning with a sore ass.

If I were elected president, I’d focus all research on developing a smart disease that would kill all the lawyers and marketing people on the country. It’d save the planet and football all at the same time.

this coverage is really pissing me off.

I’m dreading this Fox crap for the MNC game. I’ve actually got a dog in that hunt.

er, sven living in your house. maybe your ass if you drank a lot all the time.

fuck it, i think i’ll have a guiness.

This is no Michigan_florida game…but to those who left it……it’s heating up!

Why doesn’t KU mix in the occasional run?

corn -

whenever i get pissed about bad commercials, this always makes me feel better:

Fox’s contract for the BCS is $80 million for 4 years, which means they need to sell $20 million a year in commercials just to break even. It appears that we are bearing the brunt of that contract, both in the number of commercials and the crappy announcing talent.

Reesing has continued to impress me all night. I don’t know how the hell he got up after that last hit—you could see it coming . . . BOOM. And can somebody help me try and find a black KU fan in the stands with me?

Sorry, I was playing Rock Star. What did I miss?

NotQB- enjoy your DC stay..I know some places to go there…have no idea if you are 22 or 62 though…If you need any hints, let me know…

I’ll be on Monday Night dreading all the Big 10 vs SEC hate….we all love college football…we all get defensive about our schools but in the end- it’s our favorite sport..

Favorite college girls I’ve seen in Bowl season-
1. Mizzou
2. Georgia

God I love college girls.

Corn,
A lawyer joke? Wow. Quite original. I hope you need a lawyer one day and remember your hatred of them, so that your very own Sven can pound you in the ass after you drop the soap.

thanks, notthequarterback. hell, i’ll use that in a post tomorrow…

i don’t even like guiness all that much, but my neighbor didn’t drink the ones i bought him for new year’s so… it’s still beer you just have to chew through it.

picked off…..

Wow, there is some seriously bad throws in this game. Now KU just scored. Close but good, not a great, but good game.

Fotodog, why would a UGA fan want Muschamp to leave Auburn?

Muschamp vs UGA
2003: LSU 17, UGA 10
2004: LSU 16, UGA 45
2006: AU 15, UGA 37
2007: AU 20, UGA 45

I won’t know if he’s gone or not until the smoke settles in the morning. This rumor pattern is the same as CTT to Arkansas.

199,

He took the black fan from Nebraska swing dancing tonight. She really likes it.

What did you miss?

Someone splashed a link to a Rupert Murdoch backed paper regarding a presidential candidate’s sexual preference.

Fox’s Jumper shot sucks.

Lot’s of people are hitting the hooch.

Oh yeah, Kansas’ special team dropped a hot load over Beamer’s genius special team.

Did I miss anything?

fotodog, that’s pretty damned funny…..

Need a lawyer? Damn…. what is it about law school that causes all you sunsabitches to lose your sense of humor? Do they beat the hell out of you guys that badly? It’s the writing that’s required isn’t it?

KU up on turnovers up on scores. No penalties, what’s up with that?

Marcillac @ 188 – I’ve got a couple of bottles of single malt that are finally nearly finished, but I think the Glenfarclas might not be in the hooch budget for this month. Will file that away for future reference though.

As for wives and discouraging second drinks, whatever. 9.20 is a start time for a civilized individual; I say drink up.

AZTiger,

I think Will is pretty good and want him to succeed, but not at AU.

202

C’mon, who doesn’t enjoy a good lawyer joke?

As a Georgia fan, I am oh-so-curious why the pollsters continue to insist upon ranking Virginia Tech ahead of my team. Complete second-half meltdown in the Chick-fil-A bowl? OMG, stick ’em in the Top 10! Boring-ass win in front of 2K people for the ACC crown? OMG, barely missing the national championship game! And on and on.

Here is what Virginia Tech is: aggressive defense, aggressive special teams, rancid offense. And as much as the pollsters seem enamored with the Lunchpail/Beamerball crap, only a defense up to the standard of, say, the Iron Dukes would be able to mask what the Hokies just can’t do on the other side of the ball (as in, move it).

This team is THE very definition of “#15.” Even this season. So once KU wins this game, please, please, PLEASE resist the urge to somehow make VT into your primary national title contender next year on the basis of, uh, blue-collar mentality or whatever.

DC Trojan – If your budget is tight, I suggest Isle of Jura 10 year old. Best single malt for the buck.

When I have a little extra in the hooch budget, I go for the Oban.

Do not, I repeat, do not get sucked into buying vatted malt. F**** marketers.

Trojan,

Have been drinking that double for the past half hour but I think I’ve had too much. I’m obviously plastered since I think I’m watchin a competative game (in the BCS?!?!?). WTF?!?

A lawyer and a bartender had been stranded on a deserted island for almost a month. The only other thing on the island was a tall coconut tree, which provided their food. Each day, one of the men climbed to the top of the tree to see if he could see a boat coming. One day, the lawyer yelled down from the tree, “I can’t believe my eyes. There’s a girl out there floating in our direction.” Skeptical, the bartender said, “Come back down out of the tree, I think you’re hallucinating.”

After that, the lawyer reluctantly climbed down the tree. But sure enough, within a few minutes, up to their beach floated a naked blonde woman, face up, and totally unconscious. The two men went over to her and discovered that she was alive. The bartender said, “You know, we’ve been on this island for a while now without a woman. It’s been a long time. Do you think we should, you know, screw her?”

The lawyer glanced down at the totally naked woman and asked, “Out of what?”

Bevo, solid choices both. I saw the sunlit highlands when a friend got his PhD and his sisters went in on a bottle of Macallan that must have been at least 30 years old… that was smoooooth.

Touche214. Well played.

Doug,

I’m 28 and I’ve lived here a few times, but always open to suggestions.

And I won’t talk trash about anyone Monday, just want to see a good game. And maybe more YouTubable Les Miles moments.

DC Trojan – When (if?) I finish my PhD, some one will get me a nice gift like 30 year old single malt.

Doug, if Kansas scores a field goal here, you prediction at post 37 won’t be too far off. Too bad you didn’t get in touch with your bookie in time.

Bevo, I abandoned the PhD ship in my fifth year, no 30 year old single malt for me. I thought that getting a “proper job” would mean I might be able to afford my own damn fine fine malts, but it turns out that spawning brings ongoing (increasing?) costs.

back to the game for a second: not a bad series here for Kansas. Does this mean they aren’t light-weights or has VA Tech flattered to deceive once again?

I was lookin forward to a pre-sleep masturbation, and then fox had to keep showin the same KU cheerleader and color guard girls, makin muh penis all soft…

Kansas should have scored one last time for spite.

and that’s it. KU wins a game few gave them a chance to win. KU wins their BCS bowl, Mizzou blows out Arkansas, and Oklahoma shits themselves.

all I can say is…

let the mangino eat…..

There’s not enough Gatorade in the world to give Mangino a bath with it.

FUCK.

I expect Mangino to start crying during his interview since returning home means he will no longer be able to clear out Joe’s Stone Crabs of its stock on a nightly basis.

Will Mangino celebrate by eating all the oranges in the orange bowl trophy like a hungry hungry hippo?

I’ve got a total mancrush on MANgino. Is there anything wrong with that? Beautiful acceptance speech.

Mangino’s handlers kept the players from dousing him with Gatorade so he wouldn’t have a fucking heart attack!

Thom Brennaman: There’s a large dead man on the field.

Yeah, Kansas loses some points by having some fascist dudes keep the Mangino from getting doused.

give me a break. they didn’t douse him because it’s a waste of time. He would have simply absorbed all the liquid, blowing up bigger like that Blueberry girl in Willy Wonka.

Hell, you’ve never seen that happen?

you know what that game needed? more shots of the band and the flag girls dancing. and maybe more discussion of team dynamics, while completely disregarding the play on the field.

How does Kansas winning confirm that they should be there? They lost to Missouri, and the Tigers’ bowl performance certainly looked like that of a BCS worthy team.

VT had to get in because they won the ACC. Their loss just confirms their real identity is the team that struggled with East Carolina and was demolished by LSU. People seem to forget how bad they looked before conference play kicked in. The sorry showing by the ACC in the bowls just confirms the conference’s status near the bottom of the BCS pecking order.

I could give a shit less about KU, but I say they have about as much a claim to the MNC as anybody else at this point.

Mangino’s handlers kept him from getting Gatorade’ed because they wanted to spare the country the sight of Mangino licking it off like some mangy fat feline on crack.

Did anyone make it thru the orange bowl video?

be sure to scroll to the last couple of minutes for classic paul mcquire. he was just as good back in ’87!

Did Someone say MAGIC? How about WVU’s MAGICAL VICTORY!!!!

Mangino didn’t want to ruin his velour suit under his rain coat.
