Oregon – Utah St. at 12:30, Cal – Wazzu at 3:30, then UFC at 6:30. Simulated fighting, followed by actual fighting, followed (invariably) by drunken fighting.

Splitting time between the couch and recliner in Charlotte, hoping Hanna stays away because I have a window that leaks. A leak in Charlotte? Who would have guessed? Ha ha ha h.. okay never mind.
My slate of games looks a lot like Orson’s. I’ve got two TVs (technically; one’s a computer with a TV card plus a monitor) in the living room for these very purposes.
I will not be catching any games on ESPN360 because Thanks Time Warner! Thanks so much!! Luv ya bunches!!!! XOXOXO

I wouldn’t use Gary Barnett for bait. But to see him puking into a nor’easter might make my day.
The plan:
0900 – Miami U @ Meecheegan and Eastern @ State.
1230 – Central @ UGa, go Chips!
1530 – Golden Bears @ Husky Dogs
1600 – NU @ Dook, Webradio only (fuck the ACC, Silverlight, and everything else from Microsoft)
By 7pm PT, I should be either in bliss, or looking for a new bucket of kittens…

11:30 – bourbon @ Harry Bissett’s; enjoy scenery
12:00 – bourbon @ 283 Bar; enjoy scenery
12:30 – hot dog from a street vendor at the corner of College and Broad
1:00 – back to Bissett’s to buy a friend a hurricane — and to drink more bourbon; enjoy scenery
2-ish – wander the streets and drink more bourbon at random bars; enjoy scenery
2:30 – walk through campus; marvel (yet again, after 17 years) that walking past the law library without going in no longer puts a knot in my stomach
2:45 – duck into undisclosed, out-of-the-way nook on campus, mere feet from gameday foot traffic, so buddy can get just a little more taste and smell
3:00 – suck down one last cigarette before heading into 100% smoke-free Sanford Stadium; enjoy scenery
3:15ish – sing Alma Mater and get a little misty over the fact that my parents’ seats next to mine are now occupied by two fat-assed strangers
3:30 – KICKOFF
Post-game is entirely unplanned.

6:00: Murray State-Indiana just to tide me over until …
7:00: Miami/Florida.
9:15: If, as expected, Florida is beating the shit out of Miami, flip to Texas-UTEP.
12:30: If insomnia strikes, I’ll watch a replay of MSU-EMU on the BTN. Hopefully the game isn’t interesting enough for me to bother.

I have somehow engineered my life so that I finally have a fine football Saturday stretched out before me, an ocean full of games filled with both flotsam and jetsam to choose from and nothing, nothing and no one to interrupt my mastery of the remote, for she is out of town. Ahhhh-hahahahaaa. Saturday is mine once again, all mine. Mr. Burns, you have no idea of that which is truly “Excellent.” Life is good on the Redneck Riviera.
I hope the arrogant SC ass who failed in his attempt to succeed in talking down to the SEC on p. 3 left soon after his post went up, b/c you can’t make it from northern VA to State College in less than 15 hours via a psychedelia painted 1958 Blue Bird school bus. All the roads twist and turn and you end up in a Stephen King time warp horror show of fog and mist and “Wait! Weren’t we at this same intersection a hour ago?” And to think I actually reveled in the Carroll/Leinart beatdown of the Aubies on the Plains a few years back, only to suffer through the national media masturbation and spooge wallowing that followed the “21st Century Trojan Ascendancy.” Thank God for Texas, and I detest a got-damned Texas teasip.
Fly, o ye Golden Hattiesburg Eagles, fly high and pluck out the eyes of the Aubies’ eagle so mornoically named “Tiger.” How truly droll. Run the drooling hordes out of Possum Hair Sttadium and roll their Toomer’s Coner in black and gold.
Roll, o ye Crimson Kings of Tushkalusa, namesake of the seven-foot-tall Creek chief, greatest warrior ever to stride the North American Continent, murdered by the cowardly Spanish with their horses and their thunder sticks. Roll all over they ass, as Shirley Q says. Two wins in a row with a bullet. What was that Oklahoma streak, now?
Strike out the hearts of the Irish, o great Aztec kings of San Diego. Shred their shillelaghs and ravage their creamy skinned red haired women. They do not deserve their own television network, and they must suffer for at least another year. Sorry, Lou.
I shall watch them all, and no one will stop me!

Dear College Football,
I miss your smell. I miss the way you and I would wake up together on Saturday mornings with that little nagging feeling of shame that eventually turned into excitement about what the future held for the both of us. Yes, College Football, I know you came around last week, but Gustav got in our way and kept me from your loving arms. I will not let that happen again.
And this morning, when I wiped the crust from my eyes, I gazed into those windows to your soul and saw myself. It felt good, nay, great. And today in South Louisiana the weather has a hint of fall in the air and some of the guys are cooking gumbo…and you’re invited, C.F. We all want you there so that we can flirt with you. Hell, you’re the reason for the party, baby, so get dolled up and put on your dancin’ shoes. I’ve got a cold Beam and Coke with your name on it, sweetheart.
My dearest, it’s good to have you back.
Yours forever,

My 2¢ on the when-to-schedule-a-wedding debate, because the Pride of Louisville and I have discussed this at length:
Winter’s no fun, and being Catholics, Lent is pretty much out for us. In April and May, the weather is too flaky. June is too competitive, and July and August are too damn hot.
Her solution: have some games piped into a side room at the reception, either live or TiVoed. (Have I mentioned that I have the greatest girlfriend ever?)
So we’re debating the merits of doing the deed on the weekend of a non-conference game vs. an obviously bad conference game. That dilemma, my friends, is a poser. I vote for sidetracking the bad conference game, if there’s a cupcake game in September that will build confidence and feature some scoring. Now all we need are some 2010 schedules for UofL and NU.

ND hasn’t played very well, but that third TD throw on the fade was beautiful. What an arm on Anna Faris.

Reminder: 8:00 p.m. livebloggin’ for Miami-Florida is oh-oh-on. We promise only enthusiasm, not coherence.

Yeah, Jimmy’s had some nice throws but the refs screwed SDSU on that fumble call. Elbow down = no TD but no fumble.

Make sure and post a BAC and a disclaimer before the liveblogging begins Orson.

Charlie Weis – “We’ll all be working for him soon (the kickoff coverage specialist).”
Sooner than you think. Sooner than you think fatman.

less than five minutes into the bama game and we’ve had a punt, an offensive line penalty and a near interception. way to keep focused after a big win guys.

I thought an elbow counted as “down” too, but I saw a sideline pass where the receiver’s elbow hit in bounds but his feet didn’t and it was ruled incomplete.

I guess in College Footbaw it’s all about the knees/feet!

Bill Stewart is not the guy. I’m calling this right now, and I’m completely serious.

You know, it hit me today that Ole Miss hasn’t had a winning season since before I got married.
If we have another losing season this year, is that grounds for divorce?

Look at that schedule. Nov 29, get ready. Undefeated USC vs. undefeated ND.

- - WFV hiring Bill Stewart was essentially a Vegas wedding with the guy you had a whirlwind week with after your ex dumped you.
It’s going to end sooner than we all think, and it’s going to end ugly.

Stewart was a dumb hire. I actually know a WVU alum who told me he was happy RichRod left for Michigan, and that Stewart was a better fit for the program. Same guy just sent me a 10 word text message… 6 of the words were “fuck”

@279—He’s not the only one. My mom’s whole family are Of WFV, and there’s a hard generational split—all the old folks loooooved Bill Stewart and cursed Rod, all the young’uns hate the WFV AD and were filled with dread pre-season. I’m tired of being right.

87 yd punt return for score by javier arenas. then we almost let them do the same on the kickoff return.
also, i was not emotionally prepared to hear the saban ford f-150 commercial after the score.

First, if Willingham called that QB draw, his balls are enormous and I take my hat off to him.
Second, that celebration call was absolute bullshit.

Like the old saying… ’you gotta know who you are"… did anybody other than people in West Virginia believe that Rodriguez was gonna be there forever? So the jilted lover hires “one of their own”… instead of going out into the marketplace to find the right guy.
off topic, UDub got screwed tonight against BYU. Only in the Pac-10 would your own conference reps give a game to a Mountain West team in your own stadium

did Erin just call him “Urban”?

Everyone who bitched about the SDSU fumble call at the goalline seems to have forgotten ND had the exact same thing happen to them, where the RB’s knee was visibily down before he fumbled at the 3. Karma was just evening things up.
But please, keep the hate flowing.
