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

PJ from NU in SF says:
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.

Once I get back to the apartment, probably OrSt-PSU and WVU-ECU (with occasional checks on SDSU-ND just in case ND manages to pull off the impossible and suck worse than last year).
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.

Sitting on a colonial style porch in Virginia routing our drive up to State College to watch the Pac-10 win another big game and still get no respect. (Win? Maybe. beat the 16 points? Easy Money) Sitting in rocking chairs, downing some suds, smoking some crap ass cigar and telling the boys that LA is great, but this is Americana! Where’s the fuckin’apple pie, god damnit?!?!? (Americana never included being online while drinkin some cheap as Coors on Friday night)
We got 2 Oregon State grads, One SC grad and a dude whose lady is dropping liablity #1 in 3 weeks so he doesn’t give a shit where we go. “Just bring beer!”

From about 8 AM until about 5 PM I’ll be on the couch here in the middle of nowhere in California, watching all the games that come my way.
At 5:30, I’ll be hitching it and walking 15 minutes to Spanos Stadium, where I’ll be watching some I-AA football as Cal Poly hosts Montana for the home opener. (Yes, the same Cal Poly that put the last minute hurting on San Diego State last week.)

10:00 am–Set up tailgate at SMU’s Boulevard (aka “Grove Lite”). Make annual September call to activate DirecTV receiver specifically used for tailgating.
11:00 am–Big Ten smorgasbord of asskickery. Will flip around to find most competitive game.
2:00 pm–BYU/UDub
2:30–Cincy/OU
4:00–Aggy/Lobo (It’s Red White Black and Blue Summer on Versus! At least that’s what Phil Liggett kept telling me during the Tour de France.)
5:30–Halftime…time to wander the Boulevard looking at strapless dresses
7:00–You’re looking live…at SMU/Texas St. (Insert Scott Bakula joke here). As the billboards around Dallas proclaim, “June Cometh.” Evidently his defense still resideth in Hawaii.
8:00–Texas Tech/Nevada radio, Archie Manning style.
10:00–2nd qtr of UT-Austin/UT-Juarez. Damn hyphen schools.
11:30–The rest of the world’s football, USA-Cuba from Havana (on TiVo).

I’ll be watching my kid’s soccer game when the games kick off, so I’ve set the TiVo for the tOSU-Ohio game. I’ll watch it in the early afternoon, though I may check in on the Domers and SDSU, just in case the Aztecs are putting up a fight. In the evening I’m going out so my TiVo is set for both Florida/Miami and USA/Cuba.

yeah. I’ll be watching whatever i can including Cinci at OU if it looks like the bearcats have a shot. and no I wont be watching these lovely out of market games for free on ESPN360 either, because a company called COX COMMUNICATIONS provides my internets tube. Yes they’re called cox, and would you believe they added basic cable to my service package without my knowledge or consent and billed me for three months before i noticed? well, thankfully they did it “as a courtesy”, at least that is how they tried to explain it to me when i called demanding a refund. they couldn’t have chosen a better name…

Moses Swaim says:
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!

Miss-Wake/Penn State-Oregon State (no Orange-Akron…BOOOO…want to see SU get one of our two wins for the year)
Gators-Univ. of North Havana (may join the Gator Club for this one if the weather improves…if I’m not already drunk off my ass)
Texas-UTEP

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,

So, last week’s experiment in new open thread technology will not be repeated?
Miami’s looking good, but Michigan is settling down. Threet’s not the immobile lump he was rumored to be; Michigan’s D appears sound.
State, not so much. Floundering for most of the first quarter against Eastern is not what the D’Antonio era is supposed to be about.
[TEAM REDACTED] giving up a fat six to Eastern Ill. and Marshall ahead of Wisky – I’m lovin’ it.
Confidence is high — I may wind up pausing games at the half to go hunt down the elusive chicken-fried steak before heat and street fair reduce options.

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.

WarCardinals says:
I agree that it was a terrible call, but I don’t see how it really mattered in the end. The extra point was blocked. That shouldn’t really matter regardless of whether it’s from the 10 or the 25. If your kicker has to adjust that much for a 35 yard kick, you’re already in trouble.
The only argument you could make is that maybe Ty goes for 2 and the win.

There’s always room on the Auburn bandwagon! The only thing I need to say is that if you become an Auburn fan, you don’t have to worry about getting chop-blocked. Otherwise, an ill-timed chop block could be just around the corner.
