Ohio’s back-up QB is in, and he has a glorious ‘fro that he can’t keep in his helmet.

PJ from NU in SF says:
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 clusterfuck game for Tech prediction is looking wrong, as is my belief that BC’s offense would suck.

Marshall marches down the field and scores again on Becky’s defense. 14-0.
Fuck Wisconsin.

Apparently, Southern Miss’ defensive gameplan did not involve covering backs or tight ends.

The donkey-fuckers who employ me — and thereby allow me to pay my rent and purchase the company of Laotian Ladyboys — have forced me to cover a weekend brest cancer symposium, therefore I can’t watch any games until 7 p.m. at the earliest. Healtheir tits or football? Shit, a man shouldn’t have to make that kind of choice. Pray for me.

This Auburn/USM game is eerily reminiscent of last year’s AU/USF game…also AU’s second game of the year, and the running backs had a bad case of fumblitis last year too.

Of course, USM doesn’t have the Gro-hawk either

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.

Looks like the Auburn of the last two years. Tough defense, average offense.

OUCH! Baptiste just got the holy water knocked outa him!

Todd Boeckman must be a missing Manning cousin or something. That was some priceless Manning Face after Hartline and Robiskie dropped some balls.

Auburn’s defense, my friends, is still the shit, even if the offense is inconsistent as my dump this morning was
Wow, two fecal matter references in one sentence

If OSU is still losing at halftime, Spielman may murder a linebacker and steal his uniform so he can play the 2nd half.

A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
Have to agree with you Biggus. If their offense was half as good as their D, they might actually deserve their ranking.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:13 pm

Biggus Rickus says:
Ohio’s QB is named Boo? I hope they never lose again.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pm

WarCardinals says:
And USM’s kicker/punter’s name is Barefoot

Graysnail says:
BC is generally nickel-and-diming their way to the lead against GT, whose offense looks …well, like the Chan Gailey-led abomination from previous ages.
On an unrelated note, there’s a disturbingly high percentage of ads here for pawn shops and cash centers.

A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
Wailing and gnashing of teeth alert canceled. AU managed to keep the ball long enough to get the TD.

wait a second…is Ohio in the SEC or something? OR was Beanie Wells the the entire team for the Fuckeyes?

Dwyer just “ran like a caveman’ according to the Raycom color dude. I’d reference the Geico cavemen here, but I fucking hate those commercials.

Guess Ohio borrowed some of that ESS EEE CEE speed from somebody.

Graysnail says:
@ 73: I wouldn’t have been too worried about it; Auburn was – well, is – dominating all facets of the game except for the “holding onto the ball in the opponent’s red zone” category. it was only a matter of time.
GT with yet *another* fumble. We’re going to see a wet football drill in Atlanta next week, I’ll bet.

And this BC-Tech game has settled into the game I expected. And it’s every bit as exciting as you’d expect in an ACC game.

Would Ohio qualify as New Money?

sonofsamford,
I think Ohio would qualify as white trash.

Graysnail says:
I, for one, was excited to hear the Raycom color dude talk about how fumbles weren’t a big deal to the Yellow Jackets.
Wisconsin’s finally woken up, Iowa’s getting out the kind of aggression they normally save for freshman co-eds, and Purdue is looking like some high quality oatmeal. Who would’ve thought?

PJ from NU in SF says:
Holly, the do-it-with-the-WAC method occurred to us, but there’s no worse way to go down the aisle than depressed if one of our teams really stinks up the joint. That’s a distinct possibility, given our combined depth charts.

Guess Franklin finally got it through the O’s head that it’s the team with the most POINTS, not FIRST DOWNS, that wins.

So I had the TV on mute – someone may want to correct me if I’m off here – but I think the ACC moment of the week was Duke winning a home game for the first time in three years. I knew last week was pretty rough on them, but that’s crueler than even I could’ve imagined.

85—what is even crueler is that Duke typically loses to i-aa teams but beats Big ten bowl teams. coincidence? I think not.

OSU just gave up a score on a high snap that Boeckman fumbled.
This team is going to get schooled next week if they actually survive this one.

Is Boeckman so distraught over Wells that he’s forgotten how to play football? Did Tressel not give a halftime ass-ripping? WTF?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:58 pm

A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
Ohio’s D gets the score…we’ll see how much more sweat Tressel’s sweatervest can absorb.

AN Ohio State University is making Boo Jackson (the BACKUP QB for THE Ohio University) look like Bo Jackson.

Reminders:
–we’re posting updates at TSB until the liveblog tonight.
–Todd Boeckman is Craig Krenzel with gout.
–We are liveblogging tonight during the Miami game. We may not survive it, but we will try.
–Chris Spielman will finish this game with 6 tackles and one sack.
–Pam Ward has vastly improved from her early days with the Crash Test Dummies.
–Todd Boeckman, who will win this game, is still horrible.

Yeah, OSU will win the game, but it’s nice for them to be embarrassed in the process!
