PrintSplish splash, campers. This'll be our home until 5 PM Pacific, 8 PM God's Time, when we will all be thoroughly relieved to see kickoff in the Coliseum just so we won't have to hear about it anymore.
Matt Grothe, football hero. We're as spooked as you are.

I have it on good authority that Our Lord and Savior likes to wake up and watch college football first thing at 9 AM and have it end with four or five hours left to hit the bars before last call.

That was a cute intro for the Cal/Maryland game… “The tailgating beverage of choice at this hour is coffee!”
Insert chest thumping reference to bourbon and the SEC here.

Dammit, I didn’t come here to see Schnellenberger in a raincoat. I came here to see Schnellenberger in red-and-white houndstooth pants, a monogrammed white shirt with French cuffs, a red-and-blue rep tie, a sky blue blazer and a straw boater.

Harris, he still looks like he reeks of bourbon, even with a windbreaker covering him up.

S2N, if that’s the case, I wish he would speak to some of our legislators and let the largest cities (SF, LA, SD, SJ, Sac, Fresno and ?) set our own hours for last call. 2am is just silly.

Maryland scored first, somehow.
Do I smell a Jeff Tedford-patented collapse coming earlier than usual this season?

Holly, I heard that phrase a couple of times last Saturday night. Fortunately, it wasn’t during Dook’s last possession.

Schnelly going for it on 4th and 6 at the 33…..balls twice the size of the Hat, but no personnel to executive his strong vision.

Tedford needs to get MTSU on the phone and ask them how the hell they beat the Toitles last week!

I gotta admit, the Maryland state flag endzone design is sweet.

It’s a special kind of HD. You have to have a hand crank on the side of your television.

@ 23 – Yeah, if that’s HD on Raycom, then I’m Tim “Master Mohel” Tebow.

by A Clean Kick To The Facemask on Sep 13, 2008 12:28 PM EDT reply actions
I know Kevin Reilly still has traumatic experiences from last year against Oregon State, but that last play was one where he had a WIDE OPEN path to end zone and should have run for it.
by Signal to Noise on Sep 13, 2008 12:28 PM EDT reply actions
@Godfrey – I think it’s supposed to be in HD. The ACC telecast here in DC is, but last week they didn’t pick up the HD feed until after halftime.
by OrangeGator on Sep 13, 2008 12:29 PM EDT reply actions
The only thing more powerful than a Tedford collapse is a Friedgen collapse. Cal has this thing tied by halftime and dominates the second half.

Did you guys know Maryland on Eastern time… and that California is Pacific, meaning 3 hours behind? Because Andre Ware apparently just learned that fact and has to keep mentioning it every 15 seconds… as if they’re playing the game at 6am and Cal got off the plane and went directly to the field..

Another thing—sandbagging this game would be a possibility, but it still doesn’t explain Week 1. That was marquee-level meltdown, and we had Crompton passing what, 41 times in the second half when we had backs averaging over seven yards a carry? No. This is dumbassery, plain and simple.
