Actually, he says “every day WOULD be saturday”.

Feel free to kick my ass for being that guy.

Yesterday was my first SEC on CBS viewing of the season. Finally feels like fall now that I’ve got my Uncles-Verne-and-Gary fix.

(Normally, this feeling would be generated by Raycom as well, but since they cut to commercial and MISSED CROMPTON’S SECOND TOUCHDOWN PASS yesterday, they and GamePlan are on my list. And it’s not a good list.)

The Coaches’ Poll is out: http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2008/09/14/oh-you-sly-old-dog/#comments

The most pathetic part: Many of the coaches’ assistants don’t check the internet before submitting their Top 25, because Arizona State is at #24.

@4

I can’t believe ASU is still ranked. The best evidence yet that the most ridiculous part of college football is that the “coaches” have a poll that goes 1/3 the way toward determining the title game. These guys don’t watch the other games–they’re not supposed to.

That would be ok if they at least looked at some stats, but clearly that doesn’t happen either. ECU moving up more than USF? Really?

If I were a head coach, I’d just give some lackey a couch, a Gameplan package, a 12-pack of Red Bull and wish him luck in figuring out who the best 25 were.

We’re just as shocked as you are. Just couldn’t handle that MTN speed.

Will (the other one) says:

So…beating the shit out of an 0-3 team means more than barely beating a 1-2 team (that was 1-1 prior to the game)?

These assholes remember what happened the last time OU and USC played with a title on the line right?

John says:

Will,

All three of Washington’s opponents are in the Top 25, so they might not be that bad. Either way, it’s still way too early to be freaking out, just lay back and let the season work itself out.

Uncle Vern is loving him some Orson humor.

Allegedly, he and Gary are working on a step to “Put On” by Young Jeezy.

Damn, if we keep winning, we’ll be out of the Top Ten by November.

Gotta love Uncle Verne. Gary is pretty damned good too.

#9 the last time OU and USC played with a title on the line…

This time may be very, very different. I watch OU games just to see what the enemy is up to (same classless behavior, but what’s new?) and they seem to just get better and better every week. And, I can assure you, there is no joy in saying this. Only pain and suffering. USC may be the only team that can contain, if not beat, OU.

It was hard to watch the Kansas game. They do not have a running game to speak of, Mangino cannot expect Reesing to shoulder that entire offense.

If you have a chacne to ever watch a Baylor game, you should. The QB, Robert Griffin, is going to be the next great one in the Big 12. This kid can run and pass and he makes things happen. And that ain’t easy at Baylor.

Did anyone see Michael Phelps on sunday night football…and his accompanying 10+ smoking gf. Makes tim tebow’s boobzilla look like a dried up hooker.

PW says:

I’m not too concerned about rankings this early in the season. Also, while it’s true that the coaches poll makes up 1/3 of the formula that decides who plays for the national championship, only their top 2 matter, not the rest of the top 25, and most people are generally in agreement about the top 2.

Of course, early season wins over “top 5″ opponents may artificially boost a team’s ranking, so teams 3 through 25 may still matter a little bit.

Well fuck, I thought this was gonna be an intro to the Auburn vs Miss St. game.

If it were the intro to Auburn v. Miss State, it would have been more mind-fuckingly dreadful.

MaconDawg says:

My other favorite Uncle Verne lines from the game were a) when he referred to a “four letter network” (which I assume to be the WWL) and b) when he said that Casper Brinkley isn’t playing at South Carolina this year because he “ran out of seniority”.

There was also a reference to “goat roping”, which I looked up on Urban Dictionary and found no entry for. So I’m still not sure exactly what that is all about . . .

Goat Rope: something all screwed up, like a tied up goat trying to f**** through the rope. Often used in Naval settings, i.e. “That exercise was such a goat rope, can you believe their CO has a SWO pin.”

not quite the same but similar to, chinese fire drill, and circle jerk.
