Skipping the early tilts to do yardwork. That grass isn’t going to aerate and seed itself.
Hitting the couch (and the bottle) about 3ish for ND/Stanford.
Getting dragged to a “Neighborhood Adults Party” at our clubhouse at 6…. whatever that means. Think there is “swinging” involved? Eh, free food and beer – what the hell. I’ll just get drunk and piss off the neighborhood.
Back around 10 for some sweet, sweet Pat Hill action.

Brian says:
After watching some stuff tonight, Early wakeup for some lawn mowing followed by a little ferterlizing and then I will be watching the GT Duke game on ESPNU (I think thats the channel) in the basement on the big-ass screen in the theater chairs with the surround sound. Then going to hit up some kind of pop warner charity related boose fest that my friends who used to play invited me too. Then maybe dribs and drabs wherever we go after that.
@ #1 = foolhardy to think it’s free. Either A) your wife chipped in unbeknownst to you, or B) you’ll pay somehow, oh be sure of that.

Crabapple Buck says:
Following through with a time tested plan. First round of the club championship tomorrow morning. Lunch, then home for an afternoon orgy of football which will feature tOSU vs. Wisconsin in Camp Randall at 8:00 featuring Mike Patrick, Todd Blackledge and Holly Rowe. I will have an eye on all games, particularly those with $pecial interest.

You might even fence that tank in Gainesville. With the demise of “Tebow Smash” as a viable play call, Urban may be seeking an alternative. And its not like the Boosters don’t have the cash…

SC_Gators says:
After being forced to watch last weeks Florida disaster from a bar (fun fact, I am now 0-5 in watching Florida games from bars since moving to the Charlotte area) and only reading about the rest of last weeks mayhem my plans this weekend involve nothing more complicated then sitting around watching football, drinking beer, and socializing with other like minded people online.

Holly says:
Last I heard tickets were down to $10, which is cheaper than PPV. And it’s a night game. Because we’re going to need every advantage we can get against Northern Illinois. Not really kidding.

Bellefay1 says:
Like Orson, I will be attending the football match between the Blue Devils of Duke University and the Yellow Jackets of the Georgia institute of Technology.
I will also to remember to wear sunscreen b/c I still have some of the reverse raccoon/sunglasses tan on my face from the Mississippi State vs. Tech game 2 weeks ago.
From there I will subject myself to another Auburn game despite orders from my doctor/therapist/family/friends/and remote control(which is developing some good battle scars….oddly enough, from only when Auburn is on offense).

Late night nap games are the best, nothing better, cracking first beer at first kick-off, and realizing those last13 hours will never be returned!

Watching the 11:30 Daves, followed by:
considering catact surgery, followed by:
as much of Bama/KY as needed, followed by:
Hauling ass up I65 for Jason Isbell at 7pm at the Muscle Shoals Music Festival.

attending Cal-ASU game, suprised (not really) Holly doesn’t have it on her list, 12:30pt on ABC. Then walking to various bars in Berkeley to drink and watch whatever said bar has on at the time.

dogtown gator says:
Dangit. Have to bail on the CFB day and there’s not even a wedding.
Softball practice in the morning.
Sneak in some football watching before test driving a Mini to replace the car that Heath S. totaled during Tennessee hate week.
Briefly home to sneak in some more football before the LA Burning Man party downtown. Will be wearing orange, and um, pink.
Watching the Arkansas/UF game on TiVo on Sunday. Doubt that I’ll record any of the other games.

Graysnail says:
Florida / Arkansas in the early afternoon for sure; the Raycom ACC game of the week is bizarrely BC / NC State, meaning if I watched that I’d be the only person dumb enough to watch it who’s not a fan of either team. (This is instead of GT/Duke; even the Raycom ACC affiliate can’t get their crappy Game of the Week right.) We’ll toss in a little Penn State / Purdue action for the hell of it.
The afternoon games will be …well, whatever’s on CBS this time around (Allabama / Kentucky?) along with FSU / Miami (time machine not provided) and Illinois / Michigan. Notre Dame / Stanford will get minimal attention unless Jimmah’s in form. Oklahoma / Baylor will be on when I remember it’s there (CSN, who knew you had such a love affair for the Big 12?).
Night games will be night games; hell, I don’t even know what I’ll be watching, but it looks like there are five games on here and minimal ACC involvement, I hope.

cokeisit says:
Mmmmm … I will be burninating a pile of leaves, limbs, and small wildlife whilst watching the Hogs lose a game; Hog fans are in reality mode now, and realize that five wins might be a strectch. In other news, in order to make life more comfortable for the incoming Florida faithful, the local retail shops have cleverly started selling jeans half-off, and by half-off, I mean all the denim below the knee …

CapstoneAlum says:
I will be watching the UK/UA game. I will also be waiting for the other shoe to fall. This is the duty of every good Bama fan..we are now conditioned to great highs/soul crushing lows..So the Cats will probably cause me to join the Hog fan from above in immolation of small animals.

I will be walking precincts for about a half-dozen campaigns in the Sacramento area — and will miss all of the morning’s college football action. Shoot. Me. Now.

Big Jon says:
Taking the LSAT by the dawn’s early light, finishing in time to rush into the open arms of the Daves. I plan on being adequately lubricated by 3:30 ET for the ASU-Cal game, because I’ll need it considering Sparky’s anemic running game. Whatever else is on, yippee.

Coaching soccer for my son and other 5yr olds @ 9 am.
Down to the grove asap afterward for rebs vs cocks @ 1pm.
Not sure after that – prolly aub/vandy.

MikeLew says:
Taking the GREs at 12:30…..bastards didn’t have any seats in the 8:30 slot.
Then, getting home to catch most of Alabama/KY, Stanford/ND, and Illinois/UM.
Following that with some dinner supported by beers and the beginning of Auburn/Vandy and UConn/UNC. Then, turning my full attention to OSU/Wisconsin at 8, maybe following that with Hawaii/Fresno St.

Going to Indiana v Minnesota

Vandy J says:
Dawn patrol. Wife reports for rehearsal at Cal’s Alumni Band Day, in Berkeley, at jackass o’clock in the morning. Probably leaning against the stump of a tree drinking from a flask at 7 AM and cursing the lack of access to the new HDTV showing College Gameday live from Nash Vegas.
At the conclusion of the game, probably borne on a stretcher into somebody’s house to see scores. Almost scared to actually watch the Dores for fear of a hex.
Probably shouldn’t still be awake.

Signal to Noise says:
Early games – will be watching OU vs. Baylor because I want to watch Robert Griffin with my own eyes, despite OU probably ripping him a new orifice. Flip to PSU-Purdue in the breaks. (Iowa vs. Michigan State is for masochists and Pam Ward lovers only — potentially in the same category.)
Nooners – Stanford-ND and (hopefully) FSU-Miami. (The TV system tells me it could be Illinois-Meechigan.) Will watch ASU-Cal if forced to by amount of suck, and will check on how much Rich Brooks thinks Alabama’s blowout lead is bullshit. Stop drinking at 2 to sober up for driving in about three hours.
3pm – Will catch the first half of Auburn-Vandy, puke from offensive putridity, flip to Texas-CU at 4, root for MAJESTIC BUFFALO against Colt McCoy’s double-barreled attack.
No late games this week for me. Party circuit starts at 5:30 in beach town 30 minutes away and then returns to the main drag for bar-hopping and co-worker’s going away.

Looks like a chilly start to the tailgate at GT – it’s not even 60 degrees here in Atlanta!
After watching the BEEEEEES at noon, it’s scrambling to get somewhere to watch the Navy-Air Farce game.
mmmmmmm…triple option goodness all day long

Studley says:
Starting Vay-Cay today. With LSU on the Bye Week, was supposed to be winging my way to Boulder yesterday to catch Texas-Colorado, but that was sadly not possible (stuff happening earlier in the year kiboshed it and LSU-Florida next week).
TV was out last week. With it finally repaired, will be getting back up to speed in a big way by watching a full slate of games:
Morning Session:
Rutty @ WFV
FLA @ Arky (The Three Daves – required viewing, plus I want to see the Gators play angry this week instead of next)
Joe Pa @ Purdue
Duke @ GT
Iowa @ Mich. St.
OK @ BAY
Afternoon Session:
FSU @ MIA (and hoping for a Sterger sighting)
ASU @ CAL
KY @ Bama (Uncles Verne and Gary – also required)
TT @ K-State
NEV @ ID (wondering what the cheerleaders will wear next, plus I need to see more of the Nevada “Pistol” formation to attempt to understand what Crowton’s trying to do at LSU)
Night Session:
Auburn @ Vandy
Texas @ CO (should have been at this game, dammit)
Oregon @ USC
tOSU @ Wisky
Mizzou @ NEB
Hawaii @ Fresno State
May also pop in and catch a few other games not mentioned and the Petit LeMans on Speed Channel.
On The Menu: Gettin’ my Sushi on tonight. You have not lived until you’ve experienced a Cajun Crawfish Roll. Will knosh on other varietals also.

nick black says:
ahhh, off to watch my engineers annihilate the hated dukish foes like so many relativistic particles in the LHC! in the resonant glories of nitrous-induced victory haze, several freshmen might be plucked from east campus, fed steroid shakes and forced to watch henry rollins exercise videos until they beg for death. these white devils of Duke and Duchies and Dukedoms and the heathen Nicolaitans (misled by of Krzyzewski and Gog and Magog, accursed before the LORD), claim cerulean hues but hark! just as the Scatterings of Compton rubify Atlanta’s sky duskwise, GT’s defense renders them red; meanwhile, coach Paul “NP != P for values of P equal to Paul Johnson, Bitch” Johnson plays the part of Professor STAFF, administering a grim lesson in Knowing One’s Role. GT by 14, w0000t! GO JACKETS, STING ‘EM!

PJ from NU in SF says:
Up early because my sleep patterns are FUBAR, and thanking God that I do not have yardwork to distract me from the weekend’s most important task: fucking off.
Putting insomnia to good work by sorting out some piled-up paperwork while ignoring the siren song of the pregame shows. The only nice thing about the economy melting down is that I am no longer receiving 20 credit card applications every week.
With Northwestern and Louisville on bye, I lack a sense of urgency. When I get back from breakfast, I’ll settle down for a little Iowa @ State, followed by [TEAM REDACTED] at Le Grosse Chez. Brother Reefer Cargo is coming by somewhere in there to pick up his newly-defragmented (for the first time in four years) iMac, so offerings to the Gods shall be burnt. The question is: andouille or bratwurst?
Otherwise, I’m at a loose end; naps will be slotted into this demanding schedule as necessary. After that, I might roust myself to watch a little Bucky-on-Buckeye action. No question of who to root for here: When you say Wisconsin, you’ve said it all.

Visiting relatives in Pine Mountain, Ga. My coffee this morning had some kind of alcohol in it and there’s a liquor store in sight. Excepting Duke/Tech, I’m gonna keep tabs on my beloved ess eee see all day. I need to get prepared for what may be the first Vandy loss of my lifetime.

Georgia Tech vs Duke= S.A.T SPEEEED!!!!!
Is that Engineers vs Doctors? or Attorneys?
I will be watching,from work, Alabama vs KY….
I think its gonna be a yawner and I think we will sleepwalk thru this one. It seems we always seem to do off the wall stuff vs lesser opponents, like throw the damn ball every down….I am convinced it is not to give LSU edge as far as our tendencies…..If we can hold off the injury bug for the LSU and Auburn games, we may have a shot……

I’ll be watching my man crush, Pam Ward and hoping Javon Ringer has some gas still left in the tank.
I’ll also be flipping over to Gtech to watch a little flexbone.
If I have time for this shit, I’ll watch Terrence Cody cause a solar eclipse and make Rich Brooks OD on geritol.
I’ll then drink copious of Sangria (red drank) at Modesto her in the Lou, then skip the Ryan Adams concert to watch Chase Daniels run the “Swiss Timepiece”, aka the mizzou O.
Assuming they all cover, I’ll have drunk retard strength and retard swagger in time for EDSBS live.

I’m currently getting the normal Big Ten/Big East Buffet the Pittsburgh area has to offer. I’ll be sticking to mostly PSU/Purdue until about 2:30 (at which point another season begins… +100 cocktails to anyone else who will be watching the action from Sweeden). Anywho, I’ll be tuning into the alma mater via the interweb at 3:30 then head blindly into the night. Some drank is definitely in my immediate future considering I was the DD last evening.
