Live from Northern Virginia, I have laryngitis, so I’m in the apartment watching the Gators with a Harris Teeter-supplied 12er of Magic Hat #9. Assorted crappy Big Televen games are also on, but I’m not paying much attention to those outside of bowl projections.

How is it possible that Michigan State and Iowa play every week at noon on the deuce?

OrangeGator says:
Never mind…looks like there are a variety of non-Big Televen games to keep me occupied: KU-ISU, SUNJ-West Fuckin’ Virginia, BC-NCSU…Comcrap refuses to give us the U, so no Tech-Duke. Chizik’s boys just scored again. 14-0 Cyclones.

Just returned from Gameday in Nashville. I have seen the Vanderbilt Commodore redneck bandwagon fan. This is the jaguar shark of the SEC ocean.

So Paterno is in the booth ’cause he injured his knee trying to demonstrate an onside kick? I would pay money for that footage…and Godfrey, that was indeed the oddest collection of people and signage I have ever seen at a Gameday…freaky.

If any fool but me cares about WFV, Jock Sanders just made a gorgeous TD catch and made about four defenders miss on the way.

Signal to Noise says:
The economy-related signs on Gameday were the best ones, particularly the one about Auburn’s offense.
28-0, OU after one quarter. Think Stoops lets ‘em run it up past 70 today?

Penn Wagers is the worst official in the United States of America.
And it’s not even close.

Raycom Roy says:
maybe the Fl/Ark officals should just leave the flags on the field and pick them up when there isn’t a penalty. It would be easier on their backs

The feds admire OU right now. They wish they had that kind of efficiency in Waco 15 years ago.

Anyone else in the Champagne Room getting redirected to a post from 2005 concerning the Master Coaches Poll featuring a then breathing Bo Schembechler?

Yes. It’s been doing that since last night.

ChasingMizzou says:
While the spector of conference mutual destruction looms, how can I not be excited that the Cyclones have more than double KU’s passing yards at half?
Their tears salt my humble pie (a dinner pie).

Gen. Stoopnagle says:
So, after my nice run at the Botanical Gardens, I wandered home to watch GT-Duke and PSU-Purdon’t. Both, at this time, seem to be well in hand. I’m watching UF-Arkies now. Agree on PW. Was that UGA’s offensive line playing for the Gators in the second 1/4? Looks like the East favs have similar issues. Will I go to the WLOCP? (Ouch. Tebow just got the Marcus Howard treatment.)
I’m looking at watching as much of Bama-UK as necessary, then probably getting patriotic with Navy-AF at 4, Vandy-AU at 6, then my main course will likely be Texas-CU. Depends on how the ‘dores hold up.

Florida’s only up 17-7 in the 3rd, and Tebow Child just missed a wide-open Percy for an INT.

Harvin just got in the end zone. Equilibrium restored.

That’s OK, Orange Gator… God insulted Kenny in the height/looks area. Not sure how he’s maintained…

Mich-Placed Gator says:
#74 I saw it, but wouldn’t say he was “insulting the service academies” He was insulting Notre Dame, which should be insulted, for scheduling Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and U.S. Maritime Academy every year.
HEY…that Chris Rainey kid is purdy fast….

Can we get a body on Uncle Verne? He just compared Saban favorably to Bear and I fear for his safety in the parking lot if this doesn’t go well.

Stephen Colboar says:
MASSIVE improvement from Arkansas, especially on D.
This score’s going to look a lot worse than the game has been. For three quarters and some change, this was a competitive game.
I’m satisfied with the Hogs improvement.

Mt. Cody popping out of my birthday cake is now my nightmare, thanks, Holly.

Holly says:
Jamie, I’d feel sorry…but at least y’all faced him with a football team. We got nothing come 10/25 but a couple safeties and an O-Line.

Please tell me someone else heard that Arrelious Benn was ‘crazy open’. My favorite, and the whitest call of the year going away.

Studley says:
I heard the “crazy open” comment.
And I just saw a shot of JPW’s mom during KY-Bama. Definitely hot.
Quoteth Uncle Gary Danielson: “I hope she’s the one in the middle.”

I could use more JPW Mom shots or their equivalent. Nice.
Oh, great fumble, Coffee. Jackass.

WOOOOO!!! WE HAVE A DEFENSE!!!!
We’re 1 win away from going to Detroit! I never thought I’d be happy to say that.

Orson Swindle says:
One note on GT: they ran a rugby scrum for the entire first half. Just a huge mass of humanity pushing piles of Duke defenders around for thirty minutes.
Also: giggity. The flip side of the Houston Nutt coin just landed ass-up today.

To be fair, Orson, Ole Miss didn’t play too badly we just played well for once.

@ #82… Maybe, but at least Navy and Air Force are competitive and go to bowl games regularly. There are other opponents ND has scheduled over the past few seasons you could criticize more, like John Bunting coached-UNC, Ted Roof coached-Duke, SD State, (sadly) the ‘Cuse, and…hello, Stanford!
