OPEN THREAD, PART TWO: BREATH, TAKEN AWAY

Hi. You know who I am. This thumb's for you, Colt McCoy, because you're a champion who takes my breath away and turns in slow motion away from onrushing defenders bent on crushing you. You took the highway to the danger zone but took the exit toward Victory Lane, and for that I'm buzzing your tower and oiling myself up for a one-on-one volleyball game. You're invited.
No more playing with the boys, Colt: just you and me, a Colt and a Maverick out in the field doing what animals do. I'm bringing this thumb. Let's role play: this time, you be Sam Bradford, and I'll be Brian Orakpo and Sergio Kindle.
This is your open thread for the afternoon. We don't judge you, whatever you'd like to do with or to Colt McCoy and the rest of the magnificent Texas Longhorns, who played the finest game of the year thus far against the Oklahoma Sooners. Boom. Motherfucker.

Little Throw Peep cashed in a 4th and 13, but the receiver was stripped of the ball as he was going down and UNC recovered, the refs didn’t get it right on the field, ND rushed up to spike the ball but couldn’t before the clock ran out, then the refs said they were reviewing the previous play, then they took about six minutes and figured out that yes it was a fumble and UNC recovered, game over.

So, BadgerMan you seem to have actually watched the game rather than just looking at stats why does the U look godly on Defense every so often (this week, against UF) but like crap other weeks (against UNC, against FSU)?

SEC ref is 18 inches away from a catch, staring at the receiver’s foot as it lands completely out of bounds.
So he calls it a catch (refs from across the field come over and wave it off). Not surprisingly, his ass is so big it looks like someone shoved a large man up it. Insert Charlie Weiss’s head up ref’s ass joke here.

@ Socratic – just the opposite. Just looking at the stats, I don’t see that game on my viewing options.
@ everyone else – the announcers in the game I am watching just compared Bobby Petrino to the stock market. (they were trying to be complementary, saying "you know it will come back, but when?) I don’t care how bad this audio is; it is golden. Let’s not go into calling Casey Dick a receiver on his TD catch.
More annoying stats:

The corndogs are getting burned…officially switching to Ok St-Mizzou….and it’s actually high expectations….Tenn always has good QB’s and Crompton was like a freak accident.

That was a fucking prayer of a throw by Robinson and a receiver actually came down with it in the end zone.
Pinkel has the gun to his head and is rotating the chamber….

I must’ve misunderstood. UT lost by 12, feeling “GREAT about the game,” in general, if you lost by 12 meant you had low expectations. Feeling great about the QB play is an entirely different thing.

That’s the best anyone has summed it up all year.

Looking at a likely 0-6 conference start for Wisconsin. Gotta love playing Cal-Poly in late November for bowl eligibility. Assuming a win over Punky Brewster…

Trust me I know about Tenn QB’s…with a few exceptions, Tenn cleans UGA’s clock with that….

For UT, this season was looking like a total loss, with Berry being the lone bright spot for the future. With what appears to be a competent QB under center, next season appears to have some promise.
Compare UT with, say, FSU. If you’re an FSU fan, your team has shown you no reason to think you’ll be any better in the near future.

Yeah, I always spend the middle of October wondering why we play Georgia so hard and Florida so stupid. Always, always. What the hell?
by Holly on Oct 11, 2008 11:12 PM EDT reply actions
This was brought up on Doc Saturday’s blog and I thought I would share the horror…so if the SEC and the Big 12 destroy each other within conference….there could be a ACC-Big East or ACC-Big 10 MNC….think about it…..

Maybe Tennessee is like Jan Ulrich – he always took a week to ride into shape on the Tour, and it always cost him. (Against Armstrong, anyhow.)

@157: I see it like this:
Jester- Phil Fulmer… used to be a great pilot but is now a washed up douche bag pissed off at everyone
Goose- Tommy Bowden… got close to being on top but never got there and couldn’t punch out when he should have (read take the Arky job last year)

Did that get helmet-to-helmet on that hit on Daniel? It looked like it, but if not, I call bullshit again.

Every Oct…again with like 2 exceptions, Fulmer and Ainge (or Martin or Manning or whoever) would kick our ass…even if we were like undefeated…so this means we will play sucky at FL and Auburn now…

You will have no problems with Auburn. None. Bank on that. Florida…Florida looks like themselves again, which, RUN!!

Every team has their bogeyman – for UF it’s usually Auburn and Random SEC West Team.
What a play by Demps… kinda looking like whatisname did to USC. (Great name, but can’t remember it at the moment.)

If bama lost Mt. Cody, they would not suck as bad as LSU has tonight…LSU couldn’t really do anything on either offense or defense…at all…I don’t what happened to LSU other than SERIOUSLY BAD KARMA for threatening the CHOSEN ONE

Seriously, if you never put Missouri in the top 5 to begin with, you don’t have to look like a fool when they eventually prove that they’re freakin’ Missouri.

I’m not sure whether to feel relieved that LSU is obviously quite vulnerable and beatable or horrified that they’re going to be a wee bit angry, take our lunch money, and skull-fuck our mothers when they come to town next week.

T. Boone’s money done bought those Stillwater bums a defense.
Chase Daniel, hopefully you deliver pizzas better than you delivered some of those passes.
Also, problem: Bama will be #1 on Monday.

S2N – I wonder if T Boone might start asking for some of that money back now. His hedge fund could be down 96% after last week.

The damn we don’t. Spurrier’s our coach. Can’t get much more “on our side” than coaching the team.
I am, however, worried that the corndog vapors wafting over from the state fair shall inspire their brethren in the friendly confines of Willy-B.

First, I don’t know how I can be expected to type after a whole day of drinking… especially my “name” and “email” over and over again.

For as high-strung as I thought Gundy was, he looked like he didn’t even give a fuck sitting on that bench drawing up plays while the defense wasn’t even out on the field. The man’s got balls, that’s for damn sure.
by Rob on Oct 12, 2008 12:06 AM EDT reply actions
Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck fuck. Damn you, Man Who Is Not 40 Anymore.
But what does this all mean?
—Texas should, by all means, be number 1 this week. The way they played in the 2nd half was astounding. Bama should be number 2 after playing that powerhouse side Bye’s got, Penn State 3 and then it just gets sloppy after that (not 1, but 2 Utah schools possibly in the top 5?). Mizzou, Oklahoma and LSU should all drop to the lower rungs of the top 10, joined by Okie State and the other Utah school (probably the apostates, as BYU was higher to begin with), as well as someone else.
—Congratulations, Colt McCoy. You just moved yourself into the fabled cat-bird seat for the Heisman, possibly joined by Moreno. Daniel and Bradford took hits but could get right back into it.
—As for fellow Missouri fans? It’s hard to look for a silver lining, as it just proves EVERY DAMN THING the detractors said about this team (Daniel’s a glorified pizza-boy, no pass defense on deep fades, the uncanny ability to give up the big play), but I might have found one: last year, after the Tigers lost to an Oklahoma team in a “That Game”, they came back to beat a Texas team (last year it was Tech), playing with something to prove.
—I’m deathly afraid that, if things progress like they just might, we’ll see another NCG with a very good, no doubt, SEC team just manhandling an utterly overmatched school from the Big Televen (Bama versus Penn State), simply because they both are undefeated. If that happens, several websites will implode, Mike Alden will file papers to join the Big Ten, and I will throw my hands in the air and begin writing a virus to crash the BCS computers.

Uhhhh… Penn State in the title game would be so bad? Yeah, cuz Bama was so dominant vs. Tulane and Kentucky. Let’s not forget the reason everyone started polishing Saban’s knob was that beatdown of a really, REALLY shitty Clemson team.
Face it. There is a lot of season to play, football exists outside of duh SEC, and we’ll never know until we start settling the NC on the field.
For the record, I would take PSU over Bama without hesitation after watching that asswhipping today

@230:
Yes, Alabama hasn’t played well at times, but in their biggest game so far (at Georgia…forget Clemson, they’re a Tommy Bowden-coached team and you know how that is) they thrashed a good team very convincingly. Penn State, however, has yet to play anyone of note (and don’t call a Wisconsin team that didn’t seem like they wanted to be in it against Ohio State and couldn’t catch Steven Threet in a game that again they didn’t play like they wanted to win “notable”)—while they’ve looked good so far, it’s easy to look good against crap competition.
But you are right, there still is a good amount of football to be played (which is why I think that a B12 South winner will not run the table—the top 4 in that division are just insane)
by Turd Ferguson on Oct 12, 2008 12:41 AM EDT reply actions
Fuck, go ahead and put Bama at number 5 for Christsakes, all number one does is put a freakin huge ass target on your back, and we like to sneak up on people….Gators looked like they found their running back…..With Auburn imploding, all we have to do is get by Houston Nutt ,use the Gator blueprint to beat LSUand we will see either Gators or the Dawgs again….my money is on the Gators, although I dont think Percy Harvin’s glass heel will hold up, and lets face it, he is a large part of the Gators offense, at least his presence keeps defenses honests …Bama fears no one, and would love to play any Big 12 team or PAC 10 team or Big 10 team…Penn State hasnt played ANYBODY, and if you notice, when these overrated teams who have been in the preseason top 10 and stayed there until they played SOMEONE,they lose..(Georgia,Mizzou,LSU,OU) , I think the system will correct itself….Penn State should beat tOSU, then we will see…. Give Texas the number one ranking please….and move Bama down to #5…..hell put Florida at #2…..lets see what Texas and Penn State will do when you take away the run, then we will talk…I love Lou Holtz and his “weakest damn schedule” comment about Colt McCoy

We shall have to wait and see…. I think that USC has a great shot to creep back in there and I also believe that the 12 will pick each other off as the SEC does every year giving them just that window.
Georgia still isn’t blowing up my skirt… Bama looks good but they haven’t faced another big, bad O/D line, yet. They worked Georgia’s lines and I would like to see them do that against LSU (oh, and GA was wearing black… that hadta mean something :D )
No competition will ever be enough in the Big 10 to make anyone happy after tOSU’s ever-present shitting of non-conference made beds and USC gets a free pass in the Pac 10. Even though Wiscy played like they didn’t want to be there PSU treated them as such and that says something (see Michigan and tOSU’s wonderful showings today). I would love to see PSU redeem some honor this year and screw the rest of the Big 10 in the process
Damn I want a playoff….
