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.

So, um just watched the end on TT-NU, does the Big 12 as a conference view D as illegal or something, because Good God, I think TT might not even be the worst D in the conference, heck OU was number one and I think MSU (Croom edition) might play better defense than they do.

Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me. If they give Notre Dame one more play and they end up winning there will be the mother of all riots in Chapel Hill. Shit, I might catch a plane down there and try to join in.

So is “The Mountain” an actual TV network, because seriously the MTN West having its own network is a bit ridiculous (Though a Non-BCS network covering all non-BCS schools with a Game of the Week and so on would be awesome, both in Football season and for B-Ball).

Big East officials trying to figure this one out in ND-UNC. Believe me, this will get screwed up but good.

Ok, my internet went down for a sec, what happened in the last 30 seconds of the UNC-ND game?

UCF is down 14-20 @ The U, with a grand total of 54 yards near the end of the game.
And there have been more punts than 1st downs.

#108 -
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.

Socraticsilence says:
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)?

BadgerMan says:
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.

BadgerMan says:
@ 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:
4th qtr – Total yards: ARK 339, AUB 83. Guess the score.

Hey, when karma’s here for instant payback… It’d be amusing to see some LSU defenders trip on their shoelaces and end up taking themselves out of the game.

OK karma, you have spotted Fla 17 points. Is that enough or do we need to produce the still beating heart of RJF?
