OPEN THREAD, TRACY FLICK MODE
Just repeat it with us because you mean it:
Dear Lord Jesus, I do not often speak with you and ask for things, but now, I really must insist that you help me win the GAME OF CHOICE today because I deserve it and THOSE EVIL TROGLODYTES don’t, as you well know. I realize that it was your divine hand that SMOTE THAT TEAM I HATE and now I’m asking that you go that one last mile and make sure to put me in THE SWEET GRASP OF VICTORY where I belong so that I may carry out your will on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
Unleash your inner Tracy Flick today and have a blast. We would say more, but we won’t continue without our attorney present. Would you like a cupcake?

At least Leach is using proper scientific procedure. In the control group we now know what happens when the Tech offense encounters the movable object.

Quandry – what’s worse?
Watching Texas Tech or Florida sleepwalk through the closing minutes of a blowout or following the “close game, worth watching” logic of the Pam Ward 11 a.m. Cocktail?
Alarmingly absent from this vanilla affair is Indiana or Northwestern.

Godfrey,
I myself have gone to the BTN, I want to see Northwestern end up in a New Year’s Day bowl.

Can’t tell if it was KSt, or TT playing a game of catch-me.

As a Texas fan, I have some anxiety about the game today against T. Boone’s team but next week against Tech gives me the nervous bowl syndrome.

BadgerMan,
Despite the plethora of points, Oklahoma is up by “only” 27, so I’m wondering if anyone has ever scored half-a-hundred in the first half but gone on to lose.

If Wisky holds on, The Big Ten might be gunning for the ACC Laugh at Logic Award this week. That doesn’t bode well for the Nittany Lions…

Rich Brooks thinks that all this UF scoring is BULLSHIT!
And Saban better take time for this shit as Bama is probably gonna be facing Florida in the SECCG.

BadgerMan says:
@58 – That’s not really the case. Wisconsin put all their eggs in this week’s basket. This was as much of as a must-win as it can get for a team like this. Revenge game, save-your-bowl-season game, save-your-coach game, B.A. got involved, Halloween-weekend home game (don’t underestimate this one).
There’s a reason ILL was favored by less than a FG.

Happy Halloween Big 10+1 !

The Gators are doing their best USC impression so far this season :
1 – look better than you probably are early
2 – lose inexplicably
3 – salt the earth with bones of remaining opponents
Wouldn’t it be fun to have an SEC entrant in the ‘playing better than anyone right now‘ year-end sweepstakes?

I really wish the AJC would’ve let Uncle Tony go to the studio this week with Brando, because nothing would be better than an open-handed slap to the face to old Timmy if UGA were to win.

May I have your attention please: Minnesota is now 7-1. I am going to now go drink myself retarded just to make sure this is really happening. If I die, it’ll be worth it because it is (was?) reality.

Was thinking about trying to place some calls down to Auburn to arrange some girl-girl spit-swappin’…but, uhhh, NW lost today. Dammit!

This should have been the intro:

Safety in Gainesville as the snap rolls through the punter’s legs. So Florida’s special teams have scored 40% of Kentucky’s points, and almost as many as the Wildcats’ offense.

The odd-numbered yardline markings are indeed cool.
And holy crap, UGA just scored on an int. return.

Jarrett Lee throws a pick six on the first play of the game. What a way to start, buddy.

Mr. Pick-Six strikes again. I guess he wasn’t happy that he wasn’t throwing them quickly enough.

So, uh, Jarrett Lee is still the best option LSU has under center? I doubt that.

RJF's groin muscle says:
The pick-6 by J Lee was a designed play. he plays like shit until he throws one, then plays well the rest of the game. Mad Lester just decided to get it out of the way early.

playitforward says:
@61…True enough. However, if you would have tried to make the case at noon, you would have been lacking evidence, that was my point. The 71st ranked offense comes in and scores 27 after opening the Big Televen season 0-fer. The motivational points you’ve raised were clearly at play today.
October 25th, 2008 at 2:49 pm

Studley says:
Steve Shaw’s crew doesn’t miss too many calls. They did miss the Face Mask, however.
At least that didn’t prevent the TD to tie the game.

Orson, the new name for Florida’s offense has to be the R(ainey) & D(emps) Department’s Quantum Wing. And Percy Harvin is the Division of Hurt and/or Higgs Bosons.

Michigan got a touchdown because their wide receiver, stepping out of bounds at the pylon, stepped on the pylon on the way out, which was part of the field, and thus in bounds. Brain. Incinerated.
