Shake off the cobwebs of a largely abysmal morning slate of games and strap on your fighting shoes, campers---it's go time. And by "go", we mean "drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight".

@OrangeGator and Graysnail: at least next year ESPN will be inundated with crappy SEC games instead of Big Televen games that should be on the Big 10 Network in the first place.
SEC bottom-feeders are much more entertaining.
The insistence on Oregon-Cal this week and UCLA-Cal the week before in the 12:30 ABC slot is understandable, but there’s only so much Terry Gannon and David Norrie one can listen to without falling asleep. I have never come across a more boring pair of college football announcers.

Gary, no calling Matthew Stafford a gunslinger. This only leads to noting that he’s having a lot of fun out there, and we still have to get rid of the first Favre…..

To be fair – ACC teams have decided the only way to block our DL is to just tackle them, and ACC refs have spent the entire season looking away. It’s like there is a directive that says “don’t call holding because we need offense in this league”. Getting a holding call is something to celebrate.

no. There will be UGA fans that complain about the crappy officiating (and it certainly was crappy), and there will be fans that point toward Stafford’s funny bone act’n funny. Just like there are [Insert your university here] fans that will point at excuses for any loss.
Yup, there were gator fans that complained last year. Those of us that took it like a man didn’t say anything, so you didn’t hear us.
But obviously you’ll take the high road on your beating and not use cliche’s like ’Urban Crier" etc.

Considering the situation, that defense was absolutely indefensible. The CB didn’t get a bump, then got beaten deep to the sideline, knowing Tech had to stop the clock quickly. I don’t have any idea at all what the safety was doing. He was late to the play and . . . didn’t even attempt to make a tackle. My god, that was simply unspeakably bad.

Crabtree, is like the AWESOME and all that, but Harris has a very good point: when he has to get out of bounds to stop the clock, how do you not get an arm on him to delay him from making a move? Just awful.

by BadgerMan on Nov 2, 2008 12:05 AM EDT reply actions
…one minor point for Signal to Noise:
As long as Crabtree had pushed the route past the 1st down marker, it wouldn’t matter if you jammed him; because the clock stops while the chains reset, Tech would have had plenty of time to call the TO and kick the FG.
Picking nits, I know— but unless it’s a 4 or 5 second jam (something nearly guaranteed to get you a 15 yard flag), the lack of a jam is a tactical error, rather than an unforgivable mistake.

Gideon’s gotta be sick with himself for not making the INT. That would have been the Pontiac Game-Changing Moment instead of the Crabtree TD.
