Meeting my friend and fellow Washington Husky season ticket holder David at the Montlake Ale House at 1:30 PST, where we’ll presumably catch the end of Bama/LSU before trudging in the rain toward an inevitable 10th loss in a row. Nice thing is, it’ll probably be over by halftime so we can go back and watch USC/Cal.

SpartanDan says:
The early show: MSU-Purdue, with an eye on Michigan-Minnesota and OSU-Northwestern
Late afternoon: Iowa-PSU, with an eye on Alabama-LSU to see who is least deserving of the massive boost they got early for beating a horribly overrated team (Clemson and Auburn, respectively)
Night game: Coach Yarrrrrr vs. Coach Man Who Is 40, with K-State-Mizzou as the backup plan (and to fill the gap after Iowa-PSU)

Orson –
I would be shocked if you cannot manage to find tickets. When I was at Vanderbilt, they were practically begging people off the street to come to the game. Hell, some of my friends who are still in Nashville have reportedly been getting into games with their old, now defunct/non-scanning student IDs.

Cameron Siggs says:
i’ll be driving up to Orlando to spend the weekend and beginning of next week with the girlfriend, who has monday and tuesday off.
Driving in the AM, so no gameday probably, then
Alabama @ LSU to witness the “let’s throw things” bowl. (i love early bowl season)
The University of Florida Gators @ Vandy, a game during which I will smoke OVER 9000 cigarettes due to it’s scary, trap-like nature. In the quiet words of Admiral Akbar, “IT’S A TRAP!!”

In Red Stick at dawn’s ass crack. Since CBS fucked us and gave us the 2:30 spot, I doubt I’ll have much time between cooking and libations to catch whatever is on early. Bits and pieces between meals, perhaps, but I can’t foul up the grillin’ to catch the three-camera wonder that is Raycom. 2:30 on it’s war time. I just hope my fellow Tigers don’t make asses of themselves when Dark Saban takes the field. Post game is the post game show on the rehdio, and once home safe in my bed, it’s the “pass out or try to put the moves on the wife” show.

@ Des Moines, IA
1. Shepherding my fiance through the MPRE (a test only useful to prove that, yes, you need to study harder for the bar).
2. LSU HATE HATE HATE MUTHAFUCKAS!!!
3. Prolly way the hell too drunk to even get it up…or, suicidal if we lose. If neither of the above, then prolly TTU v. Pokes.

12- Flipping channels furiously to consume as much football as possible
3:30- PSU/ Iowa super fun beatdown. Cry your BCS eyes out.
8- TT/OSU, praying OSU wins to further piss off Penn State detractors

Edsall is God says:
For the first time in six weeks, I will not be attending a game or drinking heavily for a noon UConn start on ESPNU. Fuckin’ Rutgers.
Noon: Louisville/Pitt is on the top of the agenda. As a Big East fan, I want to see Pitt get it together. So UConn can beat them in December.
330: Bama/LSU is the main game. Hoping for a close Penn State win to fan the flames of idiocracy about the BCS. PSU is losing to Michigan State people, don’t fret.
Night: ND/BC because I HATE BC and like ND. OSU/TxTech will take about five hours to play, so I’ll catch the end of that one. Surprised more of the country isn’t getting Cal/USC because I think USC is a fraud (no offense) and Cal may win an ugly game.

Studley says:
At HQ Control here in the Metroplex, not too far away from scenic Addison, TX (as mentioned in Post #1 by gosouthgohard). Another light schedule, but as always, chock full of the hotness in key precincts.
The main event:
Cotton Bowl Play-In Game (Bama @ LSU) – LSU probably will get to play in the final game in the stadium of the same name. Should they win it, they will be invited back to see the City of Dallas implode the stadium in 2016 after Texas-OU moves to JerryLand in Arlington (thanks a lot, Laura Miller!).
The undercard is below.
Morning Session:
Baylor @ Tex-ass
Purdue @ Michigan State
GT @ UNC
UGA @ KY
Afternoon Session:
Joe Pa @ Iowa
UVA @ Wake
Night Session:
Florida @ Vandy
Wind Turbines @ TT
Catholic Bowl (ND @ BC) – As a good little Catholic boy, it’s almost like it’s a Holy Day of Obligation for me. Almost.
Cal @ USC
On the menu: Gyros.

Trip to Sears (shoot me)

Oh, and since the high ‘n mighties at Yahoo! apparently felt that my comment to Holly’s post on Tiger Stadium (superawesome btw) was “profane,” I’ll just get it out of my system here:
asshole.

The old tried and true, golf in the am, football all afternoon. Must see games are:
Noon – tOSU @ Northwestern
3:30 – PSU @ Iowa and Alabama @ LSU
night – Ok St @ TT, ND@BC and Cal@USC
I will be flipping channels like a mofo at the hint of a delay, commercial, injury, blowout, etc…

The censorship kinda makes it funnier, cause if you type a really interesting sentence you’ll end up with something like:

Echoing the ‘It’s a trap!” sentiments from above, but on a minor key. RU v. Syracuse. I’m expecting the worst…

The issue is not my whereabouts, the issue is my wife’s whereabouts in the Bay Area visiting friends and the small people being left in my charge. I’m just writing the day games off and pinning my hopes on USC – Cal. In more ways than one.

I've Got a Herd on says:
Noon-ZZZZZZ????
Afternoon- Marshall/ECU (C-USA East title game) PSU/Iowa, Bama/LSU
Night- Why does Notre Dame/BC have to be on ESPN? Couldn’t they just not show that pathetic game and put whichever ABC game not shown locally on instead? I’d love to watch Cal/USC on top of OSU/TT and UF/Vandy. When will the rest of the country finally realize that the Fighting Irish aren’t relevant this millennium?

Graysnail says:
God help us all, I’ll actually be watching GT / UNC and not for the sheer trainwreck factor at 12, as it’s probably the “best” game on then (no thanks, Big 12). Bonus points: Cream sighting! That’ll be one hell of a blowout, but watching Cream is always worth it. Bonus points if Mack Brown tries to recruit him to transfer during halftime.
Come 3:30, it’s all about the Saban Bowl. I’ll pay some attention to PSU / Iowa and Clemson / FSU, but let’s be honest; they’re the undercards here.
7 PM and onward: listening to the Tennessee / Wyoming game, checking in madly on Cincy / WFVU and hopeful new Vol coach Brian Kelly, and other assorted chaos until Okie State / TTU take the field to burn it all to hell.

Graysnail says:
Wow, spectacular fail on my part there; I’ll be listening to the Tennessee / Wyoming game at 1, not 7. (Well, maybe I’ll listen to it again at 7, but I doubt it.)

Signal to Noise says:
Home on the couch on the West Coast as usual:
AM – A university in the State of Ohio @ Northwestern and Baylor @ Texas (want to watch the Robert Griffin)
Nooners – Bama/LSU and Penn State/Iowa
PM – ND-BC (for schadenfreude) and Cal-UCLA (because ESPN’s regionalism fucking struck again) before going to a friend’s 30th birthday party.
You know, there are people on the West Coast who want to watch Tech-OK State without ponying up for Gameplan, ESPN.
