SECOND SHIFT: BLIMPIN’ AIN’T EASY
LSU’s defense remains porous!
Sing GIGGITY TOUCHDOWN in chorus!
The Orangemen and Irish faux-grapple!
Behold the Cup of the Crapple!
Michigan State and PSU shiver!
Rx: apply booze to the liver!
This is the open thread for the second shift, where you continue to fail to realize the gravity of the situation.

Fuck I hate being right. Fuck firing Charlie Weis. They need to slaughter his fat fucking ass and feed him to goddamn goats. And, again, fuck you all.

Not to distract from the ND/Gerg finale, nor the Crapple-tastic overtime game,but Wisconsin is losing to Cal-Poly in the 4th.
Yes….I said Wisconsin is losing to Cal-Poly.

Two WR drops on deep bombs, and Wisconsin turns it over at midfield down 8.
Badgers got ‘Stanged!

Way to go Wisconsin, using a timeout on offense when you might need that on D in a minute…

damn. Crapple Bowl 2008 is over. Oh well, rush the field WSU fans!!!! You just beat a team that is 0-11 you fucktards!
Huskies fans, might I recommend an evening with some cheap red wine whilst listening to the entire Morrissey catalog….

Now we get to see some tosses to Ramses the Great in the last 2 minutes.

@59 – the only decided schematic advantage Pear Bryant gives a team is ’round the buffet table.
Hilarious. Will U-Dub complete a winless season? Please, let this happen.
And Camp Randell is probably gonna see some OT.

LOL Notre Dame!!!!
Also, I guess someone realized that they HAD to win the Crapple Bowl.
Duke leads VT. Go Blue Devils!!!!

No fucking way. BTNa channel (televising Badger game) cuts off at 5:30pm prompt. No notice, just a DTV off-air screen.
I’m billing DTV for the time it took me to find the main BTN channel and pray is was switched to coverage there. Does $120 seem reasonable?

And everyone that had a 29-29 regulation score in this week’s Wisc-Poly game – winnar.
Good thing for OT. Ramses the Great got to extend his TD catch streak.

Jesus. Another blown extra point, and that’ll be it for Poly.

Hey, Ellerson: why not pull an accurate kicker from the soccer team to do PATs, huh?
Poly would have won the game with those two extra points.

BadgerMan says:
Man I feel like shit for Cal-Poly now. And I want to kick the hell out of every Wisconsin player that took their helmet off and took off screaming and running after the PAT for the win.
Let’s not mention the HC Al Bundy saying it was a hell of an effort from his Defense preparing for this offense.
How fitting that I went through 5 Badger/Wisconsin TShirts and only when I donned my old-school Brewers T did they pull out the comeback.
Hell, I want to go cheer for the Mustangs in the FCS playoffs now.

P.S. You stay classy, Mark Dantonio. Calling two timeouts in a row with 10 seconds left when you’re down by 31 and then encouraging your players to incite the Penn State crowd, real good.

Here’s what I want to see: Tell Mike Leach that ND is hosting a pirate film festival. Then, when he shows up on campus to catch “Captain Blood,” you hit him in the head, stuff him in a bag and put him on a plane to the Vatican. When you get there tell him, “Take what you want.” Roof of the Sistine Chapel in your office? Done. Sainthood? You can be the patron saint of pirates and football coaches. Pope? Hey, we never really liked Ratzenberger anyway. $20 million in gold coins and a saucy wench with flashing eyes and a sharp saber? You want a brunette or a redhead?

Well at least UGA had a reason to be underrated. They lost 18 players to season ending injuries and a buttload of starters missed plenty more games in addition.
