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.

Is the blimp theme a direct metaphor for Michigan’s season? If so, why did it take you three months to come up with it?

Can we all just agree, irrespective of race color creed political affiliation or religion, that today’s slate of games has been memorably bad?

Hey, it’s hard out here for a blimp!
Man, I wish it would snow for the UGA-GATech game. Have always wanted to go to a snow bowl.
In other news, Mr. Two Bits now in at QB for UF. Meyer also finally found a place for K. Moore and E. Moody.

Serious question: given that every conference appears to be not at its best this year, why shouldn’t both Utah and Boise go to BCS should they remain undefeated? They deserve it more than any one or more loss BCS team.

@7 – WOOOOO! (Gardner’s been missing PATs all year long; this is not new for him.)
We don’t wear a whole lot heavier than a sweatshirt most of the time. You’ll have to forgive the Mustang fans for not being acquainted with how to dress for Camp Randall.
by Signal to Noise on Nov 22, 2008 4:26 PM EST reply actions
Meg, if you saw Michigan v Utah, you wouldn’t think that. Utah isn’t that good and neither is Boise St. Is it in any way realistic to say that they’d run the Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Oklahoma St gauntlet with only 2 losses?
by Zone Left on Nov 22, 2008 4:27 PM EST reply actions
6. Serious answer: Yes. And if the Cardinals win out, they should get a berth as well if it’s simply dependent upon record. Unfortunately for all three teams, their regular opponents are the kind of teams that the more elite programs schedule as chum.
I’m all for denying the ACC and Big East their automatics this year in order to give these two a place at the table – both conferences have been just awful, and this BC-Wake game that’s on in front of me isn’t changing my mind at all.

It may be time for us to remember that we are I-AA. Plays of 39 and 17 yards on the way to a score, huh?
13-7, Poly.

GIGGETY! Fake Punt. Wild Rebel. Shitty Who coaching: 14-3 Rebs.
by Der Schatten on Nov 22, 2008 4:36 PM EST reply actions
To be fair, it took a miracle heave of a desperation pass for that 39 to start any movement. But if Clay doesn’t fumble again, he can keep this going all day.
Badgers can be gashed up the middle and are bad tacklers. Looks promising for Poly still.
Errr, heave to Barden at the goalline. Soon to be 20-7 (or 19).
by BadgerMan on Nov 22, 2008 4:38 PM EST reply actions
Barden is THE TRUTH. Dally with QB sneak, 20-7, Mustangs.

The LSU players hold up on the play? With three LSU players attempting to tackle him when he caught the ball?
If you can call a penalty on a review you surely have to call a personal foul for hitting someone calling a fair catch then

John @ 24 – It’s not all on Lee. Crowton’s play-calling and personnel substituting leaves much to be desired.
Holliday, Murphy, and the Mitchells at WR aren’t being used enough.
by Studley on Nov 22, 2008 5:00 PM EST reply actions
It’s a good start when Jordan Jefferson heaves one downfield to LaFell.
I feel bad for Lee, though. That had to hurt like hell.
by Signal to Noise on Nov 22, 2008 5:03 PM EST reply actions
Syracuse and ND are setting back college football to……..let me see……..oh yeah, last week.
As for Lee, he’s about half a count too long with his release. And Crowton DOES get in predictable ruts, which, when you are TTech, UF or Bama are OK. When the rut is 6 yard square out after 6 yard square out, not so much.

Wow, Colt McCoy plays for LSU now, AND he’s a kicker now.

Uncle Gary’s been drinkin’. There’s no other explanation for Colt David becoming “Colt McCoy.”

Well, Texas is off this week, so Colt could help out where necessary.

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?

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.

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?
