Oliver Purcells. He doesn’t remotely look like Ving. That Tiger does look wired….

I imagine after this game ends Paul Johnson will call GTPD, who are long on ammo and short on things to use it on, and reporting his car’s been broken into and the stereo is stolen and a pile of cat shit is in the back seat.

Yes, JD, me too. My nerd of a hubby, God bless him, has figured it out that there is something wrong with high def ESPN. Try this: If you have a high def receiver, your standard definition channels may be hidden. Go to Menu, then display, and unhide standard def channels. Hope that helps!

I know this is about the game that Clemson apparently thought was a 7:30 central time kick, but this is too epic to ignore. In this article about preps for the OSU/USC game this weekend (http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/09/10/biggame.html?type=rss&cat=&sid=101&title=Big+crowd+for+OSU+game+prompts+special+plans+for+buses%2C+parking+garages%2C+portable+toilets) ), the following paragraph appears:
“Ohio State hopes so and says it has learned its lesson from big matchups such as the Texas game in 2005, in which cleanup crews found several soiled shorts and a few coolers filled with poop.”

When Clemson is running into the tunnel at the half, if Erin Andrews approaches them too fast they’re going to shreik and cower and clear a path towards the end zone.

@90. Paul Johnson insists on calling it the “option-based spread” and they’re too scared of him to call it the flexbone (which it is).

Paul Johnson calls his offense the spread. They run a lot of option plays from it, but it is a spread offense.

‘Spread’ is the new ‘2000’. Remember when every product was called ‘something 2000’? It no longer has any semantic content. Soon we will be hearing ‘they come out in a spread two-tight-end-full-backfield look’.
by Brock Sampson on Sep 10, 2009 8:46 PM EDT reply actions
Flexbone just refers to the alignment of the backs; they call it spread because of the O-line’s wide splits which spread the defensive front

Paul Johnson will now try to kill the clock until half. A couple series in the second half they will try to score, but then lay back and kill the clock. At least that was his typical strategy while at Navy when we got up big early.
