I see The Most Interesting Coach in the World is giving Spurrier all he can handle. SC 17, FAU 16 at halftime.

Well thank Tebow the whole family-in-law isn’t useless…having a lovely time watching Ole Miss/SELA with 90-yr-old grandmother-in-law. Only disadvantage—can’t cuss. And I REALLY needed to cuss that first quarter.

FSU is up 37-14 on the Mighty Mormons. Hmm, is it possible the ACC does NOT totally suck?

When do we get the hard-hitting ESPN masterpiece of investigatory journalism on how UW beating USC with Willingham’s players is racist?

@14 Shut your cabbage hole, you shanty Irish racist. The only thing worse than bigots is Catholics.
by Golden Hand on Sep 19, 2009 9:07 PM EDT reply actions
14 – yeah, the whole “Notre Dame is racist” thing has strangely quieted down now in lieu of Willingham’s tenure as UW Head Coach. I’m sure OTL is working on something…

When did Auburn lose their magical tackling abilities? Jock Sanders just scored a td in a phone booth against the Tigers.

Orson, I agree, I haven’t seen this many missed tackles in a long time, ridiculous…

What’s with the green vertical lines ESPN keeps laying on the field? I can see the hatch marks, thank you.
by Prince Lightfoot on Sep 19, 2009 9:33 PM EDT reply actions
Arkansas needs to seriously re-evaluate things if we somehow manage to win this game. When a team gives you an implosion as complete as we had in the first quarter, you’ve got no excuse not to win the game handily.
Erin Andrews with glasses FTW.

Maybe its the Big East speed that has Auburn befuddled.

When will Herbie or Mushmouth man up and call the UT-TT game offensive incompetence?

Reports of Darth Spurrier’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Gamecocks went for it on 4th and 10 at the 40 with 3 min left in a 38-16 game. They didn’t get it, but got the ball back with 15 seconds left when FAU turned it over on downs.
Spurrier sent out the backups, but called a pass play (and completion) from a 4 wide set.

The bloodbath is over in Provo. Mormons got 54 points laid on them by Bowden at home. Two BCS busters down, two to go.

Dear Coach Martinez,
It was so good of you to throw me a coming-out party on Saturday. I guess that stuff they say about “Southern Hospitality” must all be true, though I certainly didn’t expect you to be so accommodating here, in our house. Be sure and thank the guys in your secondary for me, too!
Sincerely Yours,
Ryan Mallett

Has anyone else noticed that Bill Stewart apparently had his teeth whitened this off-season?
It makes him seem less “happy-drunk” and more just happy.

Sure, I should be happy for the Rebels putting a 38-6 (sorry, now 45-6 so far) ass-whuppin on SELA. And yet I feel strangely…unsatisfied. The mini-curse of playing a Div. I-AA (oh, exCUUUUUSE me, “FCS”) team I guess.

Joe Cox is on the phone with Mike Bobo screaming “Am I doing something wrong? Are they supposed to go that far when I throw them?”

Hmm, obviously in the cost cutting measures, UGA decided to jettison teh defense
by meg on Sep 19, 2009 10:36 PM EDT reply actions
Arkansas, why run the ball against Georgia? Why should anyone ever run the ball against Georgia? Our defense is a Mike Leach wet dream.
by JoeDawg on Sep 19, 2009 10:37 PM EDT reply actions
Gosh, no defense makes everyone look fast. SEC is not great based on todays games. Thats why I base on a full season. This isn’t their night.
by Crabapple Buck on Sep 19, 2009 10:37 PM EDT reply actions
I know Bama Bangs Wilson torched this same secondary last year but what in the hell is wrong with UGA’s defense?

Just wanted to make sure this didn’t slip through the cracks:
Middle Tennessee State 32, Maryland 31.

You go wrong from the get go by calling it a “Defense”

We’re full up with North Texas, Florida International and UT-Chattanooga. Not sure we could take another patsy at this point.

Powerhouses all. With the full compliment of SoCon and Sunbelt to play, its a wonder you find time for conference games.
by Crabapple Buck on Sep 19, 2009 10:55 PM EDT reply actions
UGA and ARk both have very fast players. They are just really bad on “defense”

To your credit, you do mix in a few Conference USA teams. That qualifies as challenging yourself OOC if you’re an ESS EEE CEE team.
by JD on Sep 19, 2009 10:59 PM EDT reply actions
what is this “defense” of which you speak?
by Charm Offensive on Sep 19, 2009 10:59 PM EDT reply actions
True, but we’ve already won our OOC top 10 match-up, not to mention facing two other top 10 teams in SEC West play (how many top 10 Big 10 teams are there?).
More to the point, we’ve got a home-and-home w/ JoePa starting next year. Win your games or quit yer bitching.

“A.J. Green has just picked off another?” Doesn’t “picked off” have a pretty particular meaning, that doesn’t include “caught a pass thrown to him by a teammate?”
by Prince Lightfoot on Sep 19, 2009 11:03 PM EDT reply actions
So, the two most likely national title contenders have struggled at home against opponents they were supposed to blow out… Whataday

Even WfV is gettin the same no tackling disease. Its an epidemic.

That was an atrocious no-call on the Tech fumble. Popping the QB in the throat with your helmet is the definition of roughing the passer.

OMG TEH HUSKIES WON THE TROJANS Discuss
by seeyouinhellwillingham on Sep 19, 2009 11:16 PM EDT reply actions
Crabapple, Big Ten teams aren’t allowed to talk about OOC play. Collectively, you play about 25-30 1-AA/MAC teams a year. There will probably be a half dozen SEC teams with a tougher SOS than Ohio State’s at the end of the year.
Unrelated, but is anyone else freaked out by the new, jacked Carrot Top?

Texas Tech answers. Musberger is my fave!

When talking weak scheds, leave tOSU out of it. We have Miami the next 2 years, followed by Cal for 2, VT for 2, Oklahoma for 2 and finally Tennessee steps up for 2. OOC MAC teams, like today Toledo are usually state schools and no more 1-aa after Tress thru his old school a bone, twice. We scheduled New Mex St when the schedule expanded to 12 games. We’ll see how it shakes out at the end, but tOSU schedules real opponents. PSU is the patsy lover. Temple today for PSU. Padding JoePa’s totals 26x!
by Crabapple Buck on Sep 19, 2009 11:32 PM EDT reply actions
Nice audible out of the pooch formation by Auburn, especially when followed by bouncing the ball a yard in front of the receiver.
by The Tusk on Sep 19, 2009 11:34 PM EDT reply actions
I have always loved the late night WAC games. Last team with the ball wins, right. I don’t recall them adding Georgia and Arkansas, but Bravo, could not ask for more, winding down from the bourbon to a few beers getting ready to hit the sack.

The Ninja totally flipped out and killed Arkansas DBs left and right. Now if only Martinez could catch a rogue star.

No patsies? Just looking back to 2005 give us a different story. How could you forget Miami (OH), Akron, Northern Illinois, Ohio University, Troy, Bowling Green, San Diego State or mighty Kent State?
by The Tusk on Sep 19, 2009 11:50 PM EDT reply actions
tOSU played Texas, your eventual national champeen, lost 25-21, the only team to hold them under 40. Northern Ill had Garrett Wolfe when we played them. MAC is equivalent to the Sun Belt. This year either the MAC is better, or Colorado & Mich St are not good. Probably a little of both.

by Hanawi on Sep 20, 2009 12:12 AM EDT reply actions
Oh, a moral victory. In that case…
Not to say there wasn’t some heft to the tOSU schedule, but “tOSU schedules real opponents” is, well, 79% bullshit (15 of 19 OOC games against total shit opponents 2005-2009).
by The Tusk on Sep 20, 2009 12:19 AM EDT reply actions
Just let me say, thank you West Fucking Virginia, for bending over, grabbing your ankles, and pre-lubing for us. We appreciate it.

I am intoxicated, watched USC get Sarkisian’d, and watched Potts go out on Texas and make them shit themselves. All in all, a good birthday. But wtf Orson what happened with Flor-i-duh?

Say what you will about DickRod but I think he would have feasted on that Auburn team. WFVU wanted it even less than the Tigers did.

Here We Go Again Dept:
Again USC gets knocked out during the last minutes of a game by a ‘lesser’ Pac-10 opponent.
Just three points in the final three quarters by the USC offense that has one of the better offensive lines and running back groups in the country? Ridiculous.
Turnovers, bad playcalling, non-existant QB, blah, blah, blah, blah…
Suggestion to 60-Minutes Pete: Next time, bring in a QB (Mustain or the fourth stringer) that is not hapless and can throw AND run (Corp is still recovering from broken leg) & (Barkley’s arm is still hurt).
Unlike past years, I think USC will have a tough time getting through the rest of the schedule without another shocker.
