Fowler led with a Cherry Poppin' Daddies joke, which we're choosing to interpret as a sullen refusal to put on a good show in a horrible site choice. We're with you, C-Fow. STRAP IN FOR ACTION.

Does DVRing Gameday count towards its nielson ratings? They should be at Joe Robbie so I can hear shots popping behind corso.
by Boycott on Oct 3, 2009 10:34 AM EDT reply actions
So, I’m thinking a) The Gameday sites are pre-determined or b) They had the Helfrich piece in the can and hyped the shit out of it so some douche nozzle thought it would be great to have the show in Boston. Either way they suck and they’re still playing “We’re Comin and We’re Shitty” which is what I will hear when I get to the 7th circle of hell.

That gameday site is pretty grim. Take away the signs and they could be at a Politburo funeral.

@ Brizzle
No.
They were going down to Miami until, according to Herbie, the VPI debacle, so they went looking around.
Again, according to Herbie, they looked at UGa/LSU but it did not have the “pop,” which is code for, we will avoid going to non-Disney games if at all possible.
After that, is Tennessee/Auburn really a compelling game? Does anyone care about either of these two schools in their battle for a berth in the Music City Bowl, with the loser going to Shreveport?
The BC LB’s story is a nice touch, and ESPN can focus on that while sticking with a Disney game, so everyone, in their minds, win.

This Gameday is insufferable. It’s like they mated the normal show with a very special episode of Blossom, and this was the result.

In a moment of seriousness (just one, and briefly) I now understand why Gameday is at BC. This Herzlich story is special and not in the fake"awww we played some piano music and greased the lense with vaseline" kind of special that ESPN usually tries to pull.

Clemson’s radio guys just observed that a noon kick means that a big game for Spiller means folks will be seeing the highlights all day long, thus giving his Heisman campaign a boost….
by The Gurgling Cod on Oct 3, 2009 11:16 AM EDT reply actions
I can’t imagine what could possibly make anyone with a functioning brain stem believe that
BC-FSU is more interesting than OU-Miami. Take away Herzlich — who, I have to add, will not play — and there is no reason at all to give two shits about this game.
But they’ve got Matt Millen! . . . I don’t know why. Maybe he’ll get the chance to torpedo a college program now.
by Harris on Oct 3, 2009 11:22 AM EDT reply actions
I don’t know if Merritt is on the air, I don’t listen to the Clemson pregame, but I would shoot him in the face if it would not land me in prison for the rest of my life.
As for SDF fan, I generally have no compassion for, well, anyone, but the BC LB story is inspiring, and hopefully it will be so to the guy watching who just got the same diagnosis. He does not deserve special praise for beating cancer just because he is a talented football player, but stories like these are wonderful for the people, and their family and friends, who have cancer.
Also, the Margaritaville portable grill looks like a POS. While I applaud Buffett for trying to squeeze every nickel out of his terrible music, if you are going to suck you might as well make a financial killing off your suck, I do not foresee this venture ending well for him.
by Coop on Oct 3, 2009 11:26 AM EDT reply actions
@7: Say what you want about the venue, but if you didn’t get a little misty-eyed when Herzlich said he was cancer-free and the whole crowd erupted for him, I don’t think you’re human.
Plus, read up on Ewing’s Sarcoma. It’s nasty, nasty. You’re lucky to live through it, and even luckier not to lose your limb because of it.

Pedialyte is pretty much a cure all, as has been stated. Just stock up on that at CVS before you go out, maybe chug one bottle of it to get a head start, and then have it at the ready for tomorrow morning and you, sir, should be good to go.

Kentucky only lost to Alabama by 18 points. They should have lost by much more. This means that it was Kentucky’s game plan to slow Alabama down. They meant to do that. Rich Brooks is garnering respect around the SEC because of this game. Kentucky must have a great defense. I predict great things for Kentucky in the future.

UW had a 4th and goal FG attempt, personal foul on ND (lol roughing the snapper) and UW STILL failed to get a TD. My non-football-watching GF says it is the “school of the deaf playing the school of the blind”.

I hope these officials are leaving the game in an armored car. Otherwise they’re going off the road in flames.

@149: The refs aren’t trying to give the game to LSU. They’re instead being paid by Jim Delaney to be as big of a cockblock as possible.

WOW. Scott busted that play like Riggins did in Super Bowl XVII.

Refs take a touchdown away from Ewe-Dub, and the Huskies can’t make a half a yard on three chances, a lucky personal foul call on ND, and another three chances.
I can’t watch!

@ TampaGatorGal
Figured Doug running wrapped in the UGA flag was gonna happen. Hope you’re right, maybe sobriety left him many hours ago…

The refs are just sucking all of the fun out of this game (from an impartial observers standpoint)

@clean kick- i just hope there’s PHOTOS! and it’s a far better thought than his handgun scenario…

Dear LSU,
Enjoy the rest of your schedule. You are f#cked.

I will kill a ref and i should not be punished. Because referees don’t have souls. Therefore it is not murder.

Every year, 12,000 referees are seriously injured, maimed, or killed.
With your donation, we can double than number.

Have you ever seen a more terrible penalty than the two at the end of the UGA-LSU game? WTF, over?
by Brizzle on Oct 3, 2009 7:04 PM EDT reply actions
With any other team, ND’s 2-pt. conversion forward progress would have been blown dead.
by softbatch on Oct 3, 2009 7:06 PM EDT reply actions
“This is the stuff of Notre Dame Legend?”
I guess when you have sucked for so long and you are beating UW, then that comment may make some sense.
by roaminggator on Oct 3, 2009 7:07 PM EDT reply actions
The refs really took a shit all over the end of that game.
And now it looks like ND is going to try and steal one from Washington.
by JD on Oct 3, 2009 7:07 PM EDT reply actions
Interesting note, ND just scored to go ahead against washington and celebrated enough to almost punch the ref, with no penalty
by dawgtree on Oct 3, 2009 7:07 PM EDT reply actions
and Here Come the HYPE for the FL vs. LSU game…i still think we could start Brantley. this game was some serious slop. of course, LSU will be especially hyped to be @ home. oh boy- will be SO drunk next week.

Congratulations AJ Green, you’ve just been Locker’ed!
As a divisional foe of Jawja, I should be happy, but that was inexcusable. The makeup call on LSU only confirmed the guilt of the officiating crew.

I will be severely disappointed if those refs are ever able to walk out onto a football field a again.

Here come the Huskies! In field goal range with 22 seconds to go and a timeout in the pocket.

If the 100% profane post I just left gets through, forget it. That was an incompletion.

Boy the disappointment in the Announcers’ voices in that interception review is profound.
by roaminggator on Oct 3, 2009 7:13 PM EDT reply actions
Celebration penalties should only be called when anyone on the scoring team indecently (or even decently) exposes themselves.
by A Clean Kick to the Facemask on Oct 3, 2009 7:15 PM EDT reply actions
@ 179: Oh, that is utter bullshit. Evidently you didn’t see Reggie Bush push Matt Leinart into the endzonne in Notre Dame Stadium. Shut your fucking hole.

Oops. I meant 170. 179, you’re on notice. Just because.
by Harris on Oct 3, 2009 7:17 PM EDT reply actions
This LSU team reminds me of 2001 tOSU. Just struggling through the season winning every game in an ugly dysfunctional fashion. Next up, the Gators, where they will somehow stay within a TD til late in the 4th quarter when they win it on some bizzaro defensive play.

Everyone, let’s concentrate…..don’t let that fat fuck Weis and his little boy toy crash the BCS and keep out a deserving team…..OHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM

I don’t care how this game ends anymore, I’m going to get on a plane from Portland to

OK, when a receiver is upside-down 10 feet in the air and the ball is at your eye level, rip it out guys.

Whoa, Wash receiver looked knocked out at the end of the play. He hit the ground with his arms locked in the ’fencing" position. Hope the kids alright.

I’m going to go ahead and say it: Jimmy Clausen is gay

Am I the only one that noticed the receiver from UW unconscious and stiff like he just got punched by a UFC fighter? The announcers sure didn’t notice.
by Brizzle on Oct 3, 2009 7:35 PM EDT reply actions
If SEC officials had been calling the UW/ND game, there would have been at least 3 celebration penalties.
by roaminggator on Oct 3, 2009 7:36 PM EDT reply actions
Here is comes. They’re comparing ND to Ohio State’s NC team in 02.
by roaminggator on Oct 3, 2009 7:37 PM EDT reply actions
Four fourth quarter drives in four weeks. If he is gay, he’s the baddest fag on the face of the earth and there are at least 110 programs who’d kill to have him. If he keeps doing this, he can have my ass any day of the week. But they still need to fire Weis.
by Harris on Oct 3, 2009 7:38 PM EDT reply actions
For fucksakes, will someone shut that jabbering asshat Holtz up?
by Meth crazed hobo on Oct 3, 2009 7:39 PM EDT reply actions
That celebration call on AJ Green was bogus, but Jesus, perspective. If Mike Bobo could muster up an offensive performance worthy of Mississippi State, it would’ve been a non-issue.
UGA will continue to be a signature win on the schedule of any team looking to make a national impact until Richt stops treating the program like an internship program for his incompetent friends. Dan Hawkins should be licking his chops for 2010!
by JoeDawg on Oct 3, 2009 7:39 PM EDT reply actions
I switched to the ND game after the LSU-UGA so i didn’t see this until just now on the recap, but isn’t it illegal to “push” a player on your team that is carrying the ball? Because that’s exactly how ND scored one of their TDs.
Similar to the controversial TD a couple years ago when USC scored in similar fashion…in South Bend, no less.
by haybeav on Oct 3, 2009 7:41 PM EDT reply actions
The UW/ND game makes me not want to watch college football anymore. I can’t stand a thing that includes Notre Dame in it.
by Gihyou on Oct 3, 2009 7:42 PM EDT reply actions
198- If competent officials had been calling the UW/ND game, there would have been a 15 yard spearing call on the final play.
by chg on Oct 3, 2009 7:43 PM EDT reply actions
Section 3, Article 2b of the NCAA rule book states that, “[t]he runner shall not grasp a teammate; and no other player of his team shall grasp, push, lift or charge into him to assist him in forward progress.”
Fuck Weis that fat fuck.

Straight outta Crompton! But it’s Kiffin’s game plan to keep things close and slow them down. Works’ every time.

Blah, blah, blah. Is LSU ranked #4 in the country? Did Notre Dame score more points than Washington? Did they win the game? Yes. Yes, they did. Now shut your mouth and go get your fucking shine box.

You’re the one that brought up other games…mighty touchy. It’s probably hard to type with Clausen’s nuts in your mouth getting a reacharound from Dr. Lou, but you pull it off nicely.

Harris – you of all people are thankful for the Pro-Notre Dame Media Coverage. It calms your fears and helps you ignore the stark reality of how bad you have been, and will continue to be. Go ahead and respond to get it out of your system.

Who’s your team, son? I’m willing to bet you’d be goddamn happy to give Jimmah a rusty trombone.

The pro-Notre Dame media. That would be the obviously crazy Lou Holtz and . . . ?
The reporters that don’t have them ranked? ESPN, which sits Holtz next to Mark May,
a man who wouldn’t cheer for Notre Dame if the lives of his children depended on it? ND is a hollow 4-1 and I have no illusions about that. They’ve been escaping teams they should pound and I will dance for joy when the send Weis packing. But they’ve gutted out improbabl wins for three straight weeks and sick and goddamn tired of all the bullshit excuses and whining every goddamn time they win.

You may love ND, you may hate ND. But Golden Tate is batshit insane. It didn’t take much of watching that game to figure that out.
(oh, and also, UDub, you may want to cover him a little bit. just sayin)

Tommy Kilborne needs to have a talk with Harris. He is not behaving in a manner that is becoming of a Notre Dame man.

Well, if you stand there long enough, Doug will probably shoot you. Jumping is a really inexact method of committing suicide. But I don’t want you going to the great beyond worrying about me, so we’re a-ok.
