Between us, the crackerjack EDSBS staff amassed a grand total of 2.5 hours sleep last night, so this should be grand. Ready? Go.

For y’all not so privileged as to get Peachtree TV, let me sum up Georgia-Vandy thus far. Both teams have transferred to the ACC Atlantic, and are fighting it out for 3rd in the division. Washaun Ealey is resembling Herschel Walker…no, sorry, I meant Hershel Schachter). If only Georgia had a big-play receiver they could throw to on 3rd and 10, they might be able to overcome the mighty Commodore defense.

This is the sloppiest Red River Shootout I’ve seen in a long time. The only good that will come out of it is Colt McCoy’s official elimination from the Heisman race.

All these turnovers is worse than watching a Big East game.
by I'm A Lasagna Hog on Oct 17, 2009 2:05 PM EDT reply actions
This is like watching a Big Ten game, except Iowa and Wisconsin has managed to be more interesting. So it’s even worse than watching a Big Ten game.
Cincinnati and Iowa for the NCG. Book it.

In the event of a tie, there will be no over time in the Red River Shootout. Sam Bradford already won the Challenge, 4-1 on GameDay. #lameasssegments

Why in the hell would you kick a field goal when you’re down 23-7 in the fourth quarter? That was worthless.

If the Noon UGA/Vandy game (currently End of 3Q) runs into ND/SC and the local NBC affiliate doesn’t switch, I have just cause to, as they say, “shoot the place up”, right?

To clarify, I meant shoot the affiliates’ offices up, not my own home.

He’s also wondering who on his staff recruited “this Pryor kid.”

Peyton Manning shaking his head on the sideline of the Texas-Oklahoma game says a great deal about the offensive play of this game.
by Alaska Hokie on Oct 17, 2009 3:43 PM EDT reply actions
I have finally seen the light. Tressel may have coached his worst game ever. Too many bad plays to count. All that talent and we were never put in a postion to succeed. Since we have reached rock bottom, we can quit digging. The Big Ten will be lucky to be 1-6 in bowls this year. The conference is at an all-time low. MAYBE a Big Ten team can beat a MAC team in Detroit.

The nation is welcome!! Pryor and Tressel have decided that they would rather spend new years day in Columbus this year..However Columbus is lovely that time of year…
We were on borrowed time…it was only a matter of time when our lack of offense caught up to us….damn the Defense and Special teams for not scoring 21pts! Damn! Damn! however I thought with Tressels aggresive playcalling we could have gotten back in it!! (sigh, with sarcasm)

Third fumble. UF’s offense has teamed up with Arkansas to try to beat the UF defense. Who will win is still in doubt.
by cantcatchuf on Oct 17, 2009 4:46 PM EDT reply actions
I swear to you I have never cheered for the Sooey Pigs before but I am today.
During the Texas game one of the commentators made a total valid point, which ruined me. Something along the lines of, as long as Texas keeps winning, they’ll play for the championship because Bama and Florida will knock one of themselves out in Atlanta.
Whilst I knew that, it saddened me to have it reiterated. Keep the Miller Lite cold and keep it comin’.
Also, am I the only one sick shitless of hearing the Tebow-fellating? He is not the Christ Child.
by SabanNation on Oct 17, 2009 4:48 PM EDT reply actions
Also, how the hell is Tebow going to have more rushing yards than the entire Arkansas team? HE WILL NOT SMITE YOU DOWN JUST TACKLE THE SUMBITCH AND TAKE THE BALL.
Gah. Seriously.
by SabanNation on Oct 17, 2009 4:52 PM EDT reply actions
What are the odds Urban takes over the play-calling duties at some point in the next few weeks? 50%? 75%? That is a constipated offense if I ever saw one.
by JD on Oct 17, 2009 4:54 PM EDT reply actions
Orson may end up burning down that entire hotel by the time this game is over.
by JD on Oct 17, 2009 5:06 PM EDT reply actions
JD – I know a constipated offense. It goes by the name of Ohio State. When it gets that bad, call me. I’ll be in the fetal position in the corner with my thumb in my mouth.
by Crabapple Buck on Oct 17, 2009 5:31 PM EDT reply actions
The only reason I would want to see Florida win is because I don’t want to see Tebow crying during the post game press conference during every Gameday for the next 3 months.
If Tebow were able to receive royalties from that clip from last year, he could retire now.
by Tyler on Oct 17, 2009 5:31 PM EDT reply actions
Tebow won’t cry after another upset. He’ll sit at the mic and say “fuck it guys, this team’s cursed.”
It seems like they just don’t want to have an undefeated season.

That was a stupid timeout by Arkansas, letting the Gators center the ball before trying the field goal.

Anyone read Orson’s Maple Street Press analysis on how Miami and USC failed to repeat in the championship? They had a close regular season game that was nearly an upset.
Florida will not repeat this year.

I personally think that UGA should try to give the ref crew food poisoning right before the Cocktail Party just to even the playing field.
by Meg on Oct 17, 2009 7:09 PM EDT reply actions
1.) At what age are you too old to play NCAA sports, and
2.) Why does Arkansas’ kicker look like what would happen if Edward James Olmos and Lou Diamond Philips had a baby?
Because the same kicker (Tejada) looks like he’s at least 38, and he can’t fuck around with a late game because he has to be at work by 10pm. Kids to feed and all.

….what a BULLSHIT FUCKING CALL on USC.
by Mich-Placed Gator on Oct 17, 2009 7:16 PM EDT reply actions
Early line on The Narrative:
Texas-OU was sloppy and showed that no one in the Big 12 is particularly good. McCoy is average and out of the Heisman race.
Florida-Arkansas was sloppy and showed just how hard it is to win every week in the SEC. What a clutch, gritty performance by Tebow to get his team in a position to win. Just reaffirms how he’s the best player to ever play the college game.

- Shoulda put that 30.00 on AR-Kansas Orson.
- In the future all sec refs will carry mini-bottles of KY gel in their belt for those times they think it necessary to ass rape a team threatening, and in the process of beating, a top ranked team.
- God help Houston Dale Nutt, AKA: El Dorko. The Hogs will roll into Ox-tard read to bite nails and piss lead in his general direction after the screw over they just got.
- If you could fly a banner over the SEC Officiating Offices, what would it say? Florida fans are excluded as we all know it would read: “THANK YOU”.

Beamer punted on 4th and 3 from GT’s 35 yard line (and ended up giving up a touchback anyway) in the 1st quarter. That single play was a microcosm of the game. Beamer coached down, Johnson coached up, GT won.
