Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

ALL HAIL THE ALPHABETICAL!

The Alphabetical is up and running over at SBNation. Inspect it in all its semi-coherent glory, since it took unusually long on very little sleep to produce. No, no. No lingering effects from Las Vegas whatsoever besides a hacking cough, 200 bucks in winning, and the inability to type any faster than fifty words a minute in between long stretches of staring at the screen blankly.

David-Hasselhoff-drunk

We now think, in retrospect, that David Hasselhoff handled that moment quite well. We woke up with an olive stuck in our chest hair on Sunday after destroying a tuna nicoise sandwich in a sleep-deprived moment the previous evening. This is why you eat with a shirt on, kids, even when you're drunk. A manpelt is NOT a takeout container.

“The pass interference call was a judgment call.”

Um . . . which one? The one they called . . or the one they didn’t? Oh, and what about the bad spot? Or the double standard for excessive celebration? Or the field goal after the clock ran out?

The statement is nonsensical—unless you are using the term “judgment call” to suggest it could reasonably go either way. That’s not what the words mean, but I’ve heard and read that usage before. If that’s the point you’re trying to make, it says more about your judgment than anything else you could write.

I’m not a Hawg fan, but every time I think about the way that went down, I get a little nauseous.

It means it was close enough to go either way reasonably. We wouldn’t be incensed by that call, because pass interference at a certain point is in the eye of the beholder. The celebration call was insanity.

Two fancy seafood dishes in one post? You must’ve won more than $200. I didn’t watch any college football this weekend (except for Sportscenter) since I was at a wedding and also had my phone off. About every hour I’d have this empty feeling I couldn’t quite describe. In retrospect, I think I was feeling the hole in my heart where my red-faced vein-in-the-forehead screaming-at-the-teams/coaches/non verne lundquist-commentators-in-front-of-in-laws rage usually hangs out on Saturdays. I miss you rage. Pick you up this Saturday at 8/7pm central?

ps. Does this mean that all the features are going to slowly migrate over to the main SBNation website? Are you breaking up with us?

No. The Alphabetical’s going over there, as well as a new Wednesday set of Power Rankings.

So is it good or bad that pretty much everything to do with the Gators this season threatens to test the internet’s capacity for towering self-righteous outrage?

I’m thinking good, if it makes pompous pricks like #2 nauseated.

Agree the unsportsmanlike was a bad call (as the league has said), disagree with the idea that it had any bearing whatsoever on the outcome of the game. It happened on 1st and 10 from the 21, after Florida was gashing them on that drive even without the (correct) PI penalty. Besides, Arkansas gets the ball back with 7:27 to play and misses a FG, then gives up a 14-play, 70-yd drive for the game-winner. Boo-freaking-hoo.

Me outraged? I’m just a little sad that a few extra HD cameras are making the game look like Wrestlemania 13.

I’m sure I’ll get past it, but let the record reflect that UF “officially” won that game. Should they drop a game before the SEC Championships, they’ll still have a chance to play for an OFFICIAL National Championship.

@7

You think the SEC is rigged, but you’re not outraged?

No call that was made was an actual game decider (ala Miami/OSU ‘02), and therefore you can’t start talking about “official” or any other crap like that.

Don’t let me stop your conspiracy ramblings, though. Your self-righteous tears sustain me.

by JL on Oct 19, 2009 6:25 PM EDT reply actions  

I don’t think it’s rigged in any way. I also didn’t think baseball was rigged because Maddox got a bigger strike zone?

And I’ll apply my own calculus for application of the"official" moniker, thank you very much. Feel free to criticize my choice and extend the nature of the discussion to your disadvantage.
