What the hell is with that screen door effect on the picture? Is it a photo of an LCD TV?

That should read “Florida versus Alabama in Georgia.”

After all that, I thought X was pretty brilliant

Senor O – Do I sense your ass aflame on the Oregon bandwagon?

[Note: it was actually Mark you meant, the lost Stoops brother (current Arizona DC). Mike is HC. Presumably, he’s older. ]

“Games this fun are category one narcotics, and should be banned from public consumption due to the desire to ditch work immediately and watch it again.”

I don’t think Oregon fans can take too many of those. As it is, most of us spent the Sunday at the nearest cardiologist, getting our very highly strained hearts repaired, knowing we won’t make it through the inevitable torture the biggest damn Civil War of our lives is going to put us through otherwise. These are hearts that weren’t too healthy to begin with, what with having been shredded and trounced upon in recent years, most recently at the expense of Dennis Dixon’s knee.

There were many like this author who just passed out about a half a dozen times during the game from not getting enough oxygen to my brain.

If you don’t hear back from your friends, family and acquaintances in Oregon after Dec 3, please call 911.

Jim Leavitt Head-Butting way to victory deserves honorable mention.

That’s a terrible collection of schaudenfreude. Here’s all you need:

Hey Michigan fans, which Bowl are you going to?

Now you all should know why I had hoped Michigan had hired the pinhead Les Miles when Lloyd Carr ‘retired’. He was lucky that the talent level at LSU left over from Saban was able to overcome his coaching gaffes to get to the title game in 2007. Now, w/o the talent advantage, you get to see the Miles mystique in full bloom. If you act quickly and cancel his buyout, so he can leave at anytime without penalty, UM could still dump RR for a Michigan Man. Then you could get a real coach and take advantage of the embarrassment of talent riches you have in Louisiana and surrounding states.

But as you have seen from the sign in Ann Arbor, we are OK if RichRod stays for an extended time also. One trick ponies like him are just the cure for the mark that the Cooper years have left on our collective psyche.

Sean McDonough was choked up in a previous broadcast also. He seems like a genuine person who obviously enjoyed working with Chris Spielman and also knew Stefanie well. I was touched, as was Buckeye nation, by his kind words.

Great work as always Orson. X next week is for the Xpectation level you set for the sports blogosphere that is constantly exceeded along with Holly and LSUfreek.

Hey Buck,

Talent wise, we can compete with anyone in the country. This week will be to vent for LSU fans. Tressel went through the same thing with his coaching during his losses and Miles will get his this week. He knows it, we know it, just grin and bare it.

Now, what do I think will happen. Miles will be the LSU football coach next year, and we’ll be breaking in a new OC.

Real Man of Genius Dept:

Mebbe Les Miles was a bonehead on purpose, not managing clock correctly at the end, in order to deflect from the….
…KKK BS houding the Ole Miss campus.

IT worked!

ooopss, meant to write: KKK BS hounding the campus….

WSR @7:

Agreed. I usually love Brian and Mgoblog, but methinks that anyone who’s been as vociferous a defender of all things RichRod as Brian has should not be allowed to post anything under the “Schadenfreude” banner, unless he’s doing with a heaping helping of irony.

Ghost of Mich STATE dept:

Les Miles, to atone for bonehead play, needs to bring back the ’ol:

Self-Slap (like the old coach at Mich State did to himself after losing to Notre Dame)

He let the players down and the fans. A good self-slap, would go a long way.

Here is the Oldy but Goody Missing Link:

Ok, that schadenfreude post was WAAAAAY off the mark.

Otheriwse it would have mentioned the Arizona fans jumping the walls to get to field level at Arizona Stadium… just in time for Oregon to tie up the game with :04 remaining, and to go on to win the game in 2OT.

Extra bonus points for the Arizona fan who held up a Gameday sign reading:

(Check) Kellen Clemens
(Check) Dennis Dixon
(unchecked) Jeremiah Masoli?

When actually the checkmark was filled in with: “really really hot Oregon cheerleader”

Here’s what Arizona Stadium was like Saturday night:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8EG1vwX4zY&feature=related

…looking forward to college gameday this Saturday from Gainesville. Some sign suggestions:

“If you can read this sign, you didn’t go to FSU”

“Some Teams Play To Be Bowl Eligible, Some Play For Championships”

“Bowden’s Legacy: A Losing Record To Gators”

“Hey Bobby, call Les Miles for clock management instructions.”

“Yo Noles, those things in the stands – Fans”

…or better yet (not that it could be pulled off) but have every sign there be about Bama.

How great would it be to just ignore FSU completely??? Obviously the players shouldn’t do this, but as a fan base I don’t think there could be anything more demeaning.

Is this the link you meant, AZduck?

Love the Duck Hunt sign.

The Pac-10 is better than last year, yes, but not better than the SEC. See conference comparisons across the board:

http://www.mratings.com/cf/compare.htm

LSU-Ole Miss game about to reach its fantastic climax on CBS College Sports. (If you have DIRECTV like me it’s on channel 613.) Another replay will be shown at noon Eastern time tomorrow. Set your DVRs accordingly.

If this theoretical LSU fan were to slay one of the unnecessarily famous leads from the Twilight movies, that wouldn’t be so bad, would it? I mean, sanctity of human life and all that, but if it has to be someone…

1. -

As long as it’s not Kristen Stewart. I saw Adventureland, she might actually have some talent.

Tanner @19,

I have a bridge that I’d like to sell you…

Pac 10 schools have been doing the Duck Hunt thing for years now.

Tanner @ 19:

Florida and Alabama are only unbeaten and so highly ranked because they play such weak schedules. If they played in the Pac 10 they’d most likely have lost 2-3 games by now.

Tanner: I’m looking at that and see a team in the bottom half of the Pac-10 (sixth-place Arizona) ahead of the sixth-highest SEC team (Auburn).

Do not confuse “the conference that the best team belongs to” with “the best conference”. Florida and Alabama are better than anyone in the Pac-10, but there’s a big, big dropoff to the rest of the SEC, while the Pac-10 has quality depth.

I can’t wait to see what you guys have to say about this tomorrow:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4684326

FSU…I can’t stop giggling everytime I hear the name

Mr. Dizzle- i was hoping the ND puppets (faux muppets?) would show up on that news item.

@9 I don’t know which is funnier: LSU fans finally realizing that having Les Miles for a coach is like Dave Chappelle’s “Chillin with Wayne Brady” skit in which everything you thought you knew about the guy was wrong, or the “Grin and bare it”* remark that makes you sound like a reluctant but dedicated flasher.

LSU fans – home of “Bat-shit Crazy”

*"Bear" as in bear a burden, not “Bare” as to reveal.

Sup, lawya. Nice alphabetical, but a football is a prolate spheroid. An oblate spheroid is Earth-shaped, bulging around the equator, yo.

@2 No, that’s actually the way ESPN2’s crack team described the SEC picture in their pregame. Mark Jones was an able foil for Bob Davie’s insightful ongoing analysis of Georgia’s coaching staff.

Nice catch, Orson.

OK, not a SEC homer, but I am a bit skeptical regarding the Pac 10’s supposed “depth”. How much of their current Pac 10 rankings is due to having wins against illustrious USC who obviously have a enormous halo effect considering their poll ranking after the Oregon loss to Stanford? I know that its hard to gauge with the 9 conference games, but honestly, if one removes the top two in both conferences, is the Pac 10 with Arizona, OSU, Cal, USC, UCLA really better than Arkansas, Ole Miss, LSU, Auburn, S. Carolina? More of a wash than Pac 10 dominance.

Is the Pac 10 better that years previous, sure it is, but world beaters? Ehhhh.

It’s a combination of the Pac 10 being up and the SEC being down. Besides Alabama and Florida nobody looks very good in the SEC. And considering the mass of cupcakes the SEC schedules for non-conference games those two schools might (or might not) be vastly overrated.

It’s just fun to have a year when the Pac 10 can have some basis to counter the usual SEC chest thumping. Conference arguments are never actually based on reality since there is so little data and conferences have different set-ups and different numbers of members.

How much of the Florida and Alabama ranking is due to having wins against…oh, wait…

Ditto every other conference…
