Because we care: a liveblog will scroll its lazy way down the internets during the Tennessee/LSU game. For the record, we’re taking Tennessee, if only because we can’t imagine the Vols playing as badly as they have three games in a row.
Stranko: 7:34 EST. The games hasn’t kicked off and I’ve already hit my limit on “the game isn’t important its just a welcome diversion” talk. Look, we already know this, but let’s face it, we put too much importance on sports, especially college. That is who we are and we should just be okay with it rather than pretend that “its not that important.” Also, I say LSU wins. We shall see.
Stranko: 7:38 EST. The crowd is in force and ready to rumble… Is Tennessee? We’ll know after the review of the kickoff fumble.
Stranko: 7:42 EST. Well, I can see why Fulmer is so in love with Ainge and has benched Claussen. He secretly hates Tennessee fans. Nice fumble followed by a quick strike by Addai.
Stranko:7:40 EST. Tennesee’s ball, now let’s see if their gameplan is as bad as last week.
Orson: 7:44 EST. Ainge follows in a long tradition of gawky white qbs who turn over the ball at inopportune times at Tennessee. Addai gets that first carry and cuts back with velvety feet wayyyy too smooth for a guy who looks like the Devil’s Bouncer. TD, LSU.
Stranko: 7:48 EST. Orson, it looks like your Costanza powers have affected the Vols. They look rattled.
Stranko: 7:50 EST. Holy Shit… they can’t do anything right. That was a big pass to drop.
Stranko: 7:51 EST. In defense of Tennessee… how tough is it to go from the Swamp to the Bayou. They are probably the toughest two places to play in the country. Even a sophisticated offense like Boise might be affected by that.
Stranko: 7:53. Aren’t blond sideline reporters supposed to be hot?
Orson: 7:54. Speaking of raw deals…how did we get spiky poo Davie with the immortal Ron Franklin?
Orson: 7:57 EST. Lipreading fun: Les Miles mouths “dumbass” on the penalty.
Stranko: 8:03. Nice hit by Kevin Simon. This was a good weekend for big hits.
Orson: 8:04. Large turnover right there. Shame-LSU’s O-Line was whipping Tennessee’s ass, even against the blitz.
Stranko: 8:10. Commercial break. Doug and Carie Heffernen are at their marital bickering again… what a shock.
Stranko: 8:15. Finally a catch by a Tennessee wide out. That turn over by Russell has really slowed the LSU momentum.
Orson 8:18. Randy Sanders has the play-o-matic set on random again.
Orson 8:24. Davie has just informed us that there’s no coaching manual for how to deal with a hurricane. Idiotesque of him.
Stranko: 8:25. I think Davie has just taken over playcalling for both teams.
Stranko: 8:28. If things don’t pick up I might have to watch Jean-Claude Van Damme dance to keep entertained
