Georgia Tech vs Duke= S.A.T SPEEEED!!!!!
Is that Engineers vs Doctors? or Attorneys?
I will be watching,from work, Alabama vs KY….
I think its gonna be a yawner and I think we will sleepwalk thru this one. It seems we always seem to do off the wall stuff vs lesser opponents, like throw the damn ball every down….I am convinced it is not to give LSU edge as far as our tendencies…..If we can hold off the injury bug for the LSU and Auburn games, we may have a shot……

Visiting relatives in Pine Mountain, Ga. My coffee this morning had some kind of alcohol in it and there’s a liquor store in sight. Excepting Duke/Tech, I’m gonna keep tabs on my beloved ess eee see all day. I need to get prepared for what may be the first Vandy loss of my lifetime.

Up early because my sleep patterns are FUBAR, and thanking God that I do not have yardwork to distract me from the weekend’s most important task: fucking off.
Putting insomnia to good work by sorting out some piled-up paperwork while ignoring the siren song of the pregame shows. The only nice thing about the economy melting down is that I am no longer receiving 20 credit card applications every week.
With Northwestern and Louisville on bye, I lack a sense of urgency. When I get back from breakfast, I’ll settle down for a little Iowa @ State, followed by [TEAM REDACTED] at Le Grosse Chez. Brother Reefer Cargo is coming by somewhere in there to pick up his newly-defragmented (for the first time in four years) iMac, so offerings to the Gods shall be burnt. The question is: andouille or bratwurst?
Otherwise, I’m at a loose end; naps will be slotted into this demanding schedule as necessary. After that, I might roust myself to watch a little Bucky-on-Buckeye action. No question of who to root for here: When you say Wisconsin, you’ve said it all.

In VA for a wedding, so I’ll be scouring my hotel channel lineup for the UF@ARK game until watching another friend give up the ghost at 4.

Georgetown-Colgate Football Game CXLD due to norovirus outbreak.
Okay, who at Leo’s Cafeteria didn’t wash their hands after doing #2 before returning to serve food?

ahhh, off to watch my engineers annihilate the hated dukish foes like so many relativistic particles in the LHC! in the resonant glories of nitrous-induced victory haze, several freshmen might be plucked from east campus, fed steroid shakes and forced to watch henry rollins exercise videos until they beg for death. these white devils of Duke and Duchies and Dukedoms and the heathen Nicolaitans (misled by of Krzyzewski and Gog and Magog, accursed before the LORD), claim cerulean hues but hark! just as the Scatterings of Compton rubify Atlanta’s sky duskwise, GT’s defense renders them red; meanwhile, coach Paul “NP != P for values of P equal to Paul Johnson, Bitch” Johnson plays the part of Professor STAFF, administering a grim lesson in Knowing One’s Role. GT by 14, w0000t! GO JACKETS, STING ‘EM!

Starting Vay-Cay today. With LSU on the Bye Week, was supposed to be winging my way to Boulder yesterday to catch Texas-Colorado, but that was sadly not possible (stuff happening earlier in the year kiboshed it and LSU-Florida next week).
TV was out last week. With it finally repaired, will be getting back up to speed in a big way by watching a full slate of games:
Morning Session:
Rutty @ WFV
FLA @ Arky (The Three Daves - required viewing, plus I want to see the Gators play angry this week instead of next)
Joe Pa @ Purdue
Duke @ GT
Iowa @ Mich. St.
OK @ BAY
Afternoon Session:
FSU @ MIA (and hoping for a Sterger sighting)
ASU @ CAL
KY @ Bama (Uncles Verne and Gary - also required)
TT @ K-State
NEV @ ID (wondering what the cheerleaders will wear next, plus I need to see more of the Nevada “Pistol” formation to attempt to understand what Crowton’s trying to do at LSU)
Night Session:
Auburn @ Vandy
Texas @ CO (should have been at this game, dammit)
Oregon @ USC
tOSU @ Wisky
Mizzou @ NEB
Hawaii @ Fresno State
May also pop in and catch a few other games not mentioned and the Petit LeMans on Speed Channel.
On The Menu: Gettin’ my Sushi on tonight. You have not lived until you’ve experienced a Cajun Crawfish Roll. Will knosh on other varietals also.

Looks like a chilly start to the tailgate at GT - it’s not even 60 degrees here in Atlanta!
After watching the BEEEEEES at noon, it’s scrambling to get somewhere to watch the Navy-Air Farce game.
mmmmmmm…triple option goodness all day long

Early games - will be watching OU vs. Baylor because I want to watch Robert Griffin with my own eyes, despite OU probably ripping him a new orifice. Flip to PSU-Purdue in the breaks. (Iowa vs. Michigan State is for masochists and Pam Ward lovers only — potentially in the same category.)
Nooners - Stanford-ND and (hopefully) FSU-Miami. (The TV system tells me it could be Illinois-Meechigan.) Will watch ASU-Cal if forced to by amount of suck, and will check on how much Rich Brooks thinks Alabama’s blowout lead is bullshit. Stop drinking at 2 to sober up for driving in about three hours.
3pm - Will catch the first half of Auburn-Vandy, puke from offensive putridity, flip to Texas-CU at 4, root for MAJESTIC BUFFALO against Colt McCoy’s double-barreled attack.
No late games this week for me. Party circuit starts at 5:30 in beach town 30 minutes away and then returns to the main drag for bar-hopping and co-worker’s going away.

Dawn patrol. Wife reports for rehearsal at Cal’s Alumni Band Day, in Berkeley, at jackass o’clock in the morning. Probably leaning against the stump of a tree drinking from a flask at 7 AM and cursing the lack of access to the new HDTV showing College Gameday live from Nash Vegas.
At the conclusion of the game, probably borne on a stretcher into somebody’s house to see scores. Almost scared to actually watch the Dores for fear of a hex.
Probably shouldn’t still be awake.
