Wazzu is a night game against U of Idaho. Therefore GO UTAH STATE!!!
raven
Sheeeeet, fucking four hours after the games start. BOOOOOOOOO.
Betty Cracker
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!! God, we suck.
Mike E
Oh my.
raven
@Betty Cracker: No shit.
Dolly Llama
Oh shit. Driskel’s hurt. Fuck.
Dolly Llama
Son of a bitch, that sucks.
raven
The Hokies in triple OT.!!!!!
Go Dawgs!!
raven
@Dolly Llama: Xin Loi mofo.
Betty Cracker
@Dolly Llama: Hey, the kid completed a pass!
Dolly Llama
@Betty Cracker: @Betty Cracker: That was a gutsy-ass escape and run, too.
raven
@Dolly Llama: Shit, he was running for his life from the vaunted Vols D !!!!
Dolly Llama
@raven: Being married to a Gator has softened me, I guess.
raven
@Dolly Llama: Bah, they suck!
khead
Hokies escape. Whew.
Betty Cracker
@Dolly Llama: It was. I wish he’d stop carrying that ball like a loaf of bread though. Makes me nervous.
Yatsuno
GO SPARTANS!! Also. Too.
Always a good day when the Papists whine.
raven
@khead: Did you see that collision/pick on the goal line to send it to OT?
raven
Both of these teams are fucking awful!
JCJ
Wow. Purdue really sucks. Glad I didn’t go this time.
raven
HAHAHAHAHAHA, Wait three hours for THIS????
raven
@JCJ: And they played so well against a mediocre Irish squad!
Betty Cracker
Jesus. It’s like peewee.
raven
@Betty Cracker: Not as organized. And what do I see, empty seats in the fabulous Swamp for an SEC game? Shame shame.
khead
@raven:
Yes. The VT kid covered a shitload of ground to get that INT. Also, that Marshall WR is gonna be reliving that last play in his head for a while….
raven
@khead: God, I’m a Hokie fan but the second to last play was robbery!
khead
@raven:
We, uh, got a few calls.
raven
@khead: We’ll need em with the quick Thursday turnaround on the flat.
Dolly Llama
Butch Jones is going to have a fucking heart attack on television. I thought “Boom” Muschamp was bad.
Dolly Llama
Like watching two mules fighting over a turnip.
Johnnybuck
@raven: And there were people that wanted Muschamp in Athens a couple of years ago
raven
@Dolly Llama: Both sides do it!!!
raven
Jesus, lauding Kiffin, new depths!
raven
Yes Gary, the Vols SUCK!
Betty Cracker
T-freaking-D!
Betty Cracker
@raven: Who lauded that scum-sucking weasel?
raven
@Betty Cracker: Danielson.

Bleh, LSU-Auburn isn’t until this evening. My poor Auburn Tigers are probably going to get destroyed (although this is always a good game to bet on the underdog). But at least this season is better than the last one (which did serve the purpose of finally ridding Auburn of Gene Chizik and putting Malzahn where he belongs)
raven
@efgoldman: North Texas is in “Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), formerly known as Division I-A, is the top level of college football.”
raven
@Keith P: And as a bonus both QB’s got bounced from UGA.
raven
@efgoldman: Since I also hate Auburn and half my co-workers are whiny War Eagles I’ll let KP explain it.
raven
Oh Will you are such a shit head.
Betty Cracker
Murphy is a decent scrambler. Something to build on.
khead
@raven:
GT will give us a beat down, I suspect. Miami too.
khead
I need FLA to cover 14. Heh.
Dolly Llama
Jesus Christ, fucking slop in Gainesville.
Betty Cracker
Good lord, Tanglefoot!
Keith P
@efgoldman: I don’t think it really says much of anything, really. There’s a tradition behind it, but it’s not like 100 years ago, the Auburn regents said, “We suck, so we need an extra mascot to suck less.” It’s like saying “What does it say about a program that doesn’t have an animal as its mascot?” It’s just what it is.
Geoduck
It’s nice to see the Washington Huskies (AKA the Other Dawgs) playing actual football again after years in the wilderness, but.. geez.. there is no enjoyment in watching them steamroll a hopelessly out-matched opponent. Moving on..
raven
War Eagle is a battle cry, yell, or motto not a mascot. Any REAL Auburn fan knows that. My hatred was tempered when we took Raven to their Vet Med School for his cancer treatment, they were great.
raven
In a gesture that organizers hope turns into an athlete-driven national movement, players from Georgia Tech and Georgia and Northwestern took the field Saturday with gear they had marked up to protest the NCAA’s treatment of athletes on issues ranging from concussions to compensation.
ESPN cameras showed that players, including Georgia Tech quarterback Vad Lee, wrote on their wrist tape “APU” — All Players United — in a game against North Carolina.
In Georgia’s game against North Texas, at least five Bulldogs offensive linemen joined the protest.
Betty Cracker
Touchdooooowwwwnnn!

@efgoldman:
This must be the weekend for shit matchups and/or shit games (Fresno State v Boise last night was fun, however). I’ve found nothing on the schedule for the evening that interests me in the least. Oh, well, I always have my p0rn.
Johnnybuck
I have mixed emotions about this game. On the one hand, I hate Tennessee with the heat of a thousand suns, but good lord are they pathetic. On the other hand, I hate the damned Gators with the heat of 999 suns, both teams are orange, and orange teams are wrong (I think Jesus said that) and in spite of the fact that I would normally pull for the underdog, I simply cannot bring myself to do it. what to do?
raven
@efgoldman: I’d like to see the players stand up to all the racist bullshit in their states. Imagine Tobacco Road with all white hoopers.
raven
@Johnnybuck: Go Dawgs!!!
Betty Cracker
And the Gators cover the spread!
raven
@Betty Cracker: Ahem.
raven
Terps 37-0!!!!!
Betty Cracker
@Johnnybuck: Strictly from a colors perspective, you should back the Gators, then. Their colors are orange and BLUE, whereas the Vols are just orange.
raven
@Betty Cracker: The Illini are Orange and Blue!
Hail to the Orange,
Hail to the Blue,
Hail Alma Mater,
Ever so true!
We love no other
So let our motto be
Victory, Illinois! Varsity!
Johnnybuck
@Betty Cracker: And a pasty, sickly orange at that.

We’re loyal to you, Illinois,
We’re “Orange and Blue,” Illinois,
We’ll back you to stand ‘gainst the best in the land,
For we know you have sand, Illinois, Rah! Rah!
So crack out that ball, Illinois,
We’re backing you all, Illinois,

Lead on our sons and daughters fighting for you;
Like men of old, on giants placing reliance, shouting defiance,
Oskee-Wow-Wow!
Amid the broad green fields that nourish our land,
For honest Labor and for Learning we stand,
And unto thee we pledge our heart and hand,
Dear Alma Mater, Illinois!

Go Gators! My brother is at the game right now…

@efgoldman:
Feels like Designated Cupcake Week, doesn’t it? At least Bumfuck Community College gets its six-figure payoff for being stomped on, though since it pretty much evens out, it’s not like this grade-padding helps anyone.
Johnnybuck
@Betty Cracker: Well, I’m really more into a “can they both lose?” frame of mind. But frankly I’d be happier if Florida was up by 50, not because I want them to win as much as I truly enjoy Rocky Top being completely humiliated. So the Gators are letting me down.
This Murphy kid looks pretty good.
PaulW
So many games today were total blowouts between Div. 1-A and AA schools. 90 percent of these matchups are totally unfair: these smaller schools only sign up to get the visitors money and rarely come out with an honest chance to win.
They should schedule conference vs. conference. SEC schools vs. Pac-12, ACC vs. Big 10, to hell with playing FAMU or the Western North Datoka Polytech Lambchops.
PaulW
@Johnnybuck:
kicker missed the field goal! Dammit, Gators put the game out of reach will ya?
PaulW
@Betty Cracker:
There is not a hell deep enough for Lane Kiffin. I’m not a Vol fan and even to this day I have the fullest sympathy for Tennessee over what that betrayer did to that team.
Did you ever see the response video on YouTube where the Vol fan pisses on the Kiffin gear?
JCJ
@raven:
I would reply with Purdue’s fight song, but I am too embarrassed!
Johnnybuck
@PaulW: Lane Kiffin didn’t fire “bullet head” Phillip Fulmer. You lie down with dogs you get fleas.
raven
@PaulW: econ 101 dawg, there is no way these kids could hold up with 12 quality opponents but there is so much money in home games they have to play someone. I don’t like it but it is not going to change.
Fluke bucket
Tennessee +14.5 was good. I am happy.
Betty Cracker
@PaulW: Didn’t see that one. I loathe the Vols, but yeah, Kiffin is lower than whale shit.
PaulW
@efgoldman:
Rays just won today. They’re still holding onto a lead for the Wild Card. So TTTTTHHHHHPPPPPPPT to you.
As for the Bucs… well, yeah. Schiano is killing the team with ultraconservative offense and undisciplined tackling training.

Betty, this is DEFINITELY NSFW, but here’s the YouTube:

Driskel is gone for the year.
Dolly Llama
@raven: They’re trading up, by all appearances. Muschamp’s anointing after the game seemed almost callous.
Spike
Gators get the SEC version of a bye week next, at Kentucky (where our motto remains “Is it basketball season yet?”).
