Week Eight Morning Open Thread

Not a lot of good watching early on (though Arkansas/Ole Miss should be interesting), so I'll be cleaning and making meatloaf most of the morning. See y'all at 2:30.

The non-Bama games I'm looking forward to

are Mi’ssippi and Arkansas and LSU and the Barn.

Mi’ssippi and Arkansas should be a great game.

Anybody know some sites where I can stream games (and ESPN360 doesn’t work for me because of my internet provider.)

Uggh...

This is bizarre

I’m watching UAB-Marshall online. It’s like the feed is from Marshall’s scoreboard or something. UAB just had a third and long and up on the screen pops “Let’s hear some third down thunder!” or something like that.

You can get just about any sporting event online these days.

I watched a USA vs. Honduras game a couple of weekends back on a feed from an Iraqi TV station.

Especially with military connections...

I re-routed a Predator UAV out of Nellis AFB, so that it would head over Provo and I can watch TCU and BYU live, instead of waiting until tomorrow afternoon for the tape delayed run of it.

Unfortunately, I still have to put up with Georgia Tech/Virginia in the meantime. Got to be AFN’s worst college football lineup all year, even with the Bama/Tennessee game on.

Disclaimer...

Darn internet and sarcasm, but just in case it wasn’t clear, I obviously didn’t actually do that. Yes, it would be awesome (and filed under fraud, waste, and abuse, despite my thinking to the contrary) if possible though.

UAB...

…with a goal line stand to keep it at 10-0.

Remember when Nebraska used to be hell on wheels?

Physical, punishing terrors on both sides of the ball? Apparently, Texas pussification* has infected all of the B12…the ISU game is a bubble-screen slapfight.

Ole Miss ran the wildcat play that bama burned them with

Except Arkansas didn’t quite bite as hard, so there was no touchdown scored.

I can't get this game to load though.

That’s the bad thing about the online feeds. You never know what’s actually going to work.

Julio have 150 yards receiving and a couple TDs to go w/ Ingram 200+ and couple TDs

I don't give a damn...

if that were really the case they would have played it at halftime. They played it when we turned the ball over for the last time with like…one minute left in the game…

That loss was probably one of the 5 most disappointing of the Shula era

and that says a lot…Among the other low points:
the 2003 UT game;
the final quarter of the ’05 Florida game/3rd Q of the WKU game;
every Iron Bowl (except 03)
and every LSU game.

I took Ole Miss and the points, and I see they’re covering, but what’s going on? Is Ark flat or is Ole Miss playing to their potential?

This kind of shit isn't going to play in the SEC

it’s a league built on respect (animus, yes, but respectful) and almost a century of fierce competition and history. It’s not built on XFL bullshit stunts and gimmicks. This kid, and I use that in every negative derivation, is an absolute f***** clown who has, in less than a year, dragged Tennessee even further into the gutter than even I imagined possible. This is bush league, amateur hour horseshit. How can you trust this guy? His handshake? His word? And, even worse, Viles are going to come crawling out of the woodwork to defend this crass, cynical, juvenile nonsense.

Those that sow the wind…

I think UF's 2005 J'ville jerseys started it...

That begat the blackout, then the celebration. But, either way, it’s clearly the WLOCP’s fault.

The three games I’ve seen Pitt play, they have been really nasty and physical (still don’t know how they lost to NCSU).
