Thursday College Football Game Night Open Comment Thread

PrintSeeing as how there was college football on the ESPN family of networks earlier this week, as well, I probably shouldn't have waited until Thursday to open up a game night comment thread, but there's just nothing quite like a main course of two 4-0 Big 12 teams after a Sun Belt appetizer on Tuesday night and a Conference USA soup course on Wednesday night, is there? All right, I agree, it's not that big a deal, but it's college football and it's on, so we both know we'll all be watching.
As an extra added bonus, however, roughly at halftime of tonight's game, you can join The Rocky Top Talk Podcast at 9:00. Since they're previewing the Tennessee Volunteers' upcoming visit to Sanford Stadium, I am scheduled to appear on the show to represent the Georgia Bulldogs.
How's that for a winning combination? Join in the conversation in print here, listen in on the conversation taking place verbally there, then go back to commenting here! (I'm sure one of you will come up with the cleverly subversive idea of commenting on my on-air performance in this comment thread while Joel and I are talking. My guess is that tankertoad will be the one to start it.)
Go 'Dawgs!

Go Braves!
Please don’t screw this up like in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005!
(Sorry, I’m a bulldog fan in 2010. I can’t help it.)
Even that is tainted, though.
I was at that Georgia-Florida game in Athens. The Braves winning the World Series later that same day kept me from jumping off the Coliseum, but that’s about it.
Go 'Dawgs!
Absolutely, brother.
That was my freshman year of college, and I don’t mind telling you that our dorm was party central and I got drunk for the first time in my life that night.

I was stationed in the UK, had to work a 12 hour day shift the next day.
But stayed up most of the night to watch Glavine pitch that gem on the oh-so-awesome Armed Forces Network…man I miss those commercials! LOL
If you're gonna do it, go ugly early.
The great news is...
The football game will be over by the time the Braves get going good. Yay October sports options!!!

While we're waiting, here are a few housekeeping details to which to attend:
Kit Kitchens’s Dawg Gone Podcast (featuring Rex Robinson and me) is available for your listening pleasure.
Here is a study in contrasts between recent Twitter updates. On the one hand, Old Spice Classic wrote this:
Also, be sure to check out the awesome #UGA blog @dawgsports. Let us know if there are any others!
On the other hand, another commentator observed (with a slight edit on my part):
@dawgsports I hope you don’t get paid to write this s—-.
I guess we’re not for all tastes.

Because the Wildcats have been so bad lately, I haven't seen them on TV in a while.
I had forgotten how much the whole Kansas State/Bill Snyder/reclamation project meme annoys me. These purple parvenus pioneered soft scheduling, building a series of eleven-win seasons upon a foundation of facing non-conference slates composed entirely of cupcakes and playing in a Big 12 North that was the weakest division in major college football during the Cornhuskers’ post-Tom Osborne decline.
These guys irk me a lot more than a school from the Sunflower State ought to be able to do, but their rise to prominence in the 1990s is as false as the ancient Greeks.
Go 'Dawgs!
But... but...
… they upset Oklahoma to win a conference title one time. Surely that means they were a seriously good program right?
As for myself, I cannot take seriously any program that has an annual rivalry game it voluntarily labels Farmageddon.
I don't even make it as far as the name "Farmageddon."
Iowa State has an all-time 49-41-4 record against Kansas State in the rivalry. How bad has a program been historically if it has a losing record against the Cyclones through 94 series meetings?
Go 'Dawgs!
But I still want them to win.
Stay with me here….KSU upsets Neb, who beat OK, who still win the Big (insert # here). Dawgs win the East (no, really!) and upset Bama in the SECCG. We need an impaired OK team in the polls to reach the BCSCG.
And CMR will be a genius again.
Run Lindsay Run!
A word of advice:
The hydroponic ganja you brought back from Boulder and the hot totty from Cocktail Thursday do not mix! :)
Go 'Dawgs!
For Georgia to win the east...
… we would need Florida to lose to LSU this weekend, and we would need South Carolina to lose to all of Alabama, Florida, and Arkansas.
And on top of all that, we would have to win out, beating Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn in the process.
I would like some of that hot Boulder weed you’re smokin’, too.
O ye of little faith.
What else is there to hang on to? And…the LSU win and Usc losses are all reasonable assumptions. We get AJ in full gear, gators have Brantley dinged-up for our game, and our D should be able to handle a 1 dimensional Auburn team.
Duuuuuuuuude!!!
Run Lindsay Run!
Aflac trivia question answer:
One of the two coaches is Bobby Bowden. I need a minute on the other.
Go 'Dawgs!
It's not Osborne, . . .
. . . because half the dadgum stadia in the Big 12 are named “Memorial Stadium.”
They didn’t rename anything after Joe Paterno, did they?
Go 'Dawgs!
Right?
If that’s wrong, then it’s Cliff Hare Stadium being named Jordan-Hare before Shug Jordan retired, but I’m pretty sure the two coaches are Bowden and Bryant.
Go 'Dawgs!
Good point; maybe that doesn't count.
Shug Jordan is definitely one of them; when Cliff Hare Stadium was renamed “Jordan-Hare” in 1973, it became the first stadium named for an active coach.
Yes, I looked it up, because it was bugging me.
Go 'Dawgs!
Random tangent.
Why in the heck is it pronounced “Jerr-dan” Hare stadium?
We don’t call the basketball player Michael Jerr-dan.

I’m the Mike Bobo of the blogosphere.
Go 'Dawgs!
Yeah, it's Bryant and Jordan.
The Alabama legislature renamed it Bryant-Denny Stadium in 1975. I would look to kleph to confirm this, but I’m guessing it was at least partly in response to Auburn having honored Jordan two years before.
Go 'Dawgs!
Good catch on Bobby Bowden, vineyarddawg. You were right.

Solid work, Kyle.
Your final score “dream” prediction scares the hell out of me, but mostly because it would be reminiscent of a Willie-Two-Thumbs-like defensive effort.
Thanks.
I muffed my scripted intro by stumbling over the “three winningest coaches” bit, but Joel and Will are good guys, and I enjoy talking to commiserating with them. The entirely unrepresentative and increasingly surreal Lane Kiffin parenthesis notwithstanding, the Tennessee faithful are my favorite fan base among our annual rivals.

In the meantime, this football game is getting sloppy.
Nebraska leads 31-3 late in the third, and, every time I look up from the computer, somebody’s putting the ball on the ground.
I’d have turned it already, but the remote is on the entertainment center, and I haven’t yet worked up the energy to get up and go get it to switch it to the Braves game.
Go 'Dawgs!
I am now attempting to retrieve the remote using the Force.
If Darth Vader can choke a fellow from across the room, surely I can get the remote control to levitate across the room to me if I look at it, extend my hand, and concentrate really hard.

I'm going to act like a Braves baseball announcer and talk about something only tangentially related in the middle of the action.
I remember one year I was watching a Braves game on TV, and the game was nearing an end and the announcers were drunk getting a little silly.
Oops… rest of the story when we come back from a commercial.
…
…
And we’re back. So, the game was nearing an end, and they were reading the promo for the “B-grade” (or probably “C-grade”) movie that was coming up next on TBS. Then as a joke, Don Sutton (or maybe it was Pete Van Wieren said, “Hey, whoever watches this entire movie, writes up a synopsis, and mails it to the WTBS home offices will get a free lunch with me and Skip (Carey).”
Well, the movie (I forget the name now… it was some random crappy movie like TBS used to show) got record ratings for a crappy TBS movie, and they got literally hundreds of letters describing the plot of the movie.
Don/Pete and Skip were then forced to pick a winner and have lunch with them at their own expense. It was awesome.
I can't tell you the number of Braves games I attended with my Dad . . .
. . . in which we sat through a rain delay while I thought to myself, “If I was home right now, I’d be watching Andy Griffith.”
Ah, TBS. I remember when it was WZGC (or whatever it was before) and it aired nothing but Braves games, wrestling, and “Star Trek.”
Go 'Dawgs!
My brain (Wikipedia) tells me...
… that it was WTCG (Turner Communications Group… or colloquially, Watch This Channel Grow.)
Yeah, those were the days.
by vineyarddawg on Oct 7, 2010 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions
At some point, it was either WZGC or WCGC, or something like that.
One of the reasons Ted Turner wanted to change it was that it was hard to say. “WCGC” and “WZGC” sound alike when spoken aloud, which is why I’m pretty sure it was one of those two, and it sounded like the other.
Go 'Dawgs!
LOL!
My dad still complains about the prices of tickets, and immediately reminds anyone listening how he used to take me and my sister to a game for $10. Of course, those were the years we were lucky to win 50 games.
If you're gonna do it, go ugly early.
It's now 45-6.
Nebraska hasn’t sustained a drive all night, in the sense that every touchdown run seems to have covered at least 30 yards of real estate.
At some point, I’m simply going to have to acknowledge that a Thursday night Big 12 blowout with the sound muted simply has lost the molecular structure of a football game, get up off the couch, and get the remote control.

You won't like the Braves game much right now, either.

but Freddy (Freddie?) Gonzalez, the old Marlins skipper and member of the Cox coaching tree, actually turned down an interview for the Cubs job a few weeks ago. Could mean that he’s got his eye on Atlanta, or that the Cubs really ARE that bad, or that he just wants to keep drawing his check from the Marlins…..

Then you really don't want to know...
… how I found this one.
It’s the real mascot for the Rhode Island School of Design, and yes, he is what you think he is.
(Mildly NSFW, but it’s posted on YouTube, so I think I’m ok.)

And in case no one believes me...
… here’s a link to their official website describing the nicknames for their athletics teams.

Wait, that doesn't sound right...strike last comment.
It was far funnier in my head!
If you're gonna do it, go ugly early.
I thought it was hilarious.
I feel like a Braves announcer here.

Just imagine the Wreck trying to stuff the…well, you get the picture! LMAO!

This Giants pitcher is looking like Josh Fields as a starter.
Also, the pimping for Conan is getting tiresome. The “Coco” thing is absurd. What is he, a Chanel?
I think I’m about to turn in for the night. I don’t know if it’s the 1-4 start, the change of weather, my sinuses, or something else, but I’ve felt like I’ve been rode hard and put up wet all week. I haven’t even had the energy to climb onto the elliptical for longer than ten or twelve minutes at a time, and I’ve been very faithful about exercising since the school year started.
Good night, all. Don’t forget, Too Much Information (or its equivalent) in about 40 minutes.
Go 'Dawgs!
Good night...
… hope you get some rest. You’ll need it for Saturday.

Night, RedCrake.
I’m going to be out, too, when this game is over.

One of my biggest pet peeves...
… is when an announcer says, “I’m not doing to do (x),” and then proceeds to explicitly do (x).
Like this announcer just did with defending an umpire that made a bad call.
Yeah, the Braves, like the Dawgs, get crappy umpiring every postseason they play in!
If you're gonna do it, go ugly early.
Call me old fashioned, but I like pitching duels.
