Thank God football is back!
Morning Game Notes
- There has been three turnovers so far in the Miami(OH)-Florida game. Florida has looked terrible so far on offense with bad snaps and broken plays. Miami leads 3-0 over Florida in the 2nd quarter.
- And just like that Miami is down 7-3 to Florida. The Red Hawks converted a gutsy fake punt, only to give away the ball on a interception run for a touchdown. It was nice while it lasted.
Stat of the Day: Florida has 36 yards of total offense but leads 21-6 over Miami(OH) at halftime. Who says they need Tebow?
- Penn State got off to a real slow start against Youngstown State trailing 7-3 at the end of the 1st quarter. Freshman quarterback Robert Bolden shook off the nerves though in the 2nd quarter and threw a touchdown to Brett Brackett and lead Penn State to another field goal. Penn State 16-7 over Youngstown State at halftime.
- I'm posting this from Stanford Stadium. I heard Ole Miss lost to Jacksonville State and had to check it out myself. Sure enough, Ole Miss lost to Jacksonville State in the 2nd overtime. Here's video of the game winning 2-point conversion by Jacksonville State that defeated Ole Miss.
Now back to drunken bitterness.
TGCFIB!
ReplyDeleteWhy does Corso still do Gameday? I can't help but feel sorry for him.
ReplyDeleteTebow would have never fumbled the snap.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to find a less than legal stream for the Youngstown State-Penn State game. No luck.
ReplyDeleteBleh.
Did you try firstrow.net?
ReplyDeleteWow! Two fumbles already for Florida.
ReplyDeleteMiami taketh and Miami giveth back.
ReplyDelete@ 49er16: No luck. A link is there, but it says the video is not available yet, check back in a few moments.
ReplyDeleteWow Florida has been terrible so far.
ReplyDeleteFlorida has -28 years rushing thus far this game. For real.
ReplyDeleteFlorida hardly looks like a Top 25 team, yet alone a top 5 team.
ReplyDelete@JFein: You don't have the Big Ten Network where you are?
ReplyDeleteWhoa! What a fake!
ReplyDelete@ Jay: Zap2it says I am supposed to get BTN, but the channel it is supposed to be on is nothing but black and white fuzz.
ReplyDelete@JFein: Huh? I'm getting the game here in Philly.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking notes and posting videos and pictures from the day. I inserted a page break for the post doesn't get too long. Just to let everyone know.
ReplyDeleteMiami (OH) is trying to pull every trick in the book. It worked for a quarter, but now they are shooting themselves in the foot more than anything.
ReplyDelete@ Jay: I am back in college in Bloomsburg. BTN is supposed to be Channel 29 up here, but when I turn to it there is nothing but fuzz.
ReplyDelete@JFein: You're not missing much. Penn State looks like crap.
ReplyDeleteAnother Miami turnover.
ReplyDeleteAmerica can take a sigh of relief. Stanzi is back in the game.
ReplyDeleteFrom everything I have read about the game, I am really liking the prospect of Robert Bolden as PSU QB for 3-4 years.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I think Bolden is one of PSU's few bright spots on the day.
ReplyDeleteBoston College is losing to Weber State.
ReplyDelete16-7 PSU.
ReplyDeleteChampionship!
Wendi Nix is back! But without the sexy glasses.
ReplyDeleteRobert Bolden looks like the real deal. RoBo FTW!
ReplyDeleteOh No. Brian Griese just introduced the world to the "Grease Board."
ReplyDelete@JFein: Have you checked out ESPN3 yet? You can have multiple screens open with games. I love it.
ReplyDelete@ 49er16: Have not tried that ESPN3 feature out yet, but it sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteRobert Bolden stats: 20/29 239 yds 2 TDs
ReplyDeleteBy all accounts the freshman looked really really good today. If this is Penn State's future at QB, I am quite happy right now.
Penn State won 44-14. Nice win after a very slow start. If Penn State wants to have a prayer of a chance against Alabama next week, they will need to start much better.
ReplyDeleteWith not many other interesting games on now, I am watching the Philadelphia Union at 3:30.
Reporting live from Stanfurd Stadium parking lot. Typical furd fans not tailgating like us.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Ron Franklin again
ReplyDeleteThought you were gone today?
ReplyDeleteMichigan's D looking great!
ReplyDelete/won't last
@Keith
ReplyDeleteended up being done at 3:15...but I am heading to the Orioles game tonight
I've got the UConn-Michigan game on my TV screen and the Wizards-Union game on my computer. Life is good.
ReplyDelete@ 49er16: You are working at the Sac State-Stanford game?
ReplyDelete@JFein: Nope, just here as a fan. Watching games inside an RV one of my friends drove down here.
ReplyDeleteMillen on the Michigan O-Line: "You look at these guys and don't see any guns."
ReplyDeleteThe RBs coach has the guns (at least the plastic ones) covered.
I didn't notice this, but ESPN3 even blacks out games that are in your area. I can't watch the UCLA game, but can watch UConn vs. Michigan.
ReplyDeleteThere went Rice's best chance against the Longhorns
ReplyDeleteRemember when Tate Forcier was suppose to be Michigan's Tim Tebow? Good times.
ReplyDeleteI acutally got sucked into the Forcier hype.
ReplyDeleteEveryone did, RJBO. Even I got sucked in. Until after the Sparty game.
ReplyDeleteMcDonough: "Capacity expanded and they're making a lot of noise."
ReplyDeleteMichigan fans don't make noise.
/jingles keys
Wow! FUCLA looks terrible.
ReplyDeleteRice with the goal line stand! Texas can't put 6 on the board!
ReplyDeleteNorrie about two toddlers waving to the camera: "I think that's the Shankopotamus kid."
ReplyDeleteand then Rice throws a pick.
ReplyDelete*Not David Norrie, I think Brock Huard said that.
ReplyDeleteDenard Robinson: The new Pat White.
ReplyDelete/trying..not..to get..sucked...IN
TOUCHDOWN SHOELACE!
ReplyDelete/trying..not..to get...sucked...IN!
Texas ties Rice at 3
ReplyDeleteMillen is allowed back into the state of Michigan?
ReplyDeleteMillen: "I did return kicks in high school."
ReplyDeleteMcDonough: "I do not believe you. I need to see the film."
You know what? I still hate Notre Dame.
ReplyDeleteTexas is struggling against Rice. 3-3 in the 2nd quarter.
ReplyDeleteFlorida isn't the only school having problems with the snap. Ugh Cal.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with Kennan Allen.
ReplyDeleteTouchdown Texas!
ReplyDeletetime to change the channel
Keenan Allen is Desean Jackson 2.0, but he's not as crazy.
ReplyDeleteThis is the UConn team that some had winning the Big East?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Shankapotamus, a 5 yard punt by UConn. Yeesh.
Keenan Allen isn't as fast as Deseasn Jackson, but he's bigger.
ReplyDeleteMcDonough: "Lutrus is taking Introduction to Weightlifting. I have a feeling he's been introduced to weightlifting."
ReplyDeleteAIDS Awareness must've been filled.
/Andy Katzenmoyer'd
Hammond: "Purdue coming with a little Tim Tebow-lite."
ReplyDeleteMayock: "He looks a little like Tebow."
Tonight's college football games can't come soon enough.
ReplyDeleteFast forward to Monday Night's game at FedEx....
ReplyDeleteCal is sucking me in, only to disappoint me when they play Oregon, Oregon State, USC, Washington.........
ReplyDeleteSean McDonough always sounds so bored doing college football.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the Peter King/ Mike Florio duo isn't the halftime report in hell.
ReplyDeleteDesean Jackson 2.0 for the TD!
ReplyDeleteWHAT A JUGGLING CATCH BY MICHAEL SMITH!
ReplyDelete/He was bound to catch one of those
Millen: "I think I saw that episode in 'Hoi Polloi.' Curly did the same thing."
ReplyDelete/obscure Three Stooges references for $1000, Alex
I'll talk to you guys later. I'm heading to the stadium. I'll probably get drunk out of sheer bitterness because we're going to get blown out by furd.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the scene, Keith!
ReplyDelete/try to
You're Wolverines look good RJBO.
ReplyDeleteIt's early, Jay. They started 4-0 last year, only beating Delaware State the rest of the year.
ReplyDelete/but who knew Denard Robinson could pass?
@RJBO: That's what I'm talking about. Robinson has found the ability to pass. Michigan could be better than we expect.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Randy Shannon and Miami wanted nothing to do with Robert Marve. He sucks.
ReplyDeleteForcier looked good early, too.
ReplyDelete/trying...not..to get..sucked..IN
Poor Pam Ward. Her butchering of games gets lost in the shuffle on the U at 3:30. Too many other games on.
I'm more disappointed ESPN split up Pammy and Bentley.
ReplyDeleteHeather Cox: "(Greg Robinson) looked like he won the lottery (after the fumble)." He did win the lottery, winning another year as DC.
ReplyDeleteDevin Gardner, beginning to loosen up for the Wolverines.
ReplyDelete/Pat Summerall's "Andre Ware, beginning to loosen up for the Lions."
Forcier isn't even the backup? Wow, he might be transferring soon.
ReplyDeleteGardner was in for a few plays; Forcier denied he would transfer.
ReplyDeleteDanny Kanell: "Look at the wall of beef coming at your screen." Ewwwww.
ReplyDeleteI bet Forcier transfers by Nov or by the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteVin Scully wouldn't be happy about that beach ball getting on the field in Michigan Stadium.
ReplyDeleteStanford fans are so pathetic. They've barely filled this stadium and they make zero noise.
ReplyDelete/Drinks another Coors Light
//I'm broke, so I'm drinking broke beer.
I'm broke, so I'm drinking broke beer.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling; Kroger had Coors Light 24 oz cans 10 for $10.
/bought 10
After the crowd booed after the ref said ABC was not out a timeout:
Millen: "Not that strong of a boo. I've heard worse."
McDonough: "In this neighborhood."
Robert Marve is so dumb. He leaps into the end zone and costs Purdue a 15-yard touchdown.
ReplyDeleteI want to say Marve wanted to go to either Purdue or Michigan. He made the right choice.
ReplyDeleteMillen: "He's short...with my X-ray vision."
ReplyDeleteAfter the turnover on downs confirmed by the chains:
McDonough: "You're right, Superman."
Millen on Forcier being by himself on the bench: "A lonely little petunia in the onion patch."
ReplyDeleteJay's right...HE GONE!
Already 14-0 furd.
ReplyDelete/drinks another beer.
HOLY SHIT! Did you guys watch the Jacksonville State-Ole Miss game?
ReplyDelete@Jay: Yep, thanks to ESPNEWS and their College Football Overdrive show. Early candidate for game of the year.
ReplyDeleteMichigan is forgiven. They never blew a 4th quarter lead like Ole Miss did today.
ReplyDeleteDid Ole Miss really blow a huge lead to Jacksonville State?
ReplyDeleteOregon State: cornering the college football market on inconsistent strong-armed QBs.
ReplyDeleteBTW, someone at ESPN make sure I don't see Holly Rowe's spotted chest ever again.
I updated the post with the video of game winning 2-point conversion by Jacksonville State.
ReplyDelete/now back to drunken bitterness
TCU (and their sparkle pants) tie the game in JerrahWorld.
ReplyDeleteI still don't know how Mr. Football in Alabama wound up at Jacksonville State anyway.
/great F-ing ending
Oregon State needs to find something different than just handing the ball off to Jacquizz Rodgers.
ReplyDeleteUNC is already in a world of hurt with the 3rd string RB fumbling the ball to LSU.
ReplyDeleteLOL LSU. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they lost this game.
ReplyDeleteANOTHER UNC fumble. Bleh.
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm done with Sac State torture. How the hell did UNC score?
ReplyDeleteHow the hell are UNC and LSU tied at 7?
ReplyDeleteBrent: "Double-digit underdogs lead by a field goal." Sounds like someone put a few nickels on the Tigers...
ReplyDelete50 yard TD run by Russell Shepard. Wow.
ReplyDeleteBrent: "Hey Marvin (UNC DT Austin): Get yourself a sign that says 'Don't Drink & Twitter.' Put it up on a billboard."
ReplyDeleteWinnar!
Got back to the RV in time to see the snap go over Yates' head for a safety.
ReplyDeleteYeesh. At least Sac State didn't get beat as bad as San Jose State is right now against Bama.
ReplyDeleteLSU should be up by at least 10 more points, even after the punt return TD.
ReplyDeleteKeith, Oregon beat New Mexico 72-0. Mike Locksley is gonna beat up another assistant coach.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: Did you read the Ann Arbor news? Forcier is most than likely gone.
ReplyDeleteThis story, Keith? After the act he pulled on the bench, he was as good as gone. His act has worn thin all summer.
ReplyDeleteYeah that story. What happened to him during the Summer? Is he a SoCal douche?
ReplyDeleteForcier didn't work as hard as the coaches thought he should have (there's an NCAA practice regulations joke in there somewhere). The coaching staff "took the wings off his helmet" before getting them back. He seems like another Sam McGuffie type, who's now at Rice (flashy, but can't withstand the punishment).
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought. A soft SoCal boy. Just like newly unemployed Matt Leinart.
ReplyDeleteLeinart at least has a few millions in the bank to chill with as many college chicks in his hot tub until he holds a clipboard somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThat's true RJBO.
ReplyDeleteHow is Utah State hanging with Oklahoma????
ReplyDeleteBeth Mowins is already better than Pam Ward and the broadcast just started. Trent Dilfer, however...
ReplyDeleteDilfer: "Butch Jones is one of the rock stars of college football of coaching right now."
?? Using Dilfer's analogy, Butch Jones is selling CDs of his performance in the parking lot afterwards.
Oh Boy. Trent Dilfer calling his ala mater's school. And he keeps shouting.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna put it on LSU-UNC until Wisky-UNLV starts. Brent might have some more Twitter advice from now until 11:00.
ReplyDeleteDidn't take long for Turner Gill's Wikipedia page to be hacked and changed.
ReplyDeleteDid David Carr just finish painting a friend's shed wearing that T-Shirt?
ReplyDeleteThe hype machine is going berserk for Michigan. Dan Wetzel has a column on Yahoo describing the win. While I'm happy for you RJBO that your team won, I'm not ready to crown them Big Ten Champs just yet.
ReplyDeleteKeith, you know I try to look at things logically with my favorite teams and try to shoot straight with you (I think I wrote this sentence totally in Michael Reghi-ese). They have to beat someone of consequence IN THEIR CONFERENCE (Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, hell even MSU) before anyone should go crazy.
ReplyDelete/totally understand the whole hate for Michigan with hacks like Wetzel spewing lazy shit
So many bad shotgun snaps tonight, now one against Oregon State, leading to a safety.
ReplyDeleteWhat a disaster for Oregon State. This game is all about over.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Oregon State. They always have these tough luck, better try next time loses.
ReplyDeleteESPN has dubbed next Saturday "Monster Saturday:" FSU-Oklahoma, Mich-ND, Miami-anOSU, Oregon-Tenn, Penn State-Bama.
ReplyDelete/why does my family have their yearly reunion every Mich-ND Saturday???????????????????
SportsCenter just played the Jacksonville State radio call of the 2-point conversion. Still not as good or as many screams as the Appy State call of the blocked FG in Ann Arbor.
ReplyDelete"Aspeaking of Orel Hershiser, how about the Cincinnati Reds?" - Kirk Herbstreit. Huh? What does Hershiser have anything to do with the Reds?
ReplyDeleteHopefully Joe Beninati isn't more drunk than I am calling the Wisconsin game in Vegas.
ReplyDelete97-yard touchdown UNC. They now trail LSU by 13.
ReplyDelete/Les Miloles
If I were hastily cobbling a Beninati-Stouffer Drinking Game, stepping on each other during the broadcast would be a 'Drink;' Stouffer mentioning 'mushing up in there' would be a 'Chug.'
ReplyDeleteBeninati sounds like a wrestling announcer from the 80's. I keep expecting Ric Flair to come out from the curtain.
ReplyDeleteUNC needs to go for this.
ReplyDeleteBeninati: "Lindsay, we did notice that you hair was blowing around so you have your own personal fan on the sidelines. Smart girl."
ReplyDeleteDamn, LSU went into Operation Shutdown in this 2nd half.
ReplyDelete/haven't watched a second of this game since Brent's Twitter advice
Les Miles thinks Butch Davis is butchering the clock.
ReplyDeleteUNC AIN'T DEAD YET! TOUCHDOWN HEELS!
ReplyDeleteTouchdown UNC! They are an extra point away from being within 6 of LSU with 2:32 left!
ReplyDeletePAT is good! And UNC has 2 timeouts left as well. If they can force a 3 and out, they will have plenty of time attempt a game-winning drive. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteUNC HAS THE BALL!!!!
ReplyDeleteUNC recovers the onside kick?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't 10 yards, but LSU touch the ball first.
ReplyDeleteUNC should get the ball, if only because the LSU player moved up to get it.
ReplyDeleteThat should be UNC ball, no? The UNC player hit the LSU player first, but the ball clearly was first touched by LSU.
ReplyDeleteUNC HAS THE BALL!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOLSU
ReplyDeleteIT'S UNC BALL!
ReplyDeleteLes Miloles
ReplyDeleteUNC's gonna win this. Pianolto with the 1st down.
ReplyDelete2:00 to go....
ReplyDelete4th and 5.
ReplyDelete4th down for UNC.
ReplyDeleteLSU has 3 timeouts left, plenty of time for clock shenanigans.
FUMBLE!!!!!! BALLGAME!
ReplyDeleteWell that was nice while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteUNC does still have 2 time outs to use.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Wendi Nix lost the Ashley Banfield glasses...
ReplyDelete/not really
FUMBLE!!!! UNC BALL!!!!
ReplyDelete1ST DOWN! FUMBLE! UNC BALL!
ReplyDeleteThis could only happen to LSU and Les Miles.
ReplyDelete73 yards to glory for UNC...
ReplyDeleteUNC has 1:08 to give Les Miles a nightmare he'll never forget.
ReplyDelete1st down at the 49 with 40 seconds left.
ReplyDeleteThis is bad clock management by UNC. And a false start. Not good, UNC. Not good.
ReplyDeleteLe-sh still would be a perfect (read: bumbling) Michigan coach.
ReplyDelete/if the new statue of RichRod isn't being created after today's 'great' win
1st down at the 35 with 19 seconds left. Injured Tar Heel on the field. Oh boy. Cue the LSU conspiracy theories.
ReplyDeleteAs I keep saying, Carr won more National Championships than Bo. Michigan fans will regret running him out of town.
ReplyDeleteMichigan fans will regret running him out of town.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since Ryan Mallett would've been the QB.
1ST DOWN AT THE 15!
ReplyDeleteAnd now an LSU player is down.
:10 left to go. A couple of throws to the end zone.
ReplyDelete2 shots at the endzone. Can't go short anymore unless it is to the sideline.
ReplyDelete:06 left.
ReplyDeleteOut of bounds at the 6-yard line. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteIncomplete with 2 seconds left!
ReplyDeleteOne last play.
ReplyDeleteLSU survives!
ReplyDelete"They did not win it, as much as they survived it, ladies and gentlemen." - Brent Musburger.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have plenty of other chances to laugh at LSU and Les Miles.
LSU escapes somehow. I'm sure LSU coaches/fans/players have to change their pants right now.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That's pass interference! LSU got away with pass interference on that last play. Oh my.
ReplyDeleteGood night fellas.
ReplyDeleteI'm tired and drunk. Never a good combination.
See ya, Keith.
ReplyDeletePerfect time for my Internet to temporarily die....
Check out Tim Brando's Twitter account for a good laugh. He is going off on SEC elitist fans. Truly an entertaining read.
ReplyDelete
