Via EDSBS: The sign of the day so far at College Gameday.


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.

  1. Why does Corso still do Gameday? I can't help but feel sorry for him.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Tebow would have never fumbled the snap.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I was hoping to find a less than legal stream for the Youngstown State-Penn State game. No luck.

    Bleh.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Wow! Two fumbles already for Florida.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Miami taketh and Miami giveth back.

    ReplyDelete
  6. @ 49er16: No luck. A link is there, but it says the video is not available yet, check back in a few moments.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Wow Florida has been terrible so far.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Florida has -28 years rushing thus far this game. For real.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Florida hardly looks like a Top 25 team, yet alone a top 5 team.

    ReplyDelete
  10. @JFein: You don't have the Big Ten Network where you are?

    ReplyDelete
  11. @ 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
  12. @JFein: Huh? I'm getting the game here in Philly.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'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.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Miami (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
  15. @ 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
  16. @JFein: You're not missing much. Penn State looks like crap.

    ReplyDelete
  17. America can take a sigh of relief. Stanzi is back in the game.

    ReplyDelete
  18. From everything I have read about the game, I am really liking the prospect of Robert Bolden as PSU QB for 3-4 years.

    ReplyDelete
  19. That being said, I think Bolden is one of PSU's few bright spots on the day.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Boston College is losing to Weber State.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Wendi Nix is back! But without the sexy glasses.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Robert Bolden looks like the real deal. RoBo FTW!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh No. Brian Griese just introduced the world to the "Grease Board."

    ReplyDelete
  24. @JFein: Have you checked out ESPN3 yet? You can have multiple screens open with games. I love it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. @ 49er16: Have not tried that ESPN3 feature out yet, but it sounds awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Robert Bolden stats: 20/29 239 yds 2 TDs

    By all accounts the freshman looked really really good today. If this is Penn State's future at QB, I am quite happy right now.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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.

    With not many other interesting games on now, I am watching the Philadelphia Union at 3:30.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Reporting live from Stanfurd Stadium parking lot. Typical furd fans not tailgating like us.

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Keith

    ended up being done at 3:15...but I am heading to the Orioles game tonight

    ReplyDelete
  30. I've got the UConn-Michigan game on my TV screen and the Wizards-Union game on my computer. Life is good.

    ReplyDelete
  31. @ 49er16: You are working at the Sac State-Stanford game?

    ReplyDelete
  32. @JFein: Nope, just here as a fan. Watching games inside an RV one of my friends drove down here.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Millen on the Michigan O-Line: "You look at these guys and don't see any guns."

    The RBs coach has the guns (at least the plastic ones) covered.

    ReplyDelete
  34. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  35. There went Rice's best chance against the Longhorns

    ReplyDelete
  36. Remember when Tate Forcier was suppose to be Michigan's Tim Tebow? Good times.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I acutally got sucked into the Forcier hype.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Everyone did, RJBO. Even I got sucked in. Until after the Sparty game.

    ReplyDelete
  39. McDonough: "Capacity expanded and they're making a lot of noise."

    Michigan fans don't make noise.

    /jingles keys

    ReplyDelete
  40. Rice with the goal line stand! Texas can't put 6 on the board!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Norrie about two toddlers waving to the camera: "I think that's the Shankopotamus kid."

    ReplyDelete
  42. *Not David Norrie, I think Brock Huard said that.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Denard Robinson: The new Pat White.

    /trying..not..to get..sucked...IN

    ReplyDelete
  44. TOUCHDOWN SHOELACE!

    /trying..not..to get...sucked...IN!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Millen is allowed back into the state of Michigan?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Millen: "I did return kicks in high school."
    McDonough: "I do not believe you. I need to see the film."

    ReplyDelete
  47. You know what? I still hate Notre Dame.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Texas is struggling against Rice. 3-3 in the 2nd quarter.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Florida isn't the only school having problems with the snap. Ugh Cal.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Touchdown Texas!

    time to change the channel

    ReplyDelete
  51. Keenan Allen is Desean Jackson 2.0, but he's not as crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  52. This is the UConn team that some had winning the Big East?

    Speaking of Shankapotamus, a 5 yard punt by UConn. Yeesh.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Keenan Allen isn't as fast as Deseasn Jackson, but he's bigger.

    ReplyDelete
  54. McDonough: "Lutrus is taking Introduction to Weightlifting. I have a feeling he's been introduced to weightlifting."

    AIDS Awareness must've been filled.

    /Andy Katzenmoyer'd

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hammond: "Purdue coming with a little Tim Tebow-lite."
    Mayock: "He looks a little like Tebow."

    ReplyDelete
  56. Tonight's college football games can't come soon enough.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Fast forward to Monday Night's game at FedEx....

    ReplyDelete
  58. Cal is sucking me in, only to disappoint me when they play Oregon, Oregon State, USC, Washington.........

    ReplyDelete
  59. Sean McDonough always sounds so bored doing college football.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Too bad the Peter King/ Mike Florio duo isn't the halftime report in hell.

    ReplyDelete
  61. WHAT A JUGGLING CATCH BY MICHAEL SMITH!

    /He was bound to catch one of those

    ReplyDelete
  62. Millen: "I think I saw that episode in 'Hoi Polloi.' Curly did the same thing."

    /obscure Three Stooges references for $1000, Alex

    ReplyDelete
  63. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  64. You're Wolverines look good RJBO.

    ReplyDelete
  65. It's early, Jay. They started 4-0 last year, only beating Delaware State the rest of the year.

    /but who knew Denard Robinson could pass?

    ReplyDelete
  66. @RJBO: That's what I'm talking about. Robinson has found the ability to pass. Michigan could be better than we expect.

    ReplyDelete
  67. No wonder Randy Shannon and Miami wanted nothing to do with Robert Marve. He sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Forcier looked good early, too.

    /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.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'm more disappointed ESPN split up Pammy and Bentley.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Heather Cox: "(Greg Robinson) looked like he won the lottery (after the fumble)." He did win the lottery, winning another year as DC.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Devin Gardner, beginning to loosen up for the Wolverines.

    /Pat Summerall's "Andre Ware, beginning to loosen up for the Lions."

    ReplyDelete
  72. Forcier isn't even the backup? Wow, he might be transferring soon.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Gardner was in for a few plays; Forcier denied he would transfer.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Danny Kanell: "Look at the wall of beef coming at your screen." Ewwwww.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I bet Forcier transfers by Nov or by the end of the year.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Vin Scully wouldn't be happy about that beach ball getting on the field in Michigan Stadium.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Stanford fans are so pathetic. They've barely filled this stadium and they make zero noise.

    /Drinks another Coors Light
    //I'm broke, so I'm drinking broke beer.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I'm broke, so I'm drinking broke beer.

    I 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."

    ReplyDelete
  79. Robert Marve is so dumb. He leaps into the end zone and costs Purdue a 15-yard touchdown.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I want to say Marve wanted to go to either Purdue or Michigan. He made the right choice.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Millen: "He's short...with my X-ray vision."
    After the turnover on downs confirmed by the chains:
    McDonough: "You're right, Superman."

    ReplyDelete
  82. Millen on Forcier being by himself on the bench: "A lonely little petunia in the onion patch."

    Jay's right...HE GONE!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Already 14-0 furd.

    /drinks another beer.

    ReplyDelete
  84. HOLY SHIT! Did you guys watch the Jacksonville State-Ole Miss game?

    ReplyDelete
  85. @Jay: Yep, thanks to ESPNEWS and their College Football Overdrive show. Early candidate for game of the year.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Michigan is forgiven. They never blew a 4th quarter lead like Ole Miss did today.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Did Ole Miss really blow a huge lead to Jacksonville State?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Oregon State: cornering the college football market on inconsistent strong-armed QBs.
    BTW, someone at ESPN make sure I don't see Holly Rowe's spotted chest ever again.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I updated the post with the video of game winning 2-point conversion by Jacksonville State.

    /now back to drunken bitterness

    ReplyDelete
  90. TCU (and their sparkle pants) tie the game in JerrahWorld.

    I still don't know how Mr. Football in Alabama wound up at Jacksonville State anyway.

    /great F-ing ending

    ReplyDelete
  91. Oregon State needs to find something different than just handing the ball off to Jacquizz Rodgers.

    ReplyDelete
  92. UNC is already in a world of hurt with the 3rd string RB fumbling the ball to LSU.

    ReplyDelete
  93. LOL LSU. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they lost this game.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Okay I'm done with Sac State torture. How the hell did UNC score?

    ReplyDelete
  95. How the hell are UNC and LSU tied at 7?

    ReplyDelete
  96. Brent: "Double-digit underdogs lead by a field goal." Sounds like someone put a few nickels on the Tigers...

    ReplyDelete
  97. Brent: "Hey Marvin (UNC DT Austin): Get yourself a sign that says 'Don't Drink & Twitter.' Put it up on a billboard."

    Winnar!

    ReplyDelete
  98. Got back to the RV in time to see the snap go over Yates' head for a safety.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Yeesh. At least Sac State didn't get beat as bad as San Jose State is right now against Bama.

    ReplyDelete
  100. LSU should be up by at least 10 more points, even after the punt return TD.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Keith, Oregon beat New Mexico 72-0. Mike Locksley is gonna beat up another assistant coach.

    ReplyDelete
  102. @RJBO: Did you read the Ann Arbor news? Forcier is most than likely gone.

    ReplyDelete
  103. This story, Keith? After the act he pulled on the bench, he was as good as gone. His act has worn thin all summer.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Yeah that story. What happened to him during the Summer? Is he a SoCal douche?

    ReplyDelete
  105. Forcier 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).

    ReplyDelete
  106. That's what I thought. A soft SoCal boy. Just like newly unemployed Matt Leinart.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Leinart 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.

    ReplyDelete
  108. How is Utah State hanging with Oklahoma????

    ReplyDelete
  109. Beth Mowins is already better than Pam Ward and the broadcast just started. Trent Dilfer, however...

    Dilfer: "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.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Oh Boy. Trent Dilfer calling his ala mater's school. And he keeps shouting.

    ReplyDelete
  111. I'm gonna put it on LSU-UNC until Wisky-UNLV starts. Brent might have some more Twitter advice from now until 11:00.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Didn't take long for Turner Gill's Wikipedia page to be hacked and changed.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Did David Carr just finish painting a friend's shed wearing that T-Shirt?

    ReplyDelete
  114. The 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.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Keith, 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.

    /totally understand the whole hate for Michigan with hacks like Wetzel spewing lazy shit

    ReplyDelete
  116. So many bad shotgun snaps tonight, now one against Oregon State, leading to a safety.

    ReplyDelete
  117. What a disaster for Oregon State. This game is all about over.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I feel bad for Oregon State. They always have these tough luck, better try next time loses.

    ReplyDelete
  119. ESPN has dubbed next Saturday "Monster Saturday:" FSU-Oklahoma, Mich-ND, Miami-anOSU, Oregon-Tenn, Penn State-Bama.

    /why does my family have their yearly reunion every Mich-ND Saturday???????????????????

    ReplyDelete
  120. 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
  121. "Aspeaking of Orel Hershiser, how about the Cincinnati Reds?" - Kirk Herbstreit. Huh? What does Hershiser have anything to do with the Reds?

    ReplyDelete
  122. Hopefully Joe Beninati isn't more drunk than I am calling the Wisconsin game in Vegas.

    ReplyDelete
  123. 97-yard touchdown UNC. They now trail LSU by 13.

    /Les Miloles

    ReplyDelete
  124. 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.'

    ReplyDelete
  125. Beninati sounds like a wrestling announcer from the 80's. I keep expecting Ric Flair to come out from the curtain.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Beninati: "Lindsay, we did notice that you hair was blowing around so you have your own personal fan on the sidelines. Smart girl."

    ReplyDelete
  127. Damn, LSU went into Operation Shutdown in this 2nd half.

    /haven't watched a second of this game since Brent's Twitter advice

    ReplyDelete
  128. Les Miles thinks Butch Davis is butchering the clock.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Touchdown UNC! They are an extra point away from being within 6 of LSU with 2:32 left!

    ReplyDelete
  130. PAT 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.

    ReplyDelete
  131. UNC recovers the onside kick?!?!?!?

    ReplyDelete
  132. That wasn't 10 yards, but LSU touch the ball first.

    ReplyDelete
  133. UNC should get the ball, if only because the LSU player moved up to get it.

    ReplyDelete
  134. That should be UNC ball, no? The UNC player hit the LSU player first, but the ball clearly was first touched by LSU.

    ReplyDelete
  135. UNC's gonna win this. Pianolto with the 1st down.

    ReplyDelete
  136. 4th down for UNC.

    LSU has 3 timeouts left, plenty of time for clock shenanigans.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Well that was nice while it lasted.

    ReplyDelete
  138. UNC does still have 2 time outs to use.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Too bad Wendi Nix lost the Ashley Banfield glasses...

    /not really

    ReplyDelete
  140. This could only happen to LSU and Les Miles.

    ReplyDelete
  141. UNC has 1:08 to give Les Miles a nightmare he'll never forget.

    ReplyDelete
  142. 1st down at the 49 with 40 seconds left.

    ReplyDelete
  143. This is bad clock management by UNC. And a false start. Not good, UNC. Not good.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Le-sh still would be a perfect (read: bumbling) Michigan coach.

    /if the new statue of RichRod isn't being created after today's 'great' win

    ReplyDelete
  145. 1st down at the 35 with 19 seconds left. Injured Tar Heel on the field. Oh boy. Cue the LSU conspiracy theories.

    ReplyDelete
  146. As I keep saying, Carr won more National Championships than Bo. Michigan fans will regret running him out of town.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Michigan fans will regret running him out of town.

    Especially since Ryan Mallett would've been the QB.

    ReplyDelete
  148. 1ST DOWN AT THE 15!

    And now an LSU player is down.

    ReplyDelete
  149. :10 left to go. A couple of throws to the end zone.

    ReplyDelete
  150. 2 shots at the endzone. Can't go short anymore unless it is to the sideline.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Out of bounds at the 6-yard line. Unbelievable.

    ReplyDelete
  152. "They did not win it, as much as they survived it, ladies and gentlemen." - Brent Musburger.

    We'll have plenty of other chances to laugh at LSU and Les Miles.

    ReplyDelete
  153. LSU escapes somehow. I'm sure LSU coaches/fans/players have to change their pants right now.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Oh wow. That's pass interference! LSU got away with pass interference on that last play. Oh my.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Good night fellas.

    I'm tired and drunk. Never a good combination.

    ReplyDelete
  156. See ya, Keith.
    Perfect time for my Internet to temporarily die....

    ReplyDelete
  157. Check out Tim Brando's Twitter account for a good laugh. He is going off on SEC elitist fans. Truly an entertaining read.
