ReplyDeletePicabo Street is the celebrity picker?
ReplyDeletePicabo Street hasn't aged well at all.
ReplyDeleteWow. That was a little too easy for Michigan.
ReplyDeleteDenard Robinson with yet another TD. Too bad the defense will let Bowling Green march down the field.
ReplyDeleteNot so far, RJBO.
ReplyDeleteSHOELACE! WOW WHAT A CUTBACK!
ReplyDelete/It is just Bowling Green
Wow, Denard Robinson.
ReplyDeleteBrian Griese: "Too much speed, too much grass."
ReplyDeleteThat would explain how you hurt yourself "tripping over your dog" in Denver.
+1 RJBO
ReplyDelete@RJBO: I heard Michigan made their bleachers thinner for they could complete their renovations. Is that true?
ReplyDeleteI want to say yes. They really try to squeeze as many people in there as possible.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: I'm a Penn State student. I went to the Penn State-Michigan game a couple of years ago in Ann Arbour. I didn't really like "The Big House" because it was too cramped. You can barely move in the stands.
ReplyDeleteUh oh. Denard might be hurt.
ReplyDeleteJay, that's a legitimate beef. I'm not the smallest man in the world, and I've been bunched up there.
ReplyDeleteDevin Gardner beginning to loosen up.
What happened to Robinson?
ReplyDeleteDenard hurt his knee going down out of bounds after a 35 yard run.
ReplyDeleteRobinson hurt before facing Big Ten defenses? Rich Rod just wet himself.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: I'm still bitter about that game. Michigan beat us 14-9 for their fist home win of this season.
ReplyDelete14-0 Toledo. Purdue is in a bad place right now.
ReplyDeleteDenard Robinson is done for the day. Per Quint Kessenich: "He did not tear his ACL."
ReplyDeleteFIU up 7-0 over Maryland. LET'S DO THIS SUN BELT.
ReplyDeleteThere's a weather delay for UCF-KState? Serves FSN-National right for showing the Wildcats again.
ReplyDelete/Red Bull Air Races in its stead on FS Detroit for now
@RJBO: I was wondering why CSN Bay Area was showing the Red Bull Air Races.
ReplyDeleteI see Czajkowski wasn't the only one to miss that FG for NC State. ESPN missed the kick themselves.
ReplyDeleteThis BGSU-Mich game isn't over yet. Nice drive by the Falcons.
ReplyDelete/can't have an agita-free Michigan game against a cupcake
I can't believe Greg Robinson won a couple of Super Bowl rings as the Denver Broncos defensive coordinator. And those defenses were always good.
ReplyDeleteHeh. RichRod called timeout as the BG kicker missed the PAT, presumably to get a replay of the TD. Of course, the PAT was good.
ReplyDeleteTo your point, Jay. Michigan had the 100th best defense in the nation last year, yardage wise. They are giving up 40 yards more this year than last.
ReplyDeleteMichigan is going to have to score a lot of points to beat Big Ten teams then.
ReplyDelete...and the Michigan TD is called back on a personal foul call.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, Michigan
ReplyDeleteThe bend but don't break Michigan defense just shattered into a million pieces.
ReplyDeleteCan Denard Robinson come back...to play defense?
ReplyDeleteA Tate Forcier sighting!
ReplyDeleteA Tater sighting. Must want to leave an impression before he transfers.
ReplyDeleteNow the leak and sieve Michigan defense will give up another touchdown.
ReplyDeleteForcier leads the TD drive! QB Controversy!
ReplyDelete/Philadelphia Eagles'd
What was Bowling Green thinking? 37 seconds is more than enough to score against Michigan.
ReplyDelete/back in 30 minutes
Note to self: Never wake up at 7:30 AM again just for the sake of watching Chelsea play Manchester City with Ian Darke announcing on ESPN.
ReplyDeleteDamn. Everything is a fucking blowout at this point.
ReplyDeleteEven my BU Huskies playing on the road at Millersville are winning via blowout.
My choice: listening to the 27-7 Bloomsburg game via online radio stream while desperately waiting for 3:30 to roll around.
ReplyDeleteGO HUSKIES!!!
Wischusen, on Forcier being in the game: "If you're just now joining us, this is not ESPN Classic and this is not a game from last year."
ReplyDeleteI like listening to extremely local broadcasts like this.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: Since we're the designated large men of these weekly chats, what did you have for lunch? I went and had an Animal Burger from In-and-Out.
ReplyDelete@JFein The FIU/Maryland game isn't a blowout...
ReplyDelete/gets paper bag ready...
Keith, Almond Chicken dinner with Shrimp Fried Rice from a local Chinese food place.
ReplyDeleteRob Stone: "Torrie Smith, there was some bumpin' and grindin' going on there."
ReplyDeleteBest game going, Kris.
@Justin: The Tennessee-UAB game isn't a blowout.
ReplyDelete/Rocky Top must be drinking their sorrow's away.
Michigan-Indiana next week is on the U? Bleh.
ReplyDelete/doesn't have ESPNU in HD
@RJBO better than NC State/Ga Tech?
ReplyDelete"Flag in the backfield." - BU PbP guy
ReplyDelete"That indicates either a holding or a roughing." - BU analyst
The penalty was offsides.
That game has some good back-and-forth action, now.
ReplyDelete/turns off FIU-UMD
//no offense, Kris
of course, just as I say that, NC State goes back up 10 after the TD pass to TJ Graham
ReplyDeleteCould NC State really win the ACC?
ReplyDelete@RJBO not offended in the least, I don't want to watch the Terps anymore either.
ReplyDelete/Fire Franklin & Friedgen
@RJBO: If you didn't notice, the Central Florida-Kansas State game is finally on. And K-State is losing to UCF.
ReplyDelete@ kt and Keith:
ReplyDeleteTOUCHDOWN HUSKIES!!! 37-7 Bloomsburg. Lol Millersville.
DA'REL SCOTT!!
ReplyDelete/beat Duke nest week & the Terps will go to a bowl...
//I'll bet the mortgage on Duke
After a NASCAR promo, sponsored by Burger King:
ReplyDeleteSpielman: "That'll be a Whopper of a race, Dave."
Pasch: "Try the veal, Chris. You'll have two servings."
Keith, earlier I was just wondering why the Air Races were on instead of the game. I have no interest in UCF-KState.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't trust NC State at all.
@RJBO: I have no interest in that game as well. Plus Joel Meyers is calling that game. Scum Lakers announcer.
ReplyDelete/bitter Kings fan
I see Phil Fullmer isn't on the CBS studio show. I guess they don't want him shitting all over Lane Kiffin again.
ReplyDelete31-20 Toledo over Purdue late in the 4th. Nice to see that Michigan isn't the only Big 10 team that can lose to them.
ReplyDeleteBrian Griese after a NASCAR promo: "What was that big thing holding the car? Was that the 'Big Green Machine?' 'Godzilla?'"
ReplyDeleteHeh? Wazzu is beating U$C and Kifffykins.
ReplyDeleteBrando with the BCS scenarios? Drink.
ReplyDeleteGeorge O'Leary and his fake resume's are bright red. He enjoys the Florida sun a little too much.
ReplyDeleteTied game in Knoxvull. Kiffykins left that school in a mess.
ReplyDeleteAnother Huskies TD.
ReplyDeleteKeith, for that reason alone, he shouldn't have taken that job in UCF. O'Leary needs SPF 1500: He squeezes the tube and out comes a burqa.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first time I've watched the College Football Today show on CBS. "Fly in the Ointment" segment? Really?
ReplyDeleteBrando with more BCS nightmare scenarios. Chug.
Phil Simms reproduced some crappy quarterbacks.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, Keith. Fulmer has been bumped down to Inside College Football on CBS College Sports. He's sitting next to Brian Jones, who didn't realize Iowa City was West of the Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Eastern Michigan-Ohio State on ESPN?
ReplyDeleteEastern Michigan on ABC and ESPN today? Did they just want to mail it in against Alabama-Arkansas on CBS? I don't think even EMU grads want to see Eastern.
ReplyDelete/looks in mirror
Bloomsburg 44, Millersville 7.
ReplyDeleteFINAL
Hold on. You're a EMU grad? What year?
ReplyDeleteKeith, 2004.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Eastern Michigan located?
ReplyDeleteThat was fast!
ReplyDeleteYpsilanti, Michigan, six miles east of the University of Michigan.
ReplyDeleteWhat a run by Terrelle Pryor. Yikes.
UAB kicker missed his fifth FG of the day. And that one could have won the game.
ReplyDelete@ RJBO: For some reason, I always thought you were a few years older.......
ReplyDeleteI would guess RJBO is a good six years older than me. I was 16 back in 2004.
ReplyDeleteI've got Temple-PSU on my computer and Bama-Arkansas on my TV. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteStop making me feel like an old man!
ReplyDelete/half-kidding
Liking this start by Arkansas.
ReplyDelete/Fuck Saban
How do you drop that? That would have been a pick-six.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: You're still younger than Kris.
/Sorry old man Kris
@RJBO: I'm surprised you're rooting for Mallett.
ReplyDeleteTouchdown Temple. They are one of the favorites in the MAC.
ReplyDeleteBTN Graphic:
ReplyDelete"Ohio 7
PSU 3"
Fail.
I don't have any ill feelings for Mallett. He would've look as lost at Threet had he stayed at Michigan, especially with the wide receiver defections after Lloyd retired.
ReplyDelete"Bernard Pierce pierces the endzone." - Chris Martin
ReplyDeleteThe Fighting Charlie Batches having an uphill battle against anOSU today.
ReplyDeleteI honestly would not be surprised in the least if Temple wins this game.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't ABC/ESPN pick Temple-Penn State? I don't think many eyeballs are going to be on a 73-3 ass-handing, even if a name brand team like Ohio State is involved.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Trent Richardson isn't better than Mark Ingram. Wow.
ReplyDeleteTouchdown Temple. The PAT is botched. Owls lead it 13-6. Again, not surprising.
ReplyDeleteArkansas lucky to land on that DJ Williams fumble.
ReplyDelete...and not to have that last pass picked.
Sportspickle tweet: "Joe Paterno is thinking: 'I can't believe I lived long enough to see Temple become good at football.'"
ReplyDeleteHow about Temple?
ReplyDelete/I hate the Owls
Houston plays the loudest, worst siren after a Cougar TD. Like a little kid imitating an ambulance siren into a megaphone.
ReplyDeleteMcElroy with a soccer-like flop after that fumble.
ReplyDeleteFalse start negates the great defensive stop by Arkansas; Bama forced to punt.
ReplyDeleteWow, Penn State got lucky on that play. Lucky.
ReplyDeleteEMU on the board! Celebrate RJBO!
ReplyDeleteGreg Childs the great catch, with the injury to boot.
ReplyDeleteIf Childs doesn't have an ACL tear after that play, I'll be surprised.
ReplyDeleteThe Fighting Kevin Walters on the board!
ReplyDeleteCatch stands. Bama's secondary getting shredded so far.
ReplyDeleteChilds' hamstring getting checked out, per Tracy Wolfson.
Terrible pick by Mallett. Just brutal.
ReplyDeleteMallett = Jay Cutler
ReplyDeleteHe'll throw more INT's than touchdowns.
Whoa. Whoa. UCLA's leading Texas???
ReplyDeleteTemple leads it 13-9, but Sukay just got an INT. PSU ball in Temple territory with under 3 to go in the half.
ReplyDeleteTexas fumble! UCLA ball!
ReplyDeleteFUCLA actually looks good against Texas.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteArkansas doesn't have the defense to stop Bama.
ReplyDeleteANOTHER Red Zone pick today in Fayetteville. Bleh.
ReplyDeleteMallett and McElroy trading INT's.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: I wouldn't trust Kevin Prince with a BB gun.
This is like an ACC game. Except, you know, talent.
ReplyDeleteBolden denied on 4th down on the QB sneak.
ReplyDeleteTemple takes a knee to end the half, up 13-9.
ReplyDeleteMillen: "Neuheisel doesn't trust his QB."
ReplyDeleteI had to delete that earlier comment, Keith. I confused Kevin Prince for Kevin Craft. Both named Kevin, both played for UCLA and both blow/blew.
Good God. Gilbert just threw another pick, fourth Texas turnover.
ReplyDeleteGarrett Gilbert is playing like a Freshman QB.
ReplyDelete2-0 Union!
ReplyDeleteUCLA wants to make this game a little closer:
ReplyDeletePrince fumble, then back-to-back flags on Hester.
UCLA leads Texas 13-3 at the half.
ReplyDeleteArkansas to the Alabama half-yard line after some nice throws and a good run by Davis.
17-7 Arkansas
ReplyDeleteThe chick in the pic after the pick looks like she's about to say, "Huh, shug?"
ReplyDelete@RJBO: I'm laughing because I have relatives in Texas and that's how they talk.
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHIT. Richardson had a chance to take that all the way. Wow.
ReplyDeleteSaban looks like he's ready to kill someone.
ReplyDeleteMayock: "Call that the Peek-a-boo screen."
ReplyDeleteIf it involved the Picabo on College Gameday, it would also be called an eclipse.
Heh. UCLA only had 6 yards of passing in the 1st half. Prince matched that on his 1st throw of the 2nd half.
ReplyDeleteUCLA leads 20-3. Incredible.
ReplyDelete/46 points away from reversing the 1997 "Route 66" game
I keep forgetting Texas has a Freshman QB.
ReplyDelete/Never Trust a Freshman
I'm probably the only one that cares about this, but the Philadelphia union currently have their 1st 3-goal lead ever.
ReplyDeleteBernard Pierce is injured and being assisted off the field. Huge blow to Temple.
ReplyDeleteBama looks terrible today.
ReplyDeleteHolding wipes out a nice return by Penn State.
ReplyDeleteMartin: "I'm happy I put in new contacts, 'cause that was a blur."
SMITH RETURNS THE PUNT IT TO THE 6!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut there is a flag down that will bring the return back.
"I'm just glad I brought my contacts today because this guy is a blur." - Chris Martin on Davon Smith
Damn, Bama. Does Antonio Langham & George Teague still have eligibility?
ReplyDeleteDanielson: "Drew Brees doesn't have better footwork than Mallett did there." ?
Danielson on Ryan Mallett's height: "Shrunkenage. What difference does one inch make?"
ReplyDeletePenn State has to settle for a FG. 13-12 Temple.
ReplyDeleteJesus Danielson is a tool. He compared Mallett to Brees.
ReplyDelete@ RJBO: I'm sorry America has to see Eastern Michigan get romped like this on National TV.
ReplyDelete"Bingo!"-Verne
ReplyDeleteHow did that kicker make that?
EMU sports have always been terrible (with a few exceptions). Counting this monstrosity, Eastern will have a 16 game losing streak.
ReplyDelete"If looks could kill, he is definitely upset now." - Charissa Thompson
ReplyDeleteINTERCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You'll go right out of bounds next time, McElroy. That half-a-stiff-arm didn't help.
ReplyDelete"This will be close to a first down"-Verne
ReplyDeleteRichardson was a good two yards past the first down marker.
New York Life sponsoring the LOS on CBS.
ReplyDelete/no organ music, though
Eric Collins thinks he is the 2nd coming of Gus Johnson. The paramedics waiting outside the booth in case his screaming gives him a heart attack agree.*
ReplyDelete* - I do not know for sure if there are paramedics outside the booth.
Penn State fails in the red zone yet AGAIN. Field goal gives them a 15-13 lead.
ReplyDeleteColin Wager is 5/5 on field goals today.
ReplyDelete/Offensive MVP
The Texas FG cuts the UCLA lead to 20-6.
ReplyDeleteBama not done yet.
ReplyDeleteMartin: "What can Brown do for you? Not much on this play."
ReplyDelete"What can Brown do for you? Not much on this play." - Chris Martin
ReplyDeletePlenty of good seats still available at Paul Brown Stadium.
ReplyDelete/Kenny Mayne'd
27-6 FUCLA
ReplyDeleteTexas didn't join the Pac-10 because they're afraid of UCLA.
27-6 UCLA after the 38 yard scamper by Kevin Prince. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWagner misses his 1st FG of the day.
ReplyDeleteVerne: "Nick Saban seems fired up."
ReplyDeleteUnderstatement.
Phillies clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight, though their magic number to clinch the NL East is currently at 2. A win tonight would reduce that number to 1.
ReplyDeleteThis game has sideline brawl written all over it.
ReplyDeleteWorst. 1st Down line. Ever, CBS.
ReplyDeleteCan Penn State FINALLY score a touchdown and end this?
ReplyDeleteTOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDavie on Ochocino's ride: "That was a Mark Jones wannabe signature edition."
ReplyDeleteMallett has been getting drilled in the 2nd Half.
ReplyDeleteI'm setting up a live blog tonight for the Phillies, who can clinch a playoff spot with a win. Feel free to join and discuss college football.
ReplyDeleteCool. Too bad the Giants-Rockies game is on MLB Network for me (Mets-Phillies in SF & Colorado markets).
ReplyDelete/no offense, Keith
Oh Mallett
ReplyDelete@RJBO: But the Giants are in a tighter pennant race than the Phillies?
ReplyDelete/I'm not watching either games tonight.
Ingram!
ReplyDeleteTouchdown Ingram!
ReplyDelete@ 49er16: Feel free to join in and talk about the college football games anyway. I don't mind.
ReplyDeleteSaban must be the luckiest coach in America. Teams just give Bama victories.
ReplyDeleteKeith, just for the sake of commenting in a Phillies live-blog, I'd like to see the game that's the main focus.
ReplyDelete/Oregon State-Boise State & WVU-LSU mostly for me tonight
DROPPED!
ReplyDeleteLive blog is up and emails have been sent. I have to step out for about 20 minutes or so.
ReplyDeleteThen again, maybe I'll wait to step out til the end of the Arkansas game.
ReplyDeleteAlready logged in; waiting for the end of Alabama-Arkansas.
ReplyDeleteANOTHER TERRIBLE PICK BY MALLETT!
ReplyDeleteLOL Mallett
ReplyDeleteMallett is devolving into Jevan Snead in front of our eyes in this 4th.
ReplyDeleteTimeout Arkansas.
What a difference in half's.
ReplyDeleteUCLA putting the finishing touches on Texas. 34-12 Bruins.
ReplyDelete4th and inches upcoming for Bama.
ReplyDeleteVerne: "Field goal doesn't do the Razorbacks any good."
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen Bobby Williams since he was ran out of East Lansing.
ReplyDeleteANOTHER Bama timeout as they had 10 on the field. Dumb.
ReplyDeleteGot the 1st. Ballgame Bama.
ReplyDelete"Noel Devine needs a new brake realignment"--Ron Franklin
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHIT! Foles with the TD pass to take the lead over Cal 10-9!!
ReplyDelete/Forgot about Fox College Sports West
//still up 'cause I'm wasted
Riley PICKED! But a fumble! STILL ARIZONA BALL!
ReplyDelete
