Having to work the first part of the day, into the SEC game. My stomach is turning over and I can’t focus on anything. I’m glad we’ve got a night game, but I may very well pass out by then. Bring it on already so I can rest for a few weeks.

Strangely...

I’m not nervous. I think it must be my faith in Colt’s decision making and Coach Boom’s adjustment capability.

Let’s hope all our boys come ready to play and fired up. I want to see Husker helmets rolling around the field.

It is strange

Everything tells me that I need not worry or be nervous, but I still get that gut wrench in the 24 hrs to a week prior to games like this.

I too have faith in these guys. As long as Team Boom and the Goon Squad resemble the first 11 games, I expect the rolling of said helmets.

Defensive Performance against Aggies = Huge Plus Today

I could be crazy – but the Aggie defensive effort will create an intensity that will rain down on the Huskers all day.

no doubt

I can’t imagine anyone allowing a repeat. They will most def be fired up. I want to see explosions and hear pops on tv.

Pat Forde

just dropped Muschamp’s name as a Notre Dame HC candidate. Dickweed.

creating stories

I think the media is hurting for storylines this year, so they perpetuate these stories without any support. They disregard coaches coming out and denying interest. On the other hand, it’s certainly not uncommon for coaches to say on thing and do another, unfortunately.

On a completely different note, why is it that ESPN reports speak sooooo slowly during their sign off?

—I..n……..M…a..i..n..e………………, I’mmmm …………………A..r…c…t…i…c…l…o..n..g…h…o..r…n…….., B…O…NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Not Good Fit For Will

That is not the right job for a DC to jump into. Too much of a media circus, too complex politics, national recruiting efforts to direct – think Will not be the guy there. However, I do not feel he will replace Mack – just too much money to be made and Mack is not going anywhere. Mack is getting better every year, energy level higher every year – I am guessing he has at least 5-10 years left. Will headed to Georgia in 2011 to succeed Richt. Richt fired the coordinators this year, another bad year and his head gets chopped. Saban to Bama, Kiffin to Tenn has Ga teetering on the edge of irrelevance.

Desmond Howard Leaves Colt off of Heisman Ballot

Figures one of the least deserving winners (over Peyton Manning?) of all time would not get it right.

Charles Woodson won over Peyton Manning

Don’t know who Howard won over, but he had the highest margin of victory ever at that time.

Ty - Getting Old
I have gotten so sick of the Tebow fest on ESPN

that I am now watching EPL..

Villa 1 Stoke 0

I made the exact same decision
Even Tebow has to be sick of all his media coverage
think i just threw up a little in my mouth

will we see as much of Colt prior to Big XII?

I am so sick of this that I hope FL gets blown out and Tebow gets crippled the first play

This is getting ridiculous…

Hopefully in jest on your second point
yeah...

I am curious what they would do for media coverage if he got knocked out? It is pretty obvious that the entire set of stock productions for the entire game will have a Tebow flavor. If Tebow is out they either have to use the stuff they have prepared for Bama or just go with dead air.

or a whole lot of sideline shots of Tebow… less attention on the game. And then of course Bama only won because he was out.

Really Think Colt Beats Media Machine for the Heisman

I think finishing as the all time winningnest QB and most accurate of all time will resonate.

You would think so...

But I’ve heard numerous “unbiased reporters” say that tebows best quality is that he is an ultimate winner..sure he wins alot but ultimate means most so hopefully your right

not prepared to do this, but in the same spirit of our drinking game with mention of roommates, fathers, brothers, etc., how ugly could it get with CBS mention of missionary, bible verse, roommates, the speech, etc.

Anyone want to work on the rules for tonight's game?

Drink on :
Roommates
Brothers
Heisman
Nebraska history
Texas 70-3 blowout of CU
Tebow

throwing tebow into tonight’s game, eh? may be frequent.

why not

I am at the point that every time I hear them talk about Tebow now I want to drink anyways…

can’t play this game if it’s UT/UF in pasadena

no... we would die
Kiffin picking on GameDay?
Why all the body guards, Lane?

snicker

If I was him with all those rednecks - would double that total
He'll say something to get himself in the news, just because
Give Him Some Props for not dodging coaching edge question.

Picked Saban over Meyer. I would have gone the other way – can get your ass kicked by Gators every year – Bama only 2 of 4.

I love

that he said that openly. I love to see the hate spew over even when their team is not good

Not Popular Opinion But

SEC in a league of their own. Beating either of these teams will require a herculean effort.

Pitt or Cincy today?
sorry but I had to change the tebow subject
The Stache ftw
Pitt

Haven’t been sold on Cincl all year

I think Cincy will surprise people.

Two really good quarterbacks will beat Pitt’s defense.

Not Sure they can stop the run though.

Bearcats defense has looked shaky.

yeah

but only one q can take the snaps, thank you Mark May.

I like the Longhorn flag right behind the game day guys
All the anticipation over a NU upset

Might actually help Texas with public opinion if it’s a blowout, right? 3 weeks ago no one thought this would even be close, but BCS chaos-mongering lulled many into believing Nebraska has a very good chance. Which should make a hefty game by McCoy much more convincing, if it happens.

Beating Vegas Today Boys

Love the Georgia Tech over Clemson pick em

Do we play today?
Yes. In the afterthought bowl
Kiffin Picks Tide

Spewing Urban Hate

On the one hand

appreciate the 4letter giving Corso a chance to continue his head gear picks, but on the other hand, it is difficult to watch the guy struggle with his post-stroke communication handicap. Give ’em hell, Lee. We are all pulling for you.

doing very well, considering.

Yeah, I don't notice anything unless someone else mentions it
Corso Publicly Battling Thru Stroke Admirable - Still Thinks He Adds Alot to Broadcast.
Kudos to coach Corso

He has my utmost respect. His passion for the gameday program speaks volume.

Thank the lord that is over with
I Give Kiffin Credit

He has to make a splash in every way possible to try to catch the Gators. He is really doing a nice job there. He will drive Georgia out of the number 2 slot in the east.

One of my favorite thing about living in SoCal

It’s December, I’m in my shorts, and I get to watch a lot of snowy football from the rest of the country

Best Thing Bout Cincy Pitt

Matt Millen at their game – that means we don’t have to put up with that azz

best thing for me is the snow
Pelini in earlier interview w/ Salters

Said he expects to win by stopping Texas’ running game. Think we’ll try? Can Tre get the good blocks?

I think we’ll see Colt dance more than anything.

Cincy D looks weak
They Are in For Long Day against Pitt Run Game
Lewis all 12 touches on the TD drive

11 rushed 51yds and a TD and a 5 yd catch

Dion Lewis

is a beast.

Houston...57 yard touchdown pass...

The latest Stoops ND rumor from a mizzou guy on OB

I am at the point I just start laughing at these now…

Terms I’ve heard floated:

6.5 million a year
6 year contract
complete control over player discipline
JUCO transfers will be allowed as well some marginal acedemic cases

Stoops has been silent the last couple of days. He was able to fend off Sooner Nation early in the week with his non-denial denials.

OU will not know what hit them SOONER than later. The move will be quick and decisive. It will go from mocking people who think he is leaving to ND to OMG he left.

It is time to start looking for a new coach Boomer.

MIZ ZOU!
Kelly not stoops to nd - even has Irish surname
Whitlock likes the horns a lot today.

Tweeples, here’s my Whit-LOCKS of the day: Fresno State on ML, Cincy -2, Fla. -5, and my pay-your-mortgage pick: Texas in a romp.
TD PITT

flea flicker

Pittsburgh torching Cinci

no answer.

Frogs getting the first half of their daily double so far
I wonder if ABC . . .

. . . will gather a bunch of TCU players/coaches in a room tonight and put a camera on them as they watch our game

Wouldn't surprise me if they did....
Lewis is a great back.
ECU sign on first row:

“His mom is the only COUGAR I like -———>”

Nice sign...
Why is the boring run run run ......

Beat down of the flashy pass oriented Cincinnati starting to bother me ?

Cinci has no D

UT does

Should have kicked it out of the endzone
wow

blocked punt. cincy not looking good at all.

It was like a basketball blocked shot
Thats what we need to do

I expect our special teams will do the same against Nebraska tonight

Yep, they are sure digging themselves a hole...

Doubtful they will be able to come back from this..

Not so fast, my friend

It still a 1st half….

will cinci drop out of the top 25?

hahahahaha.

Time for

Zach Collaros, maybe?

You'd think.

Collaros is better on the shorter passes though, so it’ll be harder for Cincy to come from behind quick enough with him. Still easier than if Pike keeps throwing INTs, though, so BK really should make the switch.

So...Cincy

Not gonna play for a title?

Hey, they're playing for the big one right now!

The Big East title!

wow

how clutch was that kickoff return for Cincy

Gilyard OOPS.

so what the hell did #1 do with that? he just stopped running.

I think # 1 is just that slow..
tables turning?

Pitt now playing as bad as Cincy was

Damn

In the other big game of the day, Hopkins just fell behind 12-0 in the third quarter of their DIII quarterfinal.

Everyone else is following this one as well, right? :)

I would

but ESPN 360 is not covering it :(

Streaming audio!
If it ain't video

FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET!

It's DIII. We take what we can get!
Pitt INT
Right back at you
It's like a game you'd play growing up . . .

. . . and the same guy is QB for both teams. And that QB is Chris Simms.

nightmare brewing for the Bowties
The icicle on the dreadlock was awesome

i thought that was a charm or a piece of jewelry….are you sure it was an icicle?

it was

puka shells. lame.

Damn. That takes away all awesomeness.
Kelly showing some real leadership throwing the kicker under the bus there
The cracks are showing

on the head coach

He'll be perfect

as head golden domer.

Anybody else following Houston in the Conf USA Champ?
yeah, watching half-time

espn’s studio personality just said “it’s hard to argue that alabama and florida don’t have the two best defenses in the country”.

i guess that’s true if you don’t look at things like statistics through 12 games and stuff like that….

UNC Kentucky

anyone watching? JOhn Wall had a sick dunk in the first couple of minutes

Sun Bowl

suggests that they might try and set up a Stoops Bowl – Arizona vs. Oklahoma.

Not goin to happen. I read on espn sun bowl head would honor b stoops request not to play zona

jesse palmer loving on roommates
I would be drunk already if we runnung GDT rules on the half time shows
first Texas coverage I've seen all day
gameday did some, but it's been all Tebow.

Just imagine Verne and CBS this afternoon. Will be over the top I’m sure.

I only caught the end of gameday, but what I saw was all Ess-Eee-See.
Riot almost broke out

at start of 2nd half of Coog-Pirate game.

Pike about to be benched
becoming a game in Pitt
Dion Lewis

Very impressed today, but 33 carries for just over 110 yards, not exactly Barry Sanders as the was being suggested earlier

What Millen meant

Is that if he was a gm he would draft him and pay him as if he was Barry Sanders

Anyone else getting psyched about a Pitt-Clemson Orange Bowl?
What is the BCS order?

Sugar, fiesta, then what?

General projections

If GT wins tonight, it’s generally believed that the bowls would be:

Sugar: SEC-Big East
Orange: GT-TCU
Fiesta: Big 10-Boise

Not sure what order. The complication which emerges with a Clemson victory, though, is that it would set up an unwanted and unnecessary rematch between TCU and Clemson.

That would probably shift the bowls to:

Sugar: SEC-TCU
Orange: Clemson-Big East
Fiesta: Boise-Big 10

Apparently, there’s very little chance of the Fiesta taking the Big East winner, particularly Pitt, unless they absolutely have to, since there’s some lingering resentment about the 45 fans Pitt brought to Tempe five years ago.

And of course the other complication which could happen is . . .

(censoring self right now)

Pike

should’ve been benched by now

or maybe not

Pike to Woods TD

This Pitt-Cinci game ...

It is like Pitt doesn’t want to win

Neither does Cinci
tony romo though the hold on the extra point was excellent.
Great game going on

Hoping Pitt will drive down and score!

Totally a facemask in Pittsburgh

Terrible call.

Pitt down to the 5
TD pittsburg under 2 minutes remaining
Anyone think Cinci will score?
not really any defense here is there?
wow missed PAT by pitt
blew the XP

I will laugh if Cinci wins by 1

Pitt is gonna give up a touchdwon and lose.
Keenan just threw a pick in the endzone . . .

. . . with less than a minute. ECU will win.

There are some unhappy Frogs right now
33 seconds

2 timeouts for pitt. need a field goal to win it.

Weird

in the UH/ECU and CINN/PIT game, there have been 5 combined extra point attempts that were either no good or botched.

what a game

I want no similar drama this evening.

Did Cincy let Pitt score their last TD . . .

. . . in order to have enough time left on the clock for a comeback?

Notre Dame did the exact same thing last week
poor game management by Pitt.

they look silly.

That holder

Is going to hide under a rock all Christmas break.

lol....hiding?

But man, I feel for bad for him.

Lol

What pathetic coaches at Pitt. Fourth down and 10 and you call playaction? Lol. So much fail. That’s why you’re Pitt.

4th and 10 with 10 seconds, play action....

great call by Pitt there….

I knew Cincy had it in them

wasn't impressed with either of those teams
Tony Pike is horribly overrated

Gilyard is a beast, though.

Anyone watching the end of the Illinois-FResno State game?

Ridiculous.

Pitt is not...

a smart football team…

Between the end of the first half, and the end of the second, just how many incredibly dumb mistakes did they make? Yikes…

Pitt pretty much choked this one away
Barkley's first pass = INT for USC.
speaking of horribly overrated players
ah... I don't know if that's really fair...

he is a true freshman, after all. He could end up pretty scary in a couple of years.

Did you watch ESPN during the 1st half of the season?

Matt Barkley was the 2nd coming of Tebow. They all said how he was playing way beyond his years. He was majorly hyped through the first half of the season before USC imploded. Sure, he could improve, but he was overrated and overhyped this year.

yeah, ok, that's fair...

he was certainly overhyped. The “epic” drive against Ohio State, where he basically gave the ball to McKnight and let him take the team on his shoulders… only to get all the credit for “leading” the drive. I guess he deserved credit for not fumbling the snap or the handoff, but…

I just think we tend to pile on a little unfairly, he certainly showed some good stuff, and like I said, he is a freshman. And he’s no more over-credited than Tebow, at least…

No one is more over-credited than Tebow

He is on a plane of hype and adulation all by himself.

whoa, Foles looks like he should be playing bass for a bad band.
loving cbs highlights-of-the-season video

cbs is trying hard to convince America that Texas does not exist.

+1

ive seen 3 tech highlights and about a 2 second clip of the RRS

yep

i saw AW hit on Bradford, that’s it

I loved the montage

Exciting final second play, exciting final second play, exciting final second play, Tim Tebow walking, Tim Tebow walking…

how about the Gator with a little eye-gouging action on the opposing player in the pile?
Exactly!

I counted only one 1/2 second clip of Texas during that three minute compilation. cbs and the sec, I guess I shouldn’t expect anything more.

That was really sickening......Where the hell were we ?????
So, if Arizona pulls off the "upset"

does that put USC in the sun for a rematch of a hilarious title game for the ages?

Tebow walking with the bouquet of flowers

makes my sides hurt.

Is it bad to say that I am considering to muting this one?

and just turning on some music or something

I'm considering studying instead

and just checking what’s happening every 20 minutes or so. I don’t think I can stand it.

i do that...

all the time these days. very, very few tolerable announcers on television. i envy those of you who will be able to listen to Austin AM radio with the game on mute tonight.

Oh sweet

Epic historical SEC title game video

killing Meyers and Saban to read prompter
Good God!

This is ridiculous

Sickening

Some obnoxious members of my law school class are also UF/Bama alums. They are having a gamewatch party today. An excerpt from the facebook event description:

“Come watch the real National Ch—er, the SEC Championship Game with some obnoxious fans, featuring the two best teams in the nation playing for the right to play in the BCS National Championship Game.”

Makes me want to punch kittens.

kittens suck.

I love kittens

That’s how enraged I am by delusional SEC fans.

come on bama

monkey stomp FL…

But do it with Ingram on the bench

Witness a Tebow Miracle

http://getbehindjesus.net/SeeHim.html

ROLLLLLLL TIDE

that is way creepy.

Angus McDouglas

Witness a mircle and see Tebow on his ASS!!!

RE: USC/Zona

Am i seeing this correctly…USC couldn’t sell out the Coliseum?

well, it is a town of front-runners...
i won't be able to stand Verne for long.
WOW! LOOK AT THIS ....SPREAD!

Vern is speechless

b-b-but...but...this is the Ess-Eee-See!
who calls the offense for Alabama?
kirby smart
thanks.

I wasn’t sure how much control the OC has over Sabin

read somewhere that Smart may replace Kelly, should he go to ND

I am going tolaugh when Bama marches up and down on FL

with the spread with McElroy lighting them up

Forget the contest,

it’s obvious now that McElroy deserves the Heisman. I’m sending in my ballot at the half.

Hang on

McCoy has not even touched the field.
He has another day like aTm and its all his,
But I will take another NC over a Heisman anyday.

im pretty sure horndude was being sarcastic…lol

me too

I was neutral about who I wanted to win, but that would be hilarious to see

Vern has lost a few steps.

seems to have a hard time doing play by play.

it is much easier for him to just say Tebow
I remember him . . .

. . . from his “Bowling For Dollars” days with WFAA in Dallas in the mid-70s.

Yeah, I’m dating myself.

Vern's microstrokes kick in if the nameTebow isn't in a sentence.
Anyone notice USC didn't sell out the

Collesuim on senior day?

i noticed that

a few minutes ago…pretty sad statement about your fanbase.

It's not surprising about that front-running fanbase at all
They made a huge mistake when they scheduled the game

at the same time as a wine-tasting across town.

it wasn't even close

it’s like, sc football is soooo 2004.

I hear Will Ferrell was on the sidelines of the Civil War

and is now going all out buying Oregon gear for the Rose Bowl

You mean Snoop Dogg

I think Ferrell is a USC alum, so he’s OK

Is he?

Snoop then.

"Best against best"

Already sick of this.

How did Tebow lose nine games?

I guess that was before he defeated Satan?

He's only lost 5 games as a starter..
Jesus had to humble Himself and suffer

before He could return victorious and triumphant for the good of humanity.

he was still dabbling in carpentry
LOL it is goign to be a long day for FL
John 16:33

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” – Tim Tebow

Noticed that too

Googled the verse…amazingly similar to the media image of himself. Hmm.

Wow Tebow

so tenacious.

His receivers have to help him out and catch the pass.
Yeah, that dropped pass would have got the first down..
SEC Diamond Moment

makes me cry every time.

I don't see field goals beating Florida...

So, hopefully Bama can start getting in the endzone.

VY will beat Colts tomorrow!

Take it to the bank!

Damn broadcast rules

I’m stuck with the Chargers-Browns game here in SoCal instead.

Channelsurfing.net

Is your friend :)

But I really like my 65" HD!

lol…..I hear you.

VY is making a point

he will win that game

One of the only times I'm glad

that we get all Bears and Colts, every week without fail.

Try living in Houston
any chance we wear the nike combat unis again tonight?
Sure as hell hope not
we are wearing all white tonight

but wondering if the road unis will be the “combat” version sans numbers on the helmet and DKR emblem.

I think

we’re the road team, so our traditional road uni’s

McElroy is getting a lot of time to throw

Dunlap loss is hurting the Tebows

Alabama looks really good right now.
Wow

Bama is looking good.
Texas will match up better with Bama
ROLLLLL TIDE

The spread hurts Fl

no way to FL to scheme to stack the run if they have to respect the pass from the spread

I like Florida's all-white uniforms

But no one does it as well as Texas.

yeah, their pretty sweet, but no albert on the helmets = bad luck for the gators.

Yeah, don't wear throwbacks in a championship game
jeez vern....

mcelroy never put the ball down…

"was that a fumble or a forward pass?" ?????
get this man off of television

also, “FACEMASK! Or a HORSE COLLAR!”

Roll call - who are you rooting for?

Bama for me.

Bama

can’t take the Tebow love fest

Not a football expert

but ’Bama is supposed to be a better matchup for us. Roll Tide.

Wife's family is huge Bama.

I want in-law blood.

Wow

Really? blood?

Bama I guess

but I’d be okay with either. Florida is looking very beatable, and I’d love to destroy Jebow.

and just wow

Florida is getting punched in the mouth

Florida

I want to beat the Tebow

+1
But do we really want to hear all about Tebow and the Gators for a month preceeding the game?
we did

in 05 and it worked out pretty well for us I say. I’m superstitious, if I can get a repeat of 05 then I’ll take it

good Lord, no

but it would make our victory that much sweeter

This sprinkle of the spread is catching Floriday unprepared for...

When will they adjust?

Missed PAT
Could come back to haunt Bama...
Verne can't see anything
i didn't know urban meyer has a subarachnoid cyst...

just read that in SI, his head might really explode on the sideline.

This ain't arena football, Verne.
I think Tebow blocked the PAT.
Are we waking up God in this early?
it was

the holy spirit

So, Infield Elephant . . .

. . . do you change your handle for a month if we play Bama? :)

Luckily, my wife is UT alum, so we’re good there. We’ve been talking about “what if” in our 8 yrs of marriage, so we’ve been pulling for them all year. If it happens though – I won’t be speaking to the in-laws for a month.

Tebow has worked up a new gameplan on stone tablets ......behold
I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not question SEC superiority
I think the refs

Will playing God in this game more than anything. Count on it.

Excessive celebration? No prob!
lol....

This is just the beginning of this whole movie.

And thou shalt not covet thy Tebow!
CBS

is really needing those sponsors, seriously the “jack links beef jerky” action cam with it’s own intro? REALLY?

I want a beef jerky action cam

Mmmmm . . . high def goodness!

Is James faster than Goodwin or Charles?

JC ran a 10.1 100m, right?

John 16:33
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

I hate Tebow.

I thought it was aginst FL...
I like how Bama's band always plays the opening theme to Les Miserables

Gives us a sense of how truly epic a performance we’re witnessing.

That was on

“the other 26”

Gary and Verne

constantly asking each other “didn’t it look like.. wasn’t that…. good coverage by, _ right?” fuck these toolbags

Bama vs Florida

refs don’t know who they should help to

Intercept Tebow please
Roomate connection

Colt & Ship > Tebow & Cooper

BAMA CAME TO PLAY TODAY !
TD 'Zona

14-7 over the condoms

Boom!

Tebow shut down!

Bama looks good!
Verne on Tebow's run:

“STIFFARM! Nice……Defensive play”

I myself always try to stiffarm when on defense.
McLain is the sh*t
or as verne says

orlando mccain

I'm confused

Arizona just scored again, and the announcers said that the “Wildcat offense” came to play. Isn’t the use of “Wildcat offense” rather ambiguous nowadays?

lol

you do realize theyre the arizona wildcats right?

Yes, I know that :)

Hence the ambiguity. What if the Wildcats ran the Wildcat?

Not if your the Wildcats
big mistake there Tebow... missed Cooper for 6
Tebow's feet didn't leave the ground.

What a terribly executed jump pass.

You only saw one person of the Tebow Trinity though.

The Holy Tebow Spirit was jumping and guiding the ball.

a run-pass-play-action-play

….

tebow runs play action to himself
Alright

off to join wife and fam. I’m out.

Hook ’em Horns!!

Oh Darn

Daddy not listening to Jebow’s requests!

Yes my child

I hate to break it to you but today, you are not the second coming. I am busy planning my other “sons” birthday party.

Does Tebow Has

any friends in the Vatican?

Notre Dame has a monopoly on that.
One thing I know

Saban was praying that FG missed but his prayer didn’t get answer.

mcelroy making some plays

he’s been good.

Ingram really doesn't impress me

he is not a all worls type back, good yes, but I don’t understand the hype

his daddy was a NY Giant
James is speedy!!
Never understood why they would have a blimp for a dome game
thinking the same thing myself.
must be to keep an eye on the traffic
Still the same ad dollars from the blimp sponsor regardless
yeah. but a tethered balloon is cheaper.
Moody falls down....
"21 deficit point comeback"
McElroy looking like Tom Braddy so far..

Who would of thought that…

7.99 + tax

Just too expensive for a Sonic burger.

yeah, but for two of them???
You maybe right

I didn’t see if there was 2 of them in the bag.

That's why it's the brown bag special
and tots and fries!

But I’d pay $25 for the same thing at Whataburger.

I don't know, their tots are pretty amazing
Whataburger!

Man, after you mentioned it, I may need to go buy it now.

and then just go afterward for a lime slush...
loving the tebow stat line right now

lol keep it up!

Richardson > or = Ingram
Holy shit

McElroy kept that in for a first.

"WOW, a Barishnikov!"
I think the trivia question was inaccurate

From the Wikipedia entry, which seems pretty thorough and accurate:

Champions and selectors are in italics when retroactive and bold when “consensus” according to how they are designated in the Official NCAA Records Book. “Consensus” selectors in the Official NCAA Records Book correspond to the period from 1950 to present which began with the introduction of the two poll system upon the appearance of the Coaches Poll in 1950.
wow mcelroy

southlake man, those kids are winners

Tebow needs to learn from him!

Chase Daniel is a winner?
exception that proves the rule...

or something

CBS

I think the announcers are turning their love ever so slightly towards mcelroy..

They are bandwagon SEC fans...

expect that to change if Florida comes back..

when not if

Alabama trying to win by FGs

SAY WHAT ?
Not sure all the FGs will win a game. They need TDs
Tebow

As long as the announcers are talking about anything besides tebow im more than happy. I cant take this son of god shit much longer..

lol tebow sadness
Tebow having trouble overcoming the world today it seems
Meeting Tebow is a "When Harry Met Sally" orgasm moment?
"I'll have what he's having". Yuk.
The Tebow/Riggins comparisons are hilarious.
Oh God...He's rising
surprised we didnt see an excessive celebration just now

these are SEC refs right?

Yeah. Those refs shouldn't be celebrating
Who's #3?

He should throw him on the ground.

Bama has woke up Jesus....
My God.

Tebow is the worst passing QB ever. That wind-up is miserable.

Did you see the passing stats comparison btw him and McElroy?

Ridiculous.

You mean that wind up on that TD pass ?
Suddenly, Bama's D

Fell in sleep.

FL returning the favor

lol….what comes around goes around…

Argh. Didn't want big plays by Ingram.

Dammit.

but they aren't rushing yards
Ingram's game last week took him out...

he ain’t winning the Heisman.

eh, i disagree

he was #1 on most ballots through most of the season, a big game today easily will erase last week if they win

It would have if he played for a team other than UF or Bama.
Don't worry

Colts may have a breakout run for 100+ yard tonight.

I thought they didnt play till tomorrow
Too bad he didn't make it in

looks like another Bama FG coming.

Ingram for Heisman.

Herp Derp…

DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!
Why did Ingram not try to power his way in from the 5?

What the fuck kind of effort was that?

Too many reviews.
At least they are officiating fairly

for the first time this season.

Because the SEC Refs

have fucked up too many times this years and handed Florida their undefeated season.
As much as I hate the pigs/Arkansas, they beat Florida but the refs gave it to Christ Tebow

MORONS! THAT"S NOT THE BEST VIEW!

danielson thinks the shot from across the field is the best shot to determine if he stepped out?

Maybe Charlie Strong had the week off?

lot’s of stuff to do – movers, changing his utilities over, getting his mail forwarded to Memphis…

i thought he was going to louisville?
memphis, louisville, whichever

both good music towns with shitty football.

Gag

It’s the race for the Heisman — between Jesus and Ingram!

Bama getting absolutely no pressure on Teblows
referee screen play
SEC defense

Amazing. This is just a fluke I swear.

Lundquist is fucking drunk.
so am I....

that’s no excuse.

OK, Verne really needs his eyes checked
"was that a deflection?" are u serious Vern? are u even watching the game?
He was calling it a hook and lateral at first...lol
lol from the 1 yard line to the 3 yard line
Yeah, he's lost...not sure how he find his hotel room at the end of the night.
wow, vern, just wow.

he thought henrnandez was trying to lateral?

Beef Jerky commercials almost as entertaining as the game.
NOW lets see BAMA

run this back all the way!! Crush the Gators and Jebow before the half time.
For all we know, Jesus is waiting to give the Half time talk to the Gators. Can’t afford that!!

he's going to wash the team in the blood of the Tebow.
Bama has been dominating but will only be up 6.

Scary for them.

Yep, still leaving it open for Florida to come back and win..
It's like last year's Fiesta Bowl
WTF

Not even going to try for at least a FG.
LOSERS

Welcome to the SEC...

You can’t do that against SEC defenses..lol..

We're heading out

to watch elsewhere.
Hook ’em!

Doing the same in a little while
470 yds of offense in the first half.
"These are just two great teams we're watching leave it all on the field, Verne!"
That Florida fan just got fucking owned.

Tide win halftime.

lol awesome

I bet he feels like a douche.

she had to learn how to "hold the ball" and she beat him. chomp chomp
YEAH Bama Girl Med student

Beats the florida fan by throwing better passes.

He should have tried the jump pass or whatever the hell they call it
or prayed harder.

That was the REAL advice Jebow gave him

I still thought the refs would give it to the florida fan
Would she be the first female med student to win the Heisman?

Dear PAC-10,

Pretty sure more people opted to watch footballs being thrown at giant soda cans than click over to watch any of your marquee game in LA. How’s that Bush investigation coming along?

What investigation?

Who’s dare to investigate Reggie?

They’ve spent more time to investigate VY suicide incident than what had happened to Bush.

Yeah,

His family probably still rolling in their nice house and new cars.
Actually, they moved on up after he got drafted in the NFL.

dr. pepper - drink it slow

is this a codeine reference? am i getting old?

dont think so, just been their advertising for the past couple months. and it’s true!

Spencer Tillman can suck it.

And Brando should be working for free. “In all due respect to the NFL, this is the best football environment ever.” Um, where was he on January 4, 2006?

PB has posted tonights open game thread. I'm just saying.
Thanks for the heads up.

I’m about to head over there if the game is getting bored.

anybody know

if the game is going to be steaming on the net? and where?

justin.tv

go to the sports section… it’ll be broadcast. guarantee it.

streaming that is
you can also stream the game

here. its channelsurfing.net. just scroll down the page and it will show texas-nebraska.

Ok. Let's see how Florida comes out after a Teebow halftime speech!
ingram looked like fozzy on that play.
in a "sprint laterally to the sideline way"
think this game will overlap with ours?
possible

if SEC refs find some way to give Teblows an extra 5 timeouts as the Gators attempt a 4th quarter comback

isn't our game on abc?
where was maze all season?
mcelroy picks up 15
All right, I'm out.

Gotta get at least a little work done before our game. Hook ’em!

ROLL TIDE!
pretty pass by mcelroy.
McElroy....impressive
McElroy decides to show up for the "real NC game"
Love seeing little jesus

for what will probably be the last relevant game he’ll ever be in. Good-bye Mr. “I like to put scriptures on my face”.

the GOAT came back from double digits down in the 4th in a NC game

let’s see Tebow dow the same.

BAMA getting violent
I thought Florida had a defense

Or is it just Bama’s running game that’s good?

bama's run is way good

but Florida does look weaker than I thought

some huge passes this game too
Saban is a wicked good coach
Tebow has a 2-5 record when losing in the 2nd half.

He’s just a winner!

Scared to face McElroy

Anybody feel the same?

Not in the slightest.

Neither of these QBs worry me at all.

Looking extremely good today...

Hopefully we can do enuf to disrupt their offense

Bama's offense hasn't looked all that good all year.

D has been solid, but this is the first time I’ve seen the offense do this. Especially McElroy

They want Florida to at least try and win
Bama gameplanned for this game bigtime.....

Florida said “Were Florida” beat us

Tebow

He has been a average college qb but a great leader for his team. Guess now maybe Percy Harvin may have been their MVP.

I still can’t believe the Jacksonville Jaguars owner was quoted as saying he might want Tebow…Surely not the first round…and just this week Jim Kelly said Tebow is the kind of guy the Bills need to turn their franchise around…Just can’t see him being an NFL qb.

I love how Verne and Gary Tebow Danielson can diagnose McElroy with a hip pointer and no one has said anything or shown any evidence of injury

How would things have been different

if Applewhite was still at Alabama? Are they better/worse? Are we better/worse?

His contribution to our offense is not very clear to me...
No effect...

I see no effect for game day prep or execution…In all honesty I think Applewhite may have been too imaginative for Saban….He likes the offense he has now….

However I do think where Applewhite makes a difference is in recruiting for Texas…I have nothing to back that claim up but I just feel that way.

i agree with recruiting

as well as morale, but he’s got brains. I’d like to hear more on that.
