ESPN College Game Day Live Blog

Join me here from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. CT for a live blog of ESPN's College Game Day.

9:01  Fowler kicks us off with, "Revenge is a dish best served burnt orange." It's gonna be that kind of a show.

9:04  Big crowd of UT supporters gathered on the lawn. Desmond wearing a fine cowboy hat. Lee's suntan is Possessive Copper.

9:09  Fowler interviews Kiffin, finds four different ways to ask him if he feels as stupid as he sounds.

Star-divide

9:15  Gene Chizik Wired. Where's the part where he quits on his team midseason?

9:20  Incredible that Lee Corso is out there after suffering a minor stroke. Impressive.

9:26  Bevo "drops a message" for Texas Tech.

9:29  Corso highlights the BYU screen game; Texas fans are lost. Screen?

9:33  Great "under pressure" stat about Max Hall.

9:45  Damnit, Les Miles was nothing short of likable there. Huh.

9:55  Sign: "Even Lou Holtz Could Graduate From Tech"

10:01 Mack with one of the best non-answer answers of all time.

10:04 Fowler compares Kiffin to an out-of-control Kanye West.

10:12 Okay, y'all are on your own; I'm off to work on the TV schedule.

Remember the Alamo!

Make sure you remind Fowler of this.

ESPN-Fowler_Horns_Down"/>

Negative hook’em horns=Fail. Get a rope!

Go get ’em boys and girls.

Chris Fowler called Austin his favorite college town and visits in the offseason. He is not the enemy.

Is it weird....

That I can remember when College Gameday was just an hour long, “The Pony” Craig James was the ex-college player, and they never left the ESPN studios? Boy how things have changed.

I can remember

when Craig James was doing sports on a local news station in the D/FW metroplex. I cannot remember what station, but that is where he got his start. I remember when Gameday was an hour long to, then it went to 90 minutes up until it went to what it is now a few years back.

Nice

“Crabtree agrees to a contract with McDonalds”

"Keep Lubbock Boring"
I can't wait to read EDSBS this week

After little lane drowns in his own blood.

Crompton

Hey, Kiffin said Crompton had a good week of practice — he’ll be fine. Nothing like a week of practice to cure massive suck. Uh yeah.

I think it is funny

how everybody in Lubbock has forgotten all the crap he put Tech and the fans through with his contract dispute during the offseason. I guess they remember how bad it was before Leach ever showed up. Man I wanted Leach to leave so bad, him and Stoops have got to be the two worst men in college football.

I would have to disagree on Leach.

He’s interesting, in the crazy lawyer/pirate coach sense. You have to wonder what he’s going to say next, and that’s healthy.

Sorry I cannot stand the man

he and Stoops are exactly alike, they are complete assholes and they do not even hide it. Especially how Leach voted last year because he and Stoops are buddies. I cannot stand either one of them.

Plus

Even though Leach comes from the Stoops Farm, He always has a way of distruptin the Big 12. Last year happen to be the year that it hurt us in a big way, but how many times before has he beat the big team that end up helping us in the end, or at least hurting OU.

I wish Leach

was lying under Bevo when he did that.

anybody at gameday on mobile?

Working the event in Austin.

Bevo drops duece, live on TV.
Yeah...

that was pretty funny.

Fowler:

“Great timing there big fella”

Sweet
sign

“Even Lou Holtz can graduate from Tech”

Genius Ticket Sign

for all the listeners of the Ticket in Dallas look for the black sign that has little Literian with his genius quote “It’s fun to do bad things” on the front and “Uh, Paul in ….” on the back. That person deserves a beer.

hahah, genius indeed

But I’m not sure what the “Uh, Paul in…” sign is referring to?

Really?!

You haven’t heard that bit of gold. During the 9/11 moment of silence, Gubb of the musers got confused and thought they were taking calls. So Gubb was the only person on the radio in the US during the 9/11 moment of silence when he uttered the now infamous line “Uh, Paul in…”

Bad radio uses the drop all the time
Fantastic!

I wanna go smoke with cigarettes

I hate Urban Meyer more than Bob Stoops.

He, somehow, just seems like even more of a jackass.

The comments about motivation?

Yeah, something really seemed strange about that, something dissonant. I’m glad Mack doesn’t ever hit me like that.

"QB at tech, so easy, a caveman could do it"

Lou Holtz is his own grandpa

Or a trained monkey.

Barkley

Someone should start a drinking game for every mention of Matt Barkley.

Maintain

You trying to get us so drunk we pass out before the game there dime?

Barkley

that segment just about made me puke. Sickening.

Nice OVER-RATED chant from the crowd
Didn't catch that

Well done, Texas fans. I have nightmares before Gamedays about no Texas fans showing up and they start the show and there’s like 20 people there. It just feels like it could happen…

Ditto. And we have four more years of this?

Drink. Barkley mention again.
Sweet picture of Colt's stache

right behind Howard. Blown way up. I don’t know exactly how much of it is the mustache, but there’s just a really strange look in Colt’s eye in that picture.

Corso just seems like he has no clue even if he actually does.
FYI

Man is still recovering from a stroke. The mechanical process of speaking , cognitive ability , and language can all be affected.What he is doing is HARD as hell. I unfortunately know.

I wasn't making a reference to his speech

He’s always seemed not right.

During commercial breaks...

Interesting post on WSJ’s sports blog. A high school coach doesn’t have a kicker or punter on his team and he goes for it every time.

I got the Home Depot construction helmet

with the espn gameday logo on the side. Its pretty cool…. I like the Heisman sign for Colt.

Hook’em!

You're kidding, right?
haha....not at all...

one & only love that Heisman sign and I really do hope Colt will get that trophy in Dec. Also, I went to Nissan/Sport Illustrated tailgate(Thanks PB) picked up 3 magazines all free with Earl Campell and James Brown autographs. They also allow everyone to take picture with the Heisman trophy. And then, I played some fun trivia games and won a new t-shirt. Great fun with the kids on that tailgate party….

Do we have a count on the Crabtree catch yet?

i haven’t seen it yet today.

seen it once at the begining of college gameday
I don't think it will happen until closer to game time.

At which point, I’ll be out the door and in the stadium, so it won’t bother me.

Opening of the show. nt
Do commercials count..

just had one but I was typing

yeah, i would say the number of times we see it all day.

hopefully after today there will be some new highlights in the Tech series.

something along the lines of Gideon intercepting three passes for touchdowns

There it is...

An entire special on the last play of that game.

that counts as...

believe i saw the catch 5 times in that segment.

Remember

1 shot per clip. Rules are in effect all day.

Sign: Leach Watches Desperate Housewives

And: Lubbock Has no Trees (an oldie and still a goodie)

FYI

Signs spell out E-S-P-N always suck.

well it's no suprise which mascot head is coming out.

How accurate is Corso BTW?

been known as kiss of death

but he did pick Houston over OK ST

He might pull out the red raider shit just bc he likes shooting guns

haha

Tech Loves Fish Sticks!

but....

I am genius dammit.

and

I AM NOT A FISH

what did the Mac Burgler Sign say

It has to be funny

been trying to read it too!
Was it another Kanye West spoof with the Burglar as the Masked Raider?

Or am I looking at a totally different sign…

Bevo Burgers tonite WRECK EM!!!!! ;)

Good luck guys!!

And good luck to you!

Don’t be afraid to visit here after the game either.

Hook ’em!

He

will be putting that on again in Pasadena.

I see dead raiders

Good Luck guys.

Kanye West thinks Beyonce's sign is better

best sign I saw

I disagree

I liked the sign that went:

Team Edward
Team Jacob
Team McCoy with a check

that's only cool

if CAR RAMROD was one of the options available

Anybody else see the

“Austin has UT, Lubbock has Herpes” sign. It was in the opening montage. Curiously, didn’t see it again.
