NCAA Football '12-13

[dps]

And so far, it's a tight race to see if South Carolina can turn the ball over more often than Vandy lines up in a illegal formation.

Awesome linebacker play; sniffed that one out last week.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Uh oh.  SCAR starting QB is on the sidelines in a lot of pain.  He broke a little sooner than I thought he would, running like a wannabe white Lattimore and all.

[MadBurgerMaker]

The SCAR backup...uh...doesn't look so good.

E: lol @ Paul Rudd vs Ray Lewis

[CountDeMoney]

Yeah, that wasn't pretty at all.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Oh man.  Already a bigtime screwup:

Dude went a LONG way in the wrong direction, and even had guys blocking for him.  And hell, the guys on the other team should have let him go.

Yeah, that's my alma mater.  Go Tigers.

The Pirate sails again right now.  Fuck Adam James.  Fuck Craig James.  Fuck ESPN.  Leach rules.

e: OH GOD NO Joe Tessitore and Matt Millen.  Seriously, fuck ESPN.

Could be worse--could be NBC Sports. 

You know, I'm not sure if ND football is still important enough or relevant enough to have it's own TV deal, but ND is classy enough that if they're going to have their own TV deal, they deserve a better partner than NBC.

And speaking of ND, what do you think of Alan Pinckett's "criminal" remark, Seedy?

He had a point.  Granted, it was the one on top of his head, but a point nonetheless. 

Nature of the modern game.

Crap I don't have the longhorn network. 

Looks like Internet stream for me.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Well holy shit, it looks like Chip Brown was right for the first time in his life.  The Longhorn Network is now on U-verse, channel 1609.

What is the hating on Chip?  I enjoy his articles and listened to him on the radio I think he is usually spot on.  Is there some big thing he was wrong about I am supposed to be appaled at

But yeah huge win for the LHN today.

My son David really did me proud last night.  He saw the S Carolina-Vandy game on and ran at the TV saying 'football!  football!' and then ran off and grabbed his football and started throwing it around the house.  I was not really sure what to say...I guess it is in the soil out here in Texas.

Oh and here is your Bill in Sinton post of the week:

This is the start of a new season this Saturday. I know some of us (myself included) won't be able to see it because of LSN but we need to support our team as best we can. Those going to the game know what to do. The rest of us will be adding to the synergy in our support of the Horns. Those in Austin also know what to do. We must start the synergy for our team. Remember Wyoming gave us a hard in Austin in 1977 before we finally won 17 to 3 so we must encourage our team. We need to be careful and calm and get off on the right foot. Go Horns! Fight and Win! Beat Wyoming!

I still giggle over the Baylor-UW Bowl Game where they had some famous ex-linebacker commentating and the defense was so bad you could actually hear him trying to restrain his gag reflex.  It wasn't Millen though.

[derspiess]

I think the last time I got mad at a football commentator was the early 90s.  Starting about mid-season 1993 Lee Corso kept picking WVU to lose each game it played.  Not only that, he always said "[OPPONENT] in a big way over West Virginia".  I swear I think he even picked Temple to beat them.  They ended up going 11-0 in the regular season that year.

Nowadays I just can't get too worked up about it.
