As part of "Live Vicariously" week here on RTT, we thought we'd open up a game thread for the Florida-Georgia game. This would be it.

So much for the early offensive emotion
Both defenses seemed amped early.

Lots of SEC reviews on the day so far
The Ole Miss game had quite a few as well.

SEC is the best
in the ranking of worst referees. These guys suck. All of them.
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!

The guys reffing the UM/MSU game beg to differ
At least they didn’t flagrantly misinterpret the rules resulting in a TD.
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 4:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They must not have been true SEC officials
Probably had to bring in some high school refs.
That “Hands to the face” call that nullified a Tebow interception was pathetic. That crap happens 10 times every game and is never called.

Yes, but when the guy's helmet gets ripped off
They’re a little more likely to call it.
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 4:33 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It wasn't ripped off.
It was pushed off. There’s a difference.

True, but:
My point was that if someone’s helmet comes off they’re going to be way more likely to call a penalty than if the infraction’s committed anyway, but the helmet doesn’t come off. if that makes sense.

If you're in the mood for a really simple drinking game w/Florida:
every time they say the word “speed”.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I was going to do a shot every time they mention celebration
Although “personal foul” will work, too.
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 4:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Let me guess:
That “shot” would be a .22 round through the TV, right?
;-)
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Nah, I like my TV
.22 round through the TV stand. ;)
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 4:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I hope you stocked up.
You might also consider ways to cool the barrel down. There’s probably a risk of overheating in this one.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm gonna save the shots through the TV
For the second half of our game. :)

This just in:
Wyoming is rolling 28-3 over SDSU in the 3rd.
(Hey, I gotta prop by alma when I can. It’s not very common.)
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:15 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Can we score 28 points?
Hate to get embarrassed at homecoming

by wvvol on Nov 1, 2008 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m not sure Wyoming has scored 28 points total this season prior to this game.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, it's 35 now
So I guess that doubles their output?
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 4:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Half again.
They had 70 total points in the previous 8 games.

Speaking of Wyoming:
One of the local radio shows yesterday (Tony Basilio, IIRC) mentioned that Fulmer would be a great fit at Wyoming, assuming he leaves Tennessee. Something about it being a program he could really build up.
I get the feeling they don’t understand what Wyoming is.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I have a feeling local radio doesn't understand Fulmer's legacy
It’d be weird as hell to see him anywhere else, even with the current Tennessee situation.
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 4:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'll give this much:
The announcers are doing a good job of actually analyzing the game. It’s kinda nice, actually.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:34 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, I love when Verne says
“I thought he should have gone to Massaquoi there.”
Thanks, Coach!

This crew is normally pretty good when they're not doing Tennessee games
I thought Blackledge was going to bludgeon Fulmer after the 3rd quarter of the Auburn game. He was getting pissed.
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No way in Hell is that a TD

by wvvol on Nov 1, 2008 4:38 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I don't think so either.
But it certainly is a 1st, which will nearly be the same thing.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Still goes in the "blown call" column
I’m keeping track. I’ve had to sharpen my pencil twice.

They missed that blow to the head on Massaquoi
by Private Right.

Is Moreno the best Mexican-American RB in the NCAA?
Discuss.

Hey!
This game may be exciting! Is that legal in the SEC?

Is it just me
or does Matthew Stafford kind of look like that kid from Life Goes On?
by ChattVol on Nov 1, 2008 4:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Gary Danielson has a higher regard for Stafford
than I. “The only QB in college who could make that throw?”
Bad throw to the TE in the end zone. That was a bad throw not a bad route.

by wvvol on Nov 1, 2008 4:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
He's not the only QB in college who can make any throw.
60% 1900 yards 12 TDs 5 Ints aren’t record breaking numbers.
That’s what I was referring to. Gary makes him sound like Troy Aikman or something.

Yes, but why disrupt the love for Stafford with stats?
He has such a good arm! Look at how strong he overthrows his receivers! It’s totally their fault, not his.
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 5:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly, spoken by an ex-QB.
Get Darrell Stingley in the booth to talk about great passers.

Point taken.
Still, he’s thrown twice as many touchdowns this year as our QBs combined (career numbers). I will concede the point that he is overhyped. I’d still trade for him.
by ChattVol on Nov 1, 2008 5:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
You think he could throw for that many TDs behind our offensive line?
I beg to differ. No one can throw with a sweaty DE on his back.

Stafford can!
And Tebow can circumsize under the same conditions!
…what?…
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 5:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
True, but....
Can Tebow overcircumcize by 20 yards like Stafford can?
Wait, don’t answer that.
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Plus you know they would want Berry in trade.
NO DEAL!

Even if the receiver had stopped in the end zone,
the ball was thrown too short.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok.
Now the announcers are analyzing a little too much.
Some of their stuff is getting really nit-picky.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Would the Vols
throw 5 wide inside the 20?
by ChattVol on Nov 1, 2008 4:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Whoah. That wasn't even a doink.
More like thud. Square on.
Go Vols!

What a kick! Dead-eye accurate! Nailed that upright! Wow!
…what?…
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 4:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Wow.
Oregon and Cal are in a dogfight for the country’s ugliest uniforms.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 5:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I have an idea.
If UT doesn’t get a bowl bid, we could always invite the Wolverines down to Neyland for a game.
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 5:14 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Heh.
It would at least answer the question: If an SEC and Big 11 team play – each with a 3-9ish record – would anybody care?
by Hooper on Nov 1, 2008 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Would Indiana - Mississippi State be the undercard?
We could probably get Purdue and Auburn to join, too.
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 5:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
To which game?
I don’t think either coach in the IU / MSU game is in danger. And Tiller’s retired at the end of the year anyway.
Also, shot!

The Bengals and Lions are on the clock for Matthew Stafford

That's a #1 overall draft pick pass right there
by Graysnail on Nov 1, 2008 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Receiver ran a bad route and the sun got in his eyes
Plus global warming has been weighing on his mind. It’s not his fault! He’s great, I tell you.

More great officiating
No sir, my shirt wrapped itself around his hand. He didn’t grab me.

Why doesn't Charlie Strong get more attention?
Is he on anybody’s list?
Go Vols!

Hmmm...

Wyoming 35, SDSU 10
Wyoming had over 500 yards of offense with only 10 pass attempts (6 completions).
Granted, it was against a very bad SDSU at Laramie (7200 feet altitude) in November, but it still smells of a ball-control game next week. 50 offensive plays each team?
