ESPN College GameDay open thread

This here's your open thread for ESPN College GameDay. You know, in case they talk about Tennessee's seach for a new head coach or one of the candidates. We'll keep the thread open for the 3:30 games, too, for anyone who wants to watch and comment on Butch Davis as his North Carolilna team takes on the Maryland Terrapins or Tim Brewster as his Minnesota Golden Gophers travel to Wisconsin. Both games can be found somewhere on the ESPN/ABC family of networks. Feel free to comment on South Carolina-Florida or any other game as well.

Also, be sure to check out SB Nation's brand-spankin'-new Race to the BCS Hub for all of your BCS needs. Live vicariously. All the cool kids are doing it.

So have they said anything?

I miss the days of Tennessee Football being relevant.

No, the crowd's been pretty quiet

The announcers haven’t said anything, either.

Suggested guessing game ideas for next week:

1: How many yards of offense will Tennessee end up with (within 15)?
2: How many times will we wish Eric Berry was more a part of the team than what he is?
3: How many tears will you shed after Vandy becomes bowl eligible?

Georgia looking very flat today.

They better start playing soon; I have a lead to maintain!

I keep on missing the guessing games and picks

On the other hand, everybody looks flat today. This is not the week to introduce someone to college football.

Sure it is.

The Vols aren’t playing. ;-)

Clearly you haven't seen enough Auburn football

On the plus side, Notre Dame / Navy is farce at this point.

by Graysnail on Nov 15, 2008 1:21 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That's alright.

Nobody in Auburn has seen enough Auburn football, either.

Why?

Competence just means that Tennessee has that much farther to go…

by hooper on Nov 15, 2008 4:00 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Because I hold out hope

Hope that, at some point, someone’s going to do something to actually deserve the #15 ranking in the land. Seriously, it’s downright painful to try and figure out if there are 25 good teams this season, let alone 25 teams worth ranking.

Wouldn't it be nice if, for one game, the announcers would not go off about a playoff?

I get it. You want a playoff. Everybody understands that. Can you just call the game now, please?

Which game are you watching?

All I can hear is how Gary Danielson wants to have Florida’s kids.

by Graysnail on Nov 15, 2008 5:06 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Gary Danielson and Verne Lundquist, Redux

for (min = 60; min > 0; min—) {
   for (sec = 60; sec > 0; sec—) {
      printf(“Tebow Tebow Tebow\n”);
      pause (1);
   }
}

ERROR

del line 4

Go Vols!

Compiler suggests

change pause(1) to delay(1); really, it should be delay(50) or some such.

by Graysnail on Nov 16, 2008 9:38 AM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

sleep(1);

would have been the correct call if we wanted them to speak at a rate of 3 Tps (Tebows per second). I didn’t check any man pages before I wrote it.

I failed, I know.

by rblakeh on Nov 16, 2008 11:56 AM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It really is

Because whoever programmed Danielson screwed up somewhere…

He occasionally talks about something other than Tebow. Woops.

by rblakeh on Nov 16, 2008 4:18 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I really wouldn't mind

seeing Spurrier in Orange and White.

by rblakeh on Nov 15, 2008 5:18 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Let's see

Tim Brewster: lost.
Mike Leach: bye
Brian Kelly: won, in line for BCS bowl

Huh. Look at that.

by Graysnail on Nov 16, 2008 9:37 AM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I watched the Cinci game

I was not overly impressed. Kelly looks like a good coach, but he spent most of his time yelling at his players and at the refs. I think this is important, but I rarely saw him doing anything else.

That’s anecdotal evidence based off of one game, though. They did get the win, which is more than I can say for our ball club.

by rblakeh on Nov 16, 2008 11:58 AM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Everyboyd knows.

They have either acknowledged as much, or they’re citing previous coaching searches to show that the disinterest may not mean anything.
