Bumped to the top to serve as the open thread for games until the Texas Tech thread is up. [Note by hooper, 11/22/08 4:41 PM EST ]

This here's your open thread for ESPN College GameDay. You just know there's going to be a feature on Mike Leach. The Tennessee-Vandy thread will open at 11:30 a.m. EST, and we'll open a separate thread later in the day for the Texas Tech-Oklahoma game.

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.

I'm embarrassed, but

What time is the UT game? 12:30 on Raycom?

Yep, that's it

Go Vols!

Sadly

I think that could have been one of the guessing game questions.

Thanks.

They're showing the Kentucky vs Delaware State Tech Community College game here.

I’ll be listening …. about 45 seconds behind.

I don't understand these guys

“If Oklahoma beats Texas Tech and knocks Harrell and Crabtree out of the Heisman race, who’s the frontrunner?”

Who says a Texas Tech loss would knock those guys out of the Heisman race? What if he throws for 420 and 3 or 4 TDs or Crabtree shreds their secondary in a shootout? If the voters knock those guys out of the race solely because they lose, then that trophy is more of a fallacy than I ever thought.

That said… if Bradford and OU win a shootout, then Bradford should be given his due consideration, along with Harrell, McCoy, Tebow, and all of the other one loss wonders.

Cannons... fire them.

Interesting

What I find most interesting about this show is that they opened by teasing several things, one of which was the Leach interview. An hour and a half in, and they’ve teased it several times as “coming up.” Still no interview. You generally do that with your best material. It’s like putting the milk in the back of the store to get everyone to pass up several potential impulse buys along the way.

Another bullet point on Leach’s resume. He’s dairy.

Go Vols!

I'm with ClayT

I, like Clay, have a bit of a man crush on the pirate battle captain ….

I've already started wearing an eye patch.

I put it over my good eye when the UT offense is on the field. Sorry.

For the record.

Notre Dame faces a 2nd and 47. Against Syracuse. (3rd quarter, 12:55)

by David Hooper on Nov 22, 2008 4:38 PM EST reply actions

Ouch from the announcer:

Now it’s 3rd down and a lot of meters.

Pain defined.

The Notre Dame-Syracuse game. I bet NBC’s seriously regretting their contract with the Irish right now.

Hey, wait. NBC also had that XFL contract, too, right? Oy.

There’s a scene in Family Guy that takes place at NBC Corporate Headquarters. Some of the executives are pitching a “new” (read same ol’ same ol’) idea for a show. Pretty funny in and of itself, but the sign on the wall that says “NBC: We used to have Seinfeld.” just puts it over the top.
