bobo_the_vol wins the season's final Hail Mary Haiku with the following ode to The Papa:
Some remember Phil
For the past couple of years
And forget the good.Me? I barely know
Of Manning, the Golden Age
of UT football.I will always see
"And pandemonium reigns"
When I think of thee.It seemed destiny
When "he stumbled and fumbled",
We held the crystal.Seek Phil’s legacy
In the eyes of his players
Game Ball goes to Phil.
Rusty's a-Twitterin' from the game, so I thought we'd try to keep up with his Twitter feed, with his permission. Don't know if it'll work or not, but here's the attempt:
Rusty's Twitter Updates
I'm doubting that that's going to auto-update, so here's Rusty's Twitter page, just in case.
[Note by Joel, 11/29/08 3:05 PM EST ] Hey, looky there. It is updating. Nifty.

I made a Twitter!
We’re back home now.
FYI, rusty’s a classy guy. We had a great time meeting up with him.
I think Stefano's is.
C.P. was a victim of the new smoking laws. They couldn’t survive without the under 21 crowd, but they could survive as a nonsmoking joint either.

How was the vibe on campus today?
Are people turning out for Fulmer’s last dance?
I, unfortunately, am stuck in my office 6 hours away getting ready for another trial.
At least I managed to get my goodbye post up (finally).

I left the area around 2:45ish, so I'm not 100% sure about how it is now.
It was very quiet where I was. Then again, I never really ventured into the heart of it all. But the rain seemed to be keeping things, um, dampened.
If it’s any indication, traffic was very light.

In the Big 12 fiasco watch:
The Kansas win over Missouri helps Oklahoma over Texas a tad. Texas played both Missouri and Kansas, so it’s really a wash for them. However, OU played only Kansas, so it’s a bit of a binnie for them in the computers.
As close as that knot is, that game just might matter.
Peter says the KU loss actually hurt Texas
for those same reasons, FWIW.

Florida State with the second-best fake FG ever. Nebraska had the best one ever, but that was yesterday.
Update from near Neyland
Apparently it’s still kind of a ghost town; one of my friends who works up near the stadium is saying attendance is way down.
Traffic on the interestate was murder!
So maybe people are staying indoors until the last possible moment?
I’m about to head that way…
GO VOLS!!
Hope so
My tribe are all holed up in the Fort until they absolutely have to leave.

More Big 12 fiasco watch:
In Colley’s Matrix, playing the hypotheticals and having Texas, FLorida, Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas Tech all win, Oklahoma’s ranking jumps from 21 to 23. That alone raises their computer score from 0.900 to 0.910. That in turn cuts the margin between Texas and OU from 0.84 to 0.51. So the other games will play a significant factor in things.
If either Colley or Sagarin drop their Texas rating from first place, Oklahoma will most likely overtake them. If not, it’s probably too close to tell at this point.
Isn’t this fun? And people want a lousy, boring playoff. Psshhawwwww…
No.
It also doesn’t include the Arkansas loss, which helps Texas.
Colley’s hypothetical only allows up to 5 changes.
by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:36 PM EST up reply actions
Looks like adding those games
Move Oklahoma to 3.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 29, 2008 5:44 PM EST up reply actions
Yes.
by “21 to 23”, that really means from 5th to 3rd. I was using the points there.
by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:47 PM EST up reply actions
True
I changed the TTU game to the Kansas / Missouri game, though.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 29, 2008 5:48 PM EST up reply actions
Ah.
I also tried using the 5 wins for Kansas, Clemson, Georgia Tech, LSU and Cincinnati. That moves Oklahoma ahead of Florida as well.
I’m beginning to think that Texas is in trouble if Tech somehow finds a way to win.
by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:50 PM EST up reply actions
Cincinnati wins?
Man, you’re twisting the knife here, aren’t you?
And I think Texas was going to be toast if TTU won regardless.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 29, 2008 5:51 PM EST up reply actions
That win was relevant.
Cincy played OU earlier. The extra win helps Oklahoma.
by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:52 PM EST up reply actions
Good point.
I had forgotten about that, somehow. I don’t have my Cincinnati whiteboard with me right now. ;)
by Chris Pendley on Nov 29, 2008 5:55 PM EST up reply actions
I was wondering when you'd comment on that...
by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:36 PM EST up reply actions
I'd like to think they throw the poll out as the outlier
Since it’s totally useless.
by Chris Pendley on Nov 29, 2008 5:48 PM EST up reply actions
Should also add:
Assuming those 5 all win, Oklahoma has a chance to move into #2 in Colley if their opponents have a better day than Florida’s opponents. That would give OU another 0.1, which would cut the margin down to 0.18. At that point, you’d have to assume that the other computers would show OU some more love as well, and it’s probably lights-out for Texas.
That brings teams like Georgia and South Carolina into the mix.
So…whodathunk that Texas would be upset that the mighty SEC is having a down year? ;-)
by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:40 PM EST up reply actions
I want playoffs ...

TTU’s Crabtree has been carted off the field. Baylor in scoring position leading 21-14.
Of course,
a Baylor win throws all my hypothetical mumbo-jumbo out the window. Texas has the straight-up tiebreaker.
by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:41 PM EST up reply actions
I'd rather see OU I think.
I get very tired of the Texas political machine. And honestly, OU has impressed me more than Texas.
by David Hooper on Nov 29, 2008 5:51 PM EST up reply actions
Texas has gotten really annoying lately
But I like the “Oklahoma hasn’t had a decent BCS game since 2000” argument … and if you saw the 2000 game, even that’s debatable.*

Funny that may be, it's irrelevant.
Every year, every team is new. I feel that if you’re arguing that your present team should be favored because of an opponent’s team of a previous year, you’re harming your argument.

And yes, I say that while fully cognizant of Ohio State.

question
If TTU goes down, will Texas plays Missouri next week no matter what happens tonight?
To no surprise
Tebow is putting on a clinic today w/o the services of Harvin.
So what are the odds
That ESPN2 is still showing Maryland – BC at 6:30? Will they cut away from that, do you think?

The problem is
he has stickem on the DB’s jersey also.

The only way to get rid of Crompton was to fire Fulmer. Hamilton did what he had to do. I commend him.

Here's an idea
GraySnail, wanna share what the next series should be for the Vols?
Well....
If we’re gonna just say screw it and run, stick multiple RBs in the backfield and just go to town, but keep it different. I don’t trust Crompton to pass too much, but backing the defense off and passing once or twice can’t hurt too much – just put someone else in.
I don’t see a whole lot of point in going G-Gun or bringing in Berry, not yet.
