ESPN College GameDay and early games open thread

There's a full day of football before ours rolls around at 7:45 tonight, beginning with Ole Miss at Auburn at 12:21 and continuing with the Cocktail Party at 3:30. Of course, the day really kicks off with ESPN College GameDay, which starts at 10:00 and shoots live from Eugene, Oregon where USC will travel to take on the Ducks at about the same time as our game. Expect little mention of South Carolina at Tennessee unless it also includes talk of officials, reprimands, and/or Lil Wayne.

So leave your comments on GameDay and/or the early games below.

Hey, Joel

Are we ever planning to vote on the Hail Mary Haiku?

by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 31, 2009 11:46 AM EDT reply actions  

Unfortunately, no

I blew that this week. I enlisted Jackson the Mule to make it up to everyone. Game thread goes up at 6:45.

not recovering that fumble after that hit

which they had every shot to get, and now Ole Miss takes all the air out of them – Auburn cannot play from behind

Why did Ole Miss have to remember they had McCluster before we played them?

How rare is it for a 3-4 UT to be FAVORED by 6 over 6-2 South Carolina?

What does that say about how little respect South Carolina has earned with its record and how much respect Tennessee has for its painfully close losses?

It's a squirrely thing right now.

SC is higher-ranked and has the better record, for sure, but they also have been less impressive of late. Not saying that they’re not impressive, though; they also had a good game against Alabama.

Bizarro injury in Ole Miss - Auburn

A player down for each side. The Aubie on top of the Rebel. Neither being moved.

by David Hooper on Oct 31, 2009 12:58 PM EDT reply actions  

did you see it?

they’ve yet to show the replay and I wasn’t looking. The Ole Miss player couldn’t move just because the guy on top of him couldn’t, looks like.

I'm in the same boat as Will

But I’m watching the other game right now.

The Rebel is ok. He just wasn’t moving with an injured guy on top of him, who is now on a stretcher.

Concussion.

Head-to-head with Etheridge (another Auburn guy). Nasty hit.

by David Hooper on Oct 31, 2009 1:01 PM EDT reply actions  

Neck injury is possible too, but I'm guessing concussion first.

He gave the thumbs-up on the way out, though, so no paralysis.

I'm sure this is what they said about Crompton in September

And he just held on to one for waaaay too long and took a sack for it.

Say what you will, having Crompton bail out on so many passes at least didn’t make things worse.

by David Hooper on Oct 31, 2009 1:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Speaking of that sack

It was 4th down. Why not throw into double coverage? What’s an interception going to hurt you?

by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 31, 2009 1:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

They remembered they have McCluster, though.

They only need Decent Snead to win if they’re using McCluster appropriately.

If you can, flip over to the Clemson / Coastal Carolina game.

Clemson’s in all orange, CC is in all black. It’s not quite the same, but it’s kinda neat to see.

Thanks

I just missed a big play by Auburn.

Also, it’s not really the same when the orange is Clemson orange. It’s too dark to really even count. BTW, is there any chance we do that tonight? I haven’t heard any talk of it. Could the ADs be keeping it under wraps and surprising us tonight? Or is this vain hope?

So, on 1st and 20: A 3-yard pass to McCluster.

On 2nd and 17: a behind-the-LOS pass to McCluster. (incomplete)

On 3rd and 17: Snead has to scramble and makes the first.

Jevan Snead is a boolean XAND.

And I saw that holding call, too.

I dunno, but the crazy just hit the Plains too.

It’s now 33-20 after an Ole Miss kickoff return and a Dexter McCluster 79-yard TD run …. but the XP was blocked and ran back for two.

Halloween jerseys?

The title on this GVX post says Vols to dress out for halloween. But I can’t find an article he’s linking to that says anything about our jerseys.

Same here, unfortunately.

I don't even have the energy to be mad over this.

Lost points in my pick'em

Another big play beats the spread for Iowa by .5

Oh no, Gary Danielson's in the same stadium as Tim Tebow.

Doesn’t that violate the restraining order?

Are you heading to the game?

Yeah.

I’m already on campus, actually, but I’m going to wander around through the tailgates for a while.

Fair enough.

I think I’ll have to head back next year for a game; I meant to get down this year but it’s not going to happen, unfortunately.

Are all of our esteemed bloggers

At the game tonight? Hope we reward them with a big W.

by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 31, 2009 4:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

We will next year. :-)

Boy, I hope the coaches stay on Palardy, though; I’m sure a lot of schools will try to poach him.

That was impressive.

2 more official visitors:

Michael Dyer and C.J. Mosley are both from the same school in Arkansas. That makes 11 officials and 3 unofficials, if my count is right.

Big weekend.

This may be why we need a win more than just needing a win.

A'ight.

I’m out for good now. Have a great time!

Joel did set a second half thread, which should go active at 9:15. FYI.
