This channel should show the game on the 'net:
http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-ncaa-football-7.html
The guy is keeping the channel on ESPNU. And it’s looking hopeful.
I'll add everyone on Skype, set up video chat, and point the friggin' laptop at my TV if I have to.
It’s like livestream, but more ghetto.

Thanks Guys!
I was on here looking for a way to find the game online! You guys are GREAT. This is such a great place. Thanks for the link!
Those ESPN blogs suck!
Thanks again!

A little trick on channelsurfing.net – find a game that’s on the same channel as the game you want, but immediately preceding. That channel will mostly likely stay put.

Berry's not going through the T, right?

That was one of the most impressive onside recoveries I've seen.
In stride and got about 12-15 yards after picking it up.

No, it's the 42.

That was huge.
Ciron Black didn’t hold the edge there, although Jefferson should’ve gotten rid of it. Didn’t need to come to that.

I know
They should’ve tried a pass to the end zone. it was their only hope.
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 21, 2009 7:13 PM EST up reply actions
can you be set for a full second in that situation?
Or is it fully impossible to legally get the snap off?
by David Hooper on Nov 21, 2009 7:13 PM EST up reply actions
it's a great question
maybe they need to go to the tenth-of-a-second clock like in basketball, but watching the replay Jefferson could’ve gotten it snapped before the 0:00…plus I guess you can be set for several seconds after a first down with the clock not running, and that should count
by Will Shelton on Nov 21, 2009 7:15 PM EST up reply actions
It's functionally impossible due to human error, if nothing else.

So now...
Ole Miss to the Capital One? LSU to the Cotton? Outback Bowl completely back in play for us as long as GT beats Georgia and Bama beats Auburn, yes?
I'd feel more comfy if Kentucky beats Georgia tonight.

But it's at least a legit possibility.
And we’d be the ones on a win streak.

One thing I do love about Tennessee's conference scheduling:
Vandy and Kentucky have made for great Senior Day games for the seniors.
Crompton is running like a man on fire
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 21, 2009 7:21 PM EST reply actions
You know, the question shouldn't have been whether Berry ran through the T,
but whether Lincoln or Cunningham were allowed to. ;-)
Moore falls down
4th down. The play action keeping them honest backfired this time

We passed too much that drive
We tried a few playactions on first down to keep them honest, and it didn’t work out too well. Got us into a couple 3rd and longs. Playaction is good and all, but let’s pound the rock.
by Incipient_Senescence on Nov 21, 2009 7:28 PM EST reply actions
You know, we're in the conversation for a couple of walk-on kickers this year.
Palardy will get a scholly, but we might end up snagging a second. Is this a signal?
Were the guys there just singing "Living on a Prayer"?

yes.
Somehow that song has caught on. I think it’s an odd one to be singing.

I heard it watching USC/Oregon a few weeks ago.
Odd that it caught on. I guess everyone loves hockey arena music.

I have a theory about pep band music:
Band directors choose things they liked as a kid, which is invariably 20 years ago. Back in the 90s, everybody did 70s music.

I'm not sure I want to live in a future where
a Matthew Stafford tackle keeps Berry from being atop the record books. ;-)

Technically you made McCluster look like Warren Norman, seeing as Norman leads the league in all purpose yards by quite a margin.

Their TD drive had a couple of, um, questionable penalties.
Most notably a PI call on Rico McCoy where he wasn’t within a yard of the receiver.

Our linebackers are a half step behind on every play
but this is great experience for the long term.
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

If those last 40 seconds don't tell you everything you need to know about Vandy
Then…you must not pay a lot of attention
Still though...
Why is it that we always have to get “good” Vandy?!
