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!

np

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.

LSU got the onside

That was one of the most impressive onside recoveries I've seen.

In stride and got about 12-15 yards after picking it up.

Nice return by Oku

Also LSU down in the red zone.

Maybe I lied on LSU

Must’ve just been a replay.

that sack was HUGE

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.

Great start

take the illusion of victory away from Vandy early, we need a big win to exorcise the demons of last week

by Will on Nov 21, 2009 7:11 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

And they don't.

I can’t believe they even tried to do it.

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   0 recs

No way to have the FG team ready either

Jefferson should’ve snapped it and tried something

by Will on Nov 21, 2009 7:13 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

can you be set for a full second in that situation?

Or is it fully impossible to legally get the snap off?

by Hooper on Nov 21, 2009 7:13 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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 on Nov 21, 2009 7:15 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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?

by Will on Nov 21, 2009 7:16 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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.

Moore falls down

4th down. The play action keeping them honest backfired this time

To Poole. I guess our new kicker sucks too

Ah.

Calm down, Johnny

senior day jitters, maybe, but he’s high on everything

by Will on Nov 21, 2009 7:25 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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?

by Hooper on Nov 21, 2009 7:29 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

yes.

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

by Hooper on Nov 21, 2009 7:31 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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. ;-)

by Hooper on Nov 21, 2009 7:38 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I hope so.

Though I just missed everything. My internet burped just as kickoff was happening.

that’s probably a hold

Nope. Holding

At any rate, we punt now.

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

Okay

No more scoring by Vanderbilt. This was my predicted score for them.

They’re having a tough time with Vandy.

get out of here...vandy?

whats the score?

"Why does bottled water have an expiration date?"

10-10

UT driving with 5-6 minutes left in the first half.

by Hooper on Nov 21, 2009 8:07 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

wow

I am suprised

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.

Because believe me, Vandy’s offense is not that good

by VolnVA on Nov 21, 2009 8:04 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Ref assisted.

The umpire picked the Georgia defender.

It may be close.

The way it’s been going, I can see it overturned.

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.
