What's the crowd tonight look like?
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Looks like y'all might be on your own tonight
Will’s at the game, Hooper had a car problem put him behind on school work, and I’m watching with my dad. I may pop in and out, but we’ll see.
Enjoy.

Apparently I'm using the royal y'all.

LaMarcus Thompson is out?
Uh-oh.

That was a quick opening drive.
Also, Eric Berry is an impact player. Go figure.

Something about three SEC teams to the BCS, I think.

Crompton's doing the staring thing again.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Just popping in for a sec.
I didn’t explain things well to Joel earlier – it’s a house A/C problem, not a car problem. But either way, I’ll be absent for the night, and probably for the near future. Real life hates blogging.
/rant, back to the game
You go, Mr. Do-It-Yourself.
Shoot me an email if you need anything; I don’t work with residential A/C units typically but I may be able to offer some insight.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
most likely the evaporator motor.
The fuse for the control circuits keeps blowing when the A/C side kicks in. The blower side works just fine, so I have it on emergency heat until I can get a repair guy up. I don’t do refrigerant.
Single-phase unit?
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Hm.
Could also be an issue with the reversing valve; I presume it’s operating in heating mode. Either way, if the compressor’s pulling in too many amps that’s going to cause the fuse to pop. I’m not familiar with the Goodman line, so I can’t really speculate as to why unfortunately.
Alternatively, if the reversing valve is blown you may be tripping off because the compressor safeties are going off to not freeze the machine.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
That fuse keeps blowing?
That’s weird. If the compressor was overamping it’d be something 120V, I think. Is the fuse on the unit itself?
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Yeah, it's in the control panel. But I dug in and found the thing.
It’s part of the circuit board that controls the evaporator motor.
Maybe you should email them to me, heh.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Although I suppose if anything I'm looking for a wiring diagram.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Can't guarantee anything, but it's worth a shot.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
They're attacking where the MLB would be if we had one.

Ah. That'll be fun.
Sheridan’s pretty, but there’s no reason to stop in Gillette if your car doesn’t need gas. Nothing but coal mining out there.
To put it mildly.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Did Kiffin bring in a special teams coach?
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Well, we're still incapable of stopping anything up the middle.
They haven’t passed much, but they haven’t had to. On the other hand, we get the ball to start the 2nd half.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
At the half:
Kentucky’s tearing us through the middle, but we’ve had success running the ball. We’ll need a couple of stops to have a chance, though. If the second half goes at all like the first we’re not winning this.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
First down, Crompton!
That was one heck of a designed run on 3rd and 11 (gutsy call, too).
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
why didnt we run that?

They had the pursuit to the edge.
It was the right call to cut back, but I don’t think the line knew what his plan was.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Oh, man.
I can’t really fault the idea on 4th down too much (this odd rollou play that was at least not predictable), but Crompton wasn’t quite able to get in the end zone.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
ok.
So, does Monte’s D have a chance if KY keeps running towards the middle of the field?
I'd rather not answer that.
Let’s just say we need MLBs.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
This tackling remnds me of some of the poorer Chavis games.

McCoy, Lathers, and I'm not sure beyond that.
Hoop saw LaMarcus Thompson earlier, so that’s good.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Finally, Kentucky fails to convert on a 3rd down.
Whether or not it was a flagrantly incomplete pass or not, I’ll take it. But this team is tired, and it’s not just from this game.

Same here, heh.
But i’ll take Luke Stocker looking good.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Stocker looks gone
I’d say there may be a better than 50% chance he takes a look at declaring for the draft
That's a bit vague. :)
But I wouldn’t be surprised at this point either. I hope not, though.

I think Kelly hinges on Cincy's ability to upgrade facilities.
I would be that he understands the difficulty in restoring Notre Dame at this point. He’s also said a lot about building a brand new powerhouse, though that may be political spin. I still think he’s the hot topic for ND, but it may not be as lockdown as it seems.

Hardesty has a good chance
for 1st day draft status. I know he’s got the injury bug history, but he doesn’t have a lot of miles on him as a result

will hopefully get better with his cuts.

Hardesty has my full blessing to go pro.
He can hang it up for the Big Orange after keeping the streak alive.
What do you get a team for their silver anniversary
of wins over another program?

possibly
we don’t know yet, though. But with Ole Miss losing and a potential LSU collapse, it might be possible. We are the best non-Florida choice from the East, so I like the odds.
Because we're 2nd in the SEC East.
How was I the first person to say that?

I'm pulling for LSU, but mainly 'cause I have them in the pick 'em.
Also, LSU fans scare me.

Oh, I'm toast in there too.
But absent any better idea on who to root for, might as well.

Ooo!
We can give them all of Memphis’ vacated wins. Or we can wait a few years and give them Kentucky’s vacated wins.

I recommend heading to ASoB and giving them a classy handshake.
They’ll probably be fairly distraught, so be kind. But that was a heck of an effort.
I am a huge Rick Brooks fan
Just a old crusty old coach that’s turned that ship around
He has my vote for SEC coach of the decade.
What he’s done at Kentucky has been nothing short of miraculous.
They've been coming out with best shot these last few years.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
I think I'll give it a while.
If I were them, I wouldnt even wanna see the color orange for a while.
And it’s only gonna be worse when we beat em twice in roundball.
Just dropped by to say
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Ark vs LSU
game is down to a field goal attempt.
Glad that game didn't end when ours did.
Meanwhile, of all things ND-Stanford is going to be in the fourth quarter when this gets done with.

Only if they eat steak in the locker room.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
To be fair to Stocker, he did have the ball well-gripped.
A square-on helmet-to-football hit will do that to the best ball carriers.
Actually, you'll have to fill me in.
I don’t remember that play; it was before my UT time (as odd as that sounds).
I honestly can't remember.
But I vividly remember him being extraordinarily distraught on the sidelines. And I think Stocker has the abilities to be a similarly good NFL TE.
at Florida in 2001...
luckily, it didn’t end up mattering either.
It was a good hit coupled with a typicaly-good idea.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Easier to accept with a W
but a valid point.
So...
With Ole Miss and Auburn going down, are we a lock for the Outback or is there still a chance we get passed over.
Still a chance to be passed over, but I think we're the favorite for it.
The ‘Three’ (Capital One, Outback, and Cotton) are designed to take the best non-BCS, an East, and a West respectively, with some flexibility in case that’s an unwise arrangement. UT is the best rep from the East, and there’s not a strong argument for three West teams and no East teams.
Yeah, it'd be LSU to the Cotton and not sure about the others, I think.
I don’t think Ole Miss will go back (Cotton doesn’t like repeats, apparently).
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Most bowls don't.
There’s a general belief that fans don’t like revisiting the same place unless it’s a BCS game.
looking at the standings, I think we want LSU to win.
That’d put LSU and Ole Miss into Cap 1 and Cotton bowls (in either order) and leave Arky at 7-5 with a 3-5 conference record. That should guarantee the Outback for us.
They nearly pulled a 3rd and Chavis, though.

I'll take it.
Is this the best 7-5 team in the country
Well, ND could finish 7-5...

Sorry, Lou Holtz was channeling me for a moment there.

depends on how you feel about Stanford or Oklahoma.
Tough call, honestly. All three have had their problems.
If we're healthy, I'd put up against OU in a hurry.
Right now … I’m not so sure.

But they had no offensive line, either.

Life would be much easier if UGA were to lose tonight.
Then they’d be at 6-6 and out of the conversation entirely. But beating Tech at the end of the season puts them at 7-5 and makes for a nice little statement to the selection committees.
But SEC pride wins out.
The fact that the two teams headed to the ACC championship both got beat by middle of the pack SEC teams would be sweeeet.
For you, maybe.
Coordinators’ heads are still going to roll, so I just want the most pain possible.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
They don't pump gas in Georgia, do they?
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Can't pump what ya aint got
Back during the Great Gas Shortage of ought-eight, even after everyone else had gas, Atlanta was still bone dry.
But Gov Purdue
is still trying to sue to get some water out of TN
Itls win-win, really.
If UGA wins, Go SEC!
If Tech wins, it helps our bowl chances, and UGA fans’ tears taste like sweet, sweet honey.
If UGA wins, they can't finish below .500.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
But if they win tonight, it's not even possible.
I’d have issues seeing it too, but they need to be 6-6 to have a shot at 6-7.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
Also, if they win they may not get weedwackers.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
I'll take an ACC win
over UGA any day. I’ll take a SoCon 1-AA win over UGA
Way to go Vols!!
Thank you Hardesty, Crompton, and all the seniors that experienced a peculiar four years on Rocky Top!!!
Thank you Joel, Hooper, and Will as well! Great job guys. Looking forward to some basketball game threads.
So does anyone know why UT - UK doesnt play for the beer barrel anymore?

From
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3469/is_34_50/ai_59877823/
But last November, the annual post game display was canceled out of respect for the victims of the crash one week earlier that killed Kentucky transfer player Arthur Steinmetz and Eastern Kentucky student Scott Brock, the best friend of then-Kentucky star quarterback Tim Couch.
wow, terribly unfortuante, but thanks

I saw that, fortunately.

I’m sure he’s a good coach, but Tiger High seems like it could be a graveyard for coaches for a good long while.
did you see west's presser when he was fired by rc johnson?

I saw the Commercial Appeal's retrospective.
They basically acknowledged that West was the best coach they’ve had there. It’s tough; too many SEC schools are inside the city borders. There’s plenty of talent there, though.

funny tidbit:
when they recruit at memphis, they dont even show them the liberty bowl. or the area surrounding it. but they do show them the airport. My neighbor in memphis is/was the o-line coach. in his words “no wonder we lost to Houston, they have TWO airports”

Probably a good idea, actually.
That place is a dump.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
My guess is recruiting.
An LSU coach would have Louisiana ties, which would complement the Memphis recruiting scene nicely.
Georgia is in control
A field goal is all they need.
GT's defense has ...issues.
Simulated Gameday Experience - just like the real thing, only we have smoke machines.
WIDE LEFT!
GT’s still in it.

See if that screen call
comes back to bite them….which would really hurt if it were a robot
But you can just switch it off.
It’s much different than the typical off switch for that dog, which is temperatures over 60 degrees.

I think it's an estimated

Last figure I saw
was a total brown number, but it was 18 million for him and the assistants I think.
what about if youre an asst for UT?

only get 7 or 8
Perhaps, sometime in the early 22nd century
Notre Dame will finally realize they’re just not that good a football team.
