Go Vols!!!!!!11

I just noticed.

Adding the ones to the end of exclamation points give us Bryce Brown’s number.

I like it!

by Hooper on Sep 26, 2009 12:22 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Let's make it RTT law.

Henceforth, if a post demands exclamation requiring several repetitive punctuation marks, the jersey number of Bryce Brown will be attached to the end.

Example: Go Vols!!!!!!11

Amendment 14: The jersey number of BB can be substituted at any time with 14 or EB

Sweet!

You’ll appreciate the Pacific Time Zone, too. For the most part, sports scheduling is far, far better there. No more MNF at 9:30 at night!

Great area

You also get to roll out of bed on Sundays to catch NFL starting at 10am.

Check out Deception Pass and Whidbey Island out in the Puget Sound. So beautiful up there.

Also might want to consider taking up fly fishing- a plethora of great fishing spots within an hour’s drive of where you will be.

Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle... for this is the WINNING EDGE.

Two questions
  1. Who schedules a baby shower at 7pm on a Saturday, much less a UT gameday?
  1. Can you watch replays of the UT game on ESPN360.com? Since I will be missing the majority of the game?

I'm thinking the rain may work out to our advantage.

Less incentive to throw the ball means less interceptions.

LVP for today: my computer.

Hard drive crapped out today, so I’m going to be without 360 and I’ll miss the game.

Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs

Adding to it:

Kentucky had 4 three-and-outs int he first quarter alone. At that rate, this game will have twice as many series at the UT one.

(Oh, and UF scored more in the 1st quarter against UK than UT. On the road. With the flu, we suppose.)

This reminds me of the Rutgers game from about 5 or 6 years ago.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

I'm fine with some of the gains the defense has given up so far.

From the sound of things, UT is completely shutting down the run and forcing Ohio to stay in the air with the ball. Given the talent we have in the backfield, that will catch up to Ohio eventually.

Clearly a bit of post-Florida/pre-Auburn trap game mojo workin against us here

I would agree.

So far, they’ve already been reduced to a passing game designed solely to counter the pass rush. That’s not a lot to work from.

He got spun around.

Had 3 guys there around him. He looked to be trying to throw it away finally, and got hit on the arm before he cocked it back.

Best I can tell:

Swing pass on the blitz side. He ran most of it in.

by Hooper on Sep 26, 2009 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The radio announcers dont' understand the rule.

They’re debating whether (a) he picked it up and then went out of bounds, or (b) if he was out of bounds and completely ineligible to pick it up.

Re: (b). If he’s standing OOB when he touches it, it’s Tennessee’s. But he can re-establish himself. They’re confusing the receiver rule.

Now we just hope the review crew doesn’t screw this up.

Probably not.

But he’s definitely the worst at UT in over 20 years. Admittedly, this is exacerbated by the fact that we’ve had some freaking outstanding QBs since 1990. But even in a field of average QBs he would stick out, and not in a good way.

I can't remember a worse UT QB.

When your best play is throwing the ball away on 3rd and 20,

you might be a bad QB. Jeff Francis just heaped praise on #8 for throwing the ball away.

I think the announcers are reading RTT

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

Typical letdown game

I didn’t expect a WKU repeat because this is a solid MAC team, but I didn’t expect this performance either. I think this will look better once we see Ohio’s W-L at the end of the year, but it’s rather meh right now.

It's entirely possible that Ohio wins out from here.

Not likely, but possible. I’m guessing they’ll end 8-4 or 9-3. Solich really is a pretty good coach.
