Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

RTT Podcast: Tennessee-Oregon Tonight At 9:00 EDT

Join us tonight for the Rocky Top Talk Podcast as we talk a bit about last week's win over UT-Martin and a bunch about this week's game against the Oregon Ducks. We'll be joined by Matt Daddy of the SB Nation Oregon blog Addicted to Quack, and Will's going to host the thing entirely in pure 5-7-5 haiku form, so be sure to tune in. It's roughly at halftime of the Thursday night ESPN game.

Here's the pertinent info:

You don't have to have a Talkshoe account, but it helps us identify who you are when you call or participate in the live chat. You can also just lurk and listen live by clicking the magic orange widget below. Or you can wait, download it later, and listen to it in your car on the way to work tomorrow. We're flexible that way.

Remember the worst
haiku is still better than
more Brett Favre chatter

Are you sure of this?
Because I really agree.
I’m not so sure now.

Though to be fair, since it's Auburn-MSU,

tonight’s poems should really be in 3-2 form.

Oh, and for those keeping score,

this thread will serve nicely as an open thread for the SEC game tonight. There’s no need to draw up a new thread for it, and the podcast is at halftime anyhow.

I’m going to be ESPN3’ing the thing, so if anybody else is up for idle chat, I’m game.

by David Hooper on Sep 9, 2010 7:17 PM EDT reply actions  

I keep on wanting to use Win Forever to describe the game tonight

May as well since that slogan is now available.

Has anyone ever offered a credible explanation as to why Zoosk is buying time on ESPN?

Really, I don’t think relationships are on people’s minds when it’s cowbellin’ time.

Part of me wishes we played them this year.

That is, the part of me who spent 30 hours this offseason staring at their stuff and trying to figure out how they do what they do.

The rest of me is glad we don’t play them.

by Chris Pendley on Sep 9, 2010 7:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Was that called?

If so, that was great. If not, that’s a great built-in read – check to a bubble screen in the face of the blitz. I hope it’s the former, but if it’s the latter, that won’t be the only time we see that this weekend.

On replay:

I can see an audible to the bubble pretty easily thanks to numbers on that side of the field anyway, but the blitz only sealed the deal.

Meanwhile

Don’t look now, but Temple has missed 2 FGs and we’re sitting scoreless in that game.

When's the last time Mississippi State had a decent quarterback?

They’re always going to be a QB away from being taken really seriously

Never, I think.

Ive been trying for twenty minutes now

to remember the name of any Miss State QB from the last 19 years, and Im drawing a blank. Heck, I cant tell you whos playing QB for them tonight, and they just went off the field.

So have I said yet how glad I am that Cam Newton transferred?

Because I’m glad he’s not at Florida.

That rode J-Lo like a mechanical bull for about 5 yards?

He was Tebow

What was that jump pass?

He DOES think he’s Tebow. Good grief, the ramifications of that genetic freak’s play in the league will plague us for years.

Wow.

THERE’s the crazy Miss State we all know, love, and missed.

Why three passes?

The run was working and the pass just … wasn’t.

Fans won't respond to school fines.

It’s too abstract to them. If you want to corral the cowbell use, make it a 15-yarder. (First time’s a warning.)

Newton

Is very, very Tebowesque.

Dont give up hope

Miss State is the kind of team that can always miss a PAT to send themselves into OT

Or that.
