PrintHey guys, how about an opening kickoff liveblog? I'll be crosshosting it here and at my site. This is probably going to be a disaster, but this serves as a test-run for the Cal game on Saturday. All of you guys are invited, and I've sent an invite to the CGB guys to be panelists.
(Except for TwistNHook. He can be the waterboy.)
Click here for the liveblog. Or if lazy to do that, just do an open thread below.
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Good luck. I hope this works out well.

Avinash, the frames don’t appear to work on my browser. Several other people also have told me the same thing. At this point, this FanPost might be little more than a link to your blog, more or less. I am appreciative of the fact that you love to contribute to this blog and that you have contributed greatly.
But, Avinash, if this is solely just a link to your blog, it might be prudent to delete this FanPost and link to your blog in today’s DBD. Unless you are going to similarly liveblog it in the comments here, which work as well as CoverItLive, if not more so given that others can respond to you.
What are your thoughts on this?

It’s not a link to my site, it’s a link to a live blog at coveritlive. I could turn this into an open thread and let people have their choice of CGB comments or Cover it Live.

Prefer AJAX over PHP IMHO
Updates faster and is the same functionality… basically. Plus wider margins here and formatting too… Can we have the open thread over here?
It is, inevitably, a link to content not on this site and no NEW content being created from it. If you want to delete this and move it to the DBD, that’d be cool. If you want to do an open thread here where you are creating new content about the games, then that’d be cool.
Otherwise, you put me in an awkward position. We already have the Jerry Rice Jr. thread to turn into tomorrow’s DBD. So, I either delete that one and use this. Or I delete this and just use that. I don’t want to have to delete any post. And people have actually started a good discussion in the other thread.

Eh, this isn’t a discussion about topics, this is an open thread about ACTUAL GAMES. Being played. You know. Games. Those things this blog exists for.
I just figured there’d be some interest in tonight’s games and there’d be organic discussion. The liveblog is the way I’m covering the game; this thread could be the same. Judging from the lack of comments, I’m guessing there’s none.
Avinash, I think that if you were to liveblog it in the comments here, there would be organic discussion. I know people respect your knowledge and football acumen.
But if you are just doing all the work on another site away from here, I’m not sure how organic the discussion would be here. But I look forward to being proven wrong.

Danzig, if you and Avs were to liveblog it over here, I’m sure organic discussion would follow.

Huh?… Rags wants use coveritlive… and Twist wants to use CGB… can we get some consensus? I would prefer CGB, but it’s not a big deal for me either way.
I think what Rags is saying is that if you are depending on him to live blog it with you here the entire night, it won’t happen, because he is about to leave. I doubt he’d be against you liveblogging it here at all.
Pritchard has some good wheels. But that last hit there, I feel bad for him after that. Ai!
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Fine I’m staying here.
Pritchard needs to find his dump off man faster… plus wasn’t Stanford line supposed to be “vastly improved” this year?… they still stink ass.
We can’t do both? Each offers their own experience.
I don’t know. Can’t we all get along? FOOTBALL SEASON JUST STARTED!
So…many…punts….

oh, man, that’s a clutch defensive play, taking away a stroughter touchdown.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
is it just me, or does stanford manage to find the strangest collection of names for its football team? it’s uncanny.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
This is feeling too much like baseball.

Not As baseball :(!
I do agree that that D player on the potential OSU TD was pretty sly. I think it’s kind of an inane rule, though. They should just pick players up and walk them out of bounds.
Jim Harbaugh’s son is a lot uglier than him.
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
So, like, do we get to talk about the Stanford LBs soon?
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Yknow I’m so torn. I don’t want to see Stanford score/do well and Harbaugh be happy. But I tihnk OSU is more likely to challenge Cal in the Pac10 this year. So, technically, we sohuld be rooting for Stanford.
Ai!
Penalty flags!
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely

What? How can you say that...
well, I sorta am too… but only cuz the stadium is empty… I feel somewhat sorry for them.
So…if Oregon State loses, when they play us they’ll go “Oh noes, we lost to Stanford, how can we possibly beat them???”
by BearsNecessity on Aug 28, 2008 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Didnt matter. 7-0 Stanford.

I like how you took the Beaver points off the board.

oh man!
vandy is beating miami of ohio! thank you espn for informing me of this urgent news bulletin!
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Every game is a treasure. Except for last year’s Big Game.

Losing their starting front seven would do that.

I am so glad Yvenson Bernard is in the NFL now. OSU’s offense doesn’t seem to be able to do much so far.
This Obama O is really taking it to the McCain D.

A white running back and a black president. The universe will now collapse.

Awesome line from Yahoo Sports for an NC State player:
3rd-1, NCSt42 Player rushed up the middle for 23 yard loss
I love the ACC.
One of the announcers says he thinks Cal or OSU could challenge USC as the top Pac-10 school this season.
Ron Franklin is one of the best ESPN play-by-play men. That other guy’s good too. Both of them will be at the Cal-MSU game.

-A… lots of specifics and he set up his positions for the debates. Delivery was great as usual.
We’re talking about Harbagh’s half interview right?
I can’t believe he talked for like nearly 45 minutes. It seemed like it went by in the flash of an eye.
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Huh? What speech were you watching? Harbaugh spoke for like 45 seconds. Lay off that sharp cheese bro, just lay off a little.
You know they’re going to sweep with Rodgers at least 5 times a game… how you not game plan for that?
Screw five times a game, why not five times in a row.

Or Gerhart is the white Eric Dickerson.
by BearsNecessity on Aug 28, 2008 8:29 PM PDT up reply actions
Actually, that was close. Looked parallel to me… but there won’t be anything conclusive to overturn the safety.
They just took out the official!

I think ESPN has found their white guy to love in college football.

193 rush yards for Stanford!?!? And they aren’t even in the 4th yet. Damn.
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely

We should all now fear all 3rd and 15s in the Big Game. We’ll just have to force all our turnovers on 2nd down.

I feel as if this says more about the OSU D than it does about the Stanford O. Perhaps my praise of the OSU D was too premature.

Check out the open thread over at BtD
there’s a Stanford fan on there just constantly talking smack to the beavs fans… “TOBY, TOBY, TOBY!”.
http://www.buildingthedam.com/2008/8/28/603064/beaver-gameday-open-thread#comments
I totally think that’s a dick move, but it is funny.
Sideline reporters can sometimes be total DICKS
Sammy says… “gee thanks for constantly talking about my depression then congratulating me for recovering on national TV… thanks assholes.”
INT!!!!
Can the furd really pull this off? Can this be possible???
Yeah, in the list of greatest upsets ever, it’d be in the top billion.
by BearsNecessity on Aug 28, 2008 9:00 PM PDT up reply actions
It’s still a big upset given that some pundits think Oregon State will finish above us this year.
But did anyone think Stanford would be playing this well on D?
I thought he was injured, no?
Go Bears!

Stupid Announcers
OSU is #2 in the since 2002. Uh, no, Cal is #2 in both conference record and overall. Ted Miller made this claim a few weeks ago, was corrected and admitted Cal was #2. Idiots.
http://sportingcontrarian.wordpress.com/
I think they’re thinking of the entire decade, which would have included the Holmoecaust.

What happens to people when they play for an Oregon school?
http://sportingcontrarian.wordpress.com/
Ok, what did I just miss? Was there another EXCITING safety?
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely

Yes, the Stanford tree started tackling Moveao and they threw him out of the game.
