Opening Kickoff Open Thread/Liveblog

by BearsNecessity on Aug 28, 2008 5:04 PM PDT Comment 143 comments

Hey 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.

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?

The instant update of SBN 2.0 seems better than CoverItLive or anything else as far as Liveblogging is concerned. Why use anything else?

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.

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.

Had no idea… but frankly you need to take Moevao outta there… you needed to take him out of there when there was about 9mins left. This is a lesson we’ve already learned.
