PrintSince it is unclear whether any CGB Marshawnthusiast will be at a computer for the game today, we've decided to put up all these threads ahead of time. Use this one to discuss all the action of the earlier games as we careen helplessly towards the CSU game today at 3 PM. I, for one, am excited to see the new stadium view without the trees and tree-sitter circus.
If you missed anything this week, don't forget to check out our discussion of interesting rules, including Ragnarok's favs. We also discussed the national football rankings and the Pac10 football rankings. And regarding today's opponent, CSU, we had a Q+A with another blog, looked at some game film, and took a shallow look at their O and D.
So, comment away!

You weren’t the one to vote for blowout defeat were you?

i just want our bears to look good
TD Michigan State…but oh, it’s a QB sneak. Ringer gets nothing.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
eh, no one expects them to be good
except at tailgating. and hot coeds. i hear they’re good at those things.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I expect them to be good! Houston Nutt a gamer!

Sparty machine is rolling
20-7, turning into a rout with Kellen Lewis out.
Clemson 10, Maryland 6.

Fantastic start by Indiana’s receivers (dropped balls) and Indiana’s d-backs (dropped picks). They keep on throwing the ball too, so that leaves plenty of time for Ringer to destroy them later on.

MSU should really work on that punt-blocking stuff.

Yeah!
I picked up Terrelle Pryor in the fantasy league and the dude is blowing up!

"officials will universally give the benefit of the doubt to not calling a safety"
I think we’ve seen that.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
At least the holding forced a safety.
I will not be denied more safeties.

98 yard TD reversed because of a holding in the end zone
Safety for the Spartans. Figures.

Maryland takes the lead
20-17. Clemson driving to midfield.

Ole Miss 24 Florida 17, near the end of 3rd.
Lots of bad tackling by the Gators on that last touchdown.

Maryland upsets #20 Clemson
Great comeback by Maryland on the road. Our loss to them stings a little less now.

WOW
Miami throws the game winning TD, but he can’t hold on and it goes into the North Carolina D-back’s hands for an INT and touchback. This after NC scored the game winning TD with under 50 seconds left.
by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 12:15 PM PDT reply actions
Wow
I’m disappointed I missed that. I saw the final NC touchdown and that was a very nice catch.

That was serious madness

I'm fairly confident that the announcer for this Indiana/Michigan State game loves Matt Canada
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
Terrible secondary coverage by the Gators
Ole Miss does a simple route from the side.

UCLA runs the opening kickoff in for a TD
and then has it called back to their own 13 yard line for a holding penalty.
ಠ_ಠ
UCLA then goes three-and-out
and allows Fresno St to return the punt for a TD.
It’s going to be a long day in Pasadena.

If by long you mean many points
Tied at 7.

Ticket sales had been so poor that UCLA had to make a large ad in the Fresno Bee asking people to come to the game.

Holy shit, Florida scores
And Ole Miss BLOCKS THE PAT. 31-30 Rebels.

Gators get the ball back
80 yards to go.

4th and short
This’d be a long field goal. Probably going for it.
by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 12:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Going for the field goal?
I’m getting audio but it’s only refreshing at about one frame per two or three second period.

In b4 “Ole Miss beat Florida because the SEC is a tough conference whereas USC lost because they were overrated”

so is he more like Chicago Bears Rex Grossman or Cal Bears Kyle Boller?
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

That’s an insult to Kyle Boller. He’s more like Matt Cassel.

And Fresno scores in sixty seconds.
14-10

The special teams in this game is beyond retarded
78 yard kickoff return. UCLA scores immediately to make it 16-13. And both teams missed their conversion points (Fresno a 2 pointer, UCLA an extra point)

Nice job by Arian Foster
fumbles it at his goalline with Crompton. Turns a close game into 14-6 Auburn and pretty much death for the Vols.
That was Crompton's fault
My Lord. That was awful.

He's been practically Ayoobesque
I’m not even joking. This is worlds of bad. I pity Tennessee fans who have to watch this every week.

Wisconsin 6, Michigan 0
And really the Wolverines have been killing themselves. Although they got hosed with that last penalty.
And that fumble recovery was clearly out of bounds. Great work refs.
by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 1:44 PM PDT up reply actions
Wolverines have three turnovers
Two in their own red zone. 16-0 now.
by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 1:55 PM PDT up reply actions
Now FIVE turnovers
19-0 at halftime. Unbelievable.

The family and I were hanging out at the dog park on Hearst Ave. about an hour ago when a police caravan drove by. Two police motorcycles, a couple cars, and in between them two well-maintained buses. Presuming this was CSU coming to the stadium, I quickly gave them a “thumbs down” salute.
My wife, less interested in decorum, gave them the double bird.
All I can say is that I hope Tedford does not put up the team at a hotel the night before the game and then drive them to the game.
by markdash on Sep 27, 2008 1:45 PM PDT reply actions 2 recs
That’d be pretty awesome. Tedford’s drives a huge pimpmobile into the stadium as hippies and environmentalists look on in horror. Then everyone starts jumping out of the bus.

i'm guessing if he didn't want to fly the players out a day early
That our guys don’t get put up him hotels for home games. But I’ve never heard anything one way or the other.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

If true, I wonder where they were staying, in SF?
Had an epic pre-game taunting experience at the Claremont for the Minn game in 2006. We happened to bump into the Gophers filing through the hotel to get into their bus. We were loaded and laid into them. They were fucking huge, but luckily they mostly ignored us! I still take credit for rocking their fragile psyche and allowing Cal to kick their asses.
