Cal v. Colorado State 9.27.08 First Kwarter Thread

by TwistNHook on Sep 27, 2008 7:47 AM PDT in Football Comment 54 comments

Since 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. Pregame Thread.

Use this one to discuss all the game's first kwarter action.

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!

These upsets are making me nervous.

When it rains, it pours.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 2:23 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

and hey

We’ve already had our upset. It wouldn’t be as much of an upset if we lost again, so therefore it can’t be an upset, eh?

I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

I’ll be happier when we start playing. Probably just jitters right now.

What about that Ram recipe?

by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 3:10 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Can't believe I made Riley Skinner my starting fantasy QB

15-25, 173 yards, 3 INTs. That is a special level of suckage.

i can't believe i picked up jake locker!

I was thinking about picking up that Navy guy too. I think his name is something like Kaipo Ksdfqewfpi323fr2p-Noa.

I wouldn't worry, Yellow Fever

My RBs, 250 yards, teams score a combined 70 points…and neither gets a touchdown. I’m pretty sure Ringer outscored both of them combined.

It’s Greg Papa…

Blue jerseys, blue pants?

Mmmm….disconcerting.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 3:19 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Not sure how many people are in the stands

Probably less than 55,000.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 3:22 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

It was confirmed to be around 63,000

More than MSU, apparently, which is very surprising.

Really?

The MSU game didn’t sell out?

by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

They said the turnout was just under 63,000, which I found hard to believe. Official numbers have today’s game at a little under 64,000.

at least the D looks fine

Yeah, that looks like the least worrisome aspect of the game today.

zomg

The Big Ten is just as awful as the Pac-10. Wisconsin is losing to Michigan.

Nah. Wisconsin is overrated almost every year; they’re way worse than Cal in the way the media loves them. Penn State is the class of that conference right now, along with maybe the Buckeyes.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 3:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

y'know

It’d be helpful if we tried throwing the ball more than five yards down the field at a time.

Kind of like watching the Niners play. I wonder who was involved with that offense.

Nice play by Best. Then a bad play by Best.

also

I think it’s safe to say we can table the Jahvid for Heisman talk until next year.

Thank God. The more Heisman talk we have here the worse we do.

almost pulled a desean there

by kluge on Sep 27, 2008 3:38 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Did Nbuffiie just pull a Desean? It looked like he threw the ball before he crossed the line (lol)

by Shadwhand on Sep 27, 2008 3:38 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

That was a strange angle.

I think he got it in.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 3:39 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

LoL... second angle

No wayy! Not even close!

Haha

That’s what I totally thought too…
Did he really get it in? :o

Wow, I dunno

by BearsNecessity on Sep 27, 2008 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

No question in my mind he pulled a DeSean.

I think Tedford should put his foot down on that nonsense. If I were Colorado State, I would have challenged that all the way.

Tedford drives a Saturn

I’m listening to the radio broadcast, and there was a lovely little comercial where Tedford gushes about his Saturn. Cause “the Tedford family drives Saturns”. Classic.
