More unwatchable game?

LSU-Georgia or Penn State-Illinois?

God damn, these games are brutal to watch. Fortunately, I can turn it to FOX and watch Greinke pitch when the Twins are up to bat, but the CFB games on TV right now are horrible. LSU and Georgia are TERRIBLE teams. Georgia is just plain inept on both sides of the field. And I say that with LSU having just 6 points midway through the 3rd. That's more to do with LSU's offense being terrible.

ISU-Kansas State game is pretty good though. Listening to that on the radio. John Walters, ISU announcer, is probably the most annoying announcer I've ever heard. 5 yard gains sound like 60 yard TD's. But it is an exciting game. I wish it was on TV.

Really interested in that Oklahoma-Miami game. I don't know how to predict that one. I'm not sure how good OU is without Greshman/Bradford and I'm also not sure if last week was a fluke or Miami really is not back. We'll know more about both of these teams tonight. With a win, both teams are still alive in the national title hunt. Obviously neither can afford another loss. Miami's remaining schedule is light and if they can beat OU, there's no reason to think they can't win their remaining games.

This ND-Washington game is proving to be pretty entertaining. Locker vs Claussen, in the rain.

I love games in South Bend, especially in bad weather.

Btw, someone may want to wrap up on Golden Tate.

Shit, forgot that was on (turning station now).........

Man, what a brutal finish for Iowa State. So fucking sick. They needed to win this game to have a shot to get to a bowl game this year and they drove down the field with about 30 seconds to go and scored to make it 24-23 and had the PAT blocked. Wow. Some teams are just cursed, I guess.

ND needs to figure out how to stop UW and make a tackle or they are about to be in trouble.

UW bails them out with the slowest developing QB sneak i've seen in some time.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:20 pm

Horrible tackling by ND...until that goal line stand, where they came up big.

Biggest play of the game. Now ND is running the ball out of danger.

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:27 pm

yeah, momentum has changed quite a bit here in the last couple minutes. this was about to be a 2 score game and now ND is threatening to take the lead.

#82 fails to catch the ball with his facemask. only slightly less bad than getting hit in the numbers.

Is this the game that gets Weis fired? Washington was 0-12 last season, then going out and beating SC and ND?!?!?! Who would have thought?

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:47 pm

Major balls on that answering drive by Washington, including the conversion of the crucial 4th and 3.

ND isn't tackling, or converting in the red zone, and that's been the difference so far.

Mante Te'o looks to already be ND's best defender. Man, I wish USC would've gotten that guy.

Oh, shit, now they're saying no TD, so this one's still going...

Cross Traffic · Post by **Cross Traffic** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:49 pm

Are you serious? Worst 3 plays you could imagine calling at the goal line.

Washington is no joke. Their D is vastly improved under Nick Holt, and they have Locker back, with Sarkisian coaching them. This team bears no resemblance to last year's team.

Jesus, another goal line stand by ND, to keep them in the game.

Washington's O outsmarted themselves there. 1st and goal from inches, you run Locker four straight times if you have to.

Holy crap! Roughing the snapper penalty, and it's 1st and goal again!!

Yeah, I bet they run Locker this time.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:51 pm

Wtf?? Just run Locker four times. One of those times he'll get in!

Now, with the penalty, who knows...

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:52 pm

God, this is like pulling teeth! Back to third and inches...

Cross Traffic · Post by **Cross Traffic** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:53 pm

6 attempts to punch it in.....all FAIL!

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:55 pm

Damn, another 4th and goal from the inches, after they stopped Locker!

Awesome goal line stand by ND!

Washington concedes, and goes for the FG. Those goal line stands ought to win this game for ND.

FG good. Back to a 5 point game, with two plus minute left.

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:55 pm

UGA just wet the bed against LSU. score to take the lead with a minute left, get called for celebration and give LSU the ball at midfield. LSU breaks a long TD run while setting up FG attempt. ball game.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:01 pm

It's just going to be a question of whether ND can punch it in here, since this time a FG won't get it done. Will all those FGs they settled for kill them here, or will their goal line stands prove to be the difference?

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:03 pm

Well, fuck, that was easy. Did they leave too much time on the clock though?

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:06 pm

Haaa! ND, with their own "Bush Push," to convert the two point play!

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:07 pm

HUGE error by the Washington kick returner! Holy fuck, that was bad! You CAN'T do that, dude!!

Now Wasington has to go 65 yards, just to try and put it into O.T.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:10 pm

Washington receiver slowed up on that bomb, then alligator armed it. His fault.

there's that and they picked up the celebration penalty flag. costs UW about 30+ yards combined.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:11 pm

CAUGHT!! They're in FG range!

Cross Traffic · Post by **Cross Traffic** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:11 pm

What a catch!

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:11 pm

This game deserves to go into O.T. What a game.

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:12 pm

oh no. tough one for UW. new life.....not a catch.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:13 pm

That hit the ground. No INT.

Cross Traffic · Post by **Cross Traffic** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:13 pm

No catch! Figures the Big Least officials would screw it up.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:14 pm

This game deserves to go four O.T.'s.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:15 pm

Chipshot FG attempt to put this into O.T...

testy angle

What a clutch fucking drive!

Let's play some O.T., folks!

'09 ND Fighting Irish = Bernie Kosar "Kardiac Kids" Cleveland Browns

Crazy to see Sarkisian laughing with his kicker before the crucial kick, then again with Locker afterwards.

They're fucking laughing. Awesome.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:22 pm

Okay, I don't hate college football anymore. This game has been a blast.

Definitely the proverbial "It's a shame someone had to lose!" game. Both teams = Major huevos.

Jeez, Washington, think you might wanna double Golden Tate?

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:27 pm

Both D's looking exhausted. ND had no problem punching that one in.

Locker's turn now...

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 11:29 pm

dawgs have their work cut out for them now. 3rd and a bunch.
