Kickoff in the next few mins: A&M vs Georgia in the first of three Big12 v SEC games

Ok State started the season beating Georgia 24-10 and then later on Oct 10 beat A&M 36-31

Arkansas lost a shoot out to Georgia on Sept 19 (52-41) and then dominated A&M on Oct 3 (47-19)

Oh, and a receiver who caught the ball at the end of the first half and juked around for 3 or 4 seconds instead of getting his ass on the ground, resulting in the end-of-the-quarter spike happening too close to 0 seconds for the somnabulist timekeeper to fall on the button before time ran out.

And 46 or 47 completely unnecessary interceptions.

And about 25 3rd-and-9 conversions by Georgia.

Very frustrating.

Exchanging film is common and I'm sure coaches speak with each other all the time. It's a fraternity like any other industry where you have your friends you want to help and those that you would rather see fall on their ass. Several Nebraska sources have confirmed that OU DC Venables went to Lincoln before the Big 12 game to consult with Pellini and Stoops has been seen in Tuscaloosa with Saban. Saban downplays that he was there to "consult". Now, maybe Stoops has a daughter with girl scout cookies to sell but this seems well beyond the norm to me....or maybe I see red because it's OU.

MB has addressed this issue in his PC yesterday upon arriving in SoCal. He said he had never personally brought another coach to his campus but that he didn't see anything wrong with a coach doing whatever he can to gain an advantage. He even considered it a compliment.

Great game, I had no idea Boise could play that level of defense, I guess shutting down Oregon should have been my first clue. Dalton didn't look sharp from the beginning and never really got it going and speaking of Andy Dalton, did any of the Houston area folks stay up to watch the news after the game? Fox did a story about a 12 year old girl with Cancer and the relationship her and Andy have developed, he wears her bracelet (as does Tebow) and has all season long. He even got a 15 yard penalty for pointing to it after a touchdown in a game earlier in the season. The girl's name is Presley Boydstun and her Father is my friend/co-worker/boss. A very touching story.

With the exception of a few glimpses at attractive TCU rah-rah girls, you'd be hard pressed to find a broadcast that excelled in the number of higly unflattering crowd/band shots, particularly of the Idahodians. The orange manatees were, of course, notable in their impressive hideousness (I swear I heard screaming all down the block) as were the lobotomized Bronco band members featured during the gala halftime entertainment.

Note: All MOB shows excluded from comparison.

Not to hijack, but to memorialize the finest halftime performance by any band, any time, any place. The Marching Owl Band's immortal 'Todd Graham's Inferno.'

Note to folks back home, the Bama fans we have encountered have been aggressively obnoxious. Act like you've been here before, rubes.

They've never beaten us before, so it might be hard for them.

Showing everyone where you used to woo Gloria Swanson?

That would have been extremely inappropriate. He was her 3rd grade teacher, after all.

Is there an inside joke or specific reference that I'm missing?

Crimson Tide = monthly flow jokes aren't obvious enough for you?

I get that one, but the Mexican restaurant's sign "this is the sign your mother warned you about." What's the joke? Or is Austin just being weird again?

ETA: Oh, the second picture is the same sign at another time, just happened to be captured on Google maps. That makes sense... now. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Bama fans can be very obnoxious. I was quite glad I was at Bama for Grad School during some good Auburn years (Bowden's undefeated season included). However, my wife is a Bama fan and she would tell you Auburn fans can be obnoxious too. She was at Auburn as a student during the Bill Curry years.

Thanks - I was wondering the same thing.

I'm guessing the latter. Most Bama fans can't afford to burn a perfectly good couch.

Yup, Saints. The guy is from Louisiana and he bet that the Redskins would beat the Saints, I believe.

I managed to get through 43 seconds of Dwight Yoakum singing Train in Vain. Not sure how I made it that far.

The latter.

This is a bowl game thread. Get that "I love this song" shit out of here.

Bama fans are notorious for lauding their twelve national champoinships in your face, even during seasons in which they are bad.

"It's great...to be...from Alabama."

They chant the hell out of that, but only on game days. Otherwise, it's CRAP!

University of Florida fans disagree, using that as their cheer too.

Alabama has a storied football history rivaled only by Notre Dame. They are a great program with a great team this year. Saban has brought the program back to where it hasn't been since Gene Stallings retired. The defense is the best in the nation. Their special teams are marvelous. Their quarterback is a stud from Texas. The have the Heisman Trophy winner. All the experts pick them to beat UT. It's like it's a done deal. I think I'm still gonna watch the game though.
