GO YELLOW BRITCHES! (LOL - like Maryland has a chance)
GO DAWGS! (Beat the pumpkin vomit people. Please)
ROLL TIDE! (Vandy should just forfeit now and save themselves the embarrassment)
And special mention to J's Gators, who are going up against the No. 1 team in the nation with a freshman QB.
That's gotta suck.

Frosh QB
Submitted by Blonde on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 12:57pm.
We're just not sure which one.....Jeff Driskel was apparently in a boot all week, and do we burn Brisset's redshirt to play today? Or go with Murphy, or with our non-QB super stud athlete, Trey Burton? Oh the drama!
GO GATORS!!!!

7-0, quick strike from 45 out
Hold that Tiger

LSU scores again 14-0
LSU's punter scores
Submitted by Boudin on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 4:22pm.
But it gets called back because they call "taunting" on a punter. Of all the pathetic calls so far this year, that one take the cake.
LSU settles for a FG
Submitted by Boudin on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 4:30pm.
After the bogus taunting call. 17-0
LSU scores again

QB change prompts another series of great plays that result in a TD, LSU up 24-0
Well there goes the shut-out
Submitted by Boudin on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 5:12pm.
Gators get a FG with 8 seconds left. The FG kicker raised his arms up, taunting LSU, no call.
LSU up 24-3
LSU gets the FG back
Submitted by Boudin on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 6:00pm.
Getting a little sloppy here in the second half, with both team committing un-forced penalties
LSU up 27-3
LSU starting to sleepwalk
Submitted by Boudin on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 6:10pm.
Gives up a big TD to the Gators, then lets them convert the 2 points.
LSU up 27-11
Jordon Jefferson runs the ol Tebow goal line pass

For a TD. Tigers waking up, get's 7 back, in the beginning of the 4th
LSU up 34-11
LSU finishes off the Gators
Submitted by Boudin on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 7:02pm.
41-11, Gators still have a lot to play for. They are also better then they have looks in the last few weeks
dont understand the rules Boudin*
Submitted by cajun2 on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 5:11pm.
If that was "taunting" then the game should be canceled. They are playing in "Death Valley" ya' know.
Oh my,

Dem Gators may never recover
Network has been down all
Submitted by ricklail on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 4:23pm.
Network has been down all morning but I finally made it. Let's start off with the Wake Forest fight song: Just for you Hermano
O' Here's to Wake Forest
A glass of the finest
Red ruby rhenish filled up to the brim
Their sons they are many
Unrivaled by any
Who's hearts overflowing we will sing a hymn
Rah, Rah, Wake Forest, Rah
Old Alma Mater sons are we
We'll herald the story and die for her glory
Old Gold and Black is ever waving high.
FSU was ranked in the top ten. Where will they be next week after losses to Oklahoma, ClemPson and Wake, maybe? (Notice it is now ClemPson.) Jumbo and the Criminole go from #5 to not ranked in 3 weeks. Got to be a new choke record.
Maryland deserves to lose. Look at those Gawd awful uniforms. Mark this one on your calendars, Oct 22nd. Jawja Tech-ClemPson. Looks like both will be undefeated when they play. Go Yellow breeches.
Tarheel wins ugly but none the less a win. They had to schedule Louisville after Baby Dooley went running to mama to get him out to the game scheduled with the Heels. Go DAWGS, smash the Pumpkin Puke People.
Texas, how the mighty have fallen.
Time to watch and see if the Gators can have some Tiger meat for supper.
rick,

I'm looking forward to the GT - Clem's son game.
-But the Yellow Britches almost let Maryland come back on them today.
I'm afraid J's Gators are in for a very long season. Hell, my Dawgs might actually even beat them this year - but they need to beat the pumkin pukers tonight.
In fact, I think they are going to have to run the table if they are going to salvage the season and save Mark Richt's job.
And what has happened to Kentucky, as the Game Chickens destroyed them today?

You want Richt back? I have always thought he was a good coach, and the guys played hard for him.
When the day started who
Submitted by ricklail on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 7:13pm.
When the day started who would have thought that one of the best games of the day was VA Tech and the scUM. That one came down to the last play.
It's a good thing the Jackets put up a lot of points early. This is the second week they've let a team come back on them. I feel they are the class of the Atlantic Divsion. VA Tech has not impressed me that much.
One good thing the Jackets get ClemPson and VA Tech at home. But then again they are back to back
I've never heard of 3rd down and 57 before
Submitted by Dave. on Sat, 10/08/2011 - 9:53pm.
Hell, I've never even heard of 4th down and 57.
Damn Dawgs, don't blow it now.
