MNF: UCLA/Tenn and Fresno/Rutgers edition

[badger]

WHY SO SERIOUS? ;)

Fresno up 10-7 in fourth and are driving. Should I be surprised? Thoughts on Fresno being good, Rutgers, falling off the nat'l spotlight? Hmm...

I'm more looking forward to the 7 p.m. Tenn/UCLA game. I will spend the next hour trying to decide if I dislike Rick or Phil more... nope, still undecided. Tough call.

[Curly Bill]

I dislike Phil more because he's a sleazebag and a fat-***. Rick is just a sleazebag.

...and Tennessee always seems to pull in some recruits we want $$$.

[Cam]

How many field goals have Rutgers missed so far? They could've put this game away early and failed to punch it in from the 1 on 3rd and 4th downs.

[badger]

I, too, am disheartened by Tennessee taking Oklahoma talent out-of-state (another reason to look forward to the beatdown we give them with the home-and-home in a few years).

However, wasn't Rick an in-conference cheat and d!ck back when he was with Colorado?

[Curly Bill]

Rick has never bothered me quite like he does some people. Phil on the other hand does.

[badger]

UCLA fans were NOT nice to us in 2005 when we visited them (not too many visited us when they came here in 2003, so I am indifferent in regards to that game). I don't think there's been many Tennessee incidents yet between Vol fans and Sooner fans, other than recruiting woe.

[Curly Bill]

Rick is cocky/arrogant, Phil is a mediocre lard-***. Somehow that bothers me more. :D

[badger]

Ok, so I turn around to continue contemplating whether Phil or Rick is worse, and somehow Fresno State gets the ball without Rutgers scoring any points.

OMG - a Rutgers fan wearing a Texas hat? SELLOUT. ;)

EDIT: game over, man! great run by fresno.

[badger]

HELP! Game 30 minutes away and I still haven't decided who to hate more!

Rick:

After Neuheisel left, Colorado lost five of 25 scholarships for one year, and was put on two years' probation for 53 rules violations, 51 when Neuheisel was the Colorado coach from 1995-98. "This was a serious case," the NCAA's infractions committee ruling said, "in which a football coaching staff, led by the former head football coach, in a calculated attempt to gain a recruiting advantage, pushed beyond the permissible bounds of legislation, resulting in a pattern of recruiting violations."[6]

It was during his time at Colorado that he first began to be known as "Slick Rick" by his detractors, as it reflected their belief that he possessed a disingenuous personality.

For Phil:
http://3rdsaturdayinblogtober.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/fulmer.jpg

I asked NormanPride and he simply said "That's tough."

27 minutes...

[Leroy Lizard]

Good to see my Bulldogs put nature back on its proper course, helping send Rutgers back towards the cellar where it belongs.

[Mandibleclaw]

I'm really confuzzled, I don't know who to pull for tonite. :confused:

[birddog]

there were quite a few asshat vol fans that posted here pretty regularly. sec #1 blah blah blah.

the only ucla fan i remember couldn't stop talking about his porsche and his wheelbarrow full of cash.

take your pick.

[birddog]

having said that, i will never pull for an sec school.

[badger]

It is amazing how much comtemplating one can do in the shower... and here is what I come to realize:

UCLA must rise again.

We all know that USC as a whole is not above using any recruiting means necessary, rules disregarded, to win. The only coach that will go to even further lengths to disregard the rules to win via recruiting is Rick.

Tennessee will screw up on its own, because Phil can no longer successfully navigate the SEC like he did with a certain QB named Peyton.

That being said, I can neither cheer for Phil nor Rick, but will cheer for the earthquake as it rattles the Rose Bowl to scatter the Vols and Bruins alike away from football supremacy... and I will also root for utter embarrassment of both programs on national television that could only be matched by OSU (versus Troy last year on Friday night).

[tommieharris91]

Fulmer is wearing an orange hat with a big T on it. Neuheisel cheats a lot.

Fulmer wins, but it's close.

[okiewaker]

San Andreas Fault! Cant route for either. Hope both look crappy.

[StoopTroup]

Neither.

[badger]

Ok, so upon further review...

Tennessee must suck, so that recruits don't wanna leave Oklahoma to go there, regardless of how much money they and their families are offered.

UCLA must not suck, so that they can evenly recruit and out-cheat USC to oblivion.

...but then again, has Tennessee sucking ever stopped recruits from going there before?

:mad: Looks like I'm still rooting for the earthquake.

[royalfan5]

As I have a wide variety of cousins with UCLA degrees, I hope the Bruins win.

[NASASooner]

The SEC is quickly becoming the new Notre Dame for me. That is, I always root for the other team to win. If it's 2 SEC teams, I root for a meteor to hit the stadium. Too much media hype about them being driven down our throats.

[GottaHavePride]

[Rogue]

I'm for the VOLS tonight. And I never underestimate Norm Chow.

[Rogue]

This 3rd string Bruin QB looks pretty sharp.

[StormySooner-IN]

I guess Ill root for UCLA......not really.

I dont want to pull for an SEC team....and UCLA is as far away from me as can be....so whatever.

[badger]

Me: Are you quite finished?

Badger: I'm just getting started!

http://keitholbermannisevil.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/wallace-shawn-vizzini.jpg

GHP: I tricked you.

Me: No, you didn't! I switched the glasses!

Oh, and the game is awesome and on ESPN so if you are tuned into something else, change the channel, man.

If you mod types are reading and ever decide to immortalize Brent Venables with a smiley, I have found your ideal picture:

[colleyvillesooner]

these 2 QB's kinda suck...

[Rogue]

Looks like I'm coming home early from work tomorrow. The OU/Chatt game is on from 4-5 on one of my extra foxsports channels. I feel a case of something coming on.

[Sooner Eclipse]

Fulmer is an idiot for not punting with 1:19 left in the half.

[NASASooner]

I'm with Colleyville, these QB's aren't very good. But UCLA is getting a bit more pressure on the Tennessee QB than I would have expected.

[Sooner Eclipse]

these 2 QB's kinda suck...

That's being kind, especially for the Ucla guy.

[colleyvillesooner]

these 2 QB's kinda suck...

hard.

UCLA QB is 7-17 for 66 yards and 4 picks, one of which was just a pick six.

And they're only down 14-7.

UCLA will not score an offensive TD this game unless it is just gifted one...

[jkjsooner]

I'm with Colleyville, these QB's aren't very good. But UCLA is getting a bit more pressure on the Tennessee QB than I would have expected.

This QB for UCLA is horrible. The Tenn. QB looks like they brought back Peyton Manning compared to this guy.

Man, I just don't think UCLA has anywhere to go...

[mdklatt]

Neuheisel ****s all over a program and moves on to a better gig. Fulmer will probably end up going down with the ship. Fulmer > Neuheisel

However, it would be nice to have somebody that could challenge USC year in and out in the Pac-10.

[SoonerDood]

Rutgers has Cinderella'd out.

I vote "NO" on Rocky Top's orange pants. yeesh.

Fat Phil vs. Tricky Rick. I side with NP.

[badger]

NP and I were giggling (well, I was giggling, he was just laughing) at Rick yelling at QB #3 after pick No. 3. We kept replaying it via DVR over and over. Rick's like "YOU DON'T HAVE TO THROW! THAT'S NUMBER THREE! ...STOP IT!" It was hilarious.

Considering UCLA is only down 14-7 after four picks, I think the earthquake is winning :D

[colleyvillesooner]

If you've never seen Tennessee play live, count your blessings...

In 2014 you'll be able to soak in the supa annoying fight song that is "Rocky Top" in person at Owen Field.

And our opponents say Boomer Sooner is bad...

[colleyvillesooner]

Mike Patrick looks drunk...

[Leroy Lizard]

I want Tennessee to win by such a huge margin that Neheisel breaks down crying after the game. Real big tears, with cries for sympathy. None given.

[colleyvillesooner]

Hi. We're Tennessee. You know us as the team that is doing it's best to let a horrible UCLA football team back in this game.

[bluedogok]

Well, UCLA is paying a third string QB after the other two were injured in practice.....they also have a Bosworth (nephew) and are NOT USC...therefore UCLA > UTn

[Mandibleclaw]

I lost interest and had to turn on wrestling.

[Leroy Lizard]

I wonder what Bosworth's family reunion is like:

"So, you play for that sissy team that hit like girls?"

[Leroy Lizard]

The record for INTs in a game is 9. Anyone know who?

[colleyvillesooner]

Double Bosworth brother sack!!!

[John Kochtoston]

Dear Mr. Fulmer,

Your placekicker cannot hit a 50+ yard FG. Quit trying them.

Sincerely,
Those of us who know our limitations.

[colleyvillesooner]

God, I'd love to see UCLA drive and score here...

[colleyvillesooner]

Yes! UCLA QB has more yards this drive than the first half....

TD UCLA!!!! I stand corrected.

UCLA 17
Tenn 14
6:51 4th Q

Good on the QB. 4 picks in the first half, and he drives his team down the field for the go ahead score.

[JLEW1818]

COULD UCLA BE FOR REAL THIS YEAR, BEAT USC ?

[OSUAggie]

"S-E-C, S-E-C"

[Rogue]

God, I'd love to see UCLA drive and score here...

Now that you see Neuweisel celebrating...
It feels icky, doesn't it?

[Rogue]

Norm Chow scares me.

[JLEW1818]

Norm Chow scares me.

Norm Chow and Saben are the only 2 that scare me.

[tommieharris91]

COULD UCLA BE FOR REAL THIS YEAR, BEAT USC ?

If they play like this they will lose by 5 TDs to SUC.

[colleyvillesooner]

COULD UCLA BE FOR REAL THIS YEAR, BEAT USC ?

No.

[Curly Bill]

Now that you see Neuweisel celebrating...
It feels icky, doesn't it?

Not as much as it would to see Phil's fat arse celebrating. :P

[colleyvillesooner]

Now that you see Neuweisel celebrating...
It feels icky, doesn't it?

Not at all knowing Fulmer is on the other sideline sweating...

[Rogue]

Phil's *** is feelin' the heat this year. He's thrown every coordinator and assistant coach under the bus in recent years. He's literally the last man standing.

[colleyvillesooner]

heh

[colleyvillesooner]

Pre Meltdown...

http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=7&f=1372

[John Kochtoston]

Phil may get fired Tuesday with a loss here. I think the Vols aren't gonna be really happy with another season that is over in September.

[Breadburner]

http://www.volnation.com/forum/


heh


After reading that I hope they lose.....

[colleyvillesooner]

After reading that I hope they lose.....

I posted the link cause when I clicked on it it said "server too busy" :D

[tommieharris91]

I dunno, they way they're driving...

[colleyvillesooner]

Yeah, I fully expect this game to end of the UCLA QB's 5th pick...

Well there's the first part of the equation...TD Tenn.

[Rogue]

Heckuva run there by Hardesty.

[Rogue]

Yeah, I'm a bit of a homer here, but I like "Rocky Top!"

[OSUAggie]

I'm going with a fumble to end it.

[JLEW1818]

TD pass right here

[Rogue]

viz9DoDF46U

[StormySooner-IN]

good game....gettin better

[Rogue]

Heckuva game they put on tonight.

[Rogue]

Woof!
UCLA cheer girls.

[colleyvillesooner]

Good call by the announcer...lineman downfield goes uncalled...close, but passed the line of scrimmage

[Rogue]

Yup, that wasn't a screen, it was illegal as hell.
PAC 10 Officials I'm guessing?

[batonrougesooner]

Games like these is why I love college football.

[tommieharris91]

Mmmmm...... UCLA cheerleaders.... gahhhhhhhhhhhhh...........

[colleyvillesooner]

Yup, that wasn't a screen, it was illegal as hell.
PAC 10 Officials I'm guessing?

you know it!

[John Kochtoston]

Yup, that wasn't a screen, it was illegal as hell.
PAC 10 Officials I'm guessing?

Replay seems to show it was pretty close.

[Rogue]

That was almost 6.

[StormySooner-IN]

biggest turn around in a game for a QB?? heh

[Ardmore_Sooner]

What a game!

[colleyvillesooner]

TD UCLA!!!!!!!!

SUCK IT FULMER!!!!!

SUCK IT SEC!!!

[Rogue]

Replay seems to show it was pretty close.

One guy was "close" the other was about 5 yards downfield.

[StormySooner-IN]

TD UCLA!!!

[Rhino]

awesome.

[Curly Bill]

:D

[Rogue]

Tennessee's offense is NOT built to score quickly.

[John Kochtoston]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/God_Optimus_Prime/WWE/Ric%20Flair/Ric_Flair_02.jpg

Approves of this outcome (well, at least with :31 left).

[Rogue]

Who's more of an evil genius of offense...Norm Chow or Mike Leach?

[John Kochtoston]

One guy was "close" the other was about 5 yards downfield.

The guy who caught it, which is what matters, was with in one step of the LOS when he did.

[Curly Bill]

Who's more of an evil genius of offense...Norm Chow or Mike Leach?

evil genius = Chow

demented genius = Leach

[colleyvillesooner]

Illegal man down field will be the cry of Tenn/SEC if they lose. PAC 10 officials in trouble again...best of both worlds. :D

[NASASooner]

Don't like the short kick off.

ESecPN is going to have to back peddle if UCLA wins.

[Rogue]

I'm not seeing this going to OT.

[John Kochtoston]

I'm not seeing this going to OT.

With UT's kicker, I'll buy that for $1.

[Lott's Bandana]

Anyone rooting for OT?

[colleyvillesooner]

getting closer....

[colleyvillesooner]

47 yarder to tie...I say he nails it...

[Curly Bill]

Quick...some bad mojo!

[Rogue]

Entertaining 2nd half for sure.

[olevetonahill]

Dayum good game here at the end

[Rogue]

47 yarder to tie...I say he nails it...

I'll take that bet. vCheeseburger?

[tommieharris91]

Anyone rooting for OT?

Me!!!

[Sooner98]

The squib kick when you're up by 3 points is probably the dumbest college football move ever invented. If our coaches ever decide to do this, I will call for their firing.

[Sooner Eclipse]

I'm not seeing this going to OT.

I am

[Curly Bill]

Damn it!

[Rogue]

Damn, OT.
And I'm down one vBurger.

[colleyvillesooner]

I win. :mad:

[olevetonahill]

Brand new Ball game
Dayum

[JLEW1818]

OVERTIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NASASooner]

That short kick off WAS a bad idea.

[John Kochtoston]

Redemption for UCLA's QB and Tenn's FG kicker. I stand corrected.

[Curly Bill]

The squib kick when you're up by 3 points is probably the dumbest college football move ever invented.

It's right up there.

[OSUAggie]

Phil got an inch or two between his foot and the earth when that one went in.

[JLEW1818]

VET I WANT 5 BREWS DOWN BY THE END OF OT

[Sooner98]

Seriously, there is probably about a one percent chance that they actually get a long kickoff return, why not just kick it deep, and bury them? Sheesh.

[Curly Bill]

Seriously, there is probably about a one percent chance that they actually get a long kickoff return, why not just kick it deep, and bury them? Sheesh.

Typical coach thing where they outsmart themselves.

[colleyvillesooner]

I loathe the short kickoff...

[Lott's Bandana]

This game didn't deserve that ghey coin toss! WTF??!

[olevetonahill]

VET I WANT 5 BREWS DOWN BY THE END OF OT

Im thinking of a big ole glass of OVW :D

[Rogue]

I hate Eastern Time Zone.

[Rogue]

I thought the winner of the toss go to pick EITHER offense/defense OR the end of the field?

[Rogue]

27-24
:les: Go VOLS!

[r5TPsooner]

UCLA refuses to win.

[colleyvillesooner]

UCLA gets a FG

UCLA 27
Tenn 24

[olevetonahill]

I thought the winner of the toss go to pick EITHER offense/defense OR the end of the field?

Tenn picked D UCLA picked the end
Now UCLA went to **** .

[Rogue]

Facemask

[Lott's Bandana]

Nothing, zip, zero, three points. Sumthin wrong with that.

[Rogue]

Tenn picked D UCLA picked the end
Now UCLA went to **** .

Yeah, but the Ref explained that the winner picked O/D and the loser picked end of the field before the flip. Normally, I'd assume I'm wrong, but this was a PAC 10 Ref.

3d and 7.
Shotgun.
All kinds of time. Runs for 5.

[colleyvillesooner]

He hooked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[Rogue]

Kick is up....it's no good. UCLA wins.
G'night y'all.

[tommieharris91]

Tenn's kicker sux.

[r5TPsooner]

Fulmer is done.

[Curly Bill]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL


....and now sleepy time. :)

[Lott's Bandana]

I hate Eastern Time Zone.

Specially trying to watch NFL Sunday and Monday night footballs....ZZZZZ.

[Rogue]

Fulmer is done.

Yup.

[olevetonahill]

I had a feeler Teen would Blow that kick

[Sooner Eclipse]

Ouch, phat fill goes out a loser.

[John Kochtoston]

Redemption for UCLA's QB and (temporarily) Tenn's FG kicker. I stand corrected.

Fixed my own mistake.

[r5TPsooner]

Krispy Kremes foe everyone.

[Lott's Bandana]

Mantra?...this guy is a such a poof.

[colleyvillesooner]

Fan of teeth gnashing?

[olevetonahill]

They gonna run the Fat boy off ?

[NASASooner]

An upper echelon SEC team beat by middle of the road PAC-10 team? This will be quickly forgotten and hidden under the the ESecPN rug.

[Lott's Bandana]

You know ESPN has a HUGE woody right now. Two teams to over-hype in the LA market!!! Nausea alert.

[BoulderSooner79]

Way to go Bruins! I adopted them as my "other" team as soon as Rick was hired and this was a great start. Not that I care about UCLA, but I just want *some* team to compete with you-know-who out in the PAC10. As much with recruiting as on the field. I can't wait for that first commitment footage of some 5 star kid pickup up the UCLA hat instead of the Trojan hat (only if OU is not in the mix, of course). I just hope Rick doesn't get them on huge probation deal.

[KingDavid]

What a nice little evening toddy: Fulmer and his goons getting beaten by a weak-*** Pac-10 squad.

Note that the Bruins virtual high school quarterback BLISTERED the Vols secondardy on 20-25 passing and +/-200 yards in the second half with 1 TD and no interceptions.

[KingDavid]

The AP reports that Gerald Jones has left Tennessee and is trying to transfer to Oklahoma. Will try to walk on next year at OU. ;)

[12]

I agree, Boulder. Having another competitive team out there can be nothing but positive for us.

That said, what are the odds Rick is on his phone to Vegas getting lines on women's gymnastics right now?

[tommieharris91]

Neuheisel probably bet against UCLA tonight and used it as a team motivator.

[ouwasp]

That was a fun game to watch.... that is, after I lost interest, took a shower, turned on the TV to watch the weather. When the sports came on they mentioned the close game so I switched over....

I was pulling for UCLA to win; if those powder-blue sissys can beat an SEC power, good deal.

Im rootin fer the Cats to BE that team **** any of the others out there

[Lott's Bandana]

From Volsnation:

We should totally start playing cupcakes out of conference so we can live under the illusion that we are a good team.

Pure insight...something very OP about this statement.

[tommieharris91]

From Volsnation:


Pure insight...something very OP about this statement.

But we play bad teams all the time. :confused:





;)

[KingDavid]

The USC Public Relations team is already working over-time to dig up more dirt on Neuheisel and release it strategically around major recruiting visits.

May the Bruins grow just strong and mighty enough to significantly weaken the death-grip the Trojans have on West Coast recruiting!

[badger]

The AP reports that Gerald Jones has left Tennessee and is trying to transfer to Oklahoma. Will try to walk on next year at OU. ;)

Did we heavily recruit this guy, or was he fulmered from the start?

[TheHumanAlphabet]

That name sounds familar. Isn' t he from Tulsa or something???

Have to asked, was Tenn fulmered or were the Pac-10 reffed?

[badger]

That name sounds familar. Isn' t he from Tulsa or something???

Have to asked, was Tenn fulmered or were the Pac-10 reffed?

He's from OKC. Or at least that was ESPN was saying over and over when they showed his name.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Now that you mentioned it, I wonder if he was from Midwest City.

[badger]

Now that you mentioned it, I wonder if he was from Midwest City.

Ja, they'd probably say that a dude from Jenks was from Tulsa, so that would make sense.

And now for... the moments of the game, brought to you by Old Spice and their funny commercials:

A$$hole Coach of the (Post)Game: Fulmer, for burying UCLA after they beat his arse. "We made enough mistakes tonight to fill three or four games... We will play better teams than UCLA is, and I know we're a better team than we were tonight."

A$$hole Coach of the Game(Itself): Neuheisel, who was seen on national television yelling the shizzle out of QB McInterception after pick No. 3. "You don't have to throw it! That's No. 3! STOP IT!"

Bonehead Play of the Game, Second Half: Tennessee Offense, whose new wristbands mentioned by ESPN surely shouldn't have called for the QB to backpedal into the RB.

Walking Home Award: The Tennessee kicker - Lincoln I think his name is. While Phil said the OT kick miss from under 40 yards didn't put the loss on Lincoln, he had two misses (and another that was called back for a retry) during the game itself.

Sideline 15 Minutes of Fame: The security guard, who after Lincoln's OT wide left, got the first hug from Neuheisel on the UCLA sideline. Dude lost his hat.

[StormySooner-IN]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Frickin Orange teams!

+1 :D
