What's going on with the football game?

[shraby]

We have it on cable and the picture is frozen.

[anigbrowl]

1. The entire stadium was hit by a freeze ray

Or then again, maybe there's something wrong with the TV transmission.

[mmonk]

2. .

:rofl:

[RB TexLa]

3. I'm sure the Stouper is already whinning about something.

[ellenfl]

71. this is a little homecoming for stoops . . . he was defensive

coordinator for florida under spurrier back in the 90s. i bet the sooners are liking the weather!

4. Cable? It's on FOX here, and, I assumed, everywhere.

In any case, OK offense got mostly stuffed on their first possession, and FL seems to be having a little bit better luck wiith theirs - so far at least. Quick little devils, those FL players seem to be.

[ellenfl]

5. GO GATORS!!! eom

[BlooInBloo]

7. Whoopsy. And their first drive was going so well.

[A HERETIC I AM]

6. Isn't that special? The Gators QB has "3:16" on the black under his eyes.

Because, of course, if anyone accepts Jesus as their savior because they saw that, the Gators win.

Right?


Silly

[ellenfl]

69. tim tebow (fla's qb) happens to be a very religious guy who

does missionary work with his family. that is why he has 3:16 on his face. a little less snark, please. the guy is for real.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. OU just intercepted. 1st turnover.

[11 Bravo]

9. Tebow just got picked at the OU 45.

[XOKCowboy]

10. The Lord must have stepped out for a beer...

After all Tebow is almost angelic, right?

[spanone]

11. zip zip 7:09 left in 1st qtr

[BlooInBloo]

12. Wow - OK came to PLAY!

Whoops - holding is such a killer penalty.

[bigwillq]

13. No score

still in first quarter.

OU forced a turnover.

[XOKCowboy]

14. I almost threw up.... The fawning over Tebow is sickening

I hope he ends up on his ass most of this game.

[TahitiNut]

15. The Red Wings are wiping their feet (skates) on the Stars.

:bounce:

(I like to see Texas - and Oklahoma - teams lose.)

:evilgrin:

[BlooInBloo]

16. First blood drawn by FL. Tebow kept his composure nicely.

[BlooInBloo]

18. And they're both blooded. Let the trench warfare - or fireworks - now begin.

[bigtree]

17. we should shut this board down so folks can watch this

[XOKCowboy]

19. I think Tebow just said a curse word....

I'm sure it was Shucks. Or Gosh Darn It.

:)

[BlooInBloo]

20. Helluva goalline stand by FL - after getting pwned by OK o-line all the way down the field.

[XOKCowboy]

21. Heckuva game so far. I should have taken the under

[BlooInBloo]

22. It's fun, but both sides are making a lot of bad mistakes.

[EastTennesseeDem]

23. I'm a Sooner fan tonight, but could someone clarify

why you have to have your hand inside the pads for it to be a horse collar?

[XOKCowboy]

25. I didn't understand that either...

Not the best announcers....

[EastTennesseeDem]

26. Oh, they suck

FOX in general sucks when it comes to their overproduced crap for sporting events. I swear, that pre-game thing with the kid's speech recital and the Tebow "no one will work harder" presser nearly made me vomit. I truly wish CBS would get their shot at airing these things.

[BlooInBloo]

28. The "two 4th downs" thing was classic.

[XOKCowboy]

31. You've gotta be kidding me....

Helluva game. A defensive game. Who'da thunk it?

[BlooInBloo]

27. Is "because that's the rule" good enough for you?

If not, I got nuthin for ya. :)

[EastTennesseeDem]

29. I understand that, but

the reason the rule is in place is to prevent the very thing that happened.

[BlooInBloo]

33. Had to draw the line somewhere is the best I can offer you...

It's not synchronized swimming, after all.

[EastTennesseeDem]

34. I think the line should be the back of the neck of the jersey

regardless of whether or not it's in the pads.

[Jack from Charlotte]

70. Faux Sports announcers were wrong......

You do not have to have hands inside the collar for this to be called. I'll print you the exact rule from The NCAA later.

[spanone]

24. 7 - 7 tied w/2:45 in 2nd qtr

[BlooInBloo]

30. Crikeys - all of these mistakes are bound to bite ONE of them in the butt sooner or later...

Wonder which one it'll be.

[XOKCowboy]

35. This second half should be something....

I can't believe that last play. Bradford's been threading them in there all night.

[BlooInBloo]

36. The suspense! Will FL's D eventually crack? Will Tebow stop throwing INT's?

Stay tuned!

From what I've seen, my money's on OK's offensive line at this point.

[XOKCowboy]

38. Losing that WR didn't help either

I wish they'd show that play again. I missed the horse collar. Had to "step out" for a second.

[bmbmd]

32. Oceans

of suck. Almost unwatchable through a lackluster first half.

[XOKCowboy]

37. The Southwest Airline HalfTime Show??

:puke:

Fox and Southwest Airlines. Perfect pair.

[BlooInBloo]

39. lol - I went straight to espn. Holtz and the other guy are hilarious.

[EastTennesseeDem]

40. I love Lou, but he really isn't cut out for this whole commentating thing

That being said, his little ongoing tiff with Mark May is pretty amusing.

May: "I think we'll see more offense in the second half."
Lou: "I disagree with you Mark. OU had nine months to get ready before the first game and they didn't allow a score on defense."
May: "They played CHATTANOOGA!"

[BlooInBloo]

41. That was hilarious!

Of course, I'm ok with Woody Paige too, while almost no-one else is. So to each their own, I guess.

[givemebackmycountry]

44. Me too...

He makes me laugh and that's enough for me.
Of course, I'm a Broncos fan so I've read him for decades.

[BlooInBloo]

45. Yah - he's kooky and funny, and every now and again dials up a genuine insight...

That you would never get from a "normal" sports person.

But mostly he's kooky and funny.

[BlooInBloo]

42. Tebow single-handedly keeping them in the game. We'll see if it lasts...

OK isn't a bunch of chumps, after all.

[EastTennesseeDem]

43. Yeck

:puke: :puke:

[BlooInBloo]

46. Man - every time you think one side has the advantage, the other team steps up!

Yah, there's a lotta mistakes, but neither side is backing down after getting punched in the mouf!

[XOKCowboy]

48. IMO It looks like a true championship game

Both sides showing signs of greatness on both sides of the ball.

[BlooInBloo]

50. Yup - starting to look to me like FL made better halftime adjustments, tho.

[thewiseguy]

47. Go Oklahoma!

:woohoo:

[EastTennesseeDem]

49. If Florida loses

they damn well better not use Harvin's ankle as an excuse.

[EastTennesseeDem]

51. And like clockwork

Harvin goes down.

[rep the dems]

56. The Oklahoma player who brought him down can go fuck himself.

Disgusting move.

[thewiseguy]

52. That was a big stop for OU

Now they need to go down the field and score a TD! (Like always)

[BlooInBloo]

53. Yup - and that sounded NOTHING like a real whistle.

[thewiseguy]

54. He knows better than that

[BlooInBloo]

55. That might be a back-breaker.

[thewiseguy]

57. LOL

Ok professor

[BlooInBloo]

58. (shrug) OK defense has been on the field too long.

[BlooInBloo]

59. And that's game. Excellent coaching job by FL. Centering on the option for the 2nd half...

Exploited the OK defensive weakness AND kept OK offense off the field.

[EastTennesseeDem]

60. Game. Set. Match.

[BlooInBloo]

63. People can hate Tebow as much as they want, but he played his ass off.

[XOKCowboy]

64. I don't hate him...

I just don't like the syrupy platitudes by the networks. He's a great QB (Bradford will go higher in the draft) but he doesn't walk on water.

Yes he did play his butt off and he and Harvin won it for them. Their defense isn't so bad either.

[Jack from Charlotte]

72. Passed 6 for 6 in the gaming winning drive......

Just like vs Bammer. He took the game over in the 4th quarter and was flawless down the stretch. The Florida offense in the SEC champ Game vs Bammer out gained them 144 yards to 1 in that game. this is similar.... with the game on the line, up by three points, with 10 minutes left in the game, Tebow goes 6 for 6 passing and runs for several 3rd down pick ups, burns 7 minutes off the clock and wins the game.

I always thought Herschel Walker was the best college football payer of all time (not having seen Red Grange) but Tebow may just be better.

[BlooInBloo]

73. Well let's not get crazy here. Herschel is still the best. lol!

[thewiseguy]

61. This sucks.

[XOKCowboy]

62. Damn good game. Congrats Gators

It didn't go the way I wanted but was darn entertaining.

[XOKCowboy]

65. I really should have taken the under!

I think the O/U was 64. The spread was about 5 so FL covered. Glad I didn't bet. :)

[BlooInBloo]

66. lol!

[Awsi Dooger]

68. Much higher than that

It was as high as 70 or 71 although I didn't pay attention today. It might have moved. Normally the sharp guys play under on a huge total in a championship game.

[bevoette]

67. okie folded, big shock (nt)

:evilgrin:
