There are some good games coming up this afternoon:
- Cincinnati and Pittsburgh just started--and Cincinnati's losing
- UNC and Kentucky at 12:30
- SEC title game: Florida and Alabama
- Big XII title game: Texas and Nebraska
- ACC title game: GaTech and Clemson
I figured we'd end up needing a thread to discuss these, so here you go.
Discuss.

John Wall for Heisman!
"We, as for me all seasons you are affected peculiarly in the edge of my seat and are happy concerning the fact that the Adam Dunn fan has been mixed up exactly." - Reynard-san
All of the NC papers are running stories about how
he wanted to go to UNC, but they stopped recruiting him. I’m sure the announcers will be repeating this throughout the game as well.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Holy shit, UK is the real deal I think

They're running away with it right now.
This isn’t pretty for UNC.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Good grief, Pitt is destroying Cincy.
The snow is definitely not helping.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
Matt Millen kinda sucks
He repeatedly incorrectly describes plays as we are watching the replays. How does that happen? Matt, the defender is NOT turning his head around for the ball!

Some of the facts on the field are in dispute.
Reasonable people can disagree.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I don't think you understood what I'm talking about
Are you just in a disagreeable mood? You sound like my wife.
Certain facts are indisputable. Like whether, on a slow motion replay, a defender turned his head around. And whether blue is green.

Who's #26 for the Bearcats?
He sucks.
by Brian B on Dec 5, 2009 1:29 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Not unexpected...
At the half, John Wall is the top scorer. He also has more assists (5) than the entire UNC team (4).
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
It should be a lot worse.
UC’s defense has put up 3 straight 3 and outs. We’re only two TDs out.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
UNC down by three...
and of course they go for a low-percentage three.
Back to five.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Pike looks terrible today.
Everything is underthrown. I mean everything. Even the short passes. I know the weather is bad, but holy christ, Tony.
Ugly game. And it's strating to look ugly for Pittsburgh too.
Bearcats need to start running the ball and sticking with it.
Between dropped passes and bad passes, they need to stop this.
Dare I say it, this is bad coaching. Pead needs the ball.
Yeah, that one looked like a pretty obvious case.
But then what was with the crappy call on the next play?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
they've come back to within 7
and just got an interception. they could do this.

ugh
both special teams units have looked bad. even if Cincy pulls this out, they are losing mucho style points in the polls.

Cincinnati has turned into a one dimensional team
PASS
There is an overriding misconception that Clutch is an overriding misconception.
Except they CAN run.
it’s clear that a lot of teams are one-dimensional. UC is not one of those teams, but Kelly is turning them into one.
Damn Sam I am...a loss means goodby to Brian Kelly.
There is an overriding misconception that Clutch is an overriding misconception.
Hey, maybe they can get one back.
But do they dare to run the ball?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Holy crap, they did!
And then they actually completed a pass!
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I hate football game threads.
At least with baseball there is time in between disappointments to relieve your frustration.
Hey, they had a nice kickoff return and scored a touchdown in there.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Well, they're listening...
but not having much luck with that.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Why are they in the shot gun?!?
Dumbasses! They’re on the goal line and giving up 4 yards on the snap!
They finally let him run around the side.
Weird sequence there.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
The color guy called it
the slot receiver wasn’t covered, and they passed right to him.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Tie game!
Man, they’re really lucky to be in this. Am I being overly critical? They just don’t look like a great team today.
wow, season on the line, and they let him get wide open
Lot of defense standing around watching the quarterback.
UC might want to think about letting Pittsburgh score on the next play.
I hate to say that, but they have to.
Interesting strategy...
But you are right that it’s better than letting them run down the clock and kick a field goal as time expires.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
It was a nervous day here at the chandrathan household
UNC day is the scariest time for me every year.
I wish I’d have seen that there was a game thread for it. kudos for putting it up.
Also, I would like to correct the myth that roy williams didn’t recruit/offer a scholarship to John Wall. Of course he did, and of course he wanted john wall. His problem was that one of his biggest enemies is the guy that was most influential in Wall’s recruitment. Brian Clifton (wall’s advisor and the “agent” that cost wall 2 games earlier this season) publically said early on in the recruitment that there was no way he would ever send a player to play for Roy Williams.
Now, this is a pretty important drive for UC. Go Bearcats!
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
Unless they get a great return...
in which case it’s plenty of time.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
they've got 2 timeouts and just need a field goal
33 seconds is an eternity
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I disagree with that some of the time.
People always say that, but too many times it comes down to the defense taking time away from your offense.
WWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
And that was the first long pass of the day that wasn’t underthrown.
EXTRA POINT!!!!!
Nice math by the color guy...
Somehow 33 – 28 = 11.
His point stands, but still.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
this would be a 97-yard field goal
is that in his range?
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
if it was one of those vortex footballs
john elway could make it from here
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
I resemble that remark!
There is an overriding misconception that Clutch is an overriding misconception.
Was the Pitt QB just injured on that play?
That would completely suck.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Yes it would. I was just saying that to my wife (who did not argue with me)
What a game. Whew.
I want a Pitt fan to bitch about that face mask call. Because it’s that’s called, Pitt still scores and might have given Cincinnati even more time.
12 - 0 can't do any better than that...
But will they move up in the standings?
BCS Bowl here we come…
There is an overriding misconception that Clutch is an overriding misconception.
im asking this in all seriousness, because i dont keep up with these things
but can cincy possibly jump TCU in the BCS standings?
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
i expect it to not matter
because texas is gonna win.
(also i think tcu will stay ahead of cincinnati because the voters will keep them ahead)
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I think the voters will
but the computer rankings will push UC in front of TCU.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Big game start in ten or so minutes
I’ll take Florida to win this one
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
Damn there's name I wish i'd conjured up.
There is an overriding misconception that Clutch is an overriding misconception.
just looked at the bowl schedule, and i missed something very important
there are now 10 bcs teams? It looks like there is a game called the “citi national title game” that is played in addition to the rose, sugar, orange, and fiesta bowls.
I thought one of those four always was the national title game. When did that change?
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
Loser of the Citi game has to pay the government a shit ton of $$

Is there still the US Armed Forces Bowl?
I suppose the loser of that plays the Haqqani Network in the Kabul Bowl?

I think they added one in 2007.
They have the additional game at the site of one of the four, with it rotating among the four.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I think Bama wins, just a feeling
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
i never have any luck with google when i'm looking for lines for games
i get too frustrated trying to navigate through all the advertisements and gambling pay sites
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
John Wall is unstoppable
Unless he cramps up………
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
He barely sees the court now
same with Jorts
Ramon Harris is a beast on D though
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
jorts saw the court long enough to get made to look silly by tyler zeller
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
Zeller took it to Orton a couple of times too
But Orton was throwing everyone else’s shit out of there all day
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
orton played him well
zeller shoulda been doubled when he scored on orton.
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
orton's block and subsequent feed to patterson was the biggest play of the game
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
well, before cal came, he was the guy we couldnt wait to see
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
yep
but still that was a lot of hope. we thought liggins was going to be really good too.
orton coming off the knee injury has been impressive
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
i agree
he’ll be a beast next year when the front court clears out for him.
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
You have to enjoy the time you have left with Jorts
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
Orton is a beast
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
He had two of the best plays back to back today that I've ever seen
Dude is unreal
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
Is it that time of the month ?

and Dunlap'd
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.

he would have had a better series if his wide open receiver hadn't dropped that pass though
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
So I was talking baseball stats with Ph.D students last nigth
people who should be wise and intelligent people.
I made the comment that Derek Jeter is a bad defensive shortstop. They had the most ludicrous arguments.
If he is so bad why does he win gold gloves?
If he is such a bad defensive shortstop why does he still leadoff for the Yankees?
If he is a bad defensive shortstop why did the Yankee’s win a World Series?
If he is a bad defensive shortstop why does Giradi play him there, because obviously Giradi being a manager means he is in fallable to mistakes and bad judgement.
My favorite.
Even if you are right and Jeter is a bad defensive shortstop, him playing shortstop makes everybody around him better. If the Yankee’s move Jeter from the shortstop position (even to 1B or DH) other players will become disheartened and not perform as well.
The last argument they used because they played high school sports so they understand the psychology of the situation. Where me and my numbers just can’t dive into a players head, and see how Jeter playing at shortstop makes everybody else play better.
"There is no harder thing than to have Glenn Beck outlive your child."-The Onion
Fight the good fight
Just remember that Jeter has been about average the last two years, by UZR (last year he was actually a bit above average).
by ken on Dec 5, 2009 4:39 PM EST up reply actions
they hate UZR
they say that he doesn’t make many errors so he is good. They totally disregard range and have anecdotal evidence of “well I saw him make a play deep in the hole and a long throw to make an out, so you see my eyes mean more than your numbers, fuckin numbers.”
Furthermore people like me ruin the game, because I only care about numbers and I don’t actually watch the game.
Also stats don’ t mean anything because players defy the odds, so since they can’t predict the outcome 100% of the time they are worthless.
They actually told me stats are worthless, gut hunches are far more important.

you don't understand their arguments because you just are not clutch, Justin
There is an overriding misconception that Clutch is an overriding misconception.
i need clutch understanding i guess

im surprised by how efficient alabama's offense looks
these are two of the best drives they’ve had all year, considering the defense theyre up against
Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...
They couldn't come up with a better name than ActionCam, eh?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
So, this Duke University. Their team colors are blue and white, no? Wonderful color coordination. Uniforms are blue, all their players are white.

not related
but I haven’t seen a shot of the fans yet in the SEC game where there are any minority fans
Also, the CBS announcers are really confused by some of the rules of football

And nice job by the color guy of getting his name wrong, right after the PBP guy referred to him correctly.

So, at halftime of the Big XII championship
A girl from Cincinnati was playing against another girl in a contest to throw footballs in a giant can of Dr. Pepper. Dana Jacobsen said, “Let’s see which girl can get more in the can.”

it was two girls in the Alabama-Florida game too
I was wondering if it was a contest for girls only, but apparently not.

It was a girl and a guy in the Alabama-Florida game...
The guy was a Florida fan and lost, 9-8.

It starred the refs and crappy football. Fucking replay saved Colt McCoy’s jackassery. In 100 years of football, that game was over. But the fucking Russians get another chance like it’s ’72 Munich.
