Ok St has to jump Bama after this craziness
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:27 PM ^
The big question for me now, is not whether we'll play in a bcs bowl, It's who the hell are we going to play?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:27 PM ^
When did Keyshaun get on the same level as Cher, Madonna, Prince.....?
<br>I always thought he had a last name Martin. Apparently not, at least based on Gus Johnson's commentating.

could we get Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl?
Replacement Selections (occur first)
Sugar - Bama (replaces SEC champ and #1 LSU)
Fiesta - Stanford/Michigan (replaces Big 12 champ and #2 Ok State)
At Large Selections (2012 order: Fiesta, Sugar, Orange)
Fiesta - Stanford/Michigan
Sugar - TCU
Orange - West Virginia
*Rose would be Oregon vs. Wisconsin/MSU and ACC champ (Clemson would go to the Orange.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:31 PM ^
Haha Worthy called for offsides.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
took long enough. One play later commentators are all gushing over sparty, though.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:31 PM ^
Worthy has been jumping offsides all night.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:32 PM ^
LolWorthy. He's pretty much useless if he doesn't jump the snap. He's a beast at jumping the snap, but that's his whole game.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
You are correct. You never see him do much without being in the backfield before anyone else can react. Gotta give him credit for being pretty damn quick for a 300+ pounder though. Worthy makes a living out of jumping the snap count. I'm not really sure how he is so good at it. Maybe he watches alot of film?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:32 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:32 PM ^
scratch marks on the helmet. think players intentionally do this before games? i dont think theres anything sharp enough of helmets or jerseys to do that type of damage during gameplay, but i could be wrong.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Our guys do it too. Some teams elect not to re-touch their helmets at the end of the week before the game. Michigan's equipment staff and a few volunteers touched up ours on Friday night into Saturday morning, but I don't think they did this year, at least not for certain players.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:37 PM ^
other helmets
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
Are you saying Mike Martin's helmet is a fraud?????
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
unfortuantely, yes.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
Wisconsin is worthless.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
Okay maybe not.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:35 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
That. Just. Happened.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
Worthy got a sack on Wilson, but was offsides because he jumped the snap too early, then on the next play Wilson found a man standing in the end zone wide open.
I'd say at this point it's a better game than the ACC Championship,
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:41 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
Both very valid points.
But it's all worth it when you see Keyshawn Martin get hit so hard that his helmet and du-rag fly off.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
Wilson is amzing, cannon for an arm
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:34 PM ^
this game is kind of exciting
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:35 PM ^
Dude is annoying and tries too hard.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:35 PM ^
Will he at some point give us the more negative version of the saying?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
What the hell does "making chicken salad out of that play" mean? The exquisite commentary after Wisky's TD.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
'making chicken salad out of that play' What the fuck does that mean? God these announcers suck endlessly
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Questionable offsides call is questionable.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
don't you go for two? if you get it, you're tied. if you don't get it, you're one score down. if you just go for pat, you're one score down. what's the benefit of just one point in that situation?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
It is too early to chase points. If it is Late in the game you go for it, but not now.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Did the announcer just say 'he made chicken salad out of that play'?
<br>
<br>If so...I can't handle this.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
41-3 OSU!
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
You deny ok state a title shot?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
Because they lost to Iowa State
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
Sure Osu lost to a crappy team, but Lsu already proved they can beat Bama at Bama.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
On Friday we were playing Houston. Now we are playing Alabama. I don't like this developement.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^
Would the bowls really set us up to play Alabama in back to back games?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
I doubt it. If Alabama doesn't go to the title game, and the Sugar takes them, they still get TCU because they still pick next-to-last later on. In other words Alabama would be our replacement, not TCU's replacement. In the unlikely event OkSt. goes to the title game, think Stanford in the Fiesta. (Assuming OU drops out of the top 14, which they bloody well ought to after this.)
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
The first pick the Sugar was going to use on us would be used to get Bama. Sugar would never have a chance at us again.
