It's Game Day!

by Richard Pittman on Oct 10, 2009 5:53 AM CDT in Football

It's #1 vs. #4, and the latest rumors, as collected by Team Speed kills, is that Tim Tebow is IN. We'll have to see. The rumors are that he's still affected by loud noise, and I'll refrain from making comments about the noise level in Tiger Stadium, but if he's still affected by loud noise then he is most certainly not "asymptomatic." But I'm just a lawyer in Alabama. What do I know?

We've also got the ESPN GameDay crew on hand, all for what is in many ways a glorified exhibition game that is not particularly important for either team's long term goals on the 2009 season. It is a rivalry game, however, and bragging rights are important.

GameDay is an insufferable entity. Their stories are formulaic pablum, a mix of soft-focus human interest stories and fawning pieces on successful coaches and players. It spends much its time with a handful of teams, some of whom like Notre Dame are not even particulary successful. It is good publicity for LSU, though, and ESPN is stil pretty much the 500 pound gorilla of college football. I'll probably be off doing something else between 9:00am and 11:00am today.

Meh. Game Thread at 5:00pm.

I think what they meant

Is that loud noise might affect him. They won’t know until the game starts. If he experienced anything at all like a “symptom,” he’d already be scratched.

I would not have guessed..

Arkansas beating Auburn and Tennessee beating Georgia. Looks like both of those things will happen.

I..

Thought the Hogs would win, but the Vols doubling up the Bulldogs? I would have never saw that.

With Chavis having two weeks to study what Arkansas did to shut down Malzahn’s offense, I feel a lot better about that game coming up. Plus nice to see everyone in the West except us and Bama with a conference loss as of this afternoon.

Now Geaux Tigers and Ole Miss!

CHAD JONES! WOOOO!!!!

I picked both of those.

Arky played Tulsa last year, they were ready for Malzahn and this was a must win.

UGA was due for a let down after their heart breaking loss

i think arky's DC was just reading Malzahn's mail

that is all there was to it.

Money pouring into Florida...

I’ve seen the Vegas go from -7.5 to -9.5 in the last 12 hours.

Perhaps people seeing our last win over Georgia in a different light now…

by TigerPaw on Oct 10, 2009 2:15 PM CDT reply actions

I can't blame them.. but I will still take that win any day..

Today is a different day, and it is a different Georgia team. It’s arguable that our win set up the Tennessee win.

Is the heat going to start up on Richt now? I think so.

That's a huge swing on gameday

Probably also people thinking they can get a quick deal with more Tebow news.

That offense was pa-pa-pathetic in the 1st half..

in other news, I think one of these two teams in this afternoon game is the #1 team in the country.
