Around SBN: Newcastle Battle Injury Woes Ahead of Tottenham

PREGAME OPEN THREAD 9/4/10


18 HOURS!!!!!

 

Today's plans in a minute, but first the News

LBs Quan Sturdivant and Bruce Carter have been cleared to play, reducing the hold-out number to 13. Marvin Austin has been subpoenaed by the state of NC because they intend to prosecute based on their law against illegal agent activity. How do you feel about that Butch?

That's what I thought.

Meanwhile, a Georgia radio host reports that LSU has offered a scholly to former Georgia QB Zach Mettnberger who is currently toiling away in 1-AA. "Former" is putting it lightly, he was dismissed after pleading guilty to two counts of sexual battery. His sentence was light probation which hilariously included being "banished from the city of Valdosta, GA." I don't know how kosher it is to make a sexual battery joke, but if we don't do it first, I'm sure the Rebs won't hesitate, plus I've been looking for a reason to post this video all week.

Star-divide

 

 

 

Here's the plan for today. This is the pregame thread for discussion of the morning and early evening action. If you are looking for something to watch, SB Nation has a run down of the national highlights, and TSK has your SEC slate.

The Gamethread will show up about an hour before kickoff, and most of the ATVS crew will be checking in as we are all going to be home for this one. There will also be an immediate postgame open thread, followed by analysis from all of us.

Remember that this website supports commenting from most modern phones, so if you are in ATL, be sure to chime in.

Zach Mettenberger found El Dorado

it’s in Kansas apparently, so you can run and tell that, run and tell that, run and tell that

Reading up on Mettenberger

looks like the charges were for him getting a little “handsy” at a party. less serious than i thought.

It was Shaq-sized. Three beer can rests on each arm.

Just a simple question...

After tailgating for a while, how do you get in that thing.. Getting out is simple…just turn loose.

by lawildbull on Sep 4, 2010 12:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ok

I was kind of enjoying the Urban Meyer piece and then he tries to spin the bullshit that he “walked away from football completely” one month before they hauled in an all-time-great recruiting class?

Bull. Fucking. Shit. Just tell the story. We get it, he had health issues, and I can’t blame him his job is stressful as shit. But there’s no need to blow smoke up my ass in the process.

Rough start for the Gators

Mike Pouncey struggling on the snap, and the short passing game’s not working. Brantley threw a great deep ball that got broken up though.

Spell check may suck

But naomi is “I moan” backwards!

Wow

Florida only has 13 yards at half against Miami (OH). But are up 21-6.

Can I Ask A Stupid Question

Can I Ask A Stupid Question

I am assuming NC #18 ranking doesn’t take into account they are missing like a quarter of their starters. So guessing we caught something of a break.

48 oz down, feel pretty damn good right now,

but have to drink some diet coke now to pace myself. Also, triple pepperoni pizza rolls work well to soak up some alcohol. Games are going according to form.

Heck Next To LSU The Only Team I Care About Is IL

and they look like they might have a team that will at least be competitive this year. Which in recent years is something of a new concept.

by tommyguniii on Sep 4, 2010 1:08 PM CDT reply actions  

Fla’s center has to be the worst I’ve ever seen. It’s been like 6 bad shotgun snaps and only the third quarter. It’s embarrassing.

Reporting from A-town

From what I can tell we outnumber UNC fans 5-1.

They r a classy crowd so far.

I watched gameday from the hotel room and heard that

I couldn’t believe it. We out number between 3-1 and 6-1 depending where u are

by LSU Jonno on Sep 4, 2010 1:24 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

When I Was At LSU (The Shaq Days)

we played UNC in basketball each year at the Super Dome and their fans were really cool and/or classy. We both wanted to win (and they won every year — damn you Danny Ferry) but I think we wanted to have “fun” a little more :).

by tommyguniii on Sep 4, 2010 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well You Just Got Me To Switch Over From IL vs. MO

In the four plays I’ve seen Florida has given up a first down via pass. An eight yard gain. Two 15 yard penalties.

1st and goal Mia (oh)

I would live to see an upset here. I hate Meyer.

Miami-O missed a huge chance there

They’re gonna need some more Florida generosity.

A team that went 1-11 last year beat themselves against the mighty gatah’s.

Mobile posting

Asked last year and no one knew but is there a way to get the mobile page to refresh or at least get it to go to the bottom if I manually refresh? Gets a bit painful when the open thread gets to several hundred comments

by GeauxTigers on Sep 4, 2010 2:12 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

Sorry man

I got no clue. If y’all find out let me know.

by cbkao on Sep 4, 2010 2:16 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

UF

— Mike Pouncey needs to go back to guard. The guy’s a dynamite blocker, but you can’t have a center making snaps like that in an offense that uses so much shotgun.

— Steve Addazio’s playcalling looked a lot like Gary Crowton’s last year. He needs to figure out what his team does well and roll with that.

WTF!

The Texas Rice announcer just called Houston “The Bayou City”. Umm what?

Yep

That’s been its nickname for a while. Saw it on Madden some years ago for the first time

That’s just retarded. I live an hour and a half from Houston and never heard that. Damn Madden.

Just awesome day so far

Fla looked horrible and Ole Piss is going to OT with a 1AA team (don’t remember what they call it now) now hopefully LSU looks good.

JSU's line play has been excellent

But Ole Miss’ skill guys are just more athletic. Bolden just made that big run on his own.
