What channel is it on? That could affect the over/under for how many actors from the network's other shows are shown in the stands.
USC total offensive yards vs. days between Tivo resets.
How do you determine who wins these proposed X vs. Y bets?
well, ogged's tivo will win no matter what. i don't think a college football team has put up 1,000 yards in recent memory. so, combined yards v. ogged's tivo?
How about USC first downs in the first half vs. Ogged's total count on first resetting the tivo?
Who else remembers when comments around here were funny?
Posts, too. Those were the good ole' days.
Mo MacArbie: What channel is it on?
Channel 7.
Aren't channels different for different people? Or do you know where Mo lives and how he gets his programming?
It's on ABC at 58pm Eastern.
We survive a thousand arguments about Iraq but are torn asunder by the Rose Bowl.
Other than Armsmasher, does anyone really have strong feelings about this game? Both schools seem irritating to me (or rather, USC is irritating and the state of Texas is irritating).
torn asunder by the Rose Bowl
Actually, you called me a premature ejaculator, but historical revisionism is in for 2006.

I work for the NSA (either that or it was a lame attempt at teh funny).
Wooooo! Woooo! Hook 'em woo awesome!
Number of beers consumed tonight > Ogged's pre-reset numbers + total first downs. I've already started.
is indeed, as Smasher of Arms points out
Wouldn't that be "Smasher of Arm," or "Masher of Arms" or even "Asher of Armsm"?
It is an insult to his pseudonymous pseuperpowers to think that he would be incapable of smashing more than one arm. Shattered ulnas litter the battlefield like discarded popcorn in a movie theater. Beware, for his vengeance is swift and terrible.
The last good bet of this type that I had was whether the Knicks would score more in the third quarter (of a game they had been playing quite well so far, if memory serves) then the Bills would in an entire game. So what other games will be on simultaneous with this one?
Well, w/d, we just happen to have a young woman tied up on some nearby astroturf...
This is why I generally don't watch college sports: dumb dumb dumb. A lateral?! (Not to mention the Texas late hit earlier.)
Those are the kind of plays that make me wonder about academic eligibility.
(In fairness, I've seen more than one NFL quarterback spike the ball to stop the clock on 4th down.)
Yeah - fuck. I'm waiting to get up two touchdowns to start razzing 'Smasher.
That lateral was one of the silliest decisions I have ever seen a Heisman Trophy winner make.
Aside from OJ cutting off his wife's head, obviously.
Also, the announcers suck. It's a real tribute that Texas fumble so often that it's good at recovering the ball? WTF?
That raised my eyebrows too, Tim.
I thought that was just a Fouts-style joke.
Sloppiness aside, USC looks a lot better than Texas. We should be working on art-related putdowns for 'Smasher. So far: "Guernica come to life."
There's not one particular arm he smashes.
USC looks better, but if they keep turning it over every time they get close to scoring, it will all be for naught.
Sloppiness is important; I'd actually be surprised to see USC win.
I'd say neither qb is going to win this game throwing the ball deep.
Oh, and the TE from Texas will end the game with 10+ catches.
I'm just killing myself for not betting on Texas. I knew that line was too high....
I bet my boss lunch on this game. I'm now wishing I bet him my bonus against his. Oh, and I took Texas.
Good lord, they're missing some big calls.
Where's Smasher? I want to try to estimate his BAC by analyzing his comments.
He's at a bar in Austin, I think. See the link above (#36).
i could care less about either of these teams, but i remember a few saturdays this fall turning on the tv after the internets told me usc was losing at halftime.
Fuck. Please toggle USC and Texas in all of my comments, ogged.
Do sports announcers regularly make references to fantasy novels, or was that something of a first?
i keep wanting to hate keith jackson, but it keeps not working at all.
If I were an announcer, I would totally do that. "WHOA! He's running that ball to the endzone like Frodo taking the one ring to Mt. Doom!"
Ah...Caroll's an idiot, not Michael.
they could do such a good job with mst 3000 on the announcing of this game.
I wonder if Smasher's died of a heart attack yet?
hmm, only if he follows apo's bacon-only diet.
Wow. Fitting, really. He's amazing.
Still 19 seconds left!
You think Pete Carroll is familiar with the defensive concept of the quarterback "spy"?
But the first tackler never brings him down.
SC still does have a sliver of a chance.
I'm just saying it might have been something to try. Although running past him on the cornerback blitz everytime was working great too.
Also, is Reggie Bush a big Rey Mysterio fan?
Not Bush's best game, but it seemed like every Texas player was determined to stop him, and let anyone else beat them. He did edge out their QB for the Heisman, after all.
Yeah, that's the one thing you can't say. His coach was classy; too bad.
she called him vince!
Also fitting. His arm is weaker than I realized.
mack brown, outclassing usc one qb at a time.
These sponsored ceremonies are so lame.
get a real pa announcer at least.
For those of us who missed the end of the game, what'd Leinart do?
lee corso needs to... i dont know... lay off the botox?
leinart -- "I still think we're the better team."
what'd Leinart do?
In the post-game interview, he said he thought they were still the better team.
so in ogged's tivo v. vince young's combined yards (467) who won?
I predict Smasher will next be sober on Sunday afternoon.
ug, poor taste on my part. feel free to delete this and 81 ogged.
I chalk it up to too much rogue dead guy.
I predict Smasher will next be sober on Sunday afternoon.
What's the spread on that?
I'll give it +5.5 hours from noon.
also, the o/u on his bac right now is .2
Formula for liking college football: keep track of score, watch last three minutes of game. Otherwise, wind up screaming that you don't pass on third and five from the nine.

Anyone want to give odds on Smasher having his first gay experience tonight?
well, we have to quantify
the o/u is tongue and mild groping.
Also depends on how many guys named "Vince" there are where he is.
You guys don't think he'll feel obligated to memorialize the win somehow? "Well, it's either this or a tattoo. I'll be the top, Jimmy."
Oh holy fuck. My TV's gone to local news, and there was just a graphic read "Baby Death," with the letter's formed to look like children's toy blocks. How cute!
He should get a lot of shit for all the 4th-and-1 decisions, even if the players were supposed to call time the first time around.
Wait, they got a touchdown on one of those, didn't they? Maybe I should take that back.
Hmmf! Young Michael should count himself lucky if he gets away with mild groping!
Oh, I'm sorry. You all were talking about soccer, was it?
100!!!!!
Oh, I'm sorry. You all were talking about soccer, was it?
Now, for really important news, the Stars scored 2 goals in 98 seconds in the 3rd to top Vancouver 3-1.
Thank god.

Wait, how'd I get involved in the gay orgy? I'm confused and don't know how I got here!
I don't know what you guys are talking about. I stopped watching the game in the third. What a snoozer.
I have some incoherent voicemail that says different.
how'd I get involved in the gay orgy?
We all end up asking that question eventually.
