Anyone trying to enter with a double entendre in hand shall be immediately!

Anyone watching LSU-Alabama? Damn good game. Tied up at 10 all with 4:41 left to play!

:D

[GOPisEvil]

1. This is a really tight ballgame.

I'm actually surprised there have been 20 points scored in this game. ;)

[southlandshari]

2. It's a great game!

Normally I'd cheer for LSU, but an Alabama win makes the Auburn-Alabama game a much better context next weekend!

Could be looking at OT soon!

[southlandshari]

3. Not EVEN close!

Sorry FG attempt leaves it tied up!!

[southlandshari]

12. It's over - 16-13 LSU wins in OT.

Too bad for the Tide.

On to the main event at 6:45 (CDT) on ESPN!!

[GOPisEvil]

4. LSU's kicker sucks...a lot.

[southlandshari]

5. ROFL!!

Though I shouldn't laugh. Auburn's kicker was 0 for 5 against LSU.

:cry:

[GOPisEvil]

6. You an Auburn woman, Shari?

Gotta give some love to my fellow Land Grant school! :D

[southlandshari]

7. Give me double love, then!

I grew up in Auburn and graduated from Georgia. Big night for me tonight!!!

[GOPisEvil]

8. Wow!

What a great play call that was at the end of the game!

I didn't know you were a Bulldog. I have another friend that's a Dawg. :D

[southlandshari]

10. Woof, woof!

I'll leave it at that so as to honor my own admonishment in the original post here!

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

11. Our official mascot is a dog, too.

A collie. She has more of an "arf" though. :silly:

[southlandshari]

9. A-L-M-O-S-T!!!!

He almost made it to the endzone!

Going into OT!!

[GOPisEvil]

13. If only Alabama had a clue on offense...

Oh well...still a good game.

[southlandshari]

14. I tried to cheer for them.

But I can't say as I'm :cry: at the outcome.

You know what I mean. When was the last time you cheered for UT?

;)

[GOPisEvil]

15. Try...uh...never.

Well...I can say I've wanted them to win on occasion for strategery purposes, but actively cheer for them to win? Hell will NEVER get that cold. :P

[southlandshari]

16. Well said.

Strategy was the name of the game for me. But I couldn't really cheer for 'em. And couldn't really help smiling when LSU won!

:P

[GOPisEvil]

17. I also generally cheer for my conference teams to win in bowl games.

Except Kansas St. I want them to lose all the time. :evilgrin:

[sasquatch]

18. Alabama loses 13-17 against LSU, and Ohio State beat Michigan 48-7

Which is the beginning of Michigan vs Ohio State week.
:party:

[KeepItReal]

19. LSU 16....'Bama 13...... GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Frickin sweet!!!

[southlandshari]

20. Congrats!

The AU-LSU game was the most miserable night of the season for me so far. But I hold no grudges - I love LSU!

:hi:

[KeepItReal]

28. Thank you much!

I'm just glad I could watch it here in Los Angeles.

Catching SEC action is really tough on the West Coast.

[southlandshari]

29. I hear you on the broadcast issue.

We lived in Mississippi for a while, which was even more frustrating, because we got SEC games, but on FSS and JP and other regional broadcasters, we never got to see Auburn or Georgia play. Watched a lot of LSU, Arkansas and the two Mississippi schools, though!

:D

[southlandshari]

21. First Blood!!! Auburn 7 - Georgia 0

I love UGA, my alma mater, but I bleed orange and blue.

Nice run by Kenny Irons!!!

:woohoo:

[ncrainbowgrrl]

22. I went to the UNC- Maryland game today.

Maryland won in OT. (grrrr.)

While I am only slighly sunburned, my partner is much more burnt than I am. (we're both redheads) Who would have thought to bring sunscreen to a november football game? :grr:

[southlandshari]

23. Damn!

Sorry about the final score. At least it was close!

I'm surprised about the sunburn, too. Got some aloe?

:hug:

[ncrainbowgrrl]

25. Yes, we have PLENTY of aloe in the house!

With two redheads, it's pretty much a given that we're going to need to use more than our fair share of aloe in any given year.

Ironically enough, neither of us had gotten a sunburn this year before today!

Thanks for the hug! Glad I was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt, or that would have HURT!!

:hug:

[southlandshari]

24. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Interception!!

:(



























(go dawgs! i can't help but be a little happy for 'em even if i'm cheering against them!)

[Awsi Dooger]

26. Another four bagger for me today

Miami and USC win, Florida and FSU blow.

Plus the Alabama loss puts my Canes first in line to wiggle into the Rose Bowl in case 'SC and/or Texas stumble. Not going to happen. Only four obstacles remaining and both teams will be multiple TD favorites in their two games, USC home to Fresno State and UCLA, Texas at Texas A&M and then the Big 12 title game, maybe against Colorado.

I don't care about rankings or offenses, the SEC is the best league to watch week to week and year to year. You get much closer to 60 minutes of sustained intensity than any other conference, IMO.

[southlandshari]

27. The SEC kicks ass!

:thumbsup:

TOUCHDOWN....AUBURN!!!

:woohoo:

[southlandshari]

30. FUCK!

Touchdown UGA!

19-13 UGA in the third.

Is anyone else watching this game?

:popcorn:

[Wapsie B]

31. What channel?

I've been listening to Northern Iowa v. Southern Illinois and Iowa State v. Colorado.

[southlandshari]

32. ESPN --- TOUCHDOWN....AUBURN!!!

Great game. Tune in and talk to me about it!!!

:pals:

[Wapsie B]

33. I'm watching it now.

We get most UGA games up here. Auburn shoulda picked off that pass. Looks like a good close game.

[southlandshari]

35. You are so right.

Hit it right in the numbers. Crap.

Are you a UGA fan? I am a big-time fan (my alma mater) except when they play Auburn.

Glad you are here!! :hug:



On edit - Duh. Just read your sig line. Guess UGA isn't your team. Still glad you are here watching the game!!

[Wapsie B]

36. I've grown to appreciate UGA since I see them play quite a few games

each year. You've got a good coach.

No I can still be an UGA fan. God anything but Ohio State or Nebraska. LOL

:hug:

I'm glad you're here.

[southlandshari]

37. I've got two good teams and two good coaches

to cheer for. I grew up in Auburn and graduated from UGA. Both programs have great athletes and coaching staffs at present!

This is one game where I can't really lose each year. I cheer for Auburn most of the time (18 years of indoctrination vs. 4 - AU wins out), unless UGA really has far more to gain with a win than AU does.

Tonight I gott cheer for my hometown team. But I'm not sorry whenever UGA does something well (like that pass reception just now).

Great game!

:D

[Wapsie B]

39. Is the Auburn-Alabama rivalry as bitter as its presented at times?

Yes, very good game. :D

[southlandshari]

41. It is.

:scared:

[Wapsie B]

45. Yeah I kinda thought so.

We see a lot of Tide games here too. That Shockley is one good quarterback. So many are all over Marcus Vick but that Shockley can bring it. Damn. Williams shoulda had that pass.

[southlandshari]

46. Shockley

and the Dawgs are bringing it now!!

Looks like the next points on the board will be red and black! 13:29 left in the game, and they are knocking on the TD door...

[Wapsie B]

48. Touchdown Georgia!

Nice run.

[southlandshari]

53. UGA is looking good!

Both teams are. Just glad it is such a good game!!

:D

[Wapsie B]

58. I'm just impressed about UGA's coach,

Mark Richt is is? I don't remember the Dawgs being this good till he got there. I remember the Herschel Walker era. But they always seem to be in the thick of it now. God what a good pass for Auburn!

I spoke too soon. Fumble recovery UGA!

[Wapsie B]

80. What a close call for Auburn

A nice run though. Too bad the ball came loose on the 3.

[southlandshari]

83. This is insane!

Come join us at the end of this thread. I don't think I can watch!

;)

[southlandshari]

34. Damn!!!

Should have been an AU interception! Ah well, we'll take a punt instead. AU up 21-20 with 6:23 left in the third!!

(am I talking to myself? should have gone to that party down the street to watch the game...)

[fishwax]

96. that was an incredible game

watched it with a big-time georgia fan, he was less than thrilled ...

[southlandshari]

97. Georgia played extremely well.

So did Auburn. It was a great game to watch!

:hi:

[fishwax]

99. definitely a classic~~congrats!

:hi:

[southlandshari]

100. Thanks!

I love the ones that keep you guessing until the final seconds tick away!

:hi:

[Island Blue]

38. Speaking of the SEC ...

How 'bout them Gamecocks! They beat Florida today for the first time in 66 years.

[southlandshari]

40. That was awesome!!!

That's the game that inspired me to start an NCAA football thread in the Lounge today. Unfortunately, my creative idea of using "'Cocks" in the subject line to get people's attention turned the whole thing into a pool of thinly veiled innuendo before any real sports talk could commence.

:rofl:

I was as guilty as the next in goofing off in that thread, so I started a new clean one in hopes of finding some folks who really did want to talk football today. SEC football = even better!

South Carolina looks really good this year. I'm not a Spurrier fan, but I'd love to see the Gamecocks growing into the competition in the league. Plus I hate the Gators with a passion!

:hi:

[Awsi Dooger]

42. Same here

I'm a lifelong Canes fan and I went to USC, the undefeated variety.

But my third favorite team every week is Florida's opponent.

[southlandshari]

44. Southern Cal

is a national champion worthy of respect, IMHO. I have enjoyed watching them for the last couple of years. They earn every bit of what comes their way.

I do wish Auburn had had a shot at them last year, though. I doubt we would have won, but we sure as hell wouldn't have given up 55 f-ing points! The Sooners have got to be the most overrated team of the past decade!!

:hi:

[Awsi Dooger]

59. Ouch, that reference!

Your profanity I can take, but Southern Cal...

The announcers are now saying 'SC during Trojan games. As an alum I appreciate that, because we've been trying to stop the media from saying Southern Cal for nearly a decade. The USC sports information office asks the broadcasters doing the games to avoid that reference, and this is the first year it's really taken hold. No one on campus or in Los Angeles uses that term. It's essentially a lazy invention of the eastern and midwestern press.

I think Auburn would have been a load for USC to handle last year. I agree we probably would have won, but Auburn's defense would have kept the score down considerably. SEC champions don't get blown out. With the glorious exception of Nebraska over Florida in the '95 Fiesta Bowl.

[southlandshari]

67. Consider me educated!

Never again will that nickname be uttered by yours truly!

:D

[Awsi Dooger]

76. Thank you!

It's actually a bonus residue of 'SC's success the last few years. If we were still wobbling at 7-4 every year I'm sure that term would be more prevalent.

[southlandshari]

95. USC around here = South Carolina

Old habits are hard to break!

[Awsi Dooger]

98. I know, that's why I wrote

"USC, the undefeated variety" in my initial reference

[Island Blue]

43. I was never really a Spurrier fan either, but I think he's growing on me!

I can't wait to see what he'll be able to do in a few years after he's had a few seasons to recruit players of his own.

I know what you mean about the Cock thing. That's why I didn't use it, but you know you're a true South Carolina fan if you can yell "Go Cocks" at the top of your lungs along with 80,000 of your closest friends.

[southlandshari]

47. ROFL!

Where were you Carolina fans earlier today? I could have used some backup!

:rofl:

[Island Blue]

55. Still recovering from the fact that we actually won!

Sorry I missed it.

[SmileyBoy]

49. NDSU beats SDSU 41-17 to take the Dakota Marker!!!

WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!

Top-10 in I-AA!!!!!

[KitchenWitch]

51. Woohoo!

High five!

[Wapsie B]

52. Northern Iowa won a share of the Gateway Title

so the Panthers are in the playoffs too. Good luck to NDSU.

[southlandshari]

56. Congrats again!

Left you another reply in your other thread!

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

50. Come ON Auburn!

[southlandshari]

54. Yay!! Reinforcements!

I think I told you before I went to UGA, so I'm happy to see them doing well, but you know who my heart is with!

Glad to see you here tonight, darlin'!!!

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

57. Yeah, minor problems with the kids

It is not that I don't like the bulldogs, I just like Auburn better...

[southlandshari]

61. I like Auburn better too!!

That's why I knew when you showed up I had a fellow fan!!

:pals:

[KitchenWitch]

63. I so wanted the officials to call "down by contact"

on that last play.

[southlandshari]

60. 53 yard reception!!! Then fumble...

:woohoo:

then

:banghead:

[KitchenWitch]

65. Now it is

:woohoo:

then

:banghead:

Now

:woohoo:

[southlandshari]

71. I feel like every play

right now is

:banghead: :woohoo: :banghead: :woohoo: :wow: :banghead: :woohoo: :banghead: :woohoo: :wow:

[KitchenWitch]

72. That is about right!

[LizW]

62. Huh? What are the announcers saying?

You can't review who recovers a fumble? Well, they're reviewing right now.

Announcers, shut up.

(AU vs. UGA)

[KitchenWitch]

64. LOL

Can't have empty airwaves.

[southlandshari]

66. ROFL!!

I totally agree! Yak, yak, yak!!

Great to see you here, darlin'!!

:hug:

[LizW]

70. Glad to be here!

Hubby was exhausted after the Alabama game and he was snoring in the recliner. I made him go to bed!

[southlandshari]

68. Ayyyiiieee!! We've got us a game!!!

God - every single play at this point is a nail-biter!

:wow:

[Wapsie B]

73. Nice sack by the Dawgs!

[southlandshari]

69. Poor David Gibbs...

Did you see him when that kid missed the AU interception?

He has done a great job with the AU defense. We are lucky to have him!

[southlandshari]

74. LOL - did you hear that UGA fan just say "What the fuck?!"

Bet that ESPN cameraman didn't mean to capture that up close and personal.

:P

Don't blame the kid, though. That was a bad call.

[Wapsie B]

75. Naughty naughty.

Too quick for the censors. Live TV doesn't have a dump button like talk radio. :P

[Awsi Dooger]

77. I can't believe I saw that

4th and 10, long completion, fumble in the end zone, recover within the last foot of the end zone. Otherwise a game ending touchback.

[southlandshari]

81. I'm closing my eyes now.

Will you tell me how it ends?

:o

[Awsi Dooger]

86. That's what I do

Change the channel even on a basic extra point if it's critical. Should be a 98% likelihood. Good luck.

[southlandshari]

78. TOUCHDOWN.....AUBURN!!!!!

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

[southlandshari]

79. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

:cry:

:cry:

:cry:

:cry:

:cry:

:cry:

:cry:

[LizW]

82. Key-riced!!!!!

Can you believe that?????

Is it going to come down to a FG?

[southlandshari]

85. Yikes!

Poor John Vaughn.

Now is the chance to redeem himself after going 0-5 against LSU.

I have never wanted a field goal more in my life - for him as much as for Auburn.

:o

[Wapsie B]

88. Should be a chip shot.

Way to go Vaughn!

[LizW]

89. IT"S GOOD!!!

[Awsi Dooger]

84. Not so fast, my friend

To borrow from Lee Corso.

I didn't realize that 4th down rule applied to a TD as well as a first down. Only the fumbler can recover further downfield.

Now Auburn will just set it up in the middle of the field for a FG attempt and potential 1 point lead.

[southlandshari]

87. I don't even care who wins now - I just want that kid to hit this FG.

And he did it!!!

FLAG on the play?????

Whew - roughing the kicker on UGA.

This has been quite a nail-biter - thanks for watching with me!!

[Wapsie B]

91. Way to go Tigers!!!

Awesome game! This is what college football is all about. :bounce:

[Awsi Dooger]

90. Congratulations Auburn and southlandshari!

I think it took that cocks thread. Otherwise, wide right.

[southlandshari]

94. ROFL!

I do think we put that OTHER thread "to bed". Heehee!

This was fun - see you next Saturday!

:hi:

[southlandshari]

92. Auburn wins 31-30! Thanks everyone who watched with me!!

This was a fun thread!

Much better than that other one I started earlier. ;)

Got to go get my poor neglected daughter to bed now. See ya'll later!

:grouphug:

[KitchenWitch]

93. woohoo!

:hi:
