Anyone watching LSU-Tennessee game?

[southlandshari]

Wow! Huge comeback in progress for the Vols right now.

If there is another discussion thread on it, can someone point the way?

Thanks!

[Floogeldy]

1. I thought it was a re-run

Are they actually playing TONIGHT?

[southlandshari]

2. No - it's live, first home game for LSU since the hurricane

LSU was up 21-0 in the third quarter, now barely leading 24-21 with 4:50 left in the fourth and Tennessee is driving and looking strong.

Great game!

4. Gawd I wish I had started watching from the beginning.

TIED now.

I had no idea.

Thanks.

[southlandshari]

3. This is weird to me - no NCAA football fans on tonight?

I guess all the cool sports folks are watching the NFL.

Floogeldy, just me and you, kid!

:hi:

[southlandshari]

5. TIED UP at 24 with two minutes to go!

I guess I could just discuss it with myself - come back, Floogeldy!

:D

On edit - yay! Glad you're watching! No fun to watch alone. But better for you that you are long distance - I tend to punch whoever is sitting next to me on the shoulder out of excitement whenever someone scores or intercepts or does anything else remotely meaningful in a game like this!

[Floogeldy]

7. I am watching.

:)

[southlandshari]

8. What an awesome game!

:23 left, 24-24. Tennessee's ball...

[southlandshari]

9. HOLY CRAP! Interception LSU, :17 left!!!

WOW.

[Floogeldy]

6. Monday night college football . . .

. . . does not compute! My bad. ;)

[southlandshari]

11. I know what you mean

I knew about the game because I'm an SEC girl through and through. Love both these teams, unless they are playing Auburn or Georgia.

Forgive my play by play here, this is just a fucking fantastic game!

Overtime - awesome pass and interception in the Hail Mary attempt!

[Floogeldy]

10. Being from Oklahoma, I have an interest in Les Miles.

Know what I mean, Jellybean?

:)

[southlandshari]

12. Of course!

And because you are from Oklahoma, I'm softening my attitude towards the team I once loved to hate. So there!

:toast:

[Floogeldy]

13. I'm glued!

Classic game on the rise.

:)

[southlandshari]

14. Thanks for watching with me!

I know the sentimental favorite is LSU and all, but I like Tennessee, too (though Fulmer leaves something to be desired) and an upset only helps the teams I like best in the SEC!

[Floogeldy]

15. I am not rooting for either team.

Just enjoying it. If I were over-emotional, I would be rooting against Les Miles.

:)

[southlandshari]

16. I'm not either

Which is what makes it an even BETTER game to watch. You get to enjoy the great play on both sides!

[Floogeldy]

22. That was good.

:)

[southlandshari]

17. WHAT A GREAT GAME!

First and goal for Tennessee in overtime!

Denied on first down....

I'm such a geek over good college football!

[Floogeldy]

18. EEK! How close can it get?

Yikes.

[southlandshari]

19. TENNESSEE WINS IN 0T!

Whew. What a game. Wow. Just wow! When was the last time you saw a fourth quarter comeback from being down 21-0 against the #4 team in the nation?

:woohoo:

[Floogeldy]

21. Give it up to Tennessee.

They won, fair and square.

Thanks for the heads up, southlandshari. It is a classic.

I'm not upset that Les Miles lost. Not at all, if you know his history.

I prefer college football over pro.

:)

[WCGreen]

20. Well, I knew there was a game on but I wasn't aware.....

Too much sports in our house as it is with the Indians, Buckeyes and Browns, or so I have been told........

[sasquatch]

23. LSU deserved to lose that football game

If you lead 21-0 at halftime and lose you REALLY fucked up.

On a side note maybe the Tennessee coaches will now play Clausen and take their heads out of their collective asses when it comes to dealing with that Ainge kid.

[jus_the_facts]

24. Les Miles should be FIRED TONIGHT.....

....he SUCKS and shoulda been STONED leavin' the stadium for NOT EVEN TRYIN' TO GET A FIELD GOAL WITH 2 MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME....disgustin' doesn't even begin to describe that pathetic display of coachin'!!!!!!!!!!!!:argh: :hurts: :mad: :nuke: :banghead: :rant:


GAWDDAMMIT we need Nick Saben back. :cry:

[southlandshari]

25. Nick Saben...

ROCKS!

I was sorry to see him go, too!

:hug:

[jus_the_facts]

27. sigh....yep he's got the Dolphins kickin' ass so far.....

....he definitely does rock...shame he isn't doin' it in Baton Rouge anymore. :(

Thanks for the hug..sure needed one after that crushin' loss. :hug:

[southlandshari]

28. Plenty of hugs here!

I would not be a happy camper if that had happened to a team I was really cheering for tonight.

I love both LSU and Tennessee, so I was happy for the Vols, but know what an awful night it is for LSU fans after a game like that!

Here's another for ALL the LSU fans around here tonight!

30. That was insanely conservative

I understand your frustration after watching the replay. LSU got the ball at the 20 with slightly over 2 minutes left and tied at 24. They ran two give up running plays up the middle then attempted a gadget play on 3rd down. Ridiculous. Tennessee had all the momentum so LSU definitely should have tried to just end it in regulation and never give the ball to the Vols again. Very puzzling, since LSU pulled out the Arizona St game on the final drive so you would think Miles would have confidence in the offense to do it again.

[Wapsie B]

26. I forgot this was a makeup game

for LSU because of Katrina. Couldn't remmeber when they were going to play it.

[Awsi Dooger]

29. I'm astonished by what I'm reading here

I bet LSU in the first half and turned the game off when it was 21-0. I just assumed LSU won huge. Actually it's great timing discovering this thread because I turned on ESPN2 and the replay is at halftime right now so I'll witness the miracle.

Just more evidence to bet the first half only, something I should have discovered a decade earlier. All the unrepresentative rubbish shows up in the second half.

[NaturalHigh]

31. I turned it off after halftime.

When I got home last night and checked the score, I couldn't believe it. In retrospect, this is typical Less Miles. He blew a huge lead last year against Texas (when he was at Oklahoma State) and ended up losing big.

Edited for spelling.

[Zomby Woof]

32. HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: The universe is in balance. :-)

This was by far better than the NFL game on, and the evening was complete watching "No Direction Home" on PBS. :D

[southlandshari]

33. I'm glad you were watching

I thought about you every time the Vols scored yet again!

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

34. So THAT'S why my ears were burning!

:hi: And I was craving moonpies too!

You ARE the SEC! Georgia, Auburn... all of 'em! Your spirit guides them! :D

[dajoki]

35. it was a great game...

i love SEC football!!:woohoo:
