AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY ALCOA ADVERTISES

We were heading toward simultaneous "Alcoa Fantastic Finishes" in both Jacksonville and East Hartford, but Georgia just scored again to go up 42-30 on the MyT.TEbows (work it around on your tongue a bit).

187 ....damn you, Knowhson Moreno!

Meanwhile, UConn is up on South Florida 22-15 with four minutes left. Not that I care all that much. South Florida is a lot slower north of the Mason-Dixon line.

Huge play at the Rent: USF has 3rd-and-goal at the two and calls a naked bootleg. But when Matt Grothe comes out of his fake, two UConn defenders have his outside completely blocked off. They "stayed home", as we say. Grothe kept spinning and turning and lost ten yards.

Fourth-and-goal from the 12...and Grothe's pass sails out of bounds. UConn's going to beat a Top 25 team for the second week in a row. New England is going to have two teams in the Top 20 when Sunday's rankings come out. They're raising the roof on the covered bridges up there.


Knowshon Moreno is a MAN, by the way. And it looks like I picked the wrong day to emulate Herschel walker, by the way.

187


Meanwhile, back at the Cocktail Fest, things couldn't be worse for the Gators...UF is driving for a TD (they need two), but a shotgun snap comes up high and short in front of Tebow. He dives for it halfheartedly (that shoulder must kill), but Georgia's Danelle Ellerbee dives for it, too. Ellerbee not only recovers the errant snap, but slams into Tebow's right shoulder. I haven't seen a gladiator with a shoulder that bad since Maximus took that sword to his left shoulder in the assassination attempt. Anyway, Tebow was very slow to get up.

I'm wondering whether, with the Gators now at 5-3, if they'll even play Tebow next week against Vanderbilt. Hard to believe the Gators have lost three in a row.


I'm just seeing for the first time Georgia's "excessive celebration" penalty after their first TD. The entire team came out onto the field and ran to the end zone to celebrate. SO COOL. If you're going to get a 15-yard flag, you might as well get your money's worth. I'm guessing Mark Richt is going to get a severe phone call from SEC HQ on Monday, and I'm guessing he won't care.

But if Kentucky can get fined $50,000 for its fans storming the field after a win against LSU, can Georgia be fined for having its entire team storm the field? Stay tuned.


My upset special this week was Nebraska over Texas. Right now it's 21-17 Texas with about four minutes to play. I'm going to take an hour break and then catch you back for Kansas-Texas A&M, and then of course Ohio State-Penn State.

And we'll discuss if Dennis Dixon is the new Heisman frontrunner. Going to be hard for ManGod Tebow to win the Heisman as a sophomore with three losses. Maybe we just give it to Vince Young, as he's the most worthy runner-up in recent memory.

Texas just went up 28-17. It was a nice try, Huskers. You showed up today.

Please define "naked bootleg". Is this another Johnny Depp reference?
