COUPLA NAIL BITERS
08.31.07
The college football season kicked off last night, and four ranked teams eked out victories over surprisingly tough underdogs.
- #2 LSU 45, Mississippi State 0 — MSU quarterback Michael Henig threw a costly interception that may have been the turning point in the game, because then he went on to throw five more. He did, however, complete 11 passes to his own teammates, so that was nice.
- #10 Louisville 73, Murray State 10 — The Cardinals notched 10 touchdowns, yet Brian Brohm threw only four of them, obviously dampening the Heisman buzz. He didn't even throw 400 yards. Louisville scored TDs on its first eight drives and finished with 655 yards of total offense. It's a W, for sure, but the Cards have got to be disappointed.
- #16 Rutgers 38, Buffalo 3 — Buffalo has a college now? Aw, that's sweet. Ray Rice ran for 184 yards and 3 scores.
- #24 Boise State 56, Weber State 7 — Last year's undefeated national champions continued where they left off, squeaking past a heavy favorite using trick plays. Cheerleader husband Ian Johnson ran for 124 yards and three TDs.

Ahh the creampuff weeks of September. It reminds me of the time I beat up that crippled kid. Good times, good times.
Second!
Aahhh, just like releasing a buildup of gas that nearly makes you shit your pants.
Those scores are more lopsided than Eli Manning's forehead.
I guess the kids Bantam Leauge has not moved back to New Orleans yet, so LSU had to kick the crap out of MS State.

+1 dear god that was great
Capricorn-
You're lucky my parents never pressed charges against you…
They have a playoff system this year right? No? Damn. College football, I'm only here for the tailgates.
I loved the ESPN broadcast last night. When the game was at 24-0 they talking about a MSU Linebacker like he was the next Joe Mantegna.
Cheerleader husband Ian Johnson ran for 124 yards and three TDs.
It's too bad for him that his cheerleader wife was going down on the guy with the megaphone while he was on the field. She's a total slut.
289: Tailgates and Freshman 15 inauguration in the back seat of my Thunderbird! Awwwright, awwwright, awwwright….
so doogie, do use chloroform or a blunt object like a 2×4?
BearFukr- you know what happens when you get the syrup in me, I get all antsy in the pantsy!
At least the Tigers played a conference team. I never understood why these perennial top 20 teams open with 1-AA schools and D-1 doormats. In the long run, doesn't having a crap team on your schedule hurt your chances at not only getting better as a team, but your strength of schedule too?
I mean……..I like freshman girls too.
WAS: I have upgraded to a six pack of coors lite sitting by the passanger side door, pepper spray….I still like them kicking around a little….
* and Pepper spray..
Got all excited….uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh…
Cupcake opponents are like most of the dates I had in college; slapped around at the outset and then passed off to one's less-talented friends.
And, of course, by "most of the dates I had" I mean 2 of 3.
My alma mater defeated David Letterman's last night…yep, I'm better than him.
And the Big 12 North continues to be awesome as Iowa State loses at home to mighty Kent State.
@doogie I prefer the good old rope and gag strategy..I use my penis as the gag. tehe
combined score of those "games" 212-20. what ever happened to must see tv on Thursday nights?
@lscwxman: I couldnt even watch 'The Office' or '30 Rock' reruns on NBC last night because the local affiliate carried the Bears preseason game, complete with Mike Ditka doing the color commentary.
Fucking shoot me.
HHY– I can top that. I was "treated" to the Redskins game where Joe Theismann actually said "Well let's not count out Mark Brunell as being the backup quarterback just yet!" in his all his douchey-ness.
And Mike Patrick just sounds bitter and defeated. Haha.
@HHY we had the geriatric show of the vinnie testaverde led pats against the giants. as a jet fan i second your parting thought.
Vinnie Testaverde? Christ, didn't he die from Parkinson's or something?
Mad Men is good Thursday night viewing. Got to be better than watching Miss St get beat like a wife trapped in a loveless marriage. Does playing football for a team that bad still get you laid?
