Open GameDay Thread: Texas vs Alabama
by PB @ BON
on Jul 15, 2008 9:31 PM CDT
Kickoff at 10:00 p.m. CT. Texas, represented by BON'er Chase Dunegan, versus Alabama, represented by some dude who owns world records in video games. Playing NCAA Football 2009 on its release day, courtesy of Bush League TV.
I'm just thrilled that we're at a point where we're gonna have embeddable live video of this thing. A live Open (Video)GameDay Thread.
[live stream deleted to improve load time]
TEXAS 28 ALABAMA 7
I hadn't quite realized how desperate for football I was until I watched this entire game, start to finish, living and dying with each play.
Great job, Chase... Repping UT and BON exceptionally well... Enjoyed it immensely.

For rills
Is it too early to get worked up over this? It’s not, right?

The audio comes from the other vid
at bushleaguedottv, the one showing the players. If you open it in another browser tab you can hear it.

Is his lady (on the other blog) wearing a sundress and JEANS?
For shame.

I'm actually at work...

Ok, so...
Do I qualify as having reached the pinnacle of geekitude when I’m
a.) Writing a computer program to simulate an impact on the Moon
b.) chatting on a blog
c.) Watching some dude play video games LIVE on said blog
All at the same time?

Oh man, twitter...
One of the weirder things on the internet. My project has its own twitter (I did not write it), and it writes in the first person. It’s a 700kg satellite, and it gets excited when people have meetings about it. Very weird.

The Mars Rover one
makes me incredibly sad. It keeps talking about how it’s had a good life and how we shouldn’t be sad it’s going to “die”.

This is just the beginning
Wait until you get a job in the industry and you will look fondly on these days when you weren’t completely immersed in geekdome.

So 24 hours of non-stop gaming...
... sure has a lot of stoppage time.
Do we get that? I say we need 2 hours of injury minutes! I watched soccer!

Okay so the Bama guy is gonna play the computer as Texas

I need football!
Would anyone else think its sad that I need football so bad that I actually watched the 2006 matchup between Air Force and TCU a couple nights ago on THE MTN?

Before we start
I’d like to jinx us by mentioning that we’ve never lost to ‘Bama. EVER.

This is amazing!
I am sitting here watching this with my 4 year old daughter wearing her Longhorn cheerleader outfit.
I think she is more excited than I am!
TEXAS!!!

does Nick Saban have any fatalities in this game?
otherwise I like what I see

That spine-yanking thing
is all part of his breakfast routine, so it’s not included as a skill move due to frequency of use.

How many poor kids...

All by himself!
I think that was Beasley on the sack!

And after an explosive play, too!
We got robbed of seven by Davis, though.
