PB, your countdown clock is an hour slow.
I tuned in to 98.1 for the pregame and they led with a rousing version of Wabash Cannonball and I could see txtwtr7 dancing, at least in my mind’s eye. Damn good start.

You sure about that?
Countdown clock looks right on to me. 1 hour 13 minutes to kickoff…

Yeah, just looked at it. 26 mins. to KO, it says 1 hr. 26.
You’re twisted up in Yankee time.

How odd
It’s correct for me, with 20 minutes to KO.
No idea; maybe some bug in the code. I’ll look into it… later.
Now: BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!! HIT! HARD HAT HELMET KILL KINDLE RABIES DEATH!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!

Sucks I can't watch this on TV
Looks like I’ll have to settle with Craig Way… unless there is some website streaming the game? Anyone?

Not really. I'm going to listen, also.
Actually, I really like listening to games occasionally. You get a lot more relevant info and better player info.

First touchdown?
Pass or run?

Nope.
It’ll be a BOOM MOTHER FUCKER! hit on Rusty Smith, leading to a fumble and returned TD.

Strangely enough, I've been thinking that, too.
I was seeing one of those puny out passes and a double hit on the receiver, with the ball going into the air and one of the DBs hustling it in. A great Boom Motherfucker and a general Fuck you, welcome to Texas.

So
I just ordered the game. I freaking hate PPV. I’m unable to watch the pre-game activities because TW’s digital guide won’t let me switch to the game until it “starts”, because of the guide’s schedules.
Lame.

Radio says they're showing VY video stuff now.
{I’m hearing a lot of thunder right now so I may have to shut down at any time.}
Vince is holding aloft his jersey right
VY:
Hey Longhorns. First of all I want to thank God and to thank my coach Coach Brown for coming to get me in Houston and bringing me to Austin. I want to thank Coach Roy and the UT band.
I want to say y’all’s love…the way you carry yourself across the nation…I’m going to keep loving UT until I die.
(I may have missed a few words and phrases but this is the gist.)
It is done. #10 is now history.

You may be exactly right
I was typing and listening all at the same time and I’m partially deaf – I barely hear through the range of speech. Fans makes more sense. I was just trying to get it down.
Anymore?

Maybe I just have a poor memory, but didn’t we have more folks posting last year? Fairweather fans?
by chief on Aug 30, 2008 5:49 PM CDT 0 recs
People are probably watching other games
Michigan is making a big comeback, now Utah 25-23 with 4:34 left,
and many of the locals are at the game.

I think the fact that it is PPV
may be hurting. I’m paranoid right now that the DirecTV PPV isn’t going to work.

is texassports
gonna have the game afterwards? i’m in JAX and the local cable co. (comcast) isn’t offering it. this is agony.

I'm a fucking idiot
I just figured out that I could type in the PPV channel number and watch the pregame, without waiting on the guide to switch over to me.
Jesus, I feel stupid.

There's a time for beer, a time for cheer
and a time to be a real fan. 5:59. Always optimistic.

I love that Muschamp is wearing black. It's appropriate, considering this is a fucking funeral.

Who's the first Horn tonight
to get a celebration penalty that they are enforcing this year….my guess is Palmer

Sub B. Malcolm Williams.
Brandon Collins will miss the game due to an administrative error, 1 game suspension.

OT question
Firefox keeps insisting that I install a plugin for this site… but when I let it search for one, it just says “Unknown Plugin”. Uhh, anyone know what it is?
by chief on Aug 30, 2008 6:06 PM CDT 0 recs
I get that message too.
I don’t know either. Probably some object on this site that Firefox doesn’t recognize.

Wonder how different the sound is.
I hear the roar; pretty good, more vibratto.

Gideon and Thomas at safeties.
I bet they move them all in and out.

Anyone else relying on an internet radio stream? God bless Craig Way.

check woai 1200 online
I’m crossing my fingers that it holds up throughout the game.

Heavy dose of McGee to start
2 runs and about an 8 yard pass.
by ctex80 on Aug 30, 2008 6:17 PM CDT 0 recs
In the red zone.
Let’s see if we can finish this year!!!
by JohnsonUT on Aug 30, 2008 6:19 PM CDT 0 recs
They made the correct call.
Should be 1st and goal from 1/2 yard line.

Dear FAU D Line,
It was nice while it lasted.

When facing a team that is physically overmatched
I absolutely love running the ball down their fucking throat. Nice drive.

In early pregame said he had a strained muscle.
Didn’t catch all, but he’s not hurt badly. He’ll be back; more precautionary and easy in this game to do.
