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.

ohh, seconded

Definitely a defensive score.

I must admit

I would love nothing more!

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.

VY speaking right now

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.

Band?

I thought he said fans.

by afaeguy on Aug 30, 2008 5:48 PM CDT up 0 recs

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?
