Our beloved Tribe take on some lame Catholics from Villanova tonight in Villanova at a dumpy Villanova Stadium smack in the middle of their pasty campus.
I got nothings. Somebody bring this baby home.

Looks like TR fell over, Foster's oilcan in hand, on the train ride home. We've got your back, big fella. In this the 374th post of 2009, we celebrate both Whitney's epic recap of the Cauc Hop's final round and William & Mary's quest for Chattanooga. And in true G:TB spirit, we do both things half-assed and hurried.
It's supposed to be 27 degrees on the field at kickoff. Fact: Jimmye Laycock's never lost a game played in December at night on a Friday in Philadelphia in sub-30-degree temperatures. I like our chances. Additional fact: the entire G:TB staff will be ensconced in our slippers, cozied up in front of our fireplaces while our friends suffer in the City of Brotherly Love. These friends are better people than we, though not smarter. It is for their sake, Jimmye, that we beseech you and your boys to run as fast as the wind.
See you all in the comments at 8:00. And Godspeed, TR. May you awake before the train reaches Ronkonkoma. (Note: train may not be headed anywhere near Ronkonkoma. I just enjoy typing and saying Ronkonkoma.)

Fuck
ReplyDeletethat is a fucking moronic ending
ReplyDeletemo ron ic
ReplyDeleteSo much for going to Chattanooga, which was going to be very difficult to pull off, anyway.
ReplyDeleteYum... Sour grapes.
Tremendous tactical error by Laycocke. If he let them score, we would've gotten the ball back with a minute left, down 8.
ReplyDeleteDumb ass announcers didn't even get excited about the point.
At least they didn't cover.
somebody told us a few weeks ago that the tribe special teams would cost us at some point. someone punch that guy.
ReplyDeleteI just punched him.
ReplyDeleteDammit. And my sister is gloating...
ReplyDeletealright, tony shaver. your turn.
ReplyDeleterick reilly is talking out if his ass about tiger. dude is just making shit up out of whole cloth.
ReplyDeleteTim Finchem needs to shut the fuck up and make sure Happy doesn't fuck up Shooter's game this week
ReplyDeleteAsking Mike Tirico what he tinks of this Tiger thing is like asking Oj if Phil Spector is innocent
ReplyDeleteSo Digger loaned Brian Kelly a tie?
ReplyDeletewow, that's a shit schedule for notre dame next year
ReplyDeletefucking tribe
ReplyDeleteTR, the Knicks have won 5 in a row and are now 8-15...I'm just saying...
ReplyDeleteRooting for this team is like signing up for getting punched in the nuts. Over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone just saw what John Wall did. Super. Freak.
ReplyDeleteI just want to go on record and say I'm still really proud of the Tribe footballers and I'm counting on the Tribe hoops team to have an equally exciting playoff run this year.
ReplyDeleteBoy, this Shlara is an unbeat lady.
ReplyDeleteYeah, good effort tribe. It was fun while it lasted - nice to see them on the duece last night and hope to see watch more tribe bball.
T-minus 30 min to a handful of morons meeting at a DC bar to kick off this year's Santa Stumble...OJ Claus is excited.
ReplyDeleteCan't watch football today (Army-Navy, Montana-Appy State) and not end up coming back to a feeling of frustrated with the Tribe result last night.
ReplyDeleteCan't read the paper -- for the first time all year, the Tribe gets a headline atop the Sports section in the local ragsheet. (When they lose... thanks, VA Pilot.)
And yet, to be this disappointed is to have ridden out a stellar season. Here's to W&M risking this much disappointment by continuing to raise our hopes exponentially. Nice work, Wrens.
As cool as I think Ndamukong Suh winning the Heisman would be, I find the non-stop praise of him this week to be somewhat disingenuous. None (okay, maybe 5%) of these sportswriters/talking heads were talking about him before last week. Shit, I'm willing to bet that plenty of them never even watched him for a full game. It's not his fault, mind you. It just goes to show how little attention most of these guys actually pay to ALL of college football and what a joke the Heisman voting is.
ReplyDeleteCan somebody explain to me why the stadium where the Montana Grizzlies play is called Washington Grizzly Stadium?
ReplyDeleteStumble going well so far...
ReplyDeleteApparently Gillette will pull their Tiger Woods ads. The Tag Heuer billboard on the NJ side of the Lincoln Tunnel now features Maria Sharapova instead of Woods. On top of everything else, Tiger's gonna lose a shitload of money. I don't feel sorry for him one bit though.
ReplyDeleteLet's get ready to Stummmmble. Pics please - that would make an excellent day of Gmas.
ReplyDeleteMark, I think they were founded by a bear.
ReplyDeleteThis Montana crowd is in stark contrast to Nova's crowd yesterday. The stadium is full, it's roughly 15 degrees colder and the stadium is really loud.
Holy crap that was a nice catch for Montana to go up with 90 secs left.
Stumble - have fun guys. I expect a drunk dial from someone at some point very late into the evening. Note I said "expect", not "want"
I get it, the bear's name was Washington Grizzly. One of those upper crust bears.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen anyone as touched to win the Heisman as Mark Ingram is. Good for him...pussy.
ReplyDeleteStumbling....still...who won Heisman?
ReplyDeleteMark Ingram was really overwhelmed by his win. Made me like him more. He also had one of the stronger suits. Gerhart was a mess with a charcoal suit and a deeper charcoal vest. Just didn't work.
ReplyDeleteI am thoroughly enjoying The U. I had no idea that Luke Skywalker was also called Uncle Luke.
ReplyDeleteBernie Kosar is a sloppy mess. Looks and sounds like he had a stroke and then gained 40 lbs.
And they should do a 30 for 30 on the epic fall of Don Criqui. That guy was the man on NBC before Costas. He did all the big NCAA games and he did the epic Chargers-Dolphins playoff game in the Super Bowl XVI year. How did Enberg hold on for so long and Criqui disappear?
The U was very good. I didn't learn anything i didn't already know and it was still captivating.
ReplyDeleteThey could a second doc on the downfall and subsequent restoration of the program (93-00) and that would be terrific too.
Speaking of Costas, now that MLB Network has him AND Gammons in tow, I'm not sure why I'll need to watch ESPN at all next summer.
ReplyDeleteI guess maybe World Cup coverage, but won't the SoccerNet channel do a better job?
