"Anyone up for drinking every time the bands are shown?"

Just reading that made my liver spasm.

as a Redskins fan, pretty cool to see John Riggins as part of the pregame and halftime coverage tonight. He's a pretty funny guy too. I'm used to seeing him on the Redskins Report show here locally in the DC area and I think he went to Kansas too so I'm guessing thats why he's there tonight

Do they talk about the football game in the pre-game?
I never thought I'd yern for espn's 5 hours of pre-game, where they actually analyze the game.

If Thom Brennaman, Barry Alvarez, and Terry Donahue were all in a room, and you had a gun with one bullet, who would you shoot first?

Myself.

rt wins.

Kenny and Barry look like human versions of Bert and Ernie.

Kat McPhee ain't no Bonerama!

+1 rt. That made me laugh out loud.

On a side note, I have nothing better to do, so will accept your 'drink everytime they show the band' challenge AA. Let's see how coherent my posts are by the end of the game...

Enough with all of the pregame bullshit, for God's sake. Just show the fucking game.

Okay Smitty....I'm with you for at least a half.

I usually don't mind Kenny Albert and Moose, we'll see how tonight turns out with Barry Alvarez.

Hey, Barry Alvarez dressed as an orange for this game!

God he was not meant for television.

I like the red uni's for KU.

I have VT -4 (latest line) in the game. Defense and special teams...

I like VT by 6 for some reason.

What exactly are 'Beach Activities?'

I'm really hoping for a competitive game, but think this good get ugly if KU doesn't hang early...

Band!

Both bands....drink twice.

Band again!

This could be a short night...

How come Ore is suspended for the 1st quarter? Anyone?

Mike Golic is in those incessant NutraSystem commercials, correct?
So why is he (and his Metrosexual radio parter) doing voice-overs for a Domino's commercial?

anytime the VT o-line feels like blocking someone, it's fine with me...

play artist michael bolton

I just caught myself whistling the Oklahoma band tune thing from last night. Kill me now...

KU Band!

Back to back bands.

I didn't want to be sober tonight anyway...

My band count is at 5....someone else keep a running total and let's see how close we are at the end of the night.

Band drink....KU again. That's 6.

Ore was suspended for the 1st quarter because he was late for a team meeting

Band again...that's 7.

I'm not sure i can count high enough to keep that running total...

And Again!

I don't want ABC to ever get the rights to the BCS now that Keith Jackson has left, what do you think about CBS?

The problem is that Fox has a seems to feel that they should show a crowd shot after every play. They basically took the shit they suck at in baseball and put it into their football coverage

Okay 8....the VT band wasn't even playing on that one. I don't think I can play this game more than a quarter.

Where's the Jenn Sterger of KU or VT? They can't find a token hot chick to cut to all the time?

This is f'n stupid. Why does FOX show the band when they're idle? I'll be passed out by the half.

Am I the only one that thinks Barry shouldn't be doing any of this Fox stuff??

I mean, he IS employeed by the University of Wisconsin as the Athletic Director.

Okay....no more drinking for the band thing. I don't want any lawsuits. I'll keep a tally and see if they can beat last night's total.

This sucks, FOX makes me long for ESPN to cover this.


AA, you don't want any deaths.

That's 9.

I'm gonna keep going strong.

Until at least the 2nd quarter...

I'm up to 11.

That's 10.

The wide receiver has a touchdown! And that's 11.

I'm up to 19 on the band count.

Maybe they should stick to their running qb running, instead of 'going against tendencies' and throwing pick 6's...

High stepping into the endzone...penalty. This is stupid.

You guys are slow......11 Kansas, 3 VT.

And since when is high stepping a penalty.

12.

Okay....everyone keep their own band count and we'll average them at the end of the game.

Fox needs to follow ABC's production plan. Instead of showing a band and crowd shot every five seconds, they show a cheerleader upskirt everytime one jumps.

I'm predicting:

Kansas band 56 VT 7

I'm at 15. Also, classy cheerleader shot there FOX.

It's 20 if you count pre-game.

Hyman is a little rusty today.

That's 13

Ahhh....pregame. Good work soldier.

21...

i'm killing beers at record paces with these bad shots...

"We had a blitz on that particular play on defense"

As opposed to all those offensive blitzes you see so much.

15

Band!

Joe Buck Bud light Goodness!

Brains turned off.

Play Artist.....Your Mom.

23.

I did a drinking game with Austin Powers 2 once in college where i did a shot of Admiral Nelson (Captain Morgan knock off) everytime someone said the word shag or some derivation of it.

I was throwing up 30 minutes in, and passed out 45 minutes in. Not good times...

This drinking with band shots is going that direction...

Great post about Jimmy being scared of the flyover AA, i thought that was funny also..

I've got 18 not counting pregame.....wait 19. There's VT.

17.

band!

Again, not even playing

18.

One of each there....and the Kansas band was just standing there. Good stuff.

We are on pace to shatter last nights 58 band shots...

19.

Glennon, throw the frickin football away.

20.

At this point they're just taunting us.

21.

Both bands again.

Does band standing around doing some weird dance thing count?

I counted 21 starting from the 11:51 mark of the 1st, how many did I miss before that?

Am i the only one still attempting to keep up drinking with the bands?

Holy Mangino! We're on pace for 84 bandshots!

They are being deliberate now. This is a joke, and I'm not interested in the game anymore because my lack of ADHD will not allow me to focus on THE GAME!

Barry Alvarez is dangerously reaching Emmitt Smith status when he speaks.

26 by my count.


Anyone else wonder if Mangina ripped Talib like he ripped that kid for celebrating earlier in the year?

Okay I've got 24 plus Corbin's 5 in the pregame. Let's all start the 2nd quarter with 29.

This is blowing my mind.

Doug Flutie says Talib should be benched from the game.

Oh...btw.....

No, I think Glennon would like to let that ball go Daryl. sheesh

Hey, Tech...the WHITE jersey's!!! Save yourself the pain...one of the BEST play-by-play guys (Dave Sims) on radio is handling it on XM tonight.

They are giving us the caucuses, this is mind boggling.

32.

33 for the Va. Tech head shots.

Ohh, band shot from behind. A twist.

Honestly asking... Is Drew Brees anywhere near the size of Flutie? He hasn't look like a short guy when I've seen him.

34.

We may break this thing before halftime.

35.

By the way, when did we decide as a nation to let Iowa and New Hampshire decide our presidential candidates?

"Coach Mangione......Mangino" - Barry Alvarez


36.

Nice panning action there. This is unbelievable!

What kind of camera thing was that?


37.

Where the hell was the camera going on that FG.....

And KU Band....DRINK!

Iowa has had the first caucus for as long as i can remember (I was born and raised there), even when NH tried to move their's earlier to be the first iowa countered. It's actually a big deal in iowa...

Where did the ball go? The camera shot made me think it started ascending for a second time.

Okay, so last night they showed the OU band 58 times. Here's my drinking game: Chug a beer everytime they show that same flatchested Kansas chearleader

I couldn't tell if i was drunk or that camera action was just really weird.

Good we're on the same page now.

On January 11th, Uwe Boll molests yet another video game franchise by turning it into an incredibly crappy movie.

Does showing the band in montages count?

Why can't they just show the cheerleaders everytime they want to show the band?

No....replays and montages are out.

Thank god

38. Pathetic.

39.

VT Band for no reason whatsoever....followed by the KU band next play.

Cheerleader! Yey!

New Hampshire had a primary before anyone even knew how to spell caucus.

Alvarez, speak English, if you want to speak another language, be my guest.

Un-fucking-canny.

This is like the opposite of the Musberger drinking game, when he stopped saying things like 'Whoa Pardner' because he knew it was a drinking game.

I think Fox is trying to kill us...

This broadcast sucks caucus.

History lesson, via Wikipedia: Iowa has held the first caucus in the nation since 1972. And according to a strange floating picture on the site, Obama won...

That was the most useless fact I've heard all day Kenny.

41.

Brandywine!!!

... Of course he's at VT instead of UMD.

Obama winning the Demo Cauc and VT Band....Drink!

Don't start with me about MD recruiting Chase.

42.

They band isn't even doing anything!!!!!!!

F U Fox producers and your band shots... I didn't need to be productive at work tomorrow anyway.

Does that include basketball recruiting?

This is not fair...I picked Va. Tech.

43, touchdown Kansas, that may be game over.

44 of Kansas again.

Especially Basketball recruiting.

Are any BCS games this year going to be competitive?

Of course it includes basketball...

Rudy Gay, Kevin Durant... I'm stopping there because I just want to keep drinking and not think about it.

Speaking of which, Maryland Nighthawks season opener Saturday. Tamir Goodman live!

Speaking of Brent, he is doing the Ohio State-Illinois game tonight. Illinois is really shitty this year.

It all started with Louis Bullocks Chase.

Game Summary:

44 times they've shown the bands.

Dammit....I knew I should have picked Kansas +4....talked myself out of it. Oh well.

VT Band!

45.

I'm drinking any time FOX shows something other than the field of play. :)

Yeah, those are just always the ones that jump into my mind right away.

47.

Both

Both Bands.

48?

I'm beginning to think the 58 total from last night was wrong.

Face mask.

Nope....I have 47 Mookie. You're good.

49.

4 yards a carry on this drive. Why would VT even attempt to throw?

okay then, 48.

The 58 total might've just been from the second half.

get ready for a VT band shot

49.

KU band cheering for D, then VT band after TD

Hey KU: VT is running up the middle. EVERY PLAY. You might want to, i don't know, try to stop it?

Whoa wait...that was the unprecedented KU Band playing, VT Band doing nothing, KU band stopping playing combo.

I feel like I'm playing Street Fighter.

I feel like i'm drunk. I am not playing this game in the 2nd half...

They are going to run the clock out so at the half

Does ZZ Top count as a band?

damn is right... Did anyone last the first half with me?

Did Riggins play this drinking game too? He's a professional though so he may not have any eligibility in this college game.

Was that David Letterman and Conan O'Brien in the car with ZZ Top's drummer?

I'm with you Smitty, but I don't know how much more I can last with work tomorrow. It'll be a good night's rest for sure.

Whoa titties.

How many million times do you think ZZ Top has performed this song? I like the nice mix Fox has on the sound too.

ZZ Topp? Really? Was The Band busy? These geezers have been getting laid of their brand of shitty redneck rock for waaaayyyyy too long.

Smitty Lite, I'm still here w/ u...

Wait a minute. They drag those three dudes out of their crypt for one lousy song. Maybe they'll at least put them in the stands to play fight songs during the 2nd half.

Alright Hokies! Time to do something!!!

They don't even know they are on?! This is worse than the Sugar Bowl, and someone in the band is down.

This production is smooooooth. Frozen images and dead air is a must in any national football broadcast.

nice shot of a show for 10 seconds with voice-overs

Wait... What the hell just happened there?

Seemless transitions.

shoe that is not show sorry.

It isn't Bonerama that is down is it? There are some really bad puns in that last sentence. Enjoy.

This might be one of the worst productions I have ever seen.

I'm still with you... Though I've only been drinking every other for a while, since we're outta beer and I'm drinking 100 proof SoCo.
