Game One: Michigan State vs. North Carolina
Location: Ford Field, Detroit
Start Time: 9:21PM EST (CBS)
Network and Announcers: Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg
Favorite: UNC (-8)

The Titans took care of business earlier in the day, and at around 11:30 last night in the bitter cold, the Giants did the same. Derrick Ward led a New York comeback with a career high 214 yards, and three huge runs in overtime, to setup a two yard Brandon Jacobs score....

Alrighty people, this is for all the marbles. Pammy was on a D-II game so that might have opened the door for either Danielson, Patrick or Nessler and don't forget about Musburger! That guy went off this week as he apparently took an extra shot or two before the game. Here are twenty to choose from, and your overall winner will be announced tomorrow.

As always, thanks to all of the commenters for helping get these together. You even set an AA comment record in doing so this past Saturday! Good stuff and onto the quotes....

While S2N is out galavanting through the state of California today, I (your fearless leader) will be with you for the better part of the day to finally decide this thing once and for all! Pammy is the state of Indiana (IU-Purdue), Dr. Lou will be in the studio this afternoon and your former Champ Mr. Danielson will be in the Big Easy (Ole Miss-LSU). Here's your announcing schedule for Week 13, and....let's get it on! DING!

(FYI- I mentioned putting up the caption winners today, but I think I'm going to give you all one more day to get one in. Head one post down for a chance to win a copy of EA's NCAA College Basketball '09.)

"Behind that group will be 27 seniors will take the field at Ohio stadium for the very first time today. For the very LAST time today". - Brad Nessler on tOSU's seniors (Via John)

And don't forget about Brad Nessler! With comments like that, he's get an outside shot.

"It's a great day for a pneumonia."- Brad Nessler

Isn't every day?

Oh, AA, Ole Miss-LSU is in Baton Rouge, a/k/a Death Valley. (Via James Craven)

First, Death Valley is in Clemson. Second, I know that Baton Rouge isn't New Orleans, but isn't it only about an hour away? I'm calling shenanigans on you James!

"The kids were going out there to get their healthy breakfast, most of it in liquid form. As they got fortified for this cold Football game."- Pam Ward

Now that was actually kind of funny, Pam! Good one.

"The only thing above us is the Goodyear Blimp and that thing's a mile away."- Brad Nessler (Via InterPlace)

Or about 1,000 feet above your head. I'm not even sure if a blimp could survive at over 5,000 feet off the ground. It'd be sketchy up there, that's for sure.

"I believe Bob Griese is doing the red carpet special."- Brad Nessler on the American Music Awards
"Yeah....I'll be there."- Bob Griese as sarcastic as possible

"Greg Orton came over and they slapped each other... on the palms." - Pam Ward

Hahahahahaha!

"OH, that's a Touchdown!"- Pam Ward, as the ball is in the air, only to have the pass fall incomplete (Via Abe)

Doc Walker- "I thought he should have been Caveman of the week"

"If you take away Beanie Wells' touchdown run and Terelle Pryor's touchdown pass, Ohio State has nothing."- Brad Nessler (Via Andrew)

"He is in midseason form!"- Ray Bentley on Purdue's Curtis Painter

I would hope so, considering this is the Boilermakers' last game of the season.

"You guys aren't having a domestic are you?"- Paul Maguire to Brad and Bob
"Oh, go have another cookie, Paul."- Brad Nessler

"Painter has another TD"- Pam Ward as once again the pass falls incomplete

Seriously, how many times is she going to do this? (Via Abe)

"Tom Bergeron I'm taking your job. You can call a game next week while I do Dancing With the Stars." - Brad Nessler (Via SS)

Time to move onto the afternoon games and one Michael Patrick....

Alrighty people, you've spoken and you want to talk Baseball tonight and what baby wants....baby gets. I'll be starting the live-blog around 8ish, leave your predictions and thoughts in the comments, and I'll see you later on.

I know most of you were around for S2N's live-blog, but in case you missed it, here's how things went down last night. The Rays took charge in the middle innings, and after an amazing 8th from David Price, took the ALCS....

Just a great showing by the Phils from start to finish in this Series. Tonight, with a little help from an early J-Roll homer, a few Furcal errors and some amazing pitching by Cole Hamels, the took the National League Crown. Here are your highlights....
