Dear Leader said...: echooooo; 8:06 PM
AUMom said...: 9 minutes of possession.

53 yards.

3 points.; 8:06 PM
Dear Leader said...: is someone playing a joke on me..; 8:06 PM
Unknown said...: Bama is playing like there up against Louisiana Monroe or something.; 8:07 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: We haven't seen the end of Glen Coffee just yet ...; 8:07 PM
Kathy said...: That poor Bama fan looked pitiful.; 8:07 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: If you like dramas, you need to see "Doubt."

Out-friggin-standing movie.; 8:07 PM
Jet said...: This is as tasty as a cafe au lait and a order of beignets.; 8:08 PM
Spongeworthy said...: yep. she spent her Christmas money to see the Tahd; 8:08 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Big possession for Utes.; 8:09 PM
Monica said...: LOL Sponge.

So many of my friends are at this game as a Christmas gift.; 8:09 PM
Anonymous said...: A Bama fan looking pitiful is not poor....it's great.; 8:09 PM
Monica said...: Amen Whoopie.; 8:09 PM
Kathy said...: Lots of my family down there. I'm sure they are in a state of shock right now.; 8:09 PM
Unknown said...: Okay, got to have some priorities here. Which you would rather see?

A) Bama give up 42 points in the first half?

B) JPW sacked another 4 times in the first half?

C) Nick Saban's lovely face.

D) All of the above.; 8:10 PM
Monica said...: Late hit?; 8:10 PM
AUMom said...: The Utes are not that big but it takes at least two Bammers to bring them down.; 8:10 PM
Dear Leader said...: I need to get me another Taedonggang... anyone want one...; 8:10 PM
Kathy said...: D; 8:10 PM
AUMom said...: D; 8:10 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Hope Malzahn turns us into Tiger Utes.; 8:10 PM
Monica said...: They are just wicked fast and it's fun to watch.; 8:10 PM
Jet said...: Steve ...

D, baby, D.; 8:10 PM
Kathy said...: Uh oh. 1st sack.; 8:11 PM
Monica said...: That sounds illegal, Leader.; 8:11 PM
Dear Leader said...: the utes want it more... they have something to prove... Heck I thought the announcer was going to propose to $aban during the pregame .. they were blowing so much sunshine up bamas arse...; 8:11 PM
Kathy said...: Is it too much to ask for Utah to score on every possession?; 8:12 PM
Dear Leader said...: One of the few things I allow in my beloved country...; 8:12 PM
Monica said...: That announcer in 2nd chair is a bama luvah fo sho.; 8:12 PM
Kathy said...: Fake punt.; 8:12 PM
AUMom said...: Fraid so, Kathy; 8:12 PM
Dear Leader said...: Kathy,

if only dreams did come true...; 8:13 PM
Monica said...: lol Kathy - I don't think that's too much to ask; 8:13 PM
Spongeworthy said...: bama's adjusted w/ nickle backs to counter utes speed.; 8:13 PM
Kathy said...: Let's sack JPW a few more times.; 8:13 PM
Monica said...: It's time for the Utes to counter by spreading nail strips on the field.; 8:14 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Hey, was it me or did the Ute punter not look like the jock kid from Saved By The Bell?

And I never heard the answer - What's a UTE?; 8:15 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Hate to say it. Bama scores TD here, they are back in the game. Utes need to go no huddle fast again.; 8:15 PM
Jet said...: Monica ... that's a brilliant idea.; 8:15 PM
Dear Leader said...: how bad would it be for bama if they lose considering Ole piss, Kent-tuk-e and Vandy won...; 8:15 PM
Spongeworthy said...: based on the helmet, looks like a UTE in a kind of injun.; 8:16 PM
Monica said...: Why did Leigh Tiffin's parents use the feminine spelling for their son's name?; 8:16 PM
Kathy said...: ute = a member of the Shoshonean people of Utah and Colorado and New Mexico; 8:16 PM
Dear Leader said...: I wonder why they stopped the speed game...????; 8:16 PM
Jet said...: 'cause his dad's a kicker ... and he knew his son would be too.; 8:17 PM
Monica said...: See, Jet - Monica should be the new DC.; 8:17 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: My wife's name is Leigh Ann and she said the SAME EXCAT THING --- GAY.

Liberache' Gay.; 8:17 PM
Dear Leader said...: kathy,

if you could answer that question you have not had enough to drink...

go get your self a Taedonggang (big clue hotties); 8:18 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Looks like the initial pregame energy is gone from the utes. down to big man on big man now.; 8:18 PM
Unknown said...: They couldn't figure out how to spell Lee?; 8:18 PM
Kathy said...: Crap. Number 12 lost Julio.; 8:18 PM
Monica said...: This won't be nearly as fun if bama starts winning.; 8:19 PM
Unknown said...: The problem I see with Utah is they keep scoring so quickly, their defense doesn't get a lot of rest. It could cost them later on.; 8:20 PM
Kathy said...: Good defense there!; 8:20 PM
Monica said...: Very nice D.; 8:20 PM
AUMom said...: Leigh is probably his mama's maiden name. That is pretty standard for the Shoals; 8:20 PM
Spongeworthy said...: man up utes. utes will need to score each possession. Make it a track meet.; 8:20 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Weehoo!!! I am enjoying the Sugah Bowl!!; 8:20 PM
Jet said...: Somebody call the Bammers a waaambulance.; 8:21 PM
Kathy said...: Ingram getting fired up.; 8:21 PM
Monica said...: Ingram had a little roid rush there.; 8:21 PM
Jet said...: Jet is my mother's maiden name. Of course, it's a good name.; 8:21 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: At least it is fun while it's lasting....did ya'll see that girl and what did she say?; 8:22 PM
Jet said...: Nice defensive scheme there, kids.; 8:22 PM
AUMom said...: Now I believe we have #4; 8:22 PM
Unknown said...: Brody!!! Brody!!! Brody!!!; 8:22 PM
Spongeworthy said...: hate to see it. holes opening up for tahd. nother sack however.; 8:22 PM
Kathy said...: Mon, add 1 to your count!; 8:23 PM
AUMom said...: Too bad one of them didn't call it.; 8:23 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Quit fighting and get the ball!; 8:23 PM
Spongeworthy said...: big stop there. nother field goal; 8:23 PM
Spongeworthy said...: big stop there. nother field goal; 8:23 PM
Kathy said...: No good.; 8:23 PM
Jet said...: That's huge ... a lot of effort to get ...

NOTHING.; 8:23 PM
AUMom said...: Missed it.

I feel a bit better.; 8:24 PM
Monica said...: Utes have been sackalicious.

JPW a little shaken.

Leigh not so much. Utes forgiven for not getting the INT>; 8:24 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Poor Leigh......; 8:24 PM
Unknown said...: I love watching Bama get beat. It smells just like victory.; 8:24 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Didn't see earlier. Johnson out? Knee? Look bad?; 8:25 PM
AUMom said...: Got hit from behind while his leg was extended.; 8:25 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Honk if you sacked Sarah Jessica :); 8:25 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: I know we should want the SEC to look good but I just can't help it!!; 8:26 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Hope its not bad. My dislike for the tide doesn't extend to hoping players get hurt.; 8:26 PM
Monica said...: Wow 15 years at Utah??? He looks so young. He was not saying "miss it". He was saying "hook it" you goober announcer.; 8:26 PM
michael said...: hahahaha! Phase 1 of "Rival Humiliation" is well into progress.

Though I am in the minority, I hope Oklahoma takes care of Phase 2 in a similar manner.; 8:27 PM
Monica said...: c'mon utes you can do it
SCORE!
SCORE!; 8:27 PM
Jet said...: War Eagle Girl ... with all respect and affection, I reject your SEC-centric thinking.

I don't pull for Bama.; 8:27 PM
AUMom said...: He was able to limp off the field, I think.

I hope it's not bad either. Injuries are not the way anyone should have to end the season.; 8:27 PM
Monica said...: DirecTV HD RAWKS; 8:28 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: I still think I want FL to win; 8:28 PM
Monica said...: Go Gators!; 8:29 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Oh I never pull for Bama for any reason :); 8:30 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Everyone in this house is pulling for the Utes!!!; 8:30 PM
AUMom said...: Go Gators!!!

I can't wait for Tebow to go pro and I can go back to hating Florida again. I already despise Urban Meyer.

And no matter who Oklahoma is playing, I am for the other team.; 8:31 PM
Monica said...: TOTAL NET YARDS 171(U) 93(B)
Total Plays 24(U) 30(B)
Avg Gain/Play 7.1(U) 3.1(B); 8:31 PM
Dear Leader said...: hate em but gotta pull for them since they are going for all the marbles...

maybe florida 3, OK 2 would be a good score...; 8:32 PM
AUMom said...: Shazbot.; 8:32 PM
Zteven said...: Hey, everybody...

My first post, but Ive been reading for months. Cable is out here, but Im keeping up with the game thru you guys. This the best game Ive (not) seen this year!; 8:32 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Don't like UF, but can't pull for OK.

outkicked his coverage.; 8:32 PM
Monica said...: That was before the Arenas TD lol; 8:32 PM
Kathy said...: Utah needs to answer.; 8:32 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: okay that wasn't fun :(; 8:33 PM
Monica said...: Hey Steven! Welcome to the posting side of the HABOTN and WDE!; 8:33 PM
AUMom said...: Has Arenas had the ball before this?; 8:33 PM
Kathy said...: Utah needs to go back to their hurry up no huddle offense. Don't wake up the monster.; 8:33 PM
Unknown said...: I don't wish injuries on anyone. Now, if JPW gets hit so hard you see slobber flying from his mouth, that isn't an injury. That is just pure entertainment.; 8:33 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Well, now we will see about the UTES. bow up.; 8:33 PM
Monica said...: Everyone who doesn't have a completed profile and have the profile set to "available" will be sent a turrrble virus.; 8:34 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Hey Jet - - - No shyte -- my sister's middle name is Qjett.

My mom's middle is Qjett and so is my G'mother's.

I have a daughter and her's isn't BTW.

Innereinn; 8:34 PM
Jet said...: Only 2 blocks in the back to spring him.; 8:34 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: War Eagle Steven but you'll have to change your S to a Z!; 8:34 PM
Unknown said...: Steven, if you have been reading here a while you would realize that the correct spelling is Zteven.; 8:35 PM
Kathy said...: Way to fight. Close to 1st down.; 8:35 PM
Jet said...: Inv ... I was semijoking ... my real name is my mother's maiden name ... but's not Jet.

Sorry for the chain yank.; 8:35 PM
Dear Leader said...: Steven,

go find a sat dish... no one should miss this arse wupp'in....

in 40 years people will be saying where were you when Alabama .......; 8:35 PM
AUMom said...: Looked like he was hit out of bounds to me.; 8:36 PM
Monica said...: WHEW; 8:36 PM
Kathy said...: Breath now. Heavy sigh. Thought he lost that fumble.; 8:36 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I don't consider getting knocked out an injury. Slobber knockers ok. sprained ankles ok. broken ribs ok. just don't like to see joint injuries.; 8:36 PM
Monica said...: Working on the Chain Gang.; 8:36 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: You all are cracking me up ... such steadfast Utah fans!; 8:37 PM
Unknown said...: That ute runner is an idiot. Those dreadlocks are dangerous. There is no rule against tackling with the hair. I saw someone get tackled by the dreads on youtube a while back.; 8:37 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I'm getting off. The more I pull against the tide, the better they play. I'm going for the reverse jinx.; 8:37 PM
AUMom said...: And here I thought I wouldn't have a bowl team to root for.; 8:38 PM
Kathy said...: That was going no where. The d-line is pushing back the o-line now.; 8:38 PM
Kathy said...: That looks like a bad spot.; 8:39 PM
Unknown said...: Go for it Utes!!!; 8:40 PM
Monica said...: I wish I had a piece of key lime pie.; 8:40 PM
Monica said...: Why is that offsides on the O?; 8:41 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: no no no no no no no --- I knew your name wasn't -- well, unless you're mom's a hard rockin chick who was on the cutting edge in a band called the Runaways along with another chick who was sucessful later on, but I digress.

I have no idea why my g'mother's name is Qjett but unless my sis has a daughter, neither of my two girls have that name.; 8:41 PM
Kathy said...: So what's the rule there?; 8:41 PM
AUMom said...: 'Cause Bama is on Defense.; 8:41 PM
Unknown said...: Got to agree on that penalty, but it was a nice try.; 8:42 PM
Jet said...: It simulates the movement of a snap.; 8:42 PM
Monica said...: This Chris/Jets conversation is bizarre.

That was a BS call against the Utes.; 8:42 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Must be SEC refs......; 8:43 PM
Unknown said...: The offense can't do something to intentionally try to make the defense jump offsides. It is similar to getting called for the QB bobbing his head.; 8:43 PM
Monica said...: Good grief give the announcer some alone time with some hounds tooth already.; 8:44 PM
AUMom said...: It's time to sack JP again; 8:44 PM
Jet said...: Rule is you can't make a mimics a snap.; 8:44 PM
Zteven said...: Better? :); 8:44 PM
AUMom said...: Zteven, you learn quickly; 8:45 PM
Monica said...: My dog is snoring and I'm sleepy. Don't know if I'm going to make it.; 8:45 PM
Unknown said...: Looks great Zteven:); 8:45 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Tv is not in the same room so I'm having a hard time writing and watching :(; 8:46 PM
Kathy said...: Let's go defense. We need a turnover.; 8:46 PM
Kathy said...: Holding; 8:46 PM
Jet said...: nice throw, JPW ... supposed to catch that defense.; 8:46 PM
AUMom said...: What? It was an interception, not a stinking a holding call.; 8:47 PM
Kris said...: What is even worse than that call was the sorry spot the ref gave the Utah RB. I went back on the DVR and his whole body was across the line to gain. It doesn't matter where the officiating crew is from those crimson jacka***s get all the calls and spots.; 8:47 PM
Zteven said...: And the cable is BACK!! just in time for that big tease...; 8:47 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Zteven = better; 8:47 PM
Kathy said...: Julio wearing houndstooth gloves; 8:47 PM
Unknown said...: Hate to say it, but Coffee is very impressive. He runs with attitude.; 8:48 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: I'm DVR'n the game but sounds like I will enjoy myself scouting the Tahd for 2009.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UTES; 8:48 PM
AUMom said...: Kathy, surely you are kidding.; 8:48 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Still first half has been great!!; 8:49 PM
AUMom said...: Not a sack but a nice turf intro.; 8:49 PM
Unknown said...: That don't count for a Brody, but it is just as satisfying.; 8:49 PM
Monica said...: Poor Saban. I bet he has panic attacks.; 8:49 PM
Jet said...: Way to go, Utes!!!!!; 8:50 PM
AUMom said...: Poor Saban.... does not compute.; 8:50 PM
Kathy said...: This has been fun. I was really anticipating a blowout, so I'm pleasantly surprised.; 8:51 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Guys, Bowl game underdogs are ON FIRE!

Just put a dime on every Dog this bowl season and you'd rake a skillet.; 8:53 PM
Unknown said...: Yea, I thought Bama would Hawaii the Utes, but it hasn't turned out that way. It has been very entertaining so far.; 8:53 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: ZteveFC love the Brody = sack comment; 8:53 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Dude, I was at the 05 Iron Bowl and that was the best example of Tuberville-ball.

Took his foot off the gas when it sould have been 50 perts.; 8:55 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: It's been fun but I think I'll watch the second half just in case it gets interesting :)!!!!!
War Eagle!; 8:55 PM
AUMom said...: Talk about panic attacks. I couldn't help myself and jumped over to a Bama forum. Oh, my is all I have to say. There's not enough bourbon, beer, or Valium to ease this.; 8:55 PM
Monica said...: Steve is killin tonight. His road trip stimulated his funny bone.; 8:55 PM
Zteven said...: That first quarter was Thing Of Beauty. Almost as much fun as the 2004 Arkansas game.; 8:56 PM
Miller said...: why are we blog commenting the Shugah bole instead of campfiring it?; 8:57 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Luper to coach LB. That is strange.; 8:57 PM
Jet said...: The 2005 game should have been the best Auburn victory ever ... I enjoyed it ... loved it ... but it wasn't the complete devastation it should have been.; 8:57 PM
Kathy said...: AUMom, I noticed the gloves on the play at the end where Utah had the interception. Julio tackled the guy and knocked the ball out. When Julio waved his arms to signal an incompletion, I noticed the underside of his gloves are houndstooth. I just reversed my DVR to check it out.; 8:57 PM
ADP said...: Luper ... I like the hire. But - somebody explain to me why we hire a running backs coach to coach linebackers? Sometimes I'm a little slow. Somebody help me out.; 8:58 PM
Jet said...: Monica ...

I bet Saban's panic attacks have panic attacks.; 8:58 PM
Unknown said...: Cause blog commenting is so slow even I can keep up.

I still can't get over Ole Miss beating Texas Tech. Ole Miss was dead last in the SEC last season and spanks one of the Big 12 elite a year later. Now, that is something special.; 8:59 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: i thought the refs made the wrong call when the utes shifted. should have been an illegal shift as too many dudes were in motion simultaneously. just my opinion...; 8:59 PM
Monica said...: I don't like following a game and campfiring simataniously. That's just me.; 9:00 PM
tigerfan44 said...: I am with you phred. I have said I didn't think willis was great coach of our Line backers but what will he coach now.; 9:00 PM
AUMom said...: Thanks, Kathy.

I just couldn't believe that someone would actually make them.

In my defense, I haven't lived in the state for 7 years.; 9:01 PM
Unknown said...: Anyone got an idea why the Bama band has stripper feathers on their hats?; 9:01 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: love me some ole miss right now; 9:01 PM
Jet said...: Scott ... the call was right ...
it was a false start because it mimicked an actual play ... not illegal shift because the ball was never snapped.

you can move all 11 as long as it doesn't mimic a play ... and they get second for a second before the snap.; 9:01 PM
TB said...: Hey Gang just completed my 6th day here at the land of the mouse. I get to go home tomorrow. I guess dreams do come true. Go Utes!!!; 9:01 PM
Monica said...: I bet you're right, Jet.

YAY! Half time just in time for me to watch a little Most Haunted.; 9:01 PM
AUMom said...: Totally off topic for a minute, but I actually heard somebody (finally) saying that Spurrier should go.

SC never complains.; 9:02 PM
Anonymous said...: Well, this will make for an interesting opening segment one way or another.; 9:03 PM
Jet said...: What is the source for Luper as LB coach instead of RBs?; 9:03 PM
Unknown said...: Most Haunted? Is that the show where the people walk around in a dark house with a green flashlight? That is my dream job.; 9:03 PM
Kathy said...: tigerfan44, where did you read that about Luper coaching LBs?; 9:04 PM
Monica said...: Steve - the people from UK - Saturday Night Live does a great parody of Most Haunted. I LOVE this show.; 9:05 PM
Unknown said...: Wasn't Luper one of those kids on the bad news bears?; 9:05 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Kathy, Rivals.; 9:06 PM
Unknown said...: Hmm, the Ute band must go see the same stripper.; 9:06 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: i'll take your word for it, jet. but, if that is the case, i don't see how "suddenness" = mimicking a play. i do think it was a cheap ploy, but noone moved forward, so it shouldn't have been a false start (unless someone did move forward--which i didn't see). used to be limits on how many people could move at once ('course, i'm old).; 9:06 PM
tigerfan44 said...: He did coach Db's at A&M. (luper); 9:07 PM
Miller said...: Question.... regarding Luper...

Rivals has him listed as the new LB coach?!? WTF? Why did we hire a RB coach to coach LB? And what would Willis coach then?

Tell me Bryan Matthews is drunk and doesn't know what he's typing?; 9:07 PM
