Top notch thread.

That's Ix/Francesa/Emerick for you. Low effort. Can't even be bothered to state when/where/who it involves.

10PM EST on ESPN between Cal and Hawaii.

Well yeah, there's no other way to get 236,000 posts in a little less than 8 years.

holy theres a football game tonight haha

 

[rangerssharks414]

Onside kick! Nice try, haha.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I don't think the announcers are actually there...

 

[EC09]

They have a sideline reporter there. Why wouldn't the announcers be there? What do you think this is, NBC's coverage of the Olympics?

The play by play guy referred to Australia as "there" rather than "here", so that leads me to believe that they aren't in Australia.

 

[EC09]

Ah, I have it on mute and am listening to baseball, so I didn't hear that.

 

[BigMac1212]

Maybe ESPN is in more trouble than we though.

 

[EC09]

Ah good, was beginning to think this game would be a joke after that start.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Maybe they are paying too much for the playoffs they couldn't afford sending anyone to Sydney. It's a shame. I'm sure it's nice there this time of year.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Haha, the Cal receiver just did the Aussie Rules Football goal signal.

 

[DaveG]

That was awesome.

 

[EC09]

Wow. This is an incredible display thus far.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Cal is pulling away.

 

[GKJ]

Wish that was on earlier, but of course that would defeat the purpose of having the game in Australia, unless it was a night game there.

Regardless, this is such a glorious week. Some very good Week 1 matchups, can't wait to take it all in

SYDNEY — Davis Webb threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score in a sensational debut for California, leading the Bears to a 51-31 win over Hawaii on Saturday in college football’s season opener at Sydney’s Olympic stadium.

Khalfani Muhammad had 94 yards rushing and one touchdown, and Chad Hansen had 14 receptions for 160 yards and two scores to help Cal win the game played Down Under as a tourism initiative and to increase awareness of “gridiron” in the country.

“Phenomenal, I was energetic,” Muhammad said of his 34-yard TD run in the second minute of the game. “My first one, and it’s special, of course.”

Webb said it was a “very good victory” in his first game with Cal, but praised his offensive line and Hansen, who clicked with his quarterback from early on.

“As soon as Davis showed up at Cal, we just had a connection,” Hansen said.

It was so strange being at a bar at 2am and seeing live, daytime college football.

Returning next week by popular demand......the weekly Corso Headgear Selection Report, featuring my choice for "Sign of the Week", who the Celebrity Picker is & who he/she picked & of course which headgear Lee donned & his antics before/during & after!

We must enjoy this national treasure for as long as we can.

 

[EC09]

So, like, did anyone get reactions from the Australians? What did they think of that offensive showdown?

I could be wrong, but I thought last year was Corso's last year on Gameday?

 

[EC09]

No. Corso will likely continue until death.

Or he drops another f-bomb.

The announcers were not at the game last night...
