So sad. Good guy. RT @rickybassman: AP Photographer Dave Martin who had a heart attack & collapsed just after the game has passed away. RIP

Duke blew it. Need to catch the final quarter at some point, the bar TV was too fucking small to see anything.

Short article on OBrien leaving PSU.

Think you could see the shoes of the photographer, and a flash or 2 of someone trying to help him. Basically happened right as the teams went onto the field to shake hands.

Sounds like he died almost instantly.

O'Brien vs O'Leary is no more in Ireland.

PSU should be required to hire another Irish coach.

Anyway la fiesta en espanol! Flight in about 4 hours to Phoenix.

Edit: Crazy about the AP reporter. You can see people immediately rush to him. Wow....

 

[JCX]

Too hyped to sleep. Feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

 

[Lonestar]

last bit before I go to sleep, but this is one of his last photo's before he died.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Happy New Year everyone!

Embarked on our 3 o' clock AM drive through the desert. Haven't slept in days. Feel incredible.

“You can print this: You can print that I don’t really give a ---- what the ‘Paterno people’ think about what I do with this program. I’ve done everything I can to show respect to Coach Paterno. Everything in my power. So I could really care less about what the Paterno faction of people, or whatever you call them, think about what I do with the program. I’m tired of it.

Always best to be the person replacing the guy that replaced the legend.

 

[jjasper]

Damn I read this page from bottom to top like a normal person and thought that Kevin Sumlin died for a second.

This snow in Chicago is throwing me off. So many stares because I'm walking around the airport in flip flops.

This attendance at the Gator Bowl is worse than a Jaguars game.

DE Noah Spence has been handed a three game suspension for a violation of Big Ten rules.


welp. What would it be? Just a B1G rule, and hes an academic AA, so strange

 

[bucknuticus]

Another thing, how was everyone new year? I woke up to this..... no one has any idea how it happened.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Man, this Georgia-Nebraska game is unfortunate in its existence. This couldn't possibly be more boring and meandering.

 

[Enron]

Mark Richt fucking sucks. YEAH WE DONT NEED A SPECIAL TEAMS COACH. Get fucked, dumbass Richt.

 

[Pumpkin King]

an AP photographer at the game collapsed from a heart attack, and died.

Damn, tragic news.

 

[bucknuticus]

Spence's suspension is due to the use of an "unapproved dietary supplement" per @TIM_MAYsports



hmmmmmm

 

[Subitai]

Got back from church and calling the folks.

Happy News Years CFB Gaf!


Now to enjoy the annual revenge of the south trio of games where the SEC dismantles the B1G. =)

for the third year in a row I drank too much and puked my guts out on new year's.

From what I understand a lot of Nebraska fans wanted to go to Arizona and play K-State.

 

[bucknuticus]

Well who wants to go to Jacksonville?

 

[squicken]

0.o JJ Watt has a brother as Wisky?

 

[Chumly]

From what I understand a lot of Nebraska fans wanted to go to Arizona and play K-State.

Well why would they want to go to Jacksonville and play Georgia again. I couldn't muster any excitement for this game.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Georgia sucks.

 

[truly101]

So, I've getting over the game itself and putting the season in perspective, hard to stay too depressed about it. I am salty about the fucking media coverage turning the game into Johnny Football's miraculous comeback against team X. He didn't win the game, but he might as well have, and it could have been against anyone, who cares.

 

[Tamanon]

That was a pretty looking TD that Shaw threw.

 

[eznark]

Stave'd

He didn't seal the deal, that was the defense, crazy enough. But he is the reason they scored enough to catch up.

 

[GhaleonEB]

So I just tuned into the Capital One bowl.

Just in time to see an interception off a pass aimed a the turf but which bounced off someone's heel. Next play was a laser to the endzone.

Amazing start.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

ESPN bottom line saying Bridgewater going pro, to no one's surprise.

 

[Lonestar]

LOLCOCKS

 

[Tamanon]

Wow, that's some terrible coverage for South Carolina. 4 guys around and still a huge hole to throw to.

 

[FelixOrion]

Well, Nebraska, I'm surprised we're even up, boys. Kinda a messy game on both sides so far.

 

[Jhriad]

It was close for a while last year too.

 

[bucknuticus]

Lets remember the last time LSU/Iowa played.

Blackshirts coming through!

true true

 

[Lonestar]

insane catch

 

[Tamanon]

Wow at that catch. Beautiful timing.

 

[Alcibiades]

Ha I didn't quite get it at first then I scrolled bottom to top. I laughed out loud crying for a few moments. Sorry I do feel bad about the photographer but I found the misinterpretaion of post hilarious.

I hate it as a fan. I never watch Sportscenter, but after the game, it was all they talked about. And they didn't say the Aggies won, or even Manziel, it was "Johnny". Like he won the game himself, and using just his first name made it worse.

I think they do it on purpose. They know it makes him hated even more, which is good for them, b/c they will be hyping him all through the draft process and pro career. People will want him to fail or succeed, but few will be indifferent. They can go overboard on his successes, call him a goat when he fails, while doing whatever they can to make him polarizing

 

[jakncoke]

holy shit what

 

[Tamanon]

TRICKERATION! THE OBC STILL GOT IT!

 

[pxleyes]

Sure, why not? Nice place by the OBC.

 

[impirius]

Shaw deserves that addition to his career highlight reel. Beautiful!
