Twitter roundup: Week 8 Laff Riot

The story of a season, as told through social media.

Next time you put Oregon on upset alert, Chip Kelly’s going to have his punter out there running triple-options.

In any given Oregon game you will see about six things you’ve never seen before.

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) October 19, 2012

Oregon moves so fast it just scored a touchdown quicker than the replay official could signal review of the previous near-touchdown.

— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) October 19, 2012

Classy is for dog shows. Continue being awesome, Mr. Kelly. RT @russmitchellcfb: Kelly going for it on 4th down up 43-7. Stay classy, Chippy

Man, imagine how ASU would be playing if Oregon hadn’t fired them up by painting over their A.

— Carolina March (@carolinamarch) October 19, 2012

The uniforms in the Oregon-ASU game look like something you’d see in a football movie where they couldn’t clear the rights with the NFL.

— Danger Guerrero (@DangerGuerrero) October 19, 2012

Houston offense should work on tackling. RT @siholly: #NSFW sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/… …

— Jack Moore (@jh_moore) October 19, 2012

Bryan Bennett might be best described as a “throwing speculator” more than a quarterback, yes?

— edsbs (@edsbs) October 19, 2012

Oregon’s QB needs to score his next TD while holding a spoon with an egg in it. That’s the only way he could top what he’s done so far.

— Doug (@CaptainAnnoying) October 19, 2012

It’s been 51 days since 8/30. There are 49 days to Army-Navy on 12/8. We’ve officially passed the midway point. Slow down!

— Paul Myerberg (@PaulMyerberg) October 20, 2012

Yet another tradition thrown overboard Saturday when Idaho and Louisiana Tech meet as conference rivals for the last time.

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) October 18, 2012

We may be the only team left in college football with only two possible uniform combinations…and I love it.

— Barrett Jones (@BarrettAJones) October 19, 2012

DID YOU KNOW: Dr. Pepper scholarships won by women are only redeemable at The University of Bed Bath & Beyond.

“Manziell, running around in a circle.” Such a matter-of-fact call.

— Dan Devine (@YourManDevine) October 20, 2012

I think a scrambling Johnny Manziel throwing a left handed pass directly to a DB who drops it is my favorite play ever.

— Smart Football (@smartfootball) October 20, 2012

Typo of the day: “27 yards ruching” for Johnny Manziel, which would be very crafty, indeed.

— Holly Anderson (@SIHolly) October 20, 2012

If A&M wins this game, they’re legally allowed to drive around Birmingham asking people “YOU SKEERED?” as recompense for Media Days.

— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) October 20, 2012

Really hope Kevin Sumlin enters SEC Media Days next year to footage of the questions he was asked this year

— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) October 20, 2012

LSU has managed to take a lead at halftime against Tex A&M, this despite rationing just 3 snaps to their best QB, Spencer Ware.

— Terrance Donnels (@LSUFreek) October 20, 2012

lsu’s offense is about as successful as the league of nations and not nearly as interesting

— Martin Rickman (@martinrickman) October 20, 2012

If you ever need assistance with orchestrating a coup, call Zach Mettenberger, Master of the Overthrow.

— Dawgter Feelgood (@DawgterFeelgood) October 20, 2012

“Vanderbilt mounts a nice drive, but the Tigers have the football.” You might as well say “…but this ostrich has a martini shaker.”

— Doug (@CaptainAnnoying) October 20, 2012

So does @slmandel have to now apologize for apologizing for his original “Chizik has no chance” column?

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) October 20, 2012

@brianmfloyd the song little wing is about brad wing flying away from the haters

— Martin Rickman (@martinrickman) October 20, 2012

beat em to death, shoot em to death, it’s still to death. RT @mrsam2u: LSU has no offensive firepower, yet somehow keep winning.

— Bomani Jones (@bomani_jones) October 20, 2012

I think Les Miles could ski down a mountain in an avalanche blindfolded with bear on his shoulders and emerge unscathed.

I… I don’t even… (via @lorischmidt) twitter.com/11W/status/259…

Illinois has already matched its total scoring output from last week. Also, the Illini are off this week.

— The Solid Verbal (@SolidVerbal) October 20, 2012

Defense… BCS titles… I get it, SEC fans.But no conference bylaw against entertainment value! That’s why people watch sports, right?

— Chris Fowler (@cbfowler) October 20, 2012

Sometimes Verne Lundquist saying “Oh, dear” is really the only description a play needs.

— Colin Seiler (@colinseiler) October 20, 2012

I can’t tell if Spurrier studied the replay of that overthrow a long time or if he was just admiring his retired jersey up there.

— Josh Kendall (@JoshatTheState) October 20, 2012

Scary part of #Northwestern is both Ls looked like The Win They Shouldn’t Win until the end; The Loss They Shouldn’t Lose still out there.

— Matt Repchak (@MattRepchak) October 20, 2012

Purdue has a “Devin Smith” on the roster at starting right guard. Eventually, every B1G TEN team is going to have a Devin Smith on roster.

— Vico (@ourhonordefend) October 19, 2012

Did Spurrier bench Connor Shaw for Dylan Thompson? OBC’s still got it.

— Smart Football (@smartfootball) October 20, 2012

Moments like this when we really, really need dual picture-in-picture capacity for Muschamp- and Spurrier-cams. We can do 3DTV but not this?

— Holly Anderson (@SIHolly) October 20, 2012

@siholly Gary Patterson is arguing the coin toss for OT. Tuberville is upset we no longer barter for goods. #heisoldfashioned

— Mark F. (@Calispiral) October 20, 2012

WARNING: This will create Interim HC Greg Davis. Are you sure? (Y/N) RT @edsbs: Kirk Ferentz should be fired solely for hiring Greg Davis.

— sir broosk (@celebrityhottub) October 21, 2012

@lukezim Like Chris Ault having the leading rusher in the nation and saying he “Isn’t a Nevada back yet” is the most Chris Ault thing ever

— Mr. September (@Dubsco) October 21, 2012

Remember when we thought the 3-4 was a good idea? I feel like Grantham may have Monorail-ed us. #UGAvsUK

— Tim Kelly (@tkathens) October 20, 2012

@bfeldmancbs coach Snyder gave me a handwritten letter of encouragement after last years game. Theres a reason his guys play so hard for him

— T.J. Moe (@TJMoe28) October 21, 2012

Kansas State is so good at tackling in the open field. It’s honestly beautiful.

This is USC athletic director Pat Haden. twitter.com/BrianMFloyd/st…

Rough outing for the ‘Eers so far. I haven’t seen defense this bad since West Virginia’s first half vs. Texas Tech last week.

— David Ubben (@davidubben) October 21, 2012

Al Golden is cursed with looking exactly like a husky child on his confirmation day forever.

Dooley doesn’t even waterski as well as Ron Zook.

— Rick Muscles (@RickMuscles) October 21, 2012

Y’all can we get a split screen of football coaches and pageant moms? I think the similarities will be SHOCKING.

— Kaitlin (@kaitlinwithani) October 21, 2012

@dobiest It’s all over my plate and has no sense of awareness. It even ruined my rolls chance of an award.

— Nick Arthur (@NarthurD) October 21, 2012

I like to pretend that Kansas State is a helmet sticker school and its just that Bill Snyder has never seen anything that has impressed him.

— Robert Cassidy (@Cassidy_Rob) October 20, 2012

He just has a drawer filled with thousands ofunawarded powercat helmet stickers. “Rush for 600 yards in a game and we’ll talk.”
