Gameday Tweets – ESPN Gameday/Bye Week

You may or may not know that I was lucky(?) enough to get media passes (thanks to @MsPotts_ESPN) for the ESPN Gameday set yesterday. As you'll see from some of the pictures, I was literally on the stage. Well, I was on a small platform connected to the stage. Let's just say that if I wanted to throw something at Corso, it wouldn't have taken much more than an underhanded toss.

Before/During ESPN Gameday:

• It's still dark outside... and I'm driving to Tuscaloosa... the things I do for you people.
• We have arrived in Hell. First thing I see is an Auburn fan giving me a #1. We own this place.
• Well I knew I'd be close, but... twitpic.com/7b2ymj. @CollegeGameDay
• On a mission to take out the guy with the Mizzou flag. #forthegoodoftheSEC
• EA, DP, UM: twitpic.com/7b32wn. #gameday
• LSU Who? twitpic.com/7b36pu
• Bear Bryant is pissed at the view that he was given at @CollegeGameDay. twitpic.com/7b38mt
• Corso is looking for something: twitpic.com/7b3dnj. #gameday
• Herbstreit has a throat thing going on. #hardhittingfacts
• Des uses an old school hard briefcase and knows all the words to "Back in Black." #gameday
• Anybody see the "Aubs Eat Boogers" sign? Alabama doesn't worry about Auburn.
• Liberty, Washington State, North Dakota, Missouri, North Carolina State all represented with signs/flags here. #gameday
• Is that @radiofreeblake with the Mountain Brook/Hoover score sign? #gameday
• Everybody switch it to @CollegeGameDay. God is about to be on your televisions.
• LSU fans chanting "F U Saban." #gameday
• Outside Jordan-Hare West... (@ ESPN College Gameday w/ 13 others) [pic]: 4sq.com/rrSROt
• Chizik and Lutzie got some nice boos when they can up on the screen. I wonder why they don't like them around here... #gameday
• Brian Wilson is today's guest picker. From what I just heard, must watch. #gameday
• Erin Andrews wearing her blue, Auburn blue. #gameday
• Two LSU fans with shirts that say "Sup Big Girl, Roll Tide." #gameday
• Sign states "It takes less than you think to bring home a Heisman." Trying to see if it's Mark Ingram holding it. #gameday
• Brian Wilson is about to make this place explode. #gameday
• The strangest looking Gameday set ever? twitpic.com/7b4s88
• Huge "FIRE CRAIG JAMES" sign just went up. ESPN guys are up in arms . #gameday
• I'm outta here. Going home to prepare for the end if time. #gameday

After ESPN Gameday:

• Forgot to mention... stage manager gave Herbstreit a roll of toilet paper before picks. Herbie looked at him stunned, "Auburn does that."
• I don't know why @BeautifulBlogle hasn't told y'all that she got to tinkle on the @CollegeGameDay bus yet.
• It's not every day you run into Ryan Leaf... in Tuscaloosa... just hanging around the @CollegeGameDay set. twitpic.com/7b6ku3
• Report from buddy at Bryant-Denny: "Waiting to get in the student section. Students chanting f--- Auburn." ...before playing LSU.
• Just realized that I inadvertently wore a yellow shirt today. I guess that's my pick for tonight. #SUPERBOWLTOENDALLWORLDHUNGER
• I saw the Tiger head in a bag inside the Gameday bus an hour before the picks, and was sworn to secrecy. It was the hardest hour of my life.
• I took a picture of this from another angle. twitpic.com/7b93rq WE @ErinAndrews yfrog.com/ob5xwej
• I let @davidpollack47 and his short tie take a picture with me and @BeautifulBlogle today: twitpic.com/7b98to. #gameday
• Here we go tweeps... Where were YOU at 7 pm on November 5th, 2011? The world is about to be forever changed.
• I'm in the bathtub, wrapped in blankets, with a tin foil hat on. Is anybody out there?
• Well, you know what they say... 1 out of 4 ain't bad.
• Should this really be considered a great defensive football game just because it's 3-3 at the half? Are missed field goals great defense?
• WE @ImALegendKiller If the first half is any indication Auburn beating MSU 3-2 a few years ago is the 2nd greatest game of the century.
• How many of you people ended Verne's "That man just turned 60..." with "and still acts like that?"
• Funny that every person that labeled this the "GAME OF THE CENTURY" is now all "THIS IS JUST GOOD DEFENSE, GUYS!" Why must you defend it so?
• Maybe "good defense" actually means "bad opposing quarterbacks."
• Does Arkansas beating South Carolina hurt or help Auburn's resume? Arkansas loss looks better, South Carolina win lessened, or no change?
• Don't worry South Carolina, Auburn will give you back control of your own destiny next week. #thUGA
• Guys, I am very worried that this game is going to result in our next month being filled with rematch talk. #GAMEOFTHECENTURYPARTDEUX
• They were in uniform at Gameday at 8 am, 45 deg. WE @kennysmith Someone get the Alabama majorettes some clothes. They're a little shiver-y.
• Oh, the ONLY thing the SUPER BOWL TO END ALL WORLD HUNGER needs is OT.
• That guy was crying...
• Look, just don't talk so much premature trash, don't be so cocky, don't make up history, and you won't look so dumb when you lose.
• The only way a rematch would have happened is if LSU had lost by a last second field goal. Alabama can't beat them at home, so it's off.
• I think that's acceptable. WE @VarnerBeast14: @WarBlogle shall we bring up the time Alabama fans continuously made fun of Tebow for crying?
• Yep. WE @greggdoyelcbs: Furthermore, if Alabama can't beat LSU at home, it wouldn't deserve a shot on a neutral field. Fact.
• I believe I am correct with this: Alabama is now 1-6 when Gameday is on campus.
• @Culligan27 Vlog that loss.
• Caption time... bit.ly/ulfytv #crybammers
• WE @The_GBrooks Nick Saban just said Bama fans were still "All In" in his postgame press conference. What happened to "Never All In?"
• WE @KegsnEggs: A Message to a crying Alabama fan. bit.ly/t30F7f
• See... they never learn. es.pn/vgwGNt (via @Kyle_Rea)
• It's Georgia week....
• I don't know what yall are talking about, the biggest news of the night is that Auburn is 2-0 in exhibition basketball games. #improvement
• Ok, I'll call it. Today is the very rare one-and-a-half eagle. Bama loss, Auburn not loss.
• Bring it home. WDE! WE @LydiaTownsend @WarBlogle Me and my @AU_Soccer are playing for the SEC Championship title tomorrow! #wde
• Remember, @AU_Soccer plays Florida in the SEC Championship Game tomorrow on ESPNU at 2:30 CT. #wareagle
• According to the Toomer's cam, there is nobody rolling Toomer's right now, which is good because I didn't want to have to beat somebody.
• Just a reminder... @finebaum is must-listen radio on Monday.
• Went to T-Town and didn't even have to use my AK. I got to say it was a good day. #wareagle
