Saturday Night Live Blog: #9 Oklahoma State at #2 Texas Tech [Live Blogs]

The Big XII has thirteen teams in the Top 10, and this is just another night in which two of them square off on a Saturday night. The undefeated Red Raiders get their second straight prime-time big game against the once-defeated Cowboys. Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreit brand cows with their initials. What the world needs now, is jump, sweet jump.

Fourth Quarter

11:17 — Also, I don’t do this enough (or, well, ever) but we got some pretty solid hits on the bingo sheet, so here’s how we did tonight, based on what you and I saw tonight:

11:16 — Graham Harrell’s postgame interview with Salters shows great promise for whenever he’s finished with puberty. Maybe he can hire Cole Hamels’ speech coach, if that doesn’t endanger his NCAA eligibility.

11:13 — We’re under two minutes and they sneak in Obama’s playoff system advocacy.

11:12 — Someone remind me again why we need a college football playoff when we have analysts competing against each other, trying to outslobber one another all over certain one-loss teams.

11:10 — It appears every one-loss team has a marquee win over Ohio State. You keep using that word “marquee.” I do not think it means what you think it means.

Storm chasers

11:09 — And with that touchdown, the score goes to schfifty five, before the PAT.

20 56

11:06 — Oh, and Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford are Heisman hopefuls. Why don’t they just get it over with and rename the trophy “The Best Quarterback On A Top Five Team” or, a name with a bit more marketing sizzle, The Weinkecrouch.

11:05 — Graham Harrell can go back to the sidelines and try to win more Heisman support than John Parker Wilson by launching a Facebook group or whatever the shit the young kids do these days. Taylor Potts will take over for tonight as the new quarterman.

11:02 — Glimmer gone. State punts away after three not-great offensive snaps.

11:00 — Not a touchdown for Texas Tech? I’m … I’m not sure how to respond. Okie State keeps a glimmer of hope alive deep in their subcockle area with good field position.

10:59 — Lisa Salters REPORTS. It appears that the students are privy to breaking the bleachers, so in the event they bust a part of the stadium, they carry it to the top of the stadium like a drugged out punk rocker, leaving them with ample room to jump around and get down.

10:58 — Tech gets the ball back, and it should be mentioned that, with 7½ minutes left, they haven’t punted yet.

10:55 — TTU lineman Brandon Carter cleans up well:

Surf’s up, brah.

10:52 — This is just a friendly reminder from Best Buy: HD television can replace your dog. Help control the pet population by getting a flat-screen TV instead.

10:47 — Another touchdown. Which is basically:

20 49

10:44 — Hmm. That took considerably more than five plays. But this is Price Is Right rules, and I beat the ethnic gentleman who doesn’t understand our customs and said “1,000″ and the probably-a-whore college girl who said “one dollar,” so I get to play a pricing game.

10:41 — Let me close my eyes and assume Tech makes first down after first down, reading midfield after about five plays.

10:39 — Is this THE DAGGER I see before me? Darcel McBath picks off Robinson’s pass on …

Gears Of War 2 Launch

For gamers today marks the day that many have been looking forward to, the release of Gears Of War 2. Exactly two years ago today the first Gears Of War launched and went on to be a huge success. Will Gears 2 live up to the first…I think so.

Last night was the launch event for the game, which was held at lower Bay Station, the unused Bay subway station where all the movies are shot in. This was a perfect venue for event since it had bins with fake fire, flickering lights and the atmosphere was very Gears like. With ceiling tiles missing/limbering, exposed electrical wires and Gears Of War 2 on about 20 LCD HDTV’s it made it feel like you were walking in a map featured on Gears that was destroyed by locusts.

The game has been improved in many ways. Some of the improvements include an update to the Unreal Engine 3 which added graphics that are a lot more sharp and crisp.

During the event they had a few solo campaigns going with a huge 10 person multiplayer game going. There were a number of chainsaw attacks that not only drew large crowds around the station but also exerted some screams/yells of joy for winning the battle. I had the opportunity to play a bit of the solo campaign and got through a couple of checkpoints. What I noticed so far is that there is a lot more gore involved in Gears 2 which will definitely add to the excitement of the game. A few new features were added to the sequel that weren’t present in the first Gears. The first is the shield effect. This feature allows you to pick up the corpse of an enemy and use their body as your shield. I can see this being useful during a battle with a tone of locusts.

The second new feature allows you to be recovered if you’ve been shot and are near to death. If you remember during the first Gears if one of your team mates got injured you were allowed walk over to them and to save them, well this feature is the same thing but now it works for the player playing the game. For instance if you happen to get shot a number of times and are near death you can crawl to a safe spot and wait for one of your Delta Squad members to save you. The key though is to crawl quickly because if your enemy finds you down and crawling I can guarantee that you’ll get your head smashed into the ground.

Majestic 12

The third isn’t as much as a feature as it is an addition. The addition of new characters, enemies, and weapons will definitely make the story line interesting and more enjoyable. Being a fan of the first Gears there is no doubt that Gears Of War 2 will be a hit and will be a must have for the holiday season.

Check out some pictures of the launch event last night.
