i can't remember what year it was but during the aughts bag of dicks had this "statue of liberty handoff" play that he went to over and over and over for 20 yards on the ground every time and of course mack didn't call time out or adjust to it at all at halftime, they had saved it for us, not shown it all, and just fucking gouged us with it

wasn't a statue of liberty handoff, just a delay draw with quentin griffin. the game you are thinking of was the 2002 game that we choked off. fucking griffin went for 248 yards in the most frustrating defensive game of that year. it really highlighted what a dropoff we'd had from 2001 to 2002 on d.

Just think…if Quinn’s first game back is ou, he’s gonna be a little rusty, plus this will be the best defense he’s probably seen so far this year….so, you can bet that ou defense will try to lay the wood on him….don’t think he can take to much abuse at this stage.

while it would be my strong preference that quinn was healthy and ready to go against msu to get back in the swing of things, last time quinn came back from injury in a debut against ou, it was borderline erotic with a 49-0 victory.

Is this game available on YouTube TV? Can't find "sec plus" anywhere

It’s on the ESPN app

I think you can watch SEC+ game without subscribing to ESPN+ oddly enough. I was able to watch games this past weekend and I don’t have ESPN+ at the moment. As long as your tv provider has SEC network you should be good. I was using a Dish Network login 

Here ya go

I have Spectrum and they have like one or two backup channels, after the main SECN, so I’m assuming it’ll be on one of those? If not, it’ll be Craig Way all the way!

Nothing like smoking a cigar on the back porch, with a little whiskey or cooler of beer, and listen to Craig “paint the picture!”

Hook’em!!!

I wish they were more timely with the TV broadcast. I’d much rather listen to Craig Way than any broadcaster with the networks.

This site has worked pretty well for me in the past, while traveling, etc.

I get a few pop-ups that I have to close, but eventually the game comes on.

So am I correct the game is not available with just an espn+ subscription?

have to have a cable/streaming package that includes the sec network?

No if it says ESPN+ you should be able to watch it just with the subscription.

Yeah that’s what I thought too.

 

the email from Texas Athletics today is confusing 

IMG_2913.thumb.png.2d9597492841ab0ef27694eb814e4e14.png

 

but I guess all of that is talking about sec network.

it just omits the fact that the game is also available on espn+ in addition to sec network

Minor nuance.  The game is being shown on both ESPN+ and SEC+. 

YouTubeTV subscribers have access to SEC+ but not ESPN+. Make sure on the ESPN app that you select the SEC+ for watching.

Anwar Richardson reporting on OB that Kelvin Banks was limited in practice this week with a minor shoulder injury and is a game-time decision for Saturday.

Meh, Sark could put me on the line in the ULM game and we would still win by 50 points. Granted, I would probably be hospitalized for a few months.

I thought we were done with that fuckface Lowell Galindo and instead we get the ear splitting joy of him calling Arch Manning’s first start at Texas. 

Maybe he’s the voice of ULM now… if so, I think that’s a great spot for him if his office is upwind from the paper mill in Monroe.

I listen to Craig while I watch every game.

The over the air radio broadcast is only a few seconds behind the TV so I just pause the game when the ball is kicked until the radio catches up. Sometimes it takes a play or two to get it perfectly synced up.

They've only thrown it 31 times? Do they not trust Booty or does he just suck? Do they not have any decent WRs either?

OU started Davis Beville over Booty against Texas in 2022, so I know which one I am leaning toward. But everything you mentioned is probably true.

Just go to regular Youtube, search college football and someone will be steaming it. Sounds crazy I know. If it gets shut down, which rarely happens, search again and it will be on another channel.

OTA radio is behind TV? I don’t live in an area where I can get the radio broadcast OTA but seems like it would be ahead…

I've spoilered below a fun story from The Athletic by Bruce Feldman that overlays the journey of General Booty over that of Arch Manning. There are some interesting parallels and thoughts from folks involved. I remember some of the Booty/Evangel stuff, so this was entertaining to read and recall. 

Spoiler

Arch Manning won’t be only football royalty on field Saturday night. Meet General Booty!

By Bruce Feldman

Sep 19, 2024

32

Arch Manning has the most famous last name in football.

The starting quarterback on the opposite sideline when Texas hosts Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday night might have the most memorable name in the sport — General Booty.

The redshirt junior, a transfer from Texas’ hated rival Oklahoma, has led the Warhawks to a 2-0 start and has a deep connection to Manning even though the two quarterbacks have never met.

Three decades ago, their uncles, both Louisiana natives, were the two biggest quarterback recruits in the country in the Class of 1993. Arch’s uncle Peyton was the Gatorade National Player of the Year and General’s uncle Josh was the USA Today Offensive Player of the Year and the Parade National Player of the Year.

Those prolific quarterbacks also had younger brothers who had impressive college careers. Eli Manning starred at Ole Miss and then won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants. John David Booty played for Arch’s current coach, Steve Sarkisian, at USC and led the Trojans to multiple Rose Bowl wins before playing a couple of seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.

Their grandfathers were SEC quarterbacks — Archie Manning at Ole Miss, where the school’s campus speed limit (18 mph) is a tribute to his uniform number, and Johnny Booty at Mississippi State.

The oddest twist: Even though both come from such quarterback-rich families, their dads were the outliers. Both were wide receivers. Cooper Manning signed to play wideout at Ole Miss, but his college career was derailed after he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Abram Booty was a standout receiver at LSU who had a brief stint with the Cleveland Browns.

“It’s funny how it’s kinda come full circle,” Josh Booty said, referring to this week’s matchup that figures to be one of the most-watched games of the weekend with Arch Manning expected to make his first college start.

Manning, a five-star recruit, put on a dazzling performance last week against UTSA after starter Quinn Ewers left the game in the second quarter with an abdominal injury. On Manning’s first play, he threw a 19-yard touchdown pass. Two offensive plays later, he dashed 67 yards for a touchdown, showcasing wheels we never saw from his legendary uncles. The 19-year-old hit a top speed of 20.7 mph on the run as he sprinted away from the defense. Before the night was over, Manning amassed five touchdowns, including four through the air, in a 56-7 win.

The younger Manning has seamlessly fit in at Texas despite a staggering amount of hype surrounding his arrival on campus. Texas coaches rave about his work ethic, athleticism and demeanor all in the glow of the brightest spotlight any young quarterback has faced coming into college in years.

The QB for the team he’s playing Saturday night, General Booty, has become something of a cult hero. He’s the latest in a long line of quarterbacks in a family that is football royalty in northwest Louisiana, where his grandfather helped lead the upstart program at Evangel Christian Academy to 14 state football titles and one national championship.

But General has endured the most circuitous path of his family, including playing for four different high schools — two in California (freshman in Newport Beach, junior in San Juan Capistrano) and two in Texas (sophomore in San Antonio and senior, after COVID-19 hit, in Allen).

His college career began at Tyler Junior College in Texas, where he led the nation in passing with 3,410 yards in 2021. He signed with Oklahoma after one year at Tyler and backed up Dillon Gabriel — who became one of his best friends — for two seasons. With five-star Jackson Arnold in line to take over at OU, Booty entered the portal in May and signed with ULM, not far from his family’s roots in Shreveport, where his grandparents still live.

His unique name has always drawn triple-takes and giggles, especially when he’s outside of Louisiana.

“At first, people didn’t believe that was really my name,” he said. “They’d be like, ‘What’s your real name? Let me see your license.’ They wanted to make fun. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I think it’s pretty cool.”

General’s dad, Abram, loved to read about military strategy and history when he was growing up.

“I was just a big Army nut,” Abram said. “I told my wife, if we ever have a boy, can we name him General? She said OK. I think at the time she thought it was just something that was gonna pass. But it’s ended up fitting him well. He’s a great leader. It’s obviously a very unique name, especially with our last name, so it’s opened a lot of doors for him.”

Booty is taking advantage of his unique name with his own line of T-shirts available at GeneralBootyShop.com. And sales are going quite well, according to his dad. There are slogans such as “Booty Call” and “General Booty Reporting for Duty.”

“It started in Oklahoma, and he gave a portion of the proceeds to the children’s hospital in Oklahoma City,” Abram said. “We’ve had orders from Louisiana, Texas, Finland, Germany. It’s been incredible. I don’t know how people have been finding out about him. He’s been able to give a lot of money to the hospital. The first two years, he’s sold over 60K in T-shirts and he gave 20 percent to the children’s hospital.”

“I was able to stick out just because of my name,” General said. “Having good character and giving back to the community, and people aren’t gonna forget my name, it was catchy. The fans at OU were awesome.”

Two years ago, when the Sooners were playing in the Cheez-It Bowl in Orlando, Fla., Gabriel — who began his career at UCF — showed Booty around his old city and introduced him to one of his friends who was part of Rock ’Em Socks, a prominent sock company founded in Florida. They loved the potential for doing something with Booty.

“We want to come out with an underwear line,” they told him. “What do you think of making a big splash here this summer? We’ll do a photo shoot. We’ll put ‘Booty’ on the back.”

Booty jumped at the opportunity.

“I loved what they were doing,” he said. “It was fun to do. We’re trying to get some Warhawk stuff going now. We’ll have another line coming out pretty soon.”

The Warhawks already have matched their win total from last year, when they went 2-10. New coach Bryant Vincent has pumped new life into a Sun Belt program that hasn’t finished with a winning record since 2012. ULM beat Jackson State in the opener and then, despite being an 11.5-point underdog, hammered UAB 32-6. Booty’s had modest numbers so far, completing 63 percent of his passes for 191 yards and one touchdown with 24 yards rushing.

“He’s way faster than me and (John David) and he’s smart,” Josh Booty said. “I just hope he can play OK against Texas.”

Despite playing in the same state at the same time, Josh Booty and Peyton Manning never faced each other.

“We were always in different classifications in high school,” Josh said. “J.D. never played Eli and I never played Peyton. We were 1A and Peyton was 2A. J.D. was 5A and Eli was 2A.”

Josh, who threw for over 11,000 yards in high school and was a four-time all-state shortstop, and Peyton were getting recruited by the same schools.

“It was Texas, Florida, Tennessee, A&M, LSU, Ole Miss,” Josh said. “I remember going to a recruiting trip to LSU. Of course, Archie was great, but I don’t think they knew Peyton was going to be as good as he was. I had the baseball stuff with (Tigers coach Skip) Bertman. LSU just bought into that whole thing with me. When I was walking on the sideline, the student section was cheering ‘Let’s Go Booty!’ We were on the same visit. I can’t remember if it was a big game. I went to three or four of those things. That was the first time I got to meet him.

“Man, was he good! He was just way smarter than everybody else. He just knew everything about everything. He was so detailed. Never missed a beat on anything. His awareness was unbelievable.”

Archie Manning helped the Booty family navigate the recruiting process.

“He had a lot of great insight for my dad,” Josh said. “My dad really leaned on him. Archie is awesome.”

Though Manning signed with Tennessee and eventually became one of the sport’s most iconic figures, Booty chose a different path. He was the fifth pick in the 1994 MLB Draft by the Florida Marlins and signed for a then-record $1.6 million bonus. But after playing in just 26 games over three seasons in the major leagues, Booty returned to football and enrolled at LSU in 1999. He played two seasons with the Tigers and later spent parts of three seasons with the Browns.

Josh, the oldest Booty brother — the one who made the family name so well known throughout Louisiana for his record-smashing high school career at Evangel Christian — has spent hundreds of hours coaching his nephew.

“We have spent a ton of time on his motion, his release and footwork,” Josh said.

General Booty said they’re all excited for Saturday night in Austin.

“With Arch getting his first start, and now Texas moving up to No. 1 this week, we know there’s gonna be a lot of people watching,” he said. “We’re all excited to play on that stage. No one’s really expecting us to win or even to put up much of a fight. Obviously, Texas is a great test to see how far we’ve come. We’re gonna let it all loose. We’ve got nothing to lose. Everyone’s really fired up for that environment. We just want to go out there to go compete and show people what we’ve got.”

ULM's basic strategy is to run the ball, waste as much time as possible between plays, and hope for a turnover or two (they've gotten more than their fair share this season thus far).

If you figure 70% of Texas possessions end up as TDs, and Texas gets 10 in a game, that's 70 points. They're hoping to chop that down to 6 total possessions, have a couple of those end in turnovers, and win the game 24-20. That's the plan, anyhow.

I'll just be the arrogant Texas fan. One school has a carefully curated coaching staff picked from the national elite. They've recruited, retained and transferred in top talent players. They maintain single digit rankings with eyes on winning it all. The other school is ULM who was paid to fill a hole in the schedule.

Might want to check your math on that, bub.

Maths or not, we're covering the spread and ULM will get a 50 burger on them. This team is deep we can and will beat ou and Georgia on our way to skull drag aggy. We'll get that #1 seed. Sark is so much more intelligent, and this may be the year Sark lifts the trophy. And he ain't done. Now that he has his team, speed all around that even the "best defenses will struggle with.

What is wrong with Lowell g , and why do y'all hate that dude? Does he talk shit about Texas or something? He's a bad announcer like most or all of them are. Ron Franklin aint walking through that door. 

Overexposure due to LHN and general lame-ass, gimmicky fuckery. That and he always seemed to get a hard on when opponents were doing well. That’s my POV, at least.
