Amanda (1:02 PM)
Colin is just finishing up some of liners. He'll be here in a minute.
Adam (Provo, UT)
Do you prefer aisle or window seats?
Colin (1:04 PM)
I prefer aisle...easier access to the bathroom.
KRK (Seattle)
When buying a diamond ring for my wife, which is more paramount: Carat total weight, color, or clarity?
Amanda (1:04 PM)
I'll jump in here...carat total weight!
Chris (Maryland)
What's your favorite casino game?
Colin (1:05 PM)
I like blackjack.
Dave (Torrance, CA)
I'm not a USC fan (sadly, I follow Michigan), but I can't understand how USC can drop 2 spots in the BCS when they have 3 shutouts in their last 4 games. I understand that the Pac-10 is pathetic, but the Trojans are the second best one loss team behind Florida. Your thoughts?
Colin (1:05 PM)
Losing at Oregon State doesn't help...especially since PSU blew them out. The Pac-10 does USC NO favors.
Reggie (Omaha)
Favorite College Campus?
Colin (1:06 PM)
I really like Madison, Wisconsin, UCLA, but my favorite is Pepperdine! Beautiful!
eric (savannah)
colin, will you ever acknowledge 1-aa football as legit?
Colin (1:07 PM)
They're legit. I've said that before. it's just not a great radio topic.
Matt (Grand Rapids)
Any thoughts on the Billups for Iverson trade?
Colin (1:07 PM)
Yeah. Denver won the trade.
Will J (Portland, OR)
Should USC end it's affiliation with the Pac-10, well their football program at least?
Colin (1:08 PM)
I posed this question last week...USC might want to think about being an independent in college football. They can maintain their affiliation with the Pac-10 in every other sport. Notre Dame does it, so why can't USC?
Adam (Provo, UT)
What would be the biggest NCAA football championship game ratings disaster?
Colin (1:09 PM)
None of the ones I see right now...Penn State/USC, or Texas/PSU would be huge home runs. Florida is big in the South but not a huge national name.
Colin (WA)
Did you ever get called Colon growing up?
Colin (1:09 PM)
Yes until I beat them to a pulp.
Oscar (Nashville,TN)
Colin,who do you will be the coach of Tennessee in 2009?
Colin (1:09 PM)
I think it'll be either Lane Kiffin or comedian Dane Cook.
Kevin (VA)
Who's Hotter: Diane Lane or Victoria Beckham?
Colin (1:10 PM)
Why do I have to pick? I would take Diane in a cocktail dress and Spice and her underroos.
jduffy (LA)
How much longer will you be working at ESPN?
Colin (1:10 PM)
At least four years.
chris (ct)
Do you think Donald brown from uconn will make it to the next level
Colin (1:11 PM)
Looks like an NFL back to me.
Chris (Cleveland, OH)
How bad is the Big Ten this year?
Colin (1:11 PM)
No worse than the Pac-10.
john (new york)
have you ever thought of getting a nose job
Colin (1:12 PM)
Actually, yes. But I don't like blood, even when I'm unconscious.
David (chattanooga,tn)
When Jed Ortmeyer returns who'll be a healthy scratch for the Nashville Predators.
Colin (1:12 PM)
Fascinating question. Let me sleep on it. Will be a big topic tomorrow on the show.
Shawn (San Diego)
Would you ever consider being an achor on ESPN?
Colin (1:12 PM)
Did TV for 14 years. Hate anchoring.
Josh (Austin,TX)
Will Texas ever wise up and fire Greg Davis?
Colin (1:13 PM)
Are you high? You lose one close game, and that's your reaction? Come on!
todd (colorado)
any thoughts on Virginia Football
Colin (1:13 PM)
No actually. Can't tell you the last time I actually thought about Virginia football.
Reggie (Omaha)
Solution to BCS?
Colin (1:13 PM)
Shorten the season a couple of games, eliminate conference championship games and have an 8-team playoff.
Daniel (Billings, MT)
Why is Oklahoma St. only at #9 in the BCS?
Colin (1:14 PM)
Because clearly the nation has something against Oklahoma State. I'm not sure if you've heard, but everybody is in on it.
Ted (Willow, Alaska)
What percentage of comments make the cut to the display?
Colin (1:14 PM)
About 1%...
Josh (Chicago)
Who are you voting for tomorrow?
Colin (1:15 PM)
Democracy. It's what I'm voting for, not who.
John (Dallas)
How was your holloween? Did you take the kids trick or treating? Did you dress up "for holloween"?
Colin (1:15 PM)
Fantastic. Poured a cocktail, walked around the neighborhood. My daughter went as a hippie. We smoked grass together before she went door-to-door.
Jeff Feagles (NY)
Am i the best player on the giants?
Colin (1:16 PM)
Justin Tuck #1. Everybody else get in line.
Vince (Orlando)
Do you get free stuff from Radio SHack
Colin (1:16 PM)
Doesn't everybody? I thought they sent everybody electronics?
David (chattanooga,tn)
Should the Braves sell the farm to get Peavy?
Colin (1:17 PM)
Peavy makes up a lot of ground fast for the Braves.
Sam (Huntsville)
Can I be on your show?
Colin (1:17 PM)
No. Sorry.
Dan (WA)
Neutral fileld. Who does Vegas favor, USC or Florida?
Colin (1:17 PM)
Probably Florida by 1 or 2 because the game is in Miami.
Tom (South Carolina)
Will Bill Cowher be a college head coach in 2009?
Colin (1:18 PM)
Seems like an NFL guy to me.
Paul (Chicago)
What time do you go to bed?
Colin (1:18 PM)
Somewhere between the end of this show and 11:30.
Sean (TX)
Tennessee, Clemson, or Washington...which job would you take?
Colin (1:19 PM)
Tenneessee. You can win very fast there.
Chris (Cleveland, OH)
Do you watch any of the various NFL pregame shows?
Colin (1:19 PM)
Dreadful.
steen (manhattan)
Do you like college basketball as much as college football
Colin (1:19 PM)
No, college football is much better. In college basketball, players come and go so quickly that I can't keep track of them.
Reggie (Omaha)
Do you watch any non-sports related TV?
Colin (1:20 PM)
That's mostly all I watch...Discovery Channel, HGTV, and HBO.
G8R FAN (ATL)
Will you every have Terry Bradshaw on your show?
Colin (1:20 PM)
Trying to get him now. Not an easy fish to catch.
Jason (Phoenix,,Az)
Colin,Why does the Michelin Man (aka ROMEO CRENNEL) still have a job? They're one of the most penalized teams in the NFL, they're terrible at clock management and the players obviously don't respect him. He's lost the team. I've watched all 8 games and I haven't seen the guy ONCE say anything while on the sidelines. How can you coach while being mute? It's ridiculous? Does he have incriminating pictures of the GM or something?
Colin (1:21 PM)
How come I only get these emails after I lose? When he beat the Giants a few weeks ago it was nothing by praise.
Tyler (Irvine, CA)
Who's the most famous person you've ever met?
Colin (1:21 PM)
Mike Tyson is the most infamous.
Nick (Denver)
Skins by double digits tonight - agree?
Colin (1:22 PM)
No...not double digits. Very low scoring game. 17-14 Redskins.
Jeff (Wake Forest, NC)
How do you fix the Detrit lions?
Colin (1:22 PM)
Move them in to the Big Ten.
Rene (Austin)
Have you ever been to a "Fight Night" in Las Vegas?
Colin (1:23 PM)
Several. Nothing is even close.
John (Dallas)
Who do you think has the best chance to make the playoffs, Cowboys or Colts?
Colin (1:23 PM)
Colts. Easier division. Heading in the right direction.
James (Boston)
Life advice for a 22 year old just out of college?
Colin (1:24 PM)
Find what you absolutely love to do and figure out a way to make a living doing it.
Lisa (White Hall, MD)
What do you think of the Ravens so far this season?
Colin (1:24 PM)
Surprisingly good. The offense is much better than I could have predicted.
Chris (Chicago)
I can't believe you won't answer my Harrel or McCoy question of who is ready for the next level...
Colin (1:25 PM)
OK, Chris. Here ya go. Neither strikes me as an amazing pro. Serviceable in the NFL. Not special.
Ted (Willow, Alaska)
God bless Lisa.
Colin (1:25 PM)
I was thinking the same thing Ted!
Rich (Seattle)
Which NBA teams do you think have the prettier Dance Teams? Did you like the Sonics Dance Team?
Colin (1:26 PM)
Buccaneers best professional sports cheereleaders. Suns dance team best in the NBA.
Sean (TX)
Does Sam Bradford of Oklahoma have NFL potential?
Colin (1:26 PM)
Actually think he has the most in the Big 12.
DeAndre (Atlanta, Ga)
Do you think TIm Tebow will be a good NFL prospect at QB?
Colin (1:27 PM)
Hard to be that big and athletic and not be at least semi successful in the NFL.
Jim (Detroit)
Do you actually like these chats or do you roll your eyes when you know you have to do one?
Colin (1:27 PM)
Love doing them (eye roll). One of the best parts of my week (eye roll).
Ted, The SLC
Deadliest Catch, or Ice Road Truckers?
Colin (1:27 PM)
Deadliest Catch.
Randy (Los Angeles)
I see Crabtree as a top 5 pick in this upcoming NFL draft. Any other College Wideout better?
Colin (1:28 PM)
Actually, I think he's the best college football player in the nation.
Paul (Chicago)
cocktail time?
Colin (1:28 PM)
Getting very close, Paul.
Daniel (Myrtle Beach, SC)
Man v. Wild or Survivorman?
Colin (1:28 PM)
Man vs. Wild. Love the British accent.
Chris (Cleveland, OH)
Do you keep your cell phone in your pocket or in a case on your belt?
Colin (1:29 PM)
I actually keep it under my arm pit, why do you ask? Is that weird?
Amanda (1:29 PM)
One more question.
Ted (Willow, Alaska)
Daylight Saving Time is off. Cocktail hour is 4:00 pm now.
Colin (1:29 PM)
or as the old joke goes...it's 5:00 somewhere...
Colin (1:29 PM)
Hasta manana!
