STOP THE COUNT!

O_O
Edit: Boooooooooo, give em the points coward
I’m intentionally not tuning into this one so as not to jinx it. I hold a degree from the red school, but, well, frankly, fuck 'em.
Didn’t see this coming after Kentucky’s results last week. Holding Georgia to 63 yards at half, wow.
The average ancient Egyptian’s diet consisted almost entirely of grain.
This was sustaining, but only barely. Compared to contemporary societies in every direction, they lived shorter lives, had smaller stature, and poorer health. The coarse millstones left grit in the flour that wrecked their teeth over the few decades of their lives.
It was, of course, all they had.
My college football soul is being nourished entirely by the grain of FSU’s sucking and it is sustaining, but only barely.
Texas A&M @ Florida
This Florida team looks so unremarkable. I know the weather is ass… but so are Billy’s Gators. If A&M didn’t play dumb, the score would be a lot worse.
On the plus side, I boiled some peanuts the other day, and I just warmed some up.
Christ on a cracker, Florida is making the tin soldiers from Aggieland look like a good team.
TCU better not suck this bad tonight.
Ok, ngl that hold kinda hurts me. The sheer effort from Badger should be commended
Phew. Badger got his score.
And glad he was still the one to finish the drive
Billy: “We need to get some rhythm on offense.”
Also Billy: “Yeah, we’re gonna keep switching quarterbacks.”
I’m gonna tell y’all a secret. A 2-QB system has never been a good thing at Florida. Palmer, Johnson, Brindise, and young Grossman all had holes in their games, and the Leak/Tebow thing was not a true time-share.
Leak/Tebow
Aww, poor Stains the Aussie… He’s seen some shit. Like the discipline of a Napier-coached Gator team.
Why does Desmond Watson, the largest of the foot-ball players, not simply eat the others?
This is one of the best setups for a college game. Backup qbs, miserable weather, sloppy play, the gators are losing just about everything you could ask for
God I hate you, Dulcimer-UT.
🤣🤣🤣
Jokes on you, I love the dulcimer, banjos too
Look, friendo, we’re way beyond things I actually dislike about east Tennessee. Mountain dulcimers are lovely, both as music and as luthiery.
LOL, a nice play but even then the TD goes away from the downfield hold. Every silver lining has a touch of gray.
UTSA @ 1Texas
The first (and until now, only) time these teams met was in 2022, when I was a professor at UTSA. I showed up to that game in Texas gear but rocked a UTSA hat, thinking I could root for both teams. As soon as it kicked off though, I realized I could only root for my alma mater. Soooo UTSA, I love ya, but go horns go
Uh, Traylor, what are you doing icing your own kicker? Really weird use of a timeout there, and it cost UTSA 3 points
Big man pick six!!!
While I’m glad Arch was able to step right in and score, I’m really concerned about Ewers… If he’s a little banged up, I’d like him to heal up and not aggravate anything
Edit: OK, glad to see he’s staying in at QB on the next series. Aaaaaand that Manning 67-yard TD run was pretty cool, I will say
I hate the commodification of injuries, especially at this level. The kid is hurt and is obviously hiding from the camera on his way out, you don’t need to track him all the way to the locker room
Well, that INT is not going to aid Ewers’ Heisman campaign…
Arkansas St @ Michigan
Eugh, Warren just made a hideous no-look throw for an INT. We really don’t have any QBs this year, huh? Hell, just go wildcat offense
Loveland was wide open. Underthrew him by 10 yards. There is no way a run based offense built around Orji is worse than this, right?
I kind of agree. As long as Orji can make his throws to Loveland, that’s probably better than this. Gotta figure it out before getting too deep into conference play
Predictable drive from Orji, but resulted in a touchdown!
UCF @ TCU
Frogs looking good in the early going. Hoover is very sharp, and Savion Williams is probably going to get drafted in the first round and then completely forget how to play football, as is tradition for TCU #1 WRs.
UCF is going to wear some teams down, though.
Cardiac Knights are back!
FUUUUUUUUUCK. Well, that happened. GG Knights.
Seems like one of the teams UCF will wear down is TCU, but they’re going to have to stop the Frogs several times, and also get at least one 2pt conversion because their entire kicking unit seems to somehow have the yips.
Ugh. Tired Frogs D gets a critical late-game stop, and suddenly the TCU playcalling turns to overly conservative garbage.
Why wasn’t kick-catch interference called, especially since they talked about it for a while?
I mean, I certainly think they could have. I can only guess that since it took a full stride after the UCF guy completed the catch, the question was more about whether the pop amounted to unnecessary roughness.
I’m afraid of Oregon State
So far I’d say the Ducks are taking care of buisness
They had to eventually!
All I need to say is, Miami better beat FSU this year. By a lot.
As I check in this morning I see the cocks leading and FSU somehow losing even harder than anticipated… Go Cocks!
FSU lookin’ at 0-3 at this rate. Maybe even 2-10. Also, what is this stat line: DJ is 5/6 for 7 yards?
BC over Mizzou makes me happy. The best thing in MO is the girl who broke my heart…
Flipped back and its 2&59???
Yeah of course I just had to open my mouth…
Memphis @ FSU
As a little wjrii, we lived outside Memphis for a few years, and around 4th grade I realized that this “football” thing my dad and brother liked was indeed pretty cool. Also, just in general I fell in love with understanding the organization of high level sport (SO MANY brackets and leagues of fictional teams done in Crayola colored pencils). All of this is just to say that the Metro Conference and its stillborn dream of football glory remembers… Go Tigers!
Please ignore my Florida degree and 1980s fondness for Miami-based football teams. This is purely wholesome affection for the local team of my childhood and eventual alma mater of several Facebook friends. It definitely has zero connection to any unhealthy fixation on hoping to see my team’s rivals dragged down to our level.
Wow, from cfp shoe in to 0-3 in 3 weeks… ya love to see it
I can go into the rest of the games with a good reservoir of hatred joy.
G5 Mike versus SunBelt Billy is going to be the weirdest game ever.
Memphis is looking pretty good. Kind of crazy that their QB is the only 4th-year starter in FBS to have played all 4 years at the same school. And it’s always nice to root for an underdog.
I’m not keen to make fun of powerhouse programs, as my alma mater was on the receiving end of that for a decade. But it is funny to hear all the boos pouring down from the stands
Man FSU is straight up not a good team, huh?
Driving home from Raleigh looking like a crazy person yelling at the South Carolina refs through my radio!!!
Still can’t believe they took back that touchdown due to a completely legal block.
Yeah I’d be surprised if today is the last anyone speaks of the officiating in that matchup
Beamer s/o to the crowd after that fumbled snap… love to see it
The ending of this game is like
“YOU get a turnover”
“NO YOU GET A TURNOVER”
Bama @ Wiscy
Not sure Wisconsin has much of a chance in this. I’m not convinced TVD is an amazing quarterback. Now, if this game was played in late November that would give them much more of a home field advantage…
Edit: oh wait, he’s already out of the game 5 mins in. Let’s see how the backup is
Alabama misses the FG! They’ve been too good at kicking lately – could this be a return to their pre-2020 form of kicking?
Kirby Smart: please don’t drop us in the polls.
