    Man hearing Charlie Strong who used to be the coach of Texas be regulated to the UTSA versus Houston Christian game is something. This is a like a D Squad broadcasting crew. Hell E squad. Though from the sound of it he’s not good enough to be on this squad even.

      Ugh, that is a name I’d prefer to forget. I’m surprised he isn’t a DC somewhere though. Tom Herman also did the broadcasting thing for a bit and wasn’t good at it either

        I know he was an analyst with Alabama last year. Though considering where he is today must not have done very well at it.

    Actually seems like the true sicko game in the early window is JMU @ UNC. Good lord is this some sloppy football. Every other play is extremely amazing, terrible, or stupidly fluke-y, and it’s on both teams

    Edit: and literally within a couple minutes of making that comment, both teams have turned the ball over. Both teams are averaging about 10 yards per play. There is noooooo defense in this game

      Mullings with the go-ahead TD in the last minute! It is sad that Michigan’s entire offense is just him, though. Literally every major gain or conversion in the 2nd half was on him

      The rare double-fumble-on-the-same-play! Shame it resulted in a new set of downs for SC. I did think his arm was going forward though, so neither fumble should have counted

    Rooting for Okie Lite, just because Utah thinks that splitting the eyeballs of the 30th-largest state (population 3.4M) with an upjumped charter school makes them too good for the Big XII. 🤣

    Estimating about 2 hour delay for us. Which is damn near what we had for Penn State.

    Florida at Mississippi State

    Billy deciding he’s got this shit figured out: he’s doing a 2:1 ratio of Mertz to Lagway. It’s yet another odd choice, and if it doesn’t work, and he loses today, he might get tarmac’d in Starkvegas.

      Florida up 28-14 at halftime. They probably win today, and Mertz, as usual, looks quite decent against teams that can’t pressure him consistently. Run defense is super suspect though, and maroon Bulldogs are playing hard. I’ll go out on a limb and say Florida wins by 8 after MSST pulls it to within that close with under a minute left.

      I don’t really think a win changes much though. Billy has to surprise and probably manage a bowl; 6 looks tough though, and anything beyond that in the regular season looks almost impossible. 5-7 might save him if they look surprisingly competitive versus Andrew-Johnson-UT and/or Georgia and none of the others are unexpectedly embarrassing. If I had to guess? 4-8 but he’s gone before the end of the season.

      Early fourth, and MSST just failed on a fourth and goal. Florida up 35-21. This game is… fine.

      As an aside, I’ve been watching Desmond Watson for years, and he is basically useless except as a 450-lb speedbump meme.

      And the one player on the team most closely associated with Billy coughs up the ball, though at least it’s followed by a 3-and-out.

      I’ve always prided myself on being a cerebral fan, somebody who tries to understand the why’s and remember the human stories even when things aren’t going how people hoped, but man this Florida team is difficult to watch and I want to burn it all down. My outward wonk is in conflict with my inner Floridaman.
