    No power due to Hurricane Helen. Won’t be watching much football today I’m afraid 😔

      I hope it’s restored soon! I guess it’s a good thing the Gamecocks have a bye this week so you won’t be missing them

        We’re crossing our fingers it’ll be back tonight to watch Georgia (hopefully) lose 😆

    Oh man, no Will Johnson in this game? He is so fun to watch

      Gus Johnson just mentioned that Michigan’s punter was a 5 star recruit. Yeah, most punters are – it’s a different scale…

      That was an impressive turnover. Looked like the Minnesota player had the ball pretty secure but Michigan still was able to rip it out. Michigan smashing indeed

        That was a really impressive interception. Defense looking fantastic, which helps a lot when the offense is kind of one dimensional

      OK, that might be the most I’ve been impressed by a field goal unit ever. 2 seconds on the clock (no timeouts) when the hail mary was caught near the goal line and they’re able to get on the field and snap the ball for the FG going into half. Outstanding coaching by PJ Fleck

    Alabama is just eating Georgia’s lunch right now. I don’t think either team is really built to come back from a big deficit, so this could become a blowout

        I tuned back in about halfway through the 4th. Absolutely wild ending.

        I kind of thought Georgia wasn’t as vaunted as they were made out to be going into this one, so the yuuuuge lead Alabama built up felt like proof of that. But with the script flipped in the second half, now I don’t know what to make of Bama. Maybe they’re both really good, or maybe they’re both slight imposters. I think the October 19th games (Bama @ UT and UGA @ UT) will actually tell us how legit these 2 teams are

          I’m literally in the exact same boat, I had more or less stopped flipping to this game thinking “TSIO will be special this year, UGA is now a possible to probable win”. Happened to look at my scores page and see the game was competitive all of the sudden and flipped in time to see Georgia go up. Neither team has put together a full game yet, but theoretically both teams have shown the ability to win any game they’re in so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    These announcers are gonna make this CO game awful. It’s been 15 minutes of throating CO. “Travis Hunter is top .001% WR”, “It’s just him and OBJ making catches like that”, “CO is 3-1 because of their passing, and they’re running the ball right now, unstoppable”.

    I’m sure Hunter is good, but idk if he’s comparable to OBJ yet, and they went 3-1 last year.

    Frogs trying desperately to find a way to lose this game, but failing so far. Great punt return.

    I would be somewhat more likely to not pirate everything if ESPN didn’t have that awful, grating “your game is at commercial break” noise. That shit is awful.

        I haven’t ahd much Bally exposure, except a few years back when they provided coverage for the Predators, but they didn’t have that, and I was pirating again anyway lol

    Why is Louisville-ND on Peacock? This is not going to get people to subscribe to Peacock. NBC would certainly get more eyeballs and ad money if it were on broadcast TV

    Decided to play some cornhole in the yard. WVU on bye, it’s nice to have a free weekend. Just been checking in on games for hour or so.

    Got me thinking. I coulda been a Bama fan. Saban is from here, the connection exists. Instead I just decide to be sad every weekend

    Did I hear that one of Ole Miss’s defenders goes by the nickname “Poo”? I swear every week I hear an even more bizarre nickname in a random game. I’m starting to feel like a lot of these players are playing practical jokes on the sportscasters

      Also are we allowed to say Chinese fire drill these days? Asking for a friend who wants to be respectful of all cultures
