ULM @ 1 Texas
I know they’re going to talk about Arch Manning ad nauseum, but I really hope they highlight the rest of the squad. We have lots of really talented players and they all deserve the shine
Phantom block in the back call. Should have been a pick six!
Ah, and they called back the amazing Bolden reception and I did not see definitive video evidence for it… Seems we’re facing the refs as well in this one
General Booty catches the General Booty pass!
Just to be clear, Quinn Ewers was not thrown off a mountain into a valley of wildebeasts
The more I watch this game, the more mesmerized I get by ULM’s ‘shark nose livery’ helmets. Honestly that’s, like, in the top 10 coolest lids I’ve seen
Well I was really hoping NC state would put up a fight against clempson and make me feel better about our win but I’ll just settle with poor gator play
Watching Florida @ Mississippi State in the early window. I tell myself it’s to scout 2 future opponents, but deep down I know it’s because this is Sicko football
In the exact same boat tbh, but I’m a bulldog for this game
WAKE UP!!! IT’S GAME DAY!!!
I’m not much of a religious guy. But it is an objective fact that god made Saturdays for 2 reasons:
- Pull Sets
- College Football
Let’s get this got dang bread
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.
Oh yeah, this is what I like to see
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.
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.
I feel like making an odd qb choice is essentially signing the death certificate if he doesn’t win
LOL, nothing screams “I know what I’m doing” like a pre-announced gameplan and yanking one QB after a TD pass, and the other after a running back fumbles.
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.
Gators win. I am whelmed. 🤣
Billy lives to baffle another day.
We sponsoring the last 2 minutes now?
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
Holy shit JMU putting up 60 on an P4 squad?
Edit: blocked punt right when I tuned in, fantastic
9 USC @ 18 Michigan
Gary, shut the fuck up
I forgot just how little I missed Brad and Gary. There’s something sort of classic and cozy about the timbre of their voices if you don’t listen to a single god-damned word they’re saying, but they’re very bad.
Michigan up 14-3 at half! The reports of the Wolverines’ demise were, well, slightly exaggerated
As were reports of USC’s presence in big games it seems
I just wish Lincoln Riley was as underwhelming at oklahoma as he is at USC…
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
Went to the WVU opening game, got delayed against Penn St.
At this WVU game, it’s getting delayed again. This, along with the injuries today, were fuckin cursed boys.
Estimating about 2 hour delay for us. Which is damn near what we had for Penn State.
We’re probably gonna do the same shit too, go into locker room, Neal is gonna come up with the world’s worst game plan, come back out, and just shit all over himself
Utah @ Oklahoma State
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. 🤣
Not planning to stick with this one, but I did enjoy the Arky QB inadvertently karate kicking the Auburn defender.
TCU @ SMU
The battle for the Iron Skillet, and the next-to-last regularly scheduled one for now.
Not starting well for the Frogs. I choose to blame Kendal Briles for all bad things that happen to TCU, so GODDAMMIT KENDAL BRILES.
Don’t get me going on realignment right now
So for like an entire series they were just chatting with the network CEO? Come on, at least pause the interview to call the major plays like the turnover
69 yard punt return for a TD. Nice!
Although I probably would prefer TCU win this, as someone who grew up on that side of the Metroplex. So maybe not so nice…
How did Kendal Briles cause such a breakdown on punt team coverage? It’s a mystery.
Punt team coverage not getting any better… TCU does have a special teams coordinator, right?
Apparently I need to leave the room and eat dinner more often. It’s slightly less bad now.
However, I’ve been ordered by the house’s actual Frog alum not to put it back on the big TV until they have the ball while only down a single score.
3 Tennessee @ 11 Oklahoma
Did Herbie just say ou is “unethical as hell” for flopping? More of that, please
Yeah I was just about to say. Called it “pathetic” as well. I will never excuse the booing for fake injuries, but it’s nice to have a national talking head shine some light on that behaviour
Why the qb change? Arnold didn’t look that bad?
Beware QB changes, it’s how we got Caleb Williams…
Freshman had lively legs. Let’s give him a chance to cook in 2nd half.
Wow Oklahoma gets a fumble at the TN 5 and then TN literally forces a fumble right back on the very next play from scrimmage
Did Holly say Keenan Pili’s nickname is “Uncle Grandpa”? Um, I don’t think that’s how that works
Perhaps a reference: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3042608/
Bru with a big chunk play! I knew he would be clutch for UT against ou 5 years ago. Now, which UT…
If OU can’t get any traction on offense in 2nd half, this game is done.
I keep getting surprised by our offense, I feel like we’re not actually doing anything just somehow coming out ahead
I love seeing empty stadium shots during away games!
I am so nervous rn
Vols need to switch out spikes it seems, I’ve seen so many slips
Broadcasters: Yeah TN doesn’t look very TN
TN: And I took that personally
2nd safety of the season!
Go Cocks!!!
My people!
🤙
UCLA @ 20 LSU
