    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

    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

      I’m not much of a religious guy. But it is an objective fact that god made Saturdays for 2 reasons:

      1. Pull Sets
      2. 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.

      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.

        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.

    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

      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.

      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.

      Not starting well for the Frogs. I choose to blame Kendal Briles for all bad things that happen to TCU, so GODDAMMIT KENDAL BRILES.

      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…

      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.
