Nebraska vs UTEP
That Raiola pass gives me hope. The penalties to set up 2nd and 30 do not.
I was expecting some more scoring out of the Georgia/Clemson game.
Makes sense though, with how UGA is built defensively and how Clemson has, like, 0 receivers
I was thinking VA Tech might be a dark horse for the ACC this year, but seeing them down double digits to Vandy has me rethinking that…
Welp, Vandy missed the walk-off FG so now we have OT. Now I’ve gotta hunt for the Texas game…
I also thought so, but vandy is on the rise from rock bottom tier to just bottom tier
The mercy rule was invoked in the Auburn vs. Alabama A&M game. Last two quarters will be 10 minutes each. Tigers were up 52-3 at the half.
I didn’t even know college football had a mercy rule…
I wonder what the exact rule is, Vols were up 48-0 at half and I don’t think we employed any such rule
Edit: it seems that both coaches have to agree to it, but it can happen at any point, see below:
- The National Collegiate Athletic Association’s mercy rule provides, “Any time during the game, the playing time of any remaining period or periods and the intermission between halves may be shortened by mutual agreement of the opposing head coaches and the referee.” (NCAA Football Rule 3-2-2-a)
Florida vs Miami
LOL, a’ight. I’m out. Too old to pretend there’s value in watching an overmatched and undermotivated team. Billy better figure shit out.
At least TCU had a good one last night. And you’ve got the TN game to look forward to! (I will never believe we are gonna win that game any season until the clock shows :00s)
Florida
Backup QB
Vols sweating profusely
Go Gators!
Yes! We are legion! Go Gators!
Catching bits of this during the ad breaks in the Texas game, rooting for the Canes. But man, the new ABC score bug is hideous
It’s not going to age well, think about how like windows vista looks to the modern eye
fwiw I’m on your side for this one. idk so much about go Canes, but definitely don’t go gators
Just got back from kiddo’s coding class. Glad to see Florida is hanging in there. And dear God, Swamp Sunny Side in August… WHY? And if you are, why waste it on one of very few opponents that can absolutely handle it? I assume I can blame ESPN.
Are they using ipads or surfaces?
Well, crap. Nice drive for the 'Canes.
Crazy 4 minutes.
Yup, and some straight up cowardice after that last sack. I’ve been preaching patience with Billy, but they need to pass the eye test better this year and particularly they need to look well coached, and I’m not sure I see it.
Cam Ward looking like the real deal, and what a weird developmental path players have now.
Just once I want to see Miami live up to some preseason hype. Give me a good game, with good decision-making, big plays, and solid W!
Go Canes!
Glad to see Baron balling out for the canes! He had a weird offseason, but he’s still a VFL in my book
I’m a gator hator, but that honestly should’ve been a fumble
Awesome start! More of that please!
I have no idea how Miami was so out of position on that, but I’ll take it! Go Gata!
Edit: Good sealing blocks from the pulling linemen and a terrible angle from the safety.
Chattanooga vs Tennessee
I would say were safe from a potential riot this year. Rest easy Knox Vegas
We got BRUUUUUUU on O and BOOOOOOO on D!
69-3
nice
Also no offense, because I know it’s harder to do everything with a rush breathing down your neck. But the Mocs need a new punter
Getting the backups some reps, ya love to see it
OHMYGOD, 3 & out, fucking fire Heupel
Non ironically though, I love Heup. Just called time out to get the ball back with just under 2 minutes in the first half while up 45-0. Most coaches would let the Mocs burn clock right there
Well that 2:00 drill looked sloppy, just about everything else looks good though
Isn’t he the guy that looks kinda like Bobby Hill?
Dang nabbit Bobby
lmao, blocked punt to seal it (implying it wasn’t already sealed)
I know I make fun of pumpkin orange, but gotta say I don’t love y’all’s “Smoky” gray uniforms. Feels like Great Value non-Ohio OSU. Looked like a good solid warmup win though.
Go Irish! Big road win though Freeman walks well for having such big balls.
It seems like the Iowa Hawkeyes are still struggling on the offensive line. This will make it difficult for the offense to be productive yet again…
I haven’t caught any of that game, just seeing the box score, but I wonder if things are just a little off with Kirk Ferentz out. (Not like bringing him back next week is going to make the offense any better, though…)
Didn’t catch the game, but I’d say Iowa putting up 40 is noteworthy
Yep. They looked better in the second half.
Tailgating here at Willy B!! Go Cocks!
On lightning delay.
I hope they use this extra time to compose themselves and come out playing football 😐
We didn’t. This is ROUGH.
Go Cocks! Wasn’t there just a concert at Willy B? Or maybe one coming up? I feel like there was a thread about something like that over on Vol Nation
Hootie played at Colonial Life, but not at the stadium.
Last big thing here was the soccer match. Manchester vs Liverpool.
The soccer match is what I was thinking of, thanks
Well this just got interesting…
Not for us in the stands 😆
Go Horns Go! Nice to see DKR totally full at the start of a cupcake game. Hope people stay the whole game
Arch Manning has entered the chat
Y’all look like a complete team already. The fake UT gonna be scary this year
Beautiful INT by Barron!!
The ferret is drowning.
Irish finally up get em boys
Get fucked Aggies
After years of the Pac12 screwing us by having late start times, I’m excited for the B1G to get us those sweet primetime slots, like
8PM PST? What the fuck!?!
I just flipped over to the Northwestern game and my goodness is the field they’re using just picture perfect, right on the shore of Lake Michigan
ND @ TAMU
If the yellow line is accurate, that was 100% over.
Shoulda given himself up at the 1…
I thought the same thing. Feels like too much time on the clock
I’m gonna go ahead and say it, I like this uni matchup
Edit: wait did they level the bevel?
I could be wrong, but I thought the bevel went away a while ago. IIRC, most Aggies don’t like it because it was like a 1% departure from muh traditionz.
I’m not a UT fan either, but certain parts of the A&M fan base are particularly eye-rolling to deal with. No program has done less with more over the decades without admitting it.
Switched over to this one just in time to see the interception! Me gusta
Well I’m sure this spot won’t cause any feedback
