No power due to Hurricane Helen. Won't be watching much football today I'm afraid πŸ˜”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

πŸ€™Amen!

We're crossing our fingers it'll be back tonight to watch Georgia (hopefully) lose πŸ˜†

Lmfaoooooo Ole Miss

I'll never understand the SEC and ACC schools wearing polos to games.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Auburn and Ole Miss wearing full suits doesn't even make sense to me, an SEC fan

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Man I hope you didn't stop watching, what the fuck is this game?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Battle for the Little Brown Jug

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Blocked punt!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The defense and special teams are helping out with these short fields.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Well, special teams giveth and taketh away, I guess

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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.

WHO THE FUCK IS BYE? DON'T MATTER, VOLS BY FIDDY

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

TCU @ KU

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

No but at least nd played well enough. Gg Louisville

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The one Bally Sports used last year was even worse. It was SO LOUD

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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

🚨🚨🚨AMAZING PUNT ALERT🚨🚨🚨

Arkansas's Devin Bale nails a coffin corner in the Southwest Classic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Certainly not offensive PI there, no siree

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Might've scored too quickly as well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I feel so vindicated with how the game has progressed so far, I've been saying that the land sharks have needed to be on upset watch all week long

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

OSU looking....not good. Gordon not consistent. Bowman just slanging it to the DBs lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

oklahoma is losing to Auburn. Perfection. If only aggy and arky could both lose

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Does Kentucky want to win? Wtf are they doing...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

LMAO, THE MADLADS DID IT

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Exactly how they drew up that play, lol. The exact same kind of TD happened earlier in the NIU-NC State game and I thought "huh, that's neat"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

4th and 7 and they've continually run that awful fake pitch then just uncork a bomb lol. OK, if it works I guess

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Texas is allowing just 5.5 points per game

I love that stat. We've always been able to play offense, but we have struggled with defense for so long. Coach K has really been transformative to our program

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I HATE TAKING POINTS OFF THE BOARD.

This might be my biggest pet peeve in football. You kick a FG and get 3 points. Why accept the offsides penalty and try going for it on 4th? I've seen it fail way more than it be successful. Just keep the points! All you're doing is giving momentum to the other team

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also love the stat that Texas is one of four programs to have yet to trail this season (the others being Tennessee, Indiana, and Army). Really looked like that was in jeopardy but we held them to another field goal. Gotta get more points soon though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Army

They're also tied for the longest active winstreak... I might be about to rank Army

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

And CO has like...-14 yards and an INT on 1st drive lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OU whatca doin baby? Daddy needs his quality wins

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the Chinese fire drill FG is just fucking dumb

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

lmao he missed it the second time as well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Hot damn, Illinois has already scored and they're still walking on the field in the UGA/bama matchup? Wow espn is gonna overproduce the shit out of this

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Hearing the Avengers theme finally making its way into some of the bands' repertoires, kinda surprised it's taken so long. Lil Nas X's Industry Baby got playing time like right away. Must be disney pulling strings...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I tuned into NIU @ NC State for a second and the Huskies just fumbled the ball into the end zone and managed to fall on it. Probably not how they drew up that play, but 7 points is 7 points
