Nebraska vs UTEP

That Raiola pass gives me hope. The penalties to set up 2nd and 30 do not.

[–] orangeNgreen@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 would say were safe from a potential riot this year. Rest easy Knox Vegas

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

We got BRUUUUUUU on O and BOOOOOOO on D!

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

OHMYGOD, 3 & out, fucking fire Heupel

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

lmao, blocked punt to seal it (implying it wasn't already sealed)

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

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 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...

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.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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)

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Florida

Backup QB

Vols sweating profusely

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

fwiw I'm on your side for this one. idk so much about go Canes, but definitely don't go gators

[–] Oyml77@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yes! We are legion! Go Gators!

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, crap. Nice drive for the 'Canes.

[–] orangeNgreen@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] orangeNgreen@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

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!

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Are they using ipads or surfaces?

Go Irish! Big road win though Freeman walks well for having such big balls.

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Tailgating here at Willy B!! Go Cocks!

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

On lightning delay.

I hope they use this extra time to compose themselves and come out playing football 😐

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

We didn't. This is ROUGH.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hootie played at Colonial Life, but not at the stadium.

Last big thing here was the soccer match. Manchester vs Liverpool.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The soccer match is what I was thinking of, thanks

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...)

Go Horns Go! Nice to see DKR totally full at the start of a cupcake game. Hope people stay the whole game

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!?!

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

The ferret is drowning.

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

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oof, INT early in the Michigan game. Well, credit to Fresno State for making the play

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

First down line brought to you by TikTok

What dystopian hellscape have we wandered into that they are projecting the TikTok logo onto the field? Makes me sick
