"big" games
Yeah, one is a bitter throw out the records rivalry week game where the Pac South champion is down by three scores, and the other has a berth in the Mountain West CCG riding on it.

Not much more to add.
Except...

GO CATS!! Win one for Marcel!!!
I miss Marcel.

Northwestern is scrappy good. I think it will be a good game next week. Hope OSU can play inspired, focused football.

Wowwwww, idk if you all stopped watching football or whatever, but what A&M just did was amazing.


Down 7 with 30 seconds left, they throw a pick.  Game over, Gatorade shower, etc.....but the QB knelt to get the low snap.  Still A&M ball w/ a 10 sec runoff.  Hit a long pass.  Hit another long pass short of the first down, but the refs just give them the first down for some reason.  Hit another pass, go to spike it, but the clock reads :00.  Hold on, there was 1 second when the spike hit the ground.  Boom, TD!  Tie game.



Fun.
Pretty wild sequences.   Not to mention the rare 50yd fg in ot

We all need to get over it.  Football is going to give us these kinds of scores many more times than we see 14-10.

But it takes 5 OTs for SEC teams to start Twelving

In the age of RPOs and on-the-fly routes, etc., A&M and LSU have gone back to 30s-style QB keeper to the corner football.

They should kick NFL length Xtra points in the first two OTs

I do hate this.  It's a poor system.
I can feel MY calves cramping, watching these guys play all this time.  Ugh.

It's funny to look at the ESPN Win Probability Chart - looks like College Station is having a 9.4 earthquake.....

Refs totally boned LSU there, probably because they want to leave
