LSU TE #14 size is a problem for people.

Boy, that wasn't fun, watching FSU being all happy and celebrating.

I had some boiled peanuts to center me.  
Florida played a high school team with a 6,000 seat stadium.  Offense was sluggish for a quarter and a half.  Boring-ass play-calling in an impossible-to-lose game.  Meh.

Clemson-LSU is looking like OSU-Texas was:  first to 20 dies in a fiery grave.
Like 1927-style football.

It’s New Mexico. What if they want to keep some of it quiet for one of their toughest games of the season next week?

You are going all out Florida. Are you boiling peanuts yourself?

We started boiling our own since you can't get them in CenTex.  It's so easy!

But you can only do it when green peanuts are in season and around here, not many places carry them.

Not a fan of Bama getting handled like that. Next week they tune up against UL-Monroe, and then the Badgers come to town.

I'd rather Bama be 2-0.

But it probably doesn't matter.

Austin Peay with its first win over an FBS team since beating K-State in 1987!   AP hammered Middle Tennessee State.

yeah I don't and never have bought this line of bs. run what you run, even vs the weaker teams. you don't get better at doing something basic like running zone reads or designed QB runs without...you know...actually running it in live games. 

now if you want to cool it on formations, motions, hide a couple plays away from the big game that's one thing.

I believe JJ McCarthy only threw for 250 or more yards in a game just 6 times in his entire career at Michigan where he started in 28 games and played in another 12.

kid had only a couple bad reads and only a couple off target throws on 31 attempts. also had a couple WR drops. throws it very accurately, tight spirals, throws absolute lasers but can also throw it with some touch. felt like the training wheels were still on and they didn't let him rip it as much as I would've liked- but he performed well in his first ever college start.

Underwood is without question the single most talented, physically gifted QB that I've seen in a Michigan uniform since Drew Henson 25 years ago.

No.
But here's the thing...
I found some canned boiled peanuts at the grocery store.  Figured they'd be bad or lesser-than, but 2 min in the microwave, and they're good.
Cut to a summer visiting family in GA and FL.  Stop at a gas station.  Want some boiled peanuts.  Saw them switching them out of the cauldron they keep them in......same damn peanut can I was microwaving, just a huge one!
I was very surprised.
So yes, I have boiled my own, which took forever on a shitty stove (like 8 hours), but there's no need.

No, my AZ friends don't know what they are, never heard of them, and think they're gross and slimy.  
More for me!
