There are more people on the sidelines than the stands in Miami.it's Miami, the people in that city have way better things to do than to go to a college football game on a thursday night. they're probably all too busy going to amazing restaurants, or world class night clubs, or the best titty bars in the USA, or banging out hookers all while either drinking copious amounts of alcohol, snorting lines of coke, rolling on molly, smoking meth, or all of the above.
USCe can give the Dawgs a tussle even when outmanned. I'm glad it's in Athens. They won there in 2019 when the Dawgs turned it over. Still, the USCe OL has not looked good so far. Rattler would need to have that game out of his mind.agreed. OL has been suspect, which is why I am pretty sure UGA is going to destroy them.
Pretty good game so far with Marylandis it? I think this game likely just means Maryland sucks. Virginia is turrrrible with a capital T.
is it? I think this game likely just means Maryland sucks. Virginia is turrrrible with a capital T.They could both suck but this game is entertaining. Taulia is looking pretty good
They could both suck but this game is entertaining. Taulia is looking pretty goodfair enough.
fair enough.I cannot in good conscience expect anything from a Mike Locksley team
I was just expecting more from Maryland this year. Idk why.
I have read criticism of Devin Gardner on here with regard to his color commentary.Is that who that is doing it? I do to - I would love to see them lean into that more, too. He's showing things he think could happen based on the alignments, with graphics even.
Perhaps it’s just a personal taste thing- because I think he is excellent.

I have read criticism of Devin Gardner on here with regard to his color commentary.weirdest career ever. blame Brady Hoke for messing that guy up.

weirdest career ever. blame Brady Hoke for messing that guy up.He I always liked him. And the class he showed when JT got hurt sealed it for me.
after that pretty good JR year where Denard was gone and he was finally the guy at QB thought he'd take a leap as a player as a SR but yeah- it never happened. Not only did he not take a leap, he went backwards drastically.
Poor bastard should've went to Oregon or Ohio State.
I wish programs like Maryland would just pick a uniform. Having 19 million possible combinations sort of negates the term 'uniform,' doesn't it?I don't mind some diversity, but those goofy helmets that were half one thing and half another were terrible
He I always liked him. And the class he showed when JT got hurt sealed it for me.always liked him too. his career was weird because he should've been way better than he was as a SR. he showed real flashes as a JR and had a really good season for a 1st year starter and he had serious high level raw talent, and instead of exploding into a super-nova superstar as a SR he collapsed inwards like a blackhole. it was a disaster. he deserved better. deserved better situation and deserved better coaching than fkn Brady Hoke and Al Borges.
And he is great in the booth. He is educating the viewers who can’t see the whole field.

Maybe a transfer and a fresh start will help?Inpatient cold turkey might be more help.
I glanced at the top 25 just now, I think the only competitive matchup us Tenn at Florida (7 points) mat 7 PM. It's weird that game isn't more "relevant" and not a 3:30 PM game. Has the 7 PM game time become more the time of choice?it's in the swamp and this almost feels like a gotta have it game for Napier and Florida, which is the only reason I think they have a shot to keep it close. Also, I've seen Joe Milton first hand. He's a physical specimen, but he's not good at the whole QB thing. He could throw one or two right to the Gators and help keep them in the game.
I think that game will reveal something about both squads, and coaches.
Quick win in vball today. Still need better energy. I've got ten introverts somehow.Tell 'em the first girl who spikes the ball off someone's face gets a free milkshake
it's in the swamp and this almost feels like a gotta have it game for Napier and Florida, which is the only reason I think they have a shot to keep it close.In competitive games that are not "gotta have", do they put less into winning them?
In competitive games that are not "gotta have", do they put less into winning them?it's not gotta have it for the Vols imo. they are still on that high of that great season last year and Heupel is the toast of the town in Knoxville. they can drop this one and it won't be sky is falling. the pressure isn't on them or that coach nearly as much as it is on Florida.
It's "gotta have" for the Vols as well, I think, though not so much for the coach. They still play @ Bama, UGA, @UK, and A&M. They at least aspire to win the East, and probability goes way down with a loss today.
I do have some ribs to smoke and Kroger had some wings on sale so I got some to throw on there too.Doing the crock ribs from Test Kitchen recipe - only thing I do different is slather on plain yellow mustard on the meaty side like utee 94 suggested - it holds the rub 😍. It actually makes a bit of a bark and steams/roasts at the same time. At about 2/3 of the way thru I use a baster to pull out some of the juices that have rendered out to crisp it up. So easy a Caveman or I can do it. Of course eating it over the sink proper with the game on the radio and chase it down with an Oktoberfest
Soooo.....losing to two top 15 teams puts Florida into a malstrom?? As an unranked team? They just happen to be 2 of the first 3 games.
feels like Florida almost has to win this one or that thing is probably going to tail spin nose dive crash into the ocean and sink down deep into the abyss and Napier's ass is going to be flaming hot sitting on a seat that is on fire.
I don't think Napier gets fired at the end of the season if they start looking more competitive and disciplined even of they finish 6-7, or even 5-7. If they turn into a real mess from here, then juries out. You can spot a "real mess" usually by what players say, how they react to situations in a game, whether they appear to be trying hard, etc.which is why I think this game vs Tennessee is so important for their season, that program and especially Napier. It's at home in the swamp at night vs an SEC east rival- that atmosphere should be rocking and those players should be amped up for the game.
I'd be hoping for more effort, intensity, discipline, over wins and losses, personally.
Let's bookmark this.
UGA, LSU, and Florida State are going to destroy Florida. It will not be pretty. Two of those teams are excellent and one is pretty good. Florida has no shot in any of them.
LSU has 24 points.Will Rogers should sue school for changing scheme.
Miss St has 7 yards.
Yeeesh.
Where is Big XII finding these opponents this weekend? Long Island, Tarleton St?I could probably guess where they found Long Island
And I bet Iowa State wishes they were playing some FCS cream puff instead of getting shut out by Ohio with 7 minutes leftman how the hell was Matt Campbell ever such a hot coaching commodity
man how the hell was Matt Campbell ever such a hot coaching commodityHe was brought up as a plan B when MSU hired Tucker, and even then I was out on him. He hasn't done anything to improve his stock in the past 3 years
Bammer on the road to...South Florida? OkGetting the lay of the land now, so they are prepped for the Citrus Bowl
Not the start we were looking for in the Big Ten West versus the state of North Carolina series this afternoonThe situation is not improving
The genius part about games on Peacock is that normally I flip around during commercials, and you can't do it. So you have to watch the commercialsIf the game gets out of hand don't sleep on watching old episodes of Monday Night Raw

WAAAAAAAAY ahead of you. We actually get Peacock for free as Xfinity subscribers, so I knocked out a bunch of those during COVIDI watched a bunch of the old PPVs a while ago that my parents would never order. When I got Peacock again for the season, watched some of the very first Raw episodes. It was funny when they had Hulk Hogan on for a Very Serious Interview, had to Google to find out at the time he was under a bunch of suspicion for using steroids, which is cute to think about.

The Attitude era RAW episodes hold up. Not culturally, I'm shocked NBC even shows them, but entertainment wise
no one ever has to watch a commercialI've already switched from Oktoberbest to the hard stuff
go get a beer
Bama going into halftime tied at 3 with South Florida. South Florida went 1-11 last season and lost to WKU 41-24 this season.I created an account when sports betting became legal in PA. Put $200 in it, and said when it ran out, I'd delete the account. I got up to over $800 betting baseball, and then slowly lost it all over the next 4 years, and held true, deleted the account.
Iowa with the 2 point conversionThe offensive coordinator is trying to get to 31 so that for the season they have averaged 25, but I am not sure who else wants 31.
trying to get to 25
Tennessee making Boston college blush with the flags tonight.They got totally boned on that blindside block call. It's a dumb rule that leads to bad calls because it doesn't make any sense.
Nobody is goodFor real. Every top 10 team has played like crap except for Ohio State.
Man does JJ look like garbage tonight. Poor decision after poor decision.Yeah - not his best outing. Bad decisions and crappy passes. Get it out the system now.
Man does JJ look like garbage tonight. Poor decision after poor decision.He looks absolutely fkn awful. I’ve never seen him play this bad. Bench his ass. Don’t let him back in the game.
Yeah - not his best outing. Bad decisions and crappy passes. Get it out the system now.He is just throwing shit up. Like wtf was that right there? Just throw it out of bounds. I’ve never seen him play so bad. It’s mind boggling. Thank god he’s been doing this vs a cream puff and not a real team.
2 dumb penalties but an otherwise pleasing nebraska football game. Defense was really well prepared and tackled well and by and large didn't allow squat. Last garbage drive notwithstanding.agreed
The fumble on the sack was dare I say acceptable.
He looks absolutely fkn awful. I’ve never seen him play this bad. Bench his ass. Don’t let him back in the game.But then how will he win 2 Heismans???
I would sign up for a 16 team tournament this year. None of the top teams look spectacular.how about just the top 2 play a game?
But then how will he win 2 Heismans???never seen anyone claim he’d win a heisman. QBs at Michigan under Harbaugh never will win one. He doesn’t throw the ball enough for them to.
That was a good game. Go Gators!told ya they’d beat Tennessee. Milton stinks and Tennessee just ain’t that good. Swamp at night ain’t an easy place to play either.
If we can run the ball, the other team is screwed. Boring 2nd half, sitting on the ball playing keep-away, with Mertz walking around like Edward Scissorhands.
Aside from the bad refs, this might be the first time I'd blame a team's center for its loss. That guy was crap salad in every possible way.
Great environment in the Swamp. Next 4 games are winnable. After that, we'll see.
I would sign up for a 16 team tournament this year. None of the top teams look spectacular.agreed. Washington and Ohio State were really the only top teams in week 3 that looked how they were suppose to look vs overmatched opponents. Everyone else was bleh.
The Neon Deion inauguration may have been a tad premature.the hype was getting ridiculous after 2 games vs a couple bad teams.
Time to pump the brakes.
Is it just me, or was the volume of the CU-CSU game lowered or something? I know the middle hour of the game was boring as shit, but was the crowd just not loud or was it a volume thing?not only was it a win in double OT as 20 point favorites, but they had to overcome an 11 point deficit in the 4th QTR just to get it to OT.
It sounded like a library.
Also, CU fans are dumb. They don't know what they're doing. You're a 20-point favorite and win in OT, then rush the field?
What???
Also, the announcer asking, "do you believe NOW?" Yes, I believe a 20-pt favorite winning in OT is sad.
The Dawgs seem not to show up in the first half on offense, at all. That won't work well down the road. They have one more home pastry next week. Too many trips to the bakery I think.Same in Madison. And now a trip to Purdue - not a pastry. Could be a rough one Friday night in West Lay Flat.
I got to see H2 of the Wisconsin game. Glad I didn't see H1.Their O is actually pretty good. Shouldn’t be that good, but less terrible than it looks.
Defense looks bad. Offense looking better.
Gave up 455 yards to Georgia Southern. Emphasis on Southern.
If not for GSU's 6 TO's, they probably win.
Instead it's UW 35 GSU 14.
Lots to clean up, heading to Purdue.

I think every year after week 3 I start thinking nobody looks good (Over Reaction Number 27) ...It's a darn good thing Texas' game was on the LHN last night so almost nobody saw it. Just a terrible 1st three quarters. The offense didn't show up until the 4th, which was exactly the same thing that happened against Rice and Alabama This is a very bad pattern developing here.
Does the Bevo TV ban keep going next season?Nah, no more LHN once we're in the SEC. Rumor is they'll probably fold it into the SECN since they already have studios and infrastructure built up for it.
Finally, back from MKE/ORD.Who is that?
Where is Crunchy the Clown when you need him? I bet his head exploded last night.

Still, winning is always better than losing, but this team has got to find some way to get motivated early in games. Traveling TO Baylor next week and although the Bears aren't the same team they were a decade ago, they can still beat Texas if we play the way we have been for the first three quarters.
Who is that?Crunchimus Maximus. I don't think he made it over here.
Did not catch Oklahoma State getting completely ass beat by South AlabamaYeah I didn't see the game, just the score, but that's pretty terrrible.
Crunchimus Maximus. I don't think he made it over here.Oh ya now I remember,sort of reminded me of Buckeye Rob......Flabbergasted after he got the ban hammer once.He's still around on some OSU Boards
Delusional Tennessee fan.
We made his title "Lost to Florida".

That’s what was yelled about in our section last night. Sark’s play calling last night was bent on forcing a predictable offense to stubbornly work until Texas has to wake up leading only 10-7 well into the Third when the boos start pouring down.
Texas’ offense has showed itself best when throwing downfield. They have the QB and WRs to open up and throw downfield. And Texas refuses to do this through three quarters. Instead calling run plays that defenses can easily foresee.
Our seats last night:

Doesn't help when your receivers keep on dropping easy balls, as they did all through the first half.didn't catch the game....was Worthy dropping more balls? I don't know what the dudes deal has been. He could be a 1st rd pick...he's an insane athlete with warp speed, but he won't get there if he continues to have a case of the dropsies.
I haven't seen the national "drop" stats for this year but I'd be surprised if Texas isn't toward the top of the list.
Anyway, hope you had a good time at the game and leading up to it. I got a lot of yard work done but managed to catch the ags and horns on TV later in the day.
OOf Fickell saw the writing on the wallNah. He's just a good coach.
Seeing this is just weird.

The Dawgs seem not to show up in the first half on offense, at all. That won't work well down the road. They have one more home pastry next week. Too many trips to the bakery I think.I was very busy this weekend so I only saw bits and pieces of a few games but I saw enough of the UGA game to not get excited about their "close call" with USCe.
I pondered the significance of the Vols' loss at UF. It suggests UF of course isn't completely lame, and the Vols are not completely great. As the Vols have to visit Bama, it probably means they do no better than 6-2 in conference play. UGA's major challenge is a game in Knoxville. Presuming they can handle UF and etc., it suggests a more clear path to the CG even with that loss.Vols vs Bama gonna be a great game of who has the shittier QB.
Vols vs Bama gonna be a great game of who has the shittier QB.Alabama needs to go back to Milroe, he might not be a great passer but he can at least make plays with his feet. The other schlubs they have at QB can't even do that, plus they're crappy passers.
Alabama needs to go back to Milroe, he might not be a great passer but he can at least make plays with his feet. The other schlubs they have at QB can't even do that, plus they're crappy passers.yeah agree 100%. Bama OL is traaaaash. Milroe can at least make something happen with his feet and escape and rip off a 50 yard run when he gets pressured. Buchner was pretty bad at ND, didn't know why anyone thought he'd magically be good at Bama.
I was very busy this weekend so I only saw bits and pieces of a few games but I saw enough of the UGA game to not get excited about their "close call" with USCe.It was 14-3 at the half, to be precise. UGA scored 21 unanswered in the second. Their issue has been scoring early (not) in all three games.
I tuned in when it was 10-3 USCe and did so specifically because a top team was down so I wanted to see what was up. I watched what seemed like half a dozen plays and UGA was up 17-10.
Playing lackluster enough to get down 10-3 to that opponent is concerning in theory but I think I saw the "real" UGA when they just took over and thoroughly dominated on their way, QUICKLY, from 3-10 to 17-10.
Well ya 847 and that too,Is this Sean Penn's son?It's former UW safety John Torchio. Weird.
Did not catch Oklahoma State getting completely ass beat by South AlabamaJust found out that former UT quarterback and fan favorite Major Applewhite is the OC at South Alabama. That explains it. :)
The G5s had some nice wins over P5s.Yeah and most of the P5 losing teams were in the... B12. Ooof.
I guess Graham Mertz doesn't suck after all. Huge indictment of the prior Wisconsin staff here.He looks light on his feet and knows where to go with the ball. He'll throw it away if nothing is there. He takes a few too many sacks, but we don't have a bunch of dudes running open all the time, either.

Sounds like Alex Smith in nfl. He had something like 6 different coaches in six seasons.How does that affect you?
I've had four different bosses this year.
how the f is this even possible? enough with this bullsh*t. 6 years should be the MAX any kid gets to play in college and that should only be due to injury or illness. this fckin doosh is trying to get a NINTH fcking year? who does he think he is?

Nuts. Isn’t the ND QB in his 6th year? 5th year as a starter? Basically- an NFL QB.yeah he's a 6th year guy, but that I don't mind too much as there has always been precedent for that in the past- it's not that uncommon. every player has 5 years of eligibility from the get go and sometimes an injury happens after a RS year and guys are able to petition for a medical 6th year and it's almost always granted. Whatever, ok. But that is where it should end, period imo.

hey, who knew all it would take for the Pac12 to get good again was for it to get blown up and raided by the B1G, B12, and ACC.PAC playing like it's a contract year.
sheesh. SEC and B1G blow this year.
PAC playing like it's a contract year.technically it was. new tv contract year. couldn't land one. hence the implosion.
IU lost to Louisville at home 4-5Sorta. This was technically a neutral site game, it was played at Lucas Oil.
All but one played by the consensus top 3 B1G teams.I know what you meant but you said it backwards.
The B1G front loads P5 OOC games, the SEC back loads them, usually, sometimes with another one up front.
And of course only 8 conference games.
There is one sure win there.I'm counting Georgia-GaTech and Kentucky-Louisville as SEC wins. South Carolina-Clemson is a loss. And Florida-FSU is the toss-up.
There is one sure win there.I appreciate the confidence in my Gators.
