Purchased a new snowblower. Should keep winter at bay for awhile. Good slate this weekend.Gas? I have the electric line of yard tools from Ego and have thought about buying the snowblower
Might as well start it tonight so Nubbz isn't up at 5:30 in the morning complaining about his lack of SOC thread.Hell,I don't mind who posts 1st just didn't want to bang out a SoC Thread before I made the coffee - then hit send to just find out you wasted 4-5 minutes of my life beating me to it. And I hadn't started the coffee either that's a lose-lose and no-way to start a CFB Saturday
4-5 minutes of my lifeyou type like I do
Gas? I have the electric line of yard tools from Ego and have thought about buying the snowblowerYou mean ECHO don't ya?
You mean ECHO don't ya?Nope EGO, they are green
you type like I doWell there is a little time taken writing up the intro then compile the top match ups and starting times,type/copy/paste/send.Specially w/o Coffee 1st
Nope EGO, they are greenDid they tell you about the batteries?
if it weren't for copy&pasteSame-same
I wouldn't be a poster
Did they tell you about the batteries?Yeah when we moved in to my house 6 years ago my gas mower died and I decided I was never buying another gas powered tool again. So I got the mower and now I have the weed whacker, edger, and leaf blower.

Batteries are worse for the earthMaybe but they are far better for me not wanting to fool around changing the gas and oil on my push lawnmower
G'mornin' all.Make sure you mix up one of those funky,cheap CHI-Town cocktails you had mentioned previously
Up in Barrington at the moment. Probably head out and watch a little football and then back here to see some friends and family.
I think we are bringing in pizzas tonight, which is fine, because we are in a Chicago suburb. A very safe one, of course.
If there isn't going to be a time change, it will go back to standard time. You must like full daylight at 4:25 AM in June.I'd rather we stay with daylight savings - more light at the end of the day. EDT is better than CDT was - but where we lived was on the Eastern edge of Central. Now we're on the Western edge of Eastern. Daylight time please.
I like the leaf blower talk. The leaves at the RGWHQ are just starting to come down.
Gorgeous fall day here in the Twin Cities. High in the mid 40s and no wind. Hopefully the Gophers have something for the Fighting Berts today.
Cocktails, to me, seem to be for folks who don't like liquor.I like a good bloody or margarita, but that's kinda where it stops.
I like a good bloody or margarita, but that's kinda where it stops.It's more like "I only drink on days that end with Y."
Gin and tonic is good too, when it's warm out. But that's kinda like saying "I only drink when I'm alone or with someone", right?
I think a cocktail has to have 3+ ingredients.Yeah, slight difference in definition for a "mixed drink" vs. a cocktail.
Tito's on the rock with lemon twist or JW Red on the rocks?No what's that potion?Malort's or some such mixed with something else that is some weird tradition you/another poster were talking about
Pretty funky, I know.
I think a cocktail has to have 3+ ingredients.gin, tonic, & a slice of lime
OSU punter just decided to try and run the ball?Yep. 😞
This is just sadThis isn't any different than any other game this season
This isn't any different than any other game this seasonExactly. I was going to say, you can’t blame McCord. He was 11/14 with two huge drops. But then he threw that bad pick.
He missed marvin a few times,damn came out 1st drive looked solid,then this.And last I looked ND was getting drubbed by Clemson. Well Buckeyes enjoy your 1st and only week at number one.Lol. Those rankings mean nothing to me.
Pick 6Nice. But now 3/5 DBs out. Ransom, Burke and now Proctor. Depth being tested.
Touchdown Henderson. I was skeptical coming into the season but he has really been their best back by a mileHayden a close 2nd IMO going into today he had a higher ypc but not after today
Big Marv gets hisThat DB Longerbeam(What a name) has playing marv tight good cover that I've seen
Man, the B1G West can't even handle Indiana or Michigan State?Nebraska is pretty much done.
Big Marv gets hisThis is what drives you nuts with McCord.
Nebraska is pretty much done.The Huskers are back in it, all of a sudden.
Wisconsin is still in it but running out of time/chances.
Buckeyes got a call thereAnd/ they gave it back. Lol.
If Illinois and Northwestern beat Minnesota and Iowa respectively, then there will be a 5-way tie for first, with the other two sitting a game back.This is dependent upon Purdue beating the cheaters.
that was a terrible call on Corum….wow.One of the worst I’ve seen this year. Should have been facemask on defender
Last 5 weeks USC defense has allowed 42pts a gameFun game to watch. Lots of offense. 28-28
USC and Washington have no idea what is hitting them in the Big TenYou mean… defense? 😂
USC and Washington have no idea what is hitting them in the Big Tenwell lucky for them Michigan is going to lose like everyone and Jeem will be off to the NFL, which means the only other team with an actual offense they’ll have to face is Ohio State.
You guys gotta turn on UW-USCmight have to because Jeem’s offensive play calling and decision making in that 2nd QTR really pissed me off.
You guys gotta turn on UW-USCWhat makes you think I'm watching Purdue v Mich.
What makes you think I'm watching Purdue v Mich.:043:
You mean… defense? 😂Washington goes to Kinnick next season. Their fans will be wondering why Iowa doesn't seem interested in trying to score. Yet Iowa still wins.
Washington goes to Kinnick next season. Their fans will be wondering why Iowa doesn't seem interested in trying to score. Yet Iowa still wins.Iowa is gonna have a new OC for sure. Possibly even a new HC. Maybe they’ll actually try to score with some new coaching?
Washington goes to Kinnick next season. Their fans will be wondering why Iowa doesn't seem interested in trying to score. Yet Iowa still wins.I'll take that bet
No BiG in this house.Nice setup!!!
Iowa is gonna have a new OC for sure. Possibly even a new HC. Maybe they’ll actually try to score with some new coaching?Kirk has like four other kids he can hire
Michigan has played some clunkers at home at night vs a pair of lesser opponents.I like their chances. PSU is solid. Allar is getting better at going downfield.
Next Saturday in Happy Valley can’t come here fast enough. First real game Michigan will have played all year. Will be interesting to see how they handle that.
Kirk has like four other kids he can hireThis could go viral then you're in Big Trouble,buster
I like their chances. PSU is solid. Allar is getting better at going downfield.All things being equal and on paper- Michigan should win that game.
But put all the noise aside- Michigan is as good and talented as any team, maybe more so.
While UW@USC is twelving, LSU's Jaylen Daniels in on pace for a 350 passing/250 yard rushing night @ Alabama. Tied at 21.Penix is gonna win the heisman but Daniels should be considered seriously. LSU is a sub 500 team without that guy.
Daniels has better numbers, but Penix has a big volume advantage...on everyone. Plus UW can't run the ball for shit.Yes. UW had 161 yards rushing in the first half- but that’s because- as you pointed out- USCs defense is…. Generous. 😂
Penix is gonna win the heisman but Daniels should be considered seriously. LSU is a sub 500 team without that guy.I do t know. If Daniels comes out of Tuscaloosa with a win tonight and just keeps playing the way he has- he might just get it.
I do t know. If Daniels comes out of Tuscaloosa with a win tonight and just keeps playing the way he has- he might just get it.Agreed.
If this was 2024, we may still have wound up with Air Force in the 12-team national championship playoff. A team that lost to Army by 20 points.In 2018 Alabama won the championship despite finishing third in their own conference. Win some you lose some
Darn. We're missing out.
In 2018 Alabama won the championship despite finishing third in their own conference. Win some you lose some2018 Alabama went 14-0 before losing to Clemson in the NCG.
I'll believe a west-coast Heisman winner when it happens. Not before.you never saw Palmer,Leinart,Bush?
2018 Alabama went 14-0 before losing to Clemson in the NCG.In 2018 Alabama defeated Georgia for the national championship. Time sucks, I know.
You're really bad at this.
In 2018 Alabama defeated Georgia for the national championship. Time sucks, I know.When you cite a season, you cite the year in which 99.9% of the games occurred.
He meant the 2018 team that lost to Clemson in Jan '19Yes, because that was the 2018 season.
When you cite a season, you cite the year in which 99.9% of the games occurred.Buddy you are the one arguing that the 2018 game didn't occur in 2018. No one else cares.
Not a handful of bowl games.
you never saw Palmer,Leinart,Bush?And Williams last year, yes.
Buddy you are the one arguing that the 2018 game didn't occur in 2018. No one else cares.Again, you suck at this. I'm most worried that it's not on purpose. I have no expectation that you'll improve, because I don't believe you can.
Again, you suck at this. I'm most worried that it's not on purpose. I have no expectation that you'll improve, because I don't believe you can.Guy, Your response to a factual statement is to be upset about what year it happened and still get that wrong.
In 2018 Alabama won the championship despite finishing third in their own conference. Win some you lose someLet me quote your post.
Let me quote your post.Put it in the Louvre
In 2018 Alabama won the championship.................yes, the NCG happened in 2018. You're SO right.
But shit, the rest of the post remains:
despite finishing third in their own conference.
Was that in 2018? Did they finish 3rd in 2018?
See how that doesn't work? Instead of a "sorry, I meant the 2017 season..." reply, you go full-on jackass mode.
We're so fortunate.
SC and Washington are just standing in the middle of the ring and blasting away at each other.Agree. Been going back and forth between the 2 games. Both extremely entertaining games and probably why I love watching college football.
Caleb Williams is a great player, but he just ate a sack that knocked SC out of FG range. Washington should be looking to eat some clock the next series.
That hit that knocked out the LSU QB should have been spearing.
REPORT: 12 Big Ten RBs apply for an extra year of eligibility with USC joining conference for 2024 season.😂😂😂
REPORT: 12 Big Ten RBs apply for an extra year of eligibility with USC joining conference for 2024 season.that was a really good one lol
I do t know. If Daniels comes out of Tuscaloosa with a win tonight and just keeps playing the way he has- he might just get it.didn't think LSU would win- and they didn't, which is why I said Penix will win the Heisman. LSU is now a 3-loss team and still has to play Florida and A&M, which are not gimmes for them. LSU could be a 4 or 5 loss team. Penix will have huge stats and be the star QB on what should be a 12-0 regular season team playing for the PAC12 championship and playoff. That's why I thought he'd win it.
Caleb Williams is a great player, but he just ate a sack that knocked SC out of FG range.Caleb Williams is an awesome college player, but he is so reckless and gets away with A LOT in college that he flat out will not in the NFL. I think his bust factor in the NFL is pretty high. Especially when you take a look at the track record of Lincoln Riley coached QBs in the NFL. Baker and Kyler The Midget have been pretty bleh in the NFL.
JJ didn't play his best game nor did he get any TD passes but threw for 335 yards. His stat-line on the season is now....I thought tonight was his 2nd most inaccurate night next to the Bg game. Granted, he read plays well, also had some great throws, but he also had a lot of passes that were behind receivers. 2nd most inaccurate simply because his accuracy most of the season has been off the charts. And no one can say anything about accuracy in regards to signs.
75.7% completion, 10.3 Yards Per Attempt, 2,134 passing yards, 21 TD's (18 Pass, 3 Rush) vs 3 INT's through 9 games, and he's only played in the 4th QTR in one game.
Stats aren't gaudy by any measure but the efficiency is through the roof. The Bowling Green game remains a giant head-scratcher. By far his worst performance in his 22 starts at Michigan and it was a night game at home vs probably the worst team he's played all year and maybe the worst team he's started against in his career at Michigan.

Baker and Kyler The Midget have been pretty bleh in the NFL.Interesting I just said the same to a buddy of mine. There will be much more speed and better tackling by defensive linemen in the nfl so he went get away as often. Secondly, he has also had the luxury of facing some terrible defenses in the Pac12. NFL scouts likely know far more than me and they’re in love with him, but I see a lot of flaws that could lead to a bust.

Prime loses to the Beavers and UCLA finds itself 6-3 losing to 6-3 AZwatched the entire Buffs game after prime time and a short nap last night
REPORT: 12 Big Ten RBs apply for an extra year of eligibility with USC joining conference for 2024 season.won't help the QBs
watched the entire Buffs game after prime time and a short nap last nightFrom what I saw in previous games, they don't have the lines to be a force in CFB (yet). Tackling is also an issue, techhique. I don't expect them to turn it around in one season despite the hype. Maybe next year the hype will abate some and they can play football a bit.
really not impressed with Prime or his staff as far as coaching
watched the entire Buffs game after prime time and a short nap last nightHe demoted the offensive coordinator, which was odd considering the offense was what won them some games

Jeebis,Dillon Johnson husky tailback rushed for 256 yards and four touchdowns along with Michael Penix Jr. passed for 256 yards.Damn pretty formidable UW definitely getting traction and seperation in the PAC's last standJohnson laying the lumber on the final drive was a big reason why they won that game.

At a wedding. Trying to figure out if I can hitch a ride with someone, so I don’t have to stay too sober. Or if it’s a better idea to be judicious about the sauce. Can’t handle hangovers like I used to.A wrap up.
Interested to see what I can or can’t watch tomorrow. Thankfully we have 30 hour batteries and YouTube TV on our phones. So we should be able to get something out of this.
And that he convinced him to quit his head coaching job to come be his OC.Sean Lewis should land an OK job soon enough.
He is in WAY over his head. He is going to attract talent and NIL money. But he's going to have to lead on his coaches for the Xs and Os. So demoting his first OC, who he convinced to quit head coaching, 8 games in, when he was the least of the problems,.is not going to go a long way towards convincing other coaches with options to come coach with him.
Colorado isn't a great job. He should have just kept vastly outtalenting HBCUs until a school where he could acquire enough talent to outtalent enough schools, came calling
17 7 Hoosiers going into halftime. Wisconsin looks hung over from last week.Nah. They just are not a good team, and they are made worse by losing so many starters in the backfield.
