Screw the NFL for ruining Thursday night college football, but they unintentionally gave us an awesome game between perhaps a CFP boind Texas State, and a very interesting ASU team, led by a QB who MSU made the mistake of not rolling with last year

Sam Leavitt is QB3, anyway I have a call, Ill take it in my bed.

In the other instant classic, South Alabama sneaks past Northwestern State 87-10

Damn, Texas State could have wrapped up controlling their own destiny for a CFP spot, and they would have been a bigger pain in the ass than a typical G5 best

One of my favorite parts about the Tucker experience was that he hired kind of offensive coordinator that only a former defensive coordinator early in his HC career would hire, but then was too quickly successful/fired too quickly to ever have to pivot out of that bad decision.
Like you just tied one hand behind his back (and of course, the other hand was occupied)
Weirdly, Mullen at Florida had the same thing, where the team was good enough there wasn’t the pressure to upgrade his DC.
-
I thought SP+ hating App State was one of the weord parts of the sim.
Also maybe take NC State plus the points now?
-
Thos might be a new blah in Thursday night football. does a terrible game on Amazon, really suck up all of the oxygen in the room?

They had that and the MLB playoff game on the various TVs at the restaurant we ate at tonight. I'm guessing they don't have Amazon prime, and they didn't have any of the college football games on

I'm honestly surprised by the number of times I go to a bar and no one knows how to change the channel to something someone wants to watch.

Its awful. Or then they somehow put on the bon HD channel. Or a game ends, and its just Big Bang Theory syndocated episodes endlessly

hah, small town bars will just hand me the remote

Well Sam it's football season,they'll take that over CNN/MSNBC everytime :cheer:

not sipping on Saki they don't

On more than one occasion have i handed a 20 to a bartender for the remote or to tell them what to do w the tvs.
It's a stunning thing to observe in public
-
ALWAYS tip your bartender well
ALWAYS
-
No kidding it's not like he is the IRS
-
Hey, Boston College-Virginia Tech. Now that's the decent Big East Thursday night game of my youth
-
That close loss to BC looking worse and worse
-
Yeah, how can it always seem like you're the first person to ever request a channel change in a bar? It's literally your job.
BC coming back. That INT was....something.

There is a main bartender, who is usually a shift manager, who can handle it, but is also in charge of dealing with the complicated drink orders. The rest are some hot college girls who get tipped well for...well, not their job skills

A spoilermaker opportunity tonight?

It's got all the makings of one. Oregon has been susceptible to these types of games in the desert or in the land of the tree. We'll see how Purdue's magic matches up.

Good. It’s been a rough go late for the owls, so it’s nice to see them get that. I feel a little bad because I actually very much like the liberty coach, But that school can buzz off

What's wrong with the school?
-
They aren't woke. Drive's 'em nuts.
-
My buddy, Sid Bream, attended Liberty back in the day, along with most of his boys. It's a school for evangelicals in the main, which is fine with me personally, I would not send my own there. I think "back in the day", ND was mostly for Catholics, I doubt that's the case today, probably a higher proportion of students are than is typical.
-
I don't care if they are woke or not. it's a private school set up by a grifter and now run by his grifter son
-
What's wrong with the school?
It's not a school. It's a factory for making the worst possible zealots.
-
I think of "the worst possible zealots" as being folks who are suicide bombers or who attack and kill innocent people. Maybe I missed where Liberty grads were of that ilk.
Sid Bream is an exceptionally nice fellow, as are his sons.
-
It's not a school. It's a factory for making the worst possible zealots.
They have engineering programs that are accredited by ABET.
-
All schools are run by fanatical zealots, but most are of the woke variety. There are two or three that are run by zealots of another stripe, so the zealots of the first stripe like it when their football teams lose, or some such. I don't know.
-
"We" humans are very tribal and like to have "a side". The "other side" has to be fanatical zealots who mean harm to puppies etc.
Find the usual epithets for the "other side", they are quite common.
-
What's wrong with the school?
I have respect for religious people who are about what the religion is about. And tends to be doing something hard/limiting one’s self and generally pursuing acts of kindness to others.
I have a dim view of religion that is mostly empty of those things, but driven by the pursuit of monetary gain, political power and the opportunity to be generally shitty to others.
That school represents a great deal of the latter. Opportunism in the guise of faith.
-
Gotcha. I really know very little about the school. Except that they have engineering.
-
Yeah, I have nothing against the school per se. Just the grifting family who created and ran it. I didn't realize they actually forced the son out after a sex scandal a couple years back, so if they are free of that family, then it's just a normal, good old fashioned 27 point upset.
Pretty cool for Kennesaw State, who is only in their 10th season of existence, first in FBS. As I've said about other schools, is this better for fans? They quickly became a very good FCS program. The made the playoff in their 3rd season, and proceeded to make it in 4 of 5 seasons, reaching the Elite 8 twice. Now they are a 1-6 Conference USA team. Even relatively successful schools to make the jump, like Appalachian State, is maybe winning a Sun Belt title and playing in a New Orleans Bowl better than competing for FCS titles? I get that money talks, but if I was a Kennesaw State fan, I'd be kind of bummed.
-
I kind of enjoyed the Kennesaw rise. They spent most of their time as a flex bone team, a pretty good one. Off the Paul Johnson tree, which makes sense given the geography.
I think they’ve shifted a little bit away from that, and even when they were good, some of it came from playing in a pretty cruddy conference. I’m not sure how this move up is gonna go, but I hope they do well.
-
I didn't know the school was founded by Jerry Falwell. OK then. I get it now.
He was, uh, interesting.

It’s the kind of school that is going to be very chesty about the brand of Christianity it wants to propagate, but it will also hire Hugh Freeze and the Baylor A.D. who oversaw all of that sexual assault coverup because it’s good for expanding the brand.
-
That all checks out.
-
But the engineering school makes up for it

No one should be on the side of the Falwell's ATM machine university and its hiring practices. But you keep on toeing that middle line between decent people and actual human garbage.

5-1 vs 6-0.....looks like 5-1 was pretending.
Pitt's history is interesting.
Won the NC in '76 with Dorsett, under Johnny Majors. He immediately leaves to his alma mater Tennessee and promptly goes 4-7 in '77.
Pitt hires Wazzou HC Jackie Sherrill, coming off a 3-8 season, who kicks total ass with the team, including three straight 11-1 seasons with the saltiest defenses. Couldn't run on them, couldn't pass on them, thanks to probably the best era of pass-rushing maybe ever, with Hugh Green and then Chris Doleman.
Immediately after that 33-3 stretch, Sherrill leaves to A&M for big money (sound familiar?).
Some guy named Fazio then has Pitt sub-.500 in 3 years.
-
Lol Pitt has 87 yards and is up 31-0
-
Man Kyle McCord has thrown five picks, three for touchdowns
-
Florida had the same kind of game vs South Carolina awhile back. 40-something points and only like 150 total yards.
It's odd, but it happens.
-
Pitt's schedule is about to get very legit, so if we are discussing their CFP possibilities a mobth from now, theyve earned it. I suspect they have at least 2 losses coming, maybe 3
-
But the engineering school makes up for it
I'd rather have a college of engineering than a college of... education.
-
Liberty might be an OK shcool now, I have no idea. It's origins are certainly ... interesting. I don't think they turn out zealots of the worst kind.
-
Lol Pitt has 87 yards and is up 31-0
That's a great stat, thursday. is volunteer day/nite @ the food pantry and I didn't catch any of this. But that's the Kyle we saw in tight games with expectations.But he's slinging Sammy Baugh otherwise
-
Syracuse had the ball for over 41 mintes .... and lost. Five INTs to zero.
-
tough to have the ball that long when giving it away that much
-

I kind of feel bad for him. He gets bashed at OSU, which struggled to run the ball with any great success his year there. Then he goes to Syracuse, looks pretty good, but his team can't run the ball whatsoever. They had six yards rushing last night and are 126th in the country.
-
well, if he could just pass the ball enuff to open up the run!

Well not really it's just McCord was decent in pratice or when playing lesser squads but got the deer in the headlights when going up in class.Then after gifting Booger's boys a TD(with plenty of time to throw) in a game tOSU lost by 6 he demands after the season to be the starter moving forward. Then the entitled twat was told NO - so bolt he did. And the Buckeye RBs avg 4.2 ypc,Henderson 5.9,Trayanum 4.2,Johnson 6.8 it was just keeping them all healthy. And god only knows why Hayden wasn't given a chance

Evidently Rutgers is playing the Spoiled Children in LA at 11PM,EST. Kind of a dick move they couldn't move it up to 8 or earlier. SC that desperate for a win against RUTGERS??? Sad really

USC has nothing to do with the kickoff time of the game. That's entirely the television partner's choice. So it's the fault of the B1G League Office for signing a contract that allows it.

I mean, I think part of the point of adding the West Coast teams was so there could be a big 10 game that kicks off at that time. So someone’s gonna have to catch those.

Well perhaps USC got so much home cooking for like 9 decades in the ROSE. Well then a caveat should have been inserted,specially if these two were vying for 1st place.The east coast team is getting jobbed it would be better to put them on at noon EST. Rather than dragg their asses into the next day back home
-
it's Rutgers
it was gonna happen
it will NEVER happen to Ohio St.

Complain to the B1G commissioner about it. And to all of the member schools who allowed it to happen. It has nothing to do with USC.

Well I did - last year,but nobody listened or remembers - didn't want the conferences wrecked. But did they listen? No-o-o-o
-
I don't see the point of complaining. Sometimes a team from the east will have to play a late night game out west. Sometimes a team from the west will have to play a "morning" i.e. 9 AM for their time zone) back east.
Rarely do I think it'll happen for a ranked vs ranked matchup. But for all the "don't care" games, who cares?
-
Hey, Boston College-Virginia Tech. Now that's the decent Big East Thursday night game of my youth
Was remembering this once Pitt-Syracuse kicked off last night. The old Big East haunting Thursday nights. Reminds me of my first salary job out of college. When a new CEO decided to move our Washington DC headquarters elsewhere, many of us took jobs in field offices on the rim. Once in a while enough of us would be working together at a certain field office, like in Portland, that it was like our Washington DC days again. That’s how some of these Thursday night games have felt like the lost Big East. Now how about a Thursday for Rutgers-West Virginia? Cincinnati-Louisville?
And for all the references to “religious people” and “zealots” —

BTW nice catch there CAT

Yup. The B1G took the money with a big smile and an open palm-- these are the consequences.

I had some video conferences with one group in Japan and another in Germany. It would be about 10 AM EST, for us. Ha. Suckers.

Well I certainly don't mind having a late night Friday game to watch.

-

I more meant for people who make decisions.
then again, more than 58% of my regular season games as a five-year undergrad were at 11 AM. So that wasn’t exactly peaches and cream.
-
I loved the early kickoffs. We generally didn't go out Friday nights before home games, but were up and going by 6 am. Game ended around 3:30, 2 hour power nap, then go hard again.
-
I never personally disliked the 11 AM kickoffs. But the charitable tailgate party definitely brought in a LOT less money for an early kick, than it did for a 2:30 or 7 PM kick.
-
In Indiana we were eastern time, so it was always noon for home games. Kegs out on Slayter Hill by about 8:30, piss drunk by kickoff, back to Slayter a few more beers after the game (or earlier if we were getting housed), then back to the fraternity house to pass out for a few before parties kicked off again Saturday night.
It's a wonder I survived college...
-
I never drank before games, so a late start was a loooong day. 11AM was perfect. Get to the parking lot at 5:30, set up, cook breakfast, and poof. Time to walk to Camp Randall and watch football. Back to the tailgate, start drinking, watch the PM games and cook linner. Perfect day.

I look back at my ability to be drunk at three in the morning for like a week straight, and it just blows my mind. I literally tried to pack so much into my last week as a student that I physically could not speak for one of the days, which made it very weird to have family in town.

Yes. I was only able to see one game in college - 1992 OSU. I worked in Illinois every weekend other than that one game. I rarely drank while in college. No time for that. I've made up for it.

One of them is an actress/director/comedian in LA. She's married to this guy, from Better Call Saul:

The one in DC is a psychology prof for some small college I can't remember the name of. She was pretty crazy in high school, but that turned out to be good for me in a lot of ways, so... :)

Guys, if this thread was going to go off the rails, it was supposed to be before we got VT-BC and Pitt-Syracuse. We are back to getting the 2nd best Big East game each week, which is what Thursday nights were built for!
-
I know, but the way you worded your post I was thinking that you meant Billy Madison style for just a moment, and I was like "why would an engineer struggle with Kindergarten? Don't you get to go home at lunch anyway?" But then I thought about it the right way and posted what I did in case anyone else had a similar train of thought.

I predict that Rutgers will be decent in the first half before sleepwalking through the second.

If something like the 70-team league happens, there could be a Big East division within that super conference. Would be neat.

My first wife has disappeared, to somewhere, my kids don't know where she is, and they prefer it that way. She got onto some weird religious kick at some point and thought the world was about to end, imminently, back a decade or so. My own situation was such that a divorce was absolutely necessary for my kids. They didn't tell me some of the stuff that happened when she had them (every other weekend) until much later, fortunately, I would have gone to child services and tried to cut off her contact.
-
So the contenders, and their case.
ELA - still married to her
Badge - she had a sour disposition
Cincy - had to be a single father
Fearless - doesn't even want to talk about it
Alpha Beta - taken to the cleaners
-
sour disposition, nearly had to be a single father - would have been better if she would have disappeared, & taken to the cleaners
-
So, D) All of the above.
-
The age requirement for marriage should be something like 23 or 25 (said no divorce attorney ever).
-
The best thing about the first wife is learning what you want in your second wife

Woke up late. Watching some friends’ dogs. Trying to run some errands before lunch with friends from out of town.

The spoiled children came through. When you look at some of their pieces, they’re kind of impressive, which makes a 4-4 record all the more impressive.

I don't think an engineer would necessarily find it impossible to deal with kindergartners. Some might, some might be fine.
I'm not an engineer but I coached T ball several times which is probably somewhat similar. It's not as if teaching 5 year olds is that much of a task. It would require some patience.

I coached baseball for both of my boys, starting at 6 y/o, but kids are different now. Who knows how we'd do today, who knows how well 'Fro will do when he hits my age. Probably retired with 35 years?

You'd have to pay me a LOT of money. A hell of a lot more than a kindergarten teacher makes.
I actually think I have an aptitude for teaching. But I don't have an aptitude for teaching young or immature kids, or dipshits. Which means that I don't think I'd have any luck teaching anyone who doesn't want to be there, meaning about the lowest level I could probably stomach teaching would be some high school AP science or math sort of thing.
Those who teach elementary / middle school are doing something that I absolutely KNOW I'd fail at, if I didn't quit first.

Like I said, I know I couldn't...
...I can't even be patient with Fro! :57:

It's probably tougher to imagine a kindergarten teacher doing engineering.

Sorry, I completely misread your response... I thought you were saying, "Hey, my brother, why not go and become a college prof?" Didn't realize you were talking about your own brother.

They have an excuse. Ya'll don't.

I don't think an engineer would necessarily find it impossible to deal with kindergartners. Some might, some might be fine.
I'm not an engineer but I coached T ball several times which is probably somewhat similar. It's not as if teaching 5 year olds is that much of a task. It would require some patience.
Ignorance.

Shocking !
Had opportunities. Have a 'love of my life.'
No thanks. I don't want to be with anyone every day. Not my best guy friend. Not a talented lady that's into me.
Pass.

Sorry I can't join in on the bitch-fest of past poor decisions.

Kindergarten is the girliest teaching job that one can acquire, no?

Liberty goes down again, this time to the Fightin' RichRods
Looks like CUSA is going to come down to Jacksonville State-WKU, who are both undefeated, and play each other in the season finale
It would be kind of cool if they could make it a 4 team tourney for that Group of 5 bid, put a little more meaning in this. I think they only way it works is to either cancel CCGs for those conferences, and do the semis on CCG Saturday, with the championship on Army-Navy Saturday, or push their CCGs up to Thanksgiving weekend.
Granted, I'm guessing even with that, the CUSA champ would still be the one champ left out. Either them or the MAC Champ.
Going by current standings/composite rankings it would be
#4 Western Kentucky at #1 Boise State
#3 Louisiana at #2 Army
Left Out: Western Michigan

Since Sam didn’t start a thread yet- I will put this here.
Watching Boise v SDSU. Have seen 3 obvious targeting ( based on what I see called in other games). Not a single flag even thrown.
So damn inconsistent.

I can't believe that San Diego and Brady Hoke have parted ways.

On tagetting, I can see why the field refs could miss it, it's bang bang. THe magical booth should see the possibility of it.
I agree the rule should be modified. If the ball carrier lowers his head, it should be removed. And can the ball carrier himself be called for it? Should be.
The idea is to protect the person hitting the other right?

Sterling Big Ten matchup tonight. 4-5 UCLA @ 5-5 Washington airing on FOX. Both looking to improve their bowl standings. With a Las Vegas Bowl on the line? Washington closes their season at home. 5-0 thus far this season. With a 19 game home streak on the line. It's supposed to be a "black out" game.
If I remember correctly all the way back to 2010 when Sark was coaching the Huskies, Washington's first "black out" game was also a weeknight game Vs UCLA. Jake Locker’s last game. In which both teams were fighting for a shot at a Bowl, like now. On the other side, UCLA has won 3 straight after starting 1-5.
In other news, Washington Athletic have bizarrely entered into an NIL partnership (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/washington-announces-world-of-warcraft-20th-anniversary-nil-deal-with-blizzard-entertainment/) with World of Warcraft: "As part of the deal, Washington will become the "University of Warcraft" in the days leading up to its matchup against the Bruins. As part of the agreement, players will promote the "University of Warcraft" on social media, a custom logo will be revealed, "World of Warcraft" mascots will lead the team onto the field, the student section will receive themed shirts and more."
Brand partnerships work when the target consumers for those brands heavily overlap - see example:

Bizarre, because I can't imagine football fans share much overlap with World of Warcraft gamers:

MSU transfer Katin Houser looks like a guy who could work his way back up into a P5 role. He wasn't ready as a RS freshman, and I still think he's too small. But, aside from the interceptions last night, he looked pretty good. He seems like a one read guy, but he looked pretty good on the RPOs that MSU didn't run with him.
Maybe he'll just be a good 2.5 year starter at ECU, but I wonder how many of those guys exist anymore. Particularly ones who have a 4* pedigree coming out of HS.
