Final thought about the weekend:

That Florida receiver was robbed.  He caught that ball, and I consider the video evidence clear and irrefutable, unless you think the oblong football magically grew a third pointy end for a fraction of a second, which touched the ground, and then vanished into the ether from whence it came.  

Piecing together from multiple angles, each end rested on top of the player's forearms, and there's no way the widest part of the ball at the middle protruded far enough between the forearms to touch the ground.  Yeah, you couldn't see under there to prove there was space between the ball and the ground, but if you have any concept of geometry, spatial reasoning, and an IQ above 50, you can deduce it's not possible for the ball to touch the ground from what you can see.  

No idea if it would've changed the outcome of the game, but he got robbed all the same.

So ANOTHER questionable call that goes Georgia's way! Thing is the call your talking about isn't the TWO others I had in mind as generously going Georgia's way. Both were fumble reviews: 1) Near the end of the half a fumble call against Gunner Stockton was ruled an incomplete pass (allowing Georgia to end the drive with a FG), AND 2) late in the with Florida up and driving deep, a long review determined that Florida's quarterback had in fact fumbled, reversing the call on the field and giving Georgia the possession needed to take the lead late.

THREE calls generously going Georgia's way during pivotal moments Vs Florida.

(last year's game Vs Georgia Tech when the Refs refused to call holding on Georgia's OL)

Tennessee just Tennessee'd. 

There's a weird hump they just can't seem to get over, and if they have the pieces and the plan to do it, they find a way to self-destruct instead.  I don't watch them a ton, but in the games I do catch, they're like watching a more mentally tough version of LSU.  Unlike us, you won't bully them or make them so confused you mistake their incompetence for quitting, but similar to us, they're determined to find ways to lose sometimes.

Yep. Josh Heupel screwed up time management in the last minute-plus against Georgia and ended up kicking a hasty game-winning FG try that failed. Then he lost in OT.

Also, I'd like to add for the record that those black unis are wretched, and the crowd is even worse.  Did not look like Neyland Stadium.  Burn all of them and wear the damn orange like you're supposed to.

In principle, I dislike alt-unis intensely. Throwbacks are OK, as they effectively honor the program's past. OU has a couple of alts and I dislike both of them. One is the "anthracite" uniform, dark gray with crimson helmets and trim. It was inaugurated after some stupid a-hole wearing black-face was seen walking across campus. It was supposed to promote team unity and racial harmony. It just looks stupid to me. Our other one is the "rough-neck" uni. It's red-and-cream colored, and the red parts have a wood-grain look, supposedly to emulate the wagons that the '89ers rode into the territory of the Oklahoma Land Run. It just looks stupid to me.

And, yeah, those black Tennessee uniforms were bad. Meaning "not good."

So true

Chase Daniel still eats boogers.  

quoting rather than re-embedding the X post: Texas A&M has played 5 conference games this season. The Aggies SEC opponents are currently 6-20 in conference play, and all 5 of their opponents played to date have a losing SEC record. Just an unbelievably favorable SEC schedule for Texas A&M.

I hope by now that the Aggie fan base can get past the negativity and self-defeating sense of doom they've spread across the socials, and can step back and see what a truly special season Texas A&M is having.

9-0 and ranked #3

The above X post only wants to traffic in the negative. To counter, the post ignores:

-that Texas A&M is 3-0 Vs the Ap Top 25
-Texas A&M's road win Vs a likely playoff bound Notre Dame
-ignores how physically dominating A&M has played, especially in the 2nd half, especially as the season has moved along
-ignores another subtlety: sometimes a win psychologically breaks the other team, and they don't recover well, and so the collective 6-20 conference record is something Texas A&M caused rather than exclusively benefited from

Welp, Florida finally caved in and quit.  Got blown out by the 2nd-worst team on our schedule.  Our entire schedule.  At least we finally benched Captain Turnover.  Potential only matters if it's realized.  Ugh.

Better get a legit HC or they'll be an exodus of the actual talent on the roster.  Fun times.
