    I just got to explain the concept of "cupcake games" to my stepdad because he was wondering why a bunch of teams were playing colleges he'd never heard of this week.

    At least nebraska went down swinging. And somehow came back to cover the spread.

    To be fair to PSU, the 3rd Clarinetists for the Blue Band were in against the Nebraska actual football players by the end there.

    Yeah, my dad was legit angry that Florida State was playing Delaware State. As bad as their season is going, playing a team like Delaware State was just insulting to him.

    HOKEBOWL is now in a ridiculous driving rain storm. Tennessee naturally fumbles the opening kickoff of the second half and recovers inside their five.

    Funny enough the FSU/DSU score was what brought it up!

    Guess things really could get worse for Tennessee

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    That is basically the Brady Hoke experience. Did they lie about attendance and claim 100k when there are clearly not?

    Muffed kick #4 by Tennessee. It's like the entire Brady Hoke at Michigan tenure in one game. Someone is going to be playing with a concussion soon.

    I feel like sometimes I talk too much about my school's horrible D2 football team, who, for the record, are the "clansmen" and who haven't won a game in 3 years.

    But holy shit, SFU could host a better football game.

    This isn’t me being a homer, but UCLA should legitimately be leading this game. They’ve outplayed USC completely.

    One week after complaining about there not being any Pac-12 games in the pick'ems, I follow up by going 8-2. My only losses? Arizona-Oregon and USC-UCLA. I suppose I deserved that.

    It's going to be awesome to lose that top spot!

  • RehabRehab Registered User regular
    Aww yeah! My team might suck but its good to be in the running.

    And speaking of my hard-to-watch-due-to-their-shitiness-this-year team, there is the Nebraska VS Iowa rivalry game you could make into a pick.

    Nebraska vs Iowa, where the over/under is on how many minutes after the game Scott Frost is announced Huskers’ Head Coach. I’d start the line at 35 minutes.

    I think you made a mistake on the Cal-Stanford game. The spread was 15.5, and Cal covered that handily. Am I missing something?

  • OghulkOghulk Tinychat Janitor TinychatRegistered User regular
    Texas v. Tech is not a rivalry game and I feel like y'all chose that out of spite to me

    It's not the most intense of rivalries, but Kansas State - Iowa State is the 8th longest continuous rivalry in the college football. Also Farmageddon is the best name.

    Winning against WV made me feel like taking a long drag on a cigarette and going "the Camping World Bowl in Orlando, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time"

    Yeah probably. Just think, if you wait another season maybe major Applewhite will look good and you could hire an ex longhorn qb lol

    So, for Hate Week, we invite you all to submit your own write-up for the rivalry of your choosing. You can say anything (well, as long as you don’t break any forum rules) and be as biased as you want. Send them in a message to me, and I’ll make sure to add it to next week’s Pick’ems post.

    The not shaking hands bullshit should absolutely be a 15 yard unsportsmanlike (and count as the first strike against all of the captains) to start the game.
