    @ASimPerson @Nirya Ole Miss v LSU has "Other" with a free text entry in addition to the radio buttons to pick either team, just FYI. Also I'm picking both road teams in the 3 time zone skip Bee One Gee games so I'll either look like a genius or an idiot (and my bucks will go down making me feel even worse haha).

    I was tempted to write in “Schedenfreude” for that game

    I picked Other and put in Mississippi because Ole Miss is some racist shit.

    Thanks for the heads up, it's fixed now.

    If you picked Other and wrote in “Nobody” you would have been correct and gotten a point.

    Only two of the long travel losses have been upsets.

    Both of those were USC.

    If Oklahoma's offensive line can take a couple more steps forward this week, and can get just one of the 5 injured WR back, they can keep it close enough for the defense/lady luck to pull something out of their ass. Have to play mistake free, get a few lucky breaks, and hope Red River does what it always does.

    WKU's special "Big Red" helmets this year are delightfully weird.

    I was wondering how they’d manage some of the more conceptual mascots

    Like how do you weigh an algae bloom, or a color?

    But then it turns out they just went with what dudes dress up as so that simplifies things

    In the 4th quarter Arizona was up by 4 and had 4th and one inside their own 30. When they went for it you could tell they had just no respect for Utah's offence and Cam Rising. Of course they were right and held them to a field goal. Cam was not at all ready to come back and it looks like he only got worse as he got more beat up into the night.

    And then Dilly's post game interview.

    UW, you are only supposed to let Iowa score that much on you if you're a top 5 team coming off a highly emotional game.

    Michigan is still fine, they aren't that good and you're unranked. This game score should be 12-8.

    Odds were Alabama -21 by the time bets closed

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    Kalen DeBoer brings fascinating late game situations always. And people usually make bad decisions. Alabama stops on the last TD and they can kneel it out. Then SCar misses a wide open guy on the game tying 2. Then they get an onside kick. Then an offensive lineman catches a pass that costs them 20 seconds. Wild last two minutes.

    Watching this and the South Florida game for all but the last 5 minutes of the SF game are enough to know anybody calling this team the real deal or a contender is just looking at the win column. Nothing more, not serious people at all

    I closed the browser tab so I can't double check, but I'm pretty sure it could have been even more wild because the DB had that last pick outside the end zone then actively retreated into it. If he gets tackled there that's a safety.

  • knitdanknitdan Registered User regular
    Oh dammit Ball State you had the cover with less than a minute left

    …and here’s Georgia Tech trying to blow their game too

    It would have been a judgment call if his momentum carried him in. Was smart to bring it out and run out the clock in the process.

    Oregon is wearing all black

    Ohio State is wearing all white (though with grey helmet instead of white- this is their “sub zero” uni while the white helmet makes it the “cocaine white” uni)

    PSU-USC game had an obvious not first down, they called it a first down, psu assumed it wasn't and had their 3rd and short lineup out, call got down to 2s, psu called a timeout.

    It got reviewed, became 3rd and 1, psu didn't get charged a timeout. So effectively psu just won a challenge that they DIDN'T get a first down.

    We're going to get like a six way tie that's unbreakable because nobody plays each other. Or like the seventh best team in the conference rides an unbalanced schedule to the title game. Which will be Iowa, again. An 18 team conference with no divisions and wildly unbalanced schedules is a joke.

    It was stupid in 1990, it's been stupid every time this shit happens in the regular season, bowl games are one thing, regular seasons should not include cross country travel

    Oh those are all good reasons for not expanding. I just still think the travel stuff is overblown for football. You have a much bigger argument for the non-revenue sports though, since they play a lot more games usually.

    West Coast NFL teams historically underperform the spread traveling east. Big Ten teams have sucked on the West coast for my entire time following the sport. It's real that it's a penalty.

    It's brutal for the Olympic sports, yeah.

    So he's clearly not winning it, but Warren has to be earning himself a spot to New York this season right?
