ND @ TAMU
If the yellow line is accurate, that was 100% over.
I’m gonna go ahead and say it, I like this uni matchup
Edit: wait did they level the bevel?
I could be wrong, but I thought the bevel went away a while ago. IIRC, most Aggies don’t like it because it was like a 1% departure from muh traditionz.
I’m not a UT fan either, but certain parts of the A&M fan base are particularly eye-rolling to deal with. No program has done less with more over the decades without admitting it.
Shoulda given himself up at the 1…
I thought the same thing. Feels like too much time on the clock
After years of the Pac12 screwing us by having late start times, I’m excited for the B1G to get us those sweet primetime slots, like
8PM PST? What the fuck!?!
Florida vs Miami
Just got back from kiddo’s coding class. Glad to see Florida is hanging in there. And dear God, Swamp Sunny Side in August… WHY? And if you are, why waste it on one of very few opponents that can absolutely handle it? I assume I can blame ESPN.
Glad to see Baron balling out for the canes! He had a weird offseason, but he’s still a VFL in my book
Florida
Backup QB
Vols sweating profusely
Well, crap. Nice drive for the 'Canes.
Crazy 4 minutes.
Yup, and some straight up cowardice after that last sack. I’ve been preaching patience with Billy, but they need to pass the eye test better this year and particularly they need to look well coached, and I’m not sure I see it.
Cam Ward looking like the real deal, and what a weird developmental path players have now.
Go Gators!
Yes! We are legion! Go Gators!
Are they using ipads or surfaces?
fwiw I’m on your side for this one. idk so much about go Canes, but definitely don’t go gators
Just once I want to see Miami live up to some preseason hype. Give me a good game, with good decision-making, big plays, and solid W!
Go Canes!
LOL, a’ight. I’m out. Too old to pretend there’s value in watching an overmatched and undermotivated team. Billy better figure shit out.
At least TCU had a good one last night. And you’ve got the TN game to look forward to! (I will never believe we are gonna win that game any season until the clock shows :00s)
Catching bits of this during the ad breaks in the Texas game, rooting for the Canes. But man, the new ABC score bug is hideous
Tailgating here at Willy B!! Go Cocks!
Go Cocks! Wasn’t there just a concert at Willy B? Or maybe one coming up? I feel like there was a thread about something like that over on Vol Nation
Hootie played at Colonial Life, but not at the stadium.
Last big thing here was the soccer match. Manchester vs Liverpool.
The soccer match is what I was thinking of, thanks
Well this just got interesting…
Not for us in the stands 😆
On lightning delay.
I hope they use this extra time to compose themselves and come out playing football 😐
We didn’t. This is ROUGH.
Go Irish! Big road win though Freeman walks well for having such big balls.
The ferret is drowning.
Nebraska vs UTEP
That Raiola pass gives me hope. The penalties to set up 2nd and 30 do not.
It seems like the Iowa Hawkeyes are still struggling on the offensive line. This will make it difficult for the offense to be productive yet again…
Didn’t catch the game, but I’d say Iowa putting up 40 is noteworthy
Yep. They looked better in the second half.
I haven’t caught any of that game, just seeing the box score, but I wonder if things are just a little off with Kirk Ferentz out. (Not like bringing him back next week is going to make the offense any better, though…)
Go Horns Go! Nice to see DKR totally full at the start of a cupcake game. Hope people stay the whole game
Arch Manning has entered the chat
Irish finally up get em boys
Get fucked Aggies
The mercy rule was invoked in the Auburn vs. Alabama A&M game. Last two quarters will be 10 minutes each. Tigers were up 52-3 at the half.
I didn’t even know college football had a mercy rule…
I wonder what the exact rule is, Vols were up 48-0 at half and I don’t think we employed any such rule
Edit: it seems that both coaches have to agree to it, but it can happen at any point, see below:
- The National Collegiate Athletic Association’s mercy rule provides, “Any time during the game, the playing time of any remaining period or periods and the intermission between halves may be shortened by mutual agreement of the opposing head coaches and the referee.” (NCAA Football Rule 3-2-2-a)
Oof, INT early in the Michigan game. Well, credit to Fresno State for making the play
First down line brought to you by TikTok
What dystopian hellscape have we wandered into that they are projecting the TikTok logo onto the field? Makes me sick
I mean I have memories of prozac? sponsoring a purple first down line for a few games as a kid…
Totally agree with the dystopian hellscape though
I just flipped over to the Northwestern game and my goodness is the field they’re using just picture perfect, right on the shore of Lake Michigan
Chattanooga vs Tennessee
Getting the backups some reps, ya love to see it
I would say were safe from a potential riot this year. Rest easy Knox Vegas
We got BRUUUUUUU on O and BOOOOOOO on D!
OHMYGOD, 3 & out, fucking fire Heupel
Isn’t he the guy that looks kinda like Bobby Hill?
Dang nabbit Bobby
Non ironically though, I love Heup. Just called time out to get the ball back with just under 2 minutes in the first half while up 45-0. Most coaches would let the Mocs burn clock right there
Also no offense, because I know it’s harder to do everything with a rush breathing down your neck. But the Mocs need a new punter
I know I make fun of pumpkin orange, but gotta say I don’t love y’all’s “Smoky” gray uniforms. Feels like Great Value non-Ohio OSU. Looked like a good solid warmup win though.
lmao, blocked punt to seal it (implying it wasn’t already sealed)
69-3
nice
I was expecting some more scoring out of the Georgia/Clemson game.
Makes sense though, with how UGA is built defensively and how Clemson has, like, 0 receivers
