A FAKE AT MIDFIELD?!?!

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 07:32 PM

Now Bama's kicker is gonna win it for em.

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 07:34 PM

That TD run was actually the best thing for UGA. They've still got 64 seconds and 2 TO's. Could have prob slid at the 2 and set up the easy FG for the win.

Sepholio 12-01-2018 07:36 PM

I hate football :/

Sepholio 12-01-2018 07:39 PM

wish they could call the facemask on the replay -_-

Sepholio 12-01-2018 07:44 PM

Where was the pass interference call on that throw to the end zone?

rez 12-01-2018 09:51 PM

I'm not understanding Urban still. Dude is in his mid 50's. He did pull that health scare @ FL. It just sounds like OSU is going to allow him to coach one more year before Ryan Day takes over.

rez 12-01-2018 10:00 PM

The coach in waiting shit is usually a disaster

Frank Drebin 12-02-2018 03:11 AM

Yes. There are violations waiting to happen Just let them make the money and then they'll be very apologetic.

Sepholio 12-02-2018 12:28 PM

Here we go.....

Sepholio 12-02-2018 12:35 PM

Oklahoma gets it

Simple Fan 12-04-2018 02:44 PM

Looks like Louisville is going with Satterfield. He's already in Louisville and should be made official around 4:30.

Better than forcing a guy out and just throwing an "interim" to the wolves. I'm still upset about that Tressel bullshit, especially since a couple years later, the thing that got him "disgraced" was being spoken of in a different light when folks were talking about that "rising star" Johnny Football.

That said, putting your hand-picked replacement over is one thing, but that replacement living up to that shine is another. Also, I guess this is why there has not been a trigger pulled on Harbaugh. You got a chance to win against the next "nobody" to redeem yourself and your school in the rivalry. Maybe.

ClockShot 12-08-2018 09:04 PM

Good lord the Army/Navy game was awful today.

Tonya Harding 12-11-2018 10:12 PM

It was like a crowbar to the knee.

Tom Guycott 12-25-2018 11:54 PM

We're still a couple weeks away from the National Championship game! I mean, if there were an actual playoff system at work, we would still be talking about college football instead of having this huge lapse. But hey, all these bowl games matter, right? Right??

Frank Drebin 12-26-2018 10:22 PM

It works just like the old NCAA football video game. Bonus recruiting points for winning the *throws dart* Music City Bowl!

Ohio State definitely making the case for why they rule and Oklahoma drools.

Hopefully Georgia makes an example out of Texas later too.

Sadly UCF's streak is over at the hands of LSU. In saying that, UCF def proved they deserve the same attention the big schools do.

That was a great game between Florida and Miami. Fuck!

Tom Guycott 08-27-2019 12:36 AM

Didn't get to see it. But I did get to see YSU step up on ESPN.

Granted, they don't really get prominently featured, nationally televised games that aren't them being the 1-AA jobbers to a 1-A power team, and playoff rounds/championship games don't really count since they're going to show whoever is playing. The last time they had a featured matchup on ESPN was back when everyone was talking about Alcorn State and how this "Air" McNair kid was going to light up the scoreboard, and Youngstown State shut that shit down all afternoon.

rez 08-30-2019 02:29 PM

Moreeeee games tonight. Army/Rice at 6pm yeesh. No time for a nap after work.

Boiler Up

Tom Guycott 09-01-2019 01:32 AM

I didn't get to see one damned game. At all.

I mean, I can catch all the highlights, but where's the fun in that?

Droford 09-07-2019 12:32 PM

I'm calling A&N beating Clemson now, you can thank me later

Sepholio 09-13-2019 06:16 PM

What are we thanking you for exactly?

Evil Vito 09-14-2019 10:37 PM

Somehow, you just knew Kentucky was going to miss that field goal.

Sepholio 09-14-2019 11:50 PM

I'm more impressed with the fact that Florida mounted that comeback after that brutal injury to their QB.

Evil Vito 09-21-2019 11:35 PM

Not going for it to ice the game on 4th and 1. Throwing it on 3rd and 9 and giving Norte Dame 40 extra seconds. Then the knuckleball punt.

It’s like Georgia is actively trying to blow it.

Tom Guycott 09-22-2019 12:47 AM

Harbaugh burning up that "lack of Urban Meyer at Ohio State" buffer pretty quickly.

On the flip side of that game, Wisconsin goes through cycles of sucking just enough to fly under the radar when they're packing heat. They go from powerhouse to mediocre and back. Looks like they're on the upswing again.

Evil Vito 09-24-2019 06:11 PM

5-star QB recruit Bryce Young flips his commitment to USC and has decided to go to Alabama instead.

Glad to see a program down on its luck get a break for once.

Tom Guycott 09-29-2019 02:09 AM

I somehow think that suplex by the Syracuse player today warrants mentioning on TPWW:

Apologies for all the dumbass graphics around it. People always have to be marks for themselves with Windows Movie Maker.

There was a better vid on ESPN, and it even had one of the announcers make a close to cringy remark about being "something out of WCW".

Vastardikai 10-06-2019 03:26 PM

They talk about the big hit on the QB, but not the second biggest hit on this play.

Tom Guycott 10-14-2019 01:26 AM

Not looking forward to seeing my boys most likely going up against Wisconsin twice in the same season... and if circumstances shake out a certain way, potentially a third time in the playoffs.

On a "good for the sport" thing, though, if they *do* meet three times, the fact that it would be two Big Ten teams makes me pretty sure the NCAA will actually move ahead on the notion they were supposedly going to move on years ago (when everyone was trying to make full 12+ team conferences with a championship game) with prioritizing conference champs instead of trying to topload the rankings with SEC teams arbitrarily.

Tom Guycott 10-21-2019 12:03 AM

... welp, this weekend took care of that.

So now, we get to play a pissed off Wisconsin, an also currently undefeated Penn State, and most likely an undefeated Minnesota team who isn't getting any press whatsoever (so, like a mystery opponent) is currently waiting at the mountaintop and poised to be in the championship game? Talk about "murderer's row".

But, you know, the SEC is the greatest conference in perpetuity because reasons. :shifty:

Bad News Gertner 10-23-2019 11:58 PM

Ugh, Michigan State are going to get pounded by Penn State. What a disappointing season, even though I knew this was going to happen.

Good. I still think it's ridiculous that Tressell got run out of Columbus and Pryor having to rush to the NFL over some of the guys trading clothes for ink (and also all the rumblings of "death penalty" because of it), but just a couple of seasons later, Johnny Football was literally taking money for autographs and nothing was said about it in relation to A&M being punished.

Personal fandom sour grapes aside, I hope they do side for the players. The archaic idea of student-athlete is outdated, exploitative, and insincere. Schools, athletic departments, bowl game executives, and head coaches (and a few of the top-tier recruits) make a ton of money off the back of a lot of guys who, for the most part, are living in their final glory days for free. And when they can't even do shit like get a work-study job or extra meals without it encroaching on their eligibility, that tells me that the system has needed updated for quite awhile now.

Simple Fan 11-01-2019 08:01 PM

They voted to allow them to profit off their likeness but are leaving it up to each NCAA division to decide how. Think they have until January to submit their proposals.

Simple Fan 11-01-2019 08:04 PM

Yeah the Ohio St. thing was fucked up. I don't think they'll ever give the death penalty again. Louisville would have gotten one if they were I think.

The problem is that people are just desperate to see it happen again just because it's there and hasn't been done since SMU; even going as far as to try to call for it with stuff that had nothing to do with the program at large being cheaters (such as the Penn State/Sandusky thing).

Southern Methodist was just so damned brazenabout recriutment violations it that it was needed in their case, because it was like they were daring someone to do something about it.

Fuck RP. I am a proud Purdue Alum. Say what you will but almost literally our whole team is fucking out on injury. Brohm is a top 10 paid coach in FBS but gonna totes give him the benefit of the doubt.

I wish we'd just switch to turf. I'm sick of the Ag school's pride in their grass that gets hard and shitty mid season.

Oh well...lots of true freshmen getting their dicks wet. Another top 25 class coming in next season.

Simple Fan 11-09-2019 03:04 PM

Kind of happy now Louisville didn't get Bromh. Don't think they'd been as successful as Satterfield has been. It seemed right but would have probably just ended like Bobby's return.

Simple Fan 11-09-2019 04:54 PM

Miami beating Louisville right now but I hate that Miami plays in Hard Rock Stadium.

Tom Guycott 11-10-2019 01:23 AM

Chase Young's season (and collegiate career if he declares for the draft) potentially over because he took a loan a couple years ago? NCAA can fuck right off to wherever it decides it can fuck off to over this nonsense.

Hope Michigan State fires Mark Dantonio at the end of the season. He used to be pretty amazing as a coach but this season has been unacceptably and inexplicably and inexcusably bad.

Louisville is a nice city. I like it very much. Their problem is they’re too close to other professional markets who would bitch about another franchise cutting into their fan base. Louisville is pretty much smack dab in the middle of Nashville, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis.

I kinda like the idea of Kentucky just being the place for horse racing and college sports. Makes it unique.

Simple Fan 11-12-2019 01:07 PM

Their USL soccer team is really good and might eventually get a MLS spot.

NBA could work and they could bring back the old ABA Kentucky Colonels. Yum center is better than most NBA arenas to but if they did expand it's more likely to be out west.

Sepholio 11-16-2019 06:12 PM

I'll be surprised if it holds, but Georgia is seriously looking to shut out Auburn r/n. Would be their 4th shut out of the year. One of the best defenses in recent history./

Sepholio 11-16-2019 06:43 PM

Yep, jinxed it :/

Sepholio 11-16-2019 06:44 PM

Oh well, still have that crazy stat of not allowing any rushing touchdowns all season.

Sepholio 11-16-2019 06:51 PM

TIL you call penalties on a review of an onside kick. Auburn attempted one and recovered and when it was put under review they were called for an illegal block before the ball went far enough for them to legally recover it. Play was overturned, they were penalized 5 yards and had to rekick. That's new.

Sepholio 11-16-2019 07:00 PM

There goes the rushing TD thing -_-

If I had to guess how this is going to shake out, LSU will arbitrarily leapfrog to 1 again, and the Buckeyes will be playing Clemson.

Louisville going to the Music City Bowl again. I went last time they played in it. Lamar's freshman year, not sure if I want to go this time around.

Not going, game is on a Monday.

Tom Guycott 12-30-2019 12:04 AM

I'm actually pretty upset by this loss to Clemson. It was a game a) they should have won even being the late start second half team they've been all year, b) that they shouldn't have let even be close enough to put into the hands of the refs like with that bullshit forced fumble touchdown callback, c) that they wasted letting Clemson march right down the field and score in 90 seconds near the end with obviously uncharacteristically shit defense, and d) I couldn't even fucking watch live; I had to stare at my phone with the little moving logos and play results.

That last one was more of a dig at ESPN+. Sure, I had the chance to stream some random NHL games, but that wasn't what I was trying to fucking see. "You need a package with your cable provider"... no, that's what I have *you* for, so that I don't pay for cable for one channel to watch x amount of saturdays a year. What's the point of you otherwise?

I think I'm going to have to readjust this Disney+ bundle and drop ESPN and Hulu. Hell, Hulu was even worse "Oh, you don't have streaming. You can get that for an addtional $55 a month". Piss on you. Again, if it were that dire, I'd be paying that for cable already. I'm not paying that to AOLTimeWarnerSpectrum, why would I pay that to you? Fuck them.

Tom Guycott 01-03-2020 12:19 AM

Helmsphere 01-14-2020 05:30 AM

Oh well. Congrats LSU

Simple Fan 01-14-2020 11:00 PM

SEC isn't going to go away. Best bet is Clemson builds up.the ACC to stop them for a bit. No other conference has the defense that the SEC does.
