Go Irish! Big road win though Freeman walks well for having such big balls.

The ferret is drowning.

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...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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)

Shoulda given himself up at the 1...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

I thought the same thing. Feels like too much time on the clock

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

Oof, INT early in the Michigan game. Well, credit to Fresno State for making the play

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Nebraska vs UTEP

That Raiola pass gives me hope. The penalties to set up 2nd and 30 do not.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Go Horns Go! Nice to see DKR totally full at the start of a cupcake game. Hope people stay the whole game

Florida

Backup QB

Vols sweating profusely

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Glad to see Baron balling out for the canes! He had a weird offseason, but he's still a VFL in my book

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

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)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, crap. Nice drive for the 'Canes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Are they using ipads or surfaces?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

fwiw I'm on your side for this one. idk so much about go Canes, but definitely don't go gators

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yes! We are legion! Go Gators!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Tailgating here at Willy B!! Go Cocks!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well this just got interesting...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Not for us in the stands 😆

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

On lightning delay.

I hope they use this extra time to compose themselves and come out playing football 😐

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

We didn't. This is ROUGH.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hootie played at Colonial Life, but not at the stadium.

Last big thing here was the soccer match. Manchester vs Liverpool.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

The soccer match is what I was thinking of, thanks
