The average ancient Egyptian's diet consisted almost entirely of grain.

This was sustaining, but only barely. Compared to contemporary societies in every direction, they lived shorter lives, had smaller stature, and poorer health. The coarse millstones left grit in the flour that wrecked their teeth over the few decades of their lives.

It was, of course, all they had.

My college football soul is being nourished entirely by the grain of FSU's sucking and it is sustaining, but only barely.

I'm intentionally not tuning into this one so as not to jinx it. I hold a degree from the red school, but, well, frankly, fuck 'em.

UCF @ TCU

Frogs looking good in the early going. Hoover is very sharp, and Savion Williams is probably going to get drafted in the first round and then completely forget how to play football, as is tradition for TCU #1 WRs.

UCF is going to wear some teams down, though.

Cardiac Knights are back!

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

FUUUUUUUUUCK. Well, that happened. GG Knights.

Seems like one of the teams UCF will wear down is TCU, but they're going to have to stop the Frogs several times, and also get at least one 2pt conversion because their entire kicking unit seems to somehow have the yips.

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

Ugh. Tired Frogs D gets a critical late-game stop, and suddenly the TCU playcalling turns to overly conservative garbage.

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

Why wasn't kick-catch interference called, especially since they talked about it for a while?

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

Kent State @ ^5^ Tennessee

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

37 pts in a quarter, older-UT record!

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

I will refrain from making a UT rebuttal as long as the Vols deliver this same energy to ou next week

LOL. Before UTSA had their 12-win season in 2021, they were frequently mislabeled as USTA (the tennis association), which I could understand. But the University of Texas getting mistaken with the Southwest Texas State Normal School? I am insulted

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

Are you disrespecting Toobin' State University? Alma Mater of LBJ and home of the Center for Texas Music History?!?!?!?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (4 children)

UTSA @ ^1^ Texas

The first (and until now, only) time these teams met was in 2021, when I was a professor at UTSA. I showed up to that game in Texas gear but rocked a UTSA hat, thinking I could root for both teams. As soon as it kicked off though, I realized I could only root for my alma mater. Soooo UTSA, I love ya, but go horns go

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

Big man pick six!!!

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

Uh, Traylor, what are you doing icing your own kicker? Really weird use of a timeout there, and it cost UTSA 3 points

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

While I'm glad Arch was able to step right in and lead to a TD, I'm really concerned about Ewers... If he's a little banged up, I'd like him to heal up and not aggravate anything

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

I hate the commodification of injuries, especially at this level. The kid is hurt and is obviously hiding from the camera on his way out, you don't need to track him all the way to the locker room

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

Well, that INT is not going to aid Ewers' Heisman campaign...

Texas A&M @ Florida

This Florida team looks so unremarkable. I know the weather is ass... but so are Billy's Gators. If A&M didn't play dumb, the score would be a lot worse.

On the plus side, I boiled some peanuts the other days, and I just warmed some up.

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

Why does Desmond Watson, the largest of the foot-ball players, not simply eat the others?

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

Christ on a cracker, Florida is making the tin soldiers from Aggieland look like a good team.

TCU better not suck this bad tonight.

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

Ok, ngl that hold kinda hurts me. The sheer effort from Badger should be commended

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

Phew. Badger got his score.

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

Billy: "We need to get some rhythm on offense."

Also Billy: "Yeah, we're gonna keep switching quarterbacks."

I'm gonna tell ya'll a secret. A 2-QB system has never been a good thing at Florida. Palmer, Johnson, Brindise, and young Grossman all had holes in their games, and the Leak/Tebow thing was not a true time-share.

Aww, poor Stains the Aussie... He's seen some shit. Like the discipline of a Napier-coached Gator team.

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

This is one of the best setups for a college game. Backup qbs, miserable weather, sloppy play, the gators are losing just about everything you could ask for

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

God I hate you, Dulcimer-UT.

🤣🤣🤣

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

Jokes on you, I love the dulcimer, banjos too

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

Look, friendo, we're way beyond things I actually dislike about east Tennessee. Mountain dulcimers are lovely, both as music and as luthiery.

Does this one have a name or trophy?

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

According to Wikipedia, it's called the "Battle of the Brothers" (never heard that name before). But apparently, they and BYU all play for the Beehive Boot. What an amazing trophy! Things like this are why I love cfb

The game has been in weather delay for awhile. Just give me my football game!

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

You can come check out the other florida game that got a weather delay, you might enjoy this...

Just saw that Pitt kid throw a bottle at WVU, please don't guys.

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

Just tuning into this one. I don't watch much Pitt football or any NFL, so I missed that they changed the name from Heinz Field. And they removed the giant ketchup bottles? Is nothing sacred in America?

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

Only South Carolina can find a fool proof way to snatch defeat from the hands of certain victory 😐

Notre Dame at Purdue

Driving home from Raleigh looking like a crazy person yelling at the South Carolina refs through my radio!!!
