ESPN's College Gameday

Really glad they moved the set back to the South Mall after having it next to the LBJ Presidential Library the last several years. The Tower makes a much better backdrop than DKR. Although I don't love that they used Smokey the Cannon to blow a hole through Beck's jersey. I was at Gameday in 2019 when they did that to Joe Burrow's jersey and remember how that turned out...

Technically, do Army and Navy have unlimited NIL money provided by us taxpayers? πŸ€”

^12^Georgia @ ^1^Texas

Georgia may be fast on the streets, but our players are faster than theirs on the field. Horns by a million

Texas is getting embarrassed. Nuts.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

OK y'all, I've got to make an important meeting early in the morning so I have to get to bed. If (when) Texas loses, I will update the banner but it's going to be in the afternoon tomorrow

lmao @ emo Bevo. That's quality content there

I had never seen that before and it made me chuckle. Unfortunately that's been the highlight of this game for me thus far

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Reports of HEB-UT's demise may have been exaggerated.

Tangentially, I had their quick-service BBQ restaurant's brisket today. The fatty is much better than the lean, but overall not bad at all, and the brisket baked beans are an excellent side.

Not sure I agree with putting in Manning, it's the oline not protecting Ewers that's the problem...

Agreed. I know Sark is just trying to get a spark, but trusting in the defense and trying to come out swinging in the 2nd half would be a better gameplan

Carson Beck is an outstanding quarterback

Says Herbie, on the play Beck throws his 2nd INT (which should have been his 3rd) in the first quarter

Michigan @ Illinois

Not sure if Illinois' unis are a crime against humanity or a brilliant fashion statement

UK @ UF

I'll watch this one so y'all don't have to. Florida opens the scoring with a FG.

I guess the refs decided that they've flagged LSU enough. No more penalties for them?

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

There's a reason why our state motto is "While I breathe, I hope" because damn it, SC is making me feel hope again...

At the LSU-Arkansas game in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a major water main has caused major damage to the main intersection used for going to parking on campus. Plan accordingly.

TCU @ Utah

I'm too old for the B12 to have late games, especially when the Frogs shit the bed with a red zone fumble. 😑

Indiana @ Nebraska

The stat that Indiana leads the series all time 10-9-3 threw me for a loop, but looking it up it's because Indiana won 7 consecutive meetings in the 1940s...

[–] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Our (Nebraska's) second half performance does not give me any hope for the rest of this game.

Time for my biased Miami review. Their offense is top notch, and can keep them in any game. Their defense and special teams are absolute garbage.

Without Cam Ward, this team would probably be 3-4, unfortunately.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Watching I was just blown away by Ward, he's got my non existent Heisman vote right now. Watching him reminded me of Young in the 22 TSIO game where he was the only reason that game wasn't a blowout for us

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

There is no way that Miami is yet again going to come down to a review late in the game

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Good Lord that was the worst tackling I've ever seen

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

This one is shaping up to be a good one, all tied up early in the 4th.

Watching Army for the first time this year and they are unlike any Army team I've ever seen. They can make awesome downfield passes, but still haven't lost their ability to churn out yards and slowly march down the field either. I love it

[–] CMLVI@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I'm just here to make my weekly "Neal Brown is a fucking clown" comment. Like seriously, 45-10, except we got a pity TD to make it 18 and they scored with 25 left and they didn't give it to them. It's so tragic I spent $1k on season tickets to watch this bullshit. 1 1/4 enjoyable games at home. Watched us die against Penn State (with a 2 hour weather delay). We beat Albany. We beat Kansas (and looked like shit for 3 quarters and also had another 2 hour weather delay). Got the shit kicked out of us at a night game by ISU. Got the shit kicked out of us even worse tonight by KSU. Only have Baylor and UCF left; Baylor just beat up on Zona, and UCF plays ISU way closer than we did.

This team is painful.

Refs just handing the game to Georgia

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a refs change a call like that holy crap

ND v GA tech-

Irish handle it. Not the best performance I guess but it worked. I blame the white pants.

^11^ alabama @ ^16^ Tennessee - The Third Saturday in October

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Are the cigars a Smoky/Great Smoky Mountains thing? If so, I get it, but there is nothing quite so eye-rollingly bougie as 20-year-olds lighting up a stogie in a golf-shirt. 🀣

GG, Vols. Y'all are uglying your way to a good year.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Saturday_in_October#Victory_cigars

In the 1950s, Jim Goostree, the head athletic trainer for Alabama, began another tradition as he began handing out cigars following a victory over the Volunteers.[10] Both teams continued the tradition for some time, though kept it secret due to NCAA rules concerning extra benefits and tobacco products. Alabama publicly restarted the tradition in 2005, though as a result, self-reported an NCAA violation.[11] Every year since 2007, the winner of the Alabama–Tennessee game knowingly violates the NCAA rule and reports the violation in honor of tradition.[12]

Edit: lmao they've already updated the 2024 results

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Ahh, there we go. I should have known that an eye-rollingly bougie CFB tradition would have started at Bama. 🀣

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

LETS FUCKING GO, YOUR LITTLE PISSBABY ANTI TEMPO BULLSHIT CAN'T STOP THE HEUP TRAIN BABYEEEEEEEEEE

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

Not sure I disagree with Bama having gone for this. You need a three and out either way, it's just that you're likely down 7 instead of 4 if you pull it off. OT/2pt is arguably a small price to pay for one more play where you control your destiny.

^15^ LSU @ Arkansas

Would really love an upset here, for reasons

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Just switched over to your game to check the score and my goodness. Y'know what, screw our strength of schedule, banish ou to the bottom of the SEC standings, please
