Actually seems like the true sicko game in the early window is JMU @ UNC. Good lord is this some sloppy football. Every other play is extremely amazing, terrible, or stupidly fluke-y, and it's on both teams

Edit: and literally within a couple minutes of making that comment, both teams have turned the ball over. Both teams are averaging about 10 yards per play. There is noooooo defense in this game

Holy shit JMU putting up 60 on an P4 squad?

Edit: blocked punt right when I tuned in, fantastic

Watching Florida @ Mississippi State in the early window. I tell myself it's to scout 2 future opponents, but deep down I know it's because this is Sicko football

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 3 points 1 month ago

In the exact same boat tbh, but I'm a bulldog for this game

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

WAKE UP!!!! IT'S GAME DAY!!!!

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 month ago

I'm not much of a religious guy. But it is an objective fact that god made Saturdays for 2 reasons:

  1. Pull Sets
  2. College Football

Let's get this got dang bread

^9^ USC @ ^18^ Michigan

Gary, shut the fuck up

[–] wjrii 4 points 1 month ago

I forgot just how little I missed Brad and Gary. There's something sort of classic and cozy about the timbre of their voices if you don't listen to a single god-damned word they're saying, but they're very bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mullings with the go-ahead TD in the last minute! It is sad that Michigan's entire offense is just him, though. Literally every major gain or conversion in the 2nd half was on him

Michigan up 14-3 at half! The reports of the Wolverines' demise were, well, slightly exaggerated

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As were reports of USC's presence in big games it seems

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I just wish Lincoln Riley was as underwhelming at oklahoma as he is at USC...

Man hearing Charlie Strong who used to be the coach of Texas be regulated to the UTSA versus Houston Christian game is something. This is a like a D Squad broadcasting crew. Hell E squad. Though from the sound of it he's not good enough to be on this squad even.

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

Ugh, that is a name I'd prefer to forget. I'm surprised he isn't a DC somewhere though. Tom Herman also did the broadcasting thing for a bit and wasn't good at it either

I'm ready for the Roadrunner to disappoint me again

[–] wjrii 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

UTSA? If so, please beat down HCU. Garbage school run by garbage humans.

I had no idea there was such a thing as Title IX exemption. Gross

Florida at Mississippi State

Billy deciding he's got this shit figured out: he's doing a 2:1 ratio of Mertz to Lagway. It's yet another odd choice, and if it doesn't work, and he loses today, he might get tarmac'd in Starkvegas.

[–] wjrii 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Gators win. I am whelmed. 🤣

Billy lives to baffle another day.

[–] wjrii 3 points 1 month ago

Florida up 28-14 at halftime. They probably win today, and Mertz, as usual, looks quite decent against teams that can't pressure him consistently. Run defense is super suspect though, and maroon Bulldogs are playing hard. I'll go out on a limb and say Florida wins by 8 after MSST pulls it to within that close with under a minute left.

I don't really think a win changes much though. Billy has to surprise and probably manage a bowl; 6 looks tough though, and anything beyond that in the regular season looks almost impossible. 5-7 might save him if they look surprisingly competitive versus Andrew-Johnson-UT and/or Georgia and none of the others are unexpectedly embarrassing. If I had to guess? 4-8 but he's gone before the end of the season.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel like making an odd qb choice is essentially signing the death certificate if he doesn't win

[–] wjrii 3 points 1 month ago

LOL, nothing screams "I know what I'm doing" like a pre-announced gameplan and yanking one QB after a TD pass, and the other after a running back fumbles.

[–] wjrii 2 points 1 month ago

And the one player on the team most closely associated with Billy coughs up the ball, though at least it's followed by a 3-and-out.

I've always prided myself on being a cerebral fan, somebody who tries to understand the why's and remember the human stories even when things aren't going how people hoped, but man this Florida team is difficult to watch and I want to burn it all down. My outward wonk is in conflict with my inner Floridaman.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 month ago

We sponsoring the last 2 minutes now?

[–] wjrii 2 points 1 month ago

Early fourth, and MSST just failed on a fourth and goal. Florida up 35-21. This game is... fine.

As an aside, I've been watching Desmond Watson for years, and he is basically useless except as a 450-lb speedbump meme.

Estimating about 2 hour delay for us. Which is damn near what we had for Penn State.

We're probably gonna do the same shit too, go into locker room, Neal is gonna come up with the world's worst game plan, come back out, and just shit all over himself

[–] CMLVI 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LET'S FUCKING GO.

STAYING WAS THE RIGHT DECISION!!

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] CMLVI 2 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't say all that. Jordan Lesley still likely on staff and they won't fire Neal mid season. But it's nice to win one after last week.

Not planning to stick with this one, but I did enjoy the Arky QB inadvertently karate kicking the Auburn defender.

Utah @ Oklahoma State

Rooting for Okie Lite, just because Utah thinks that splitting the eyeballs of the 30th-largest state (population 3.4M) with an upjumped charter school makes them too good for the Big XII. 🤣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

By my quick math Gundy and Whittingham have coached a combined 492 games. This has gotta be the most experienced coaching matchup of the year, right? A quick look at UNC and Iowa's schedules seems to check out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

70 and 50?!? Football scores shouldn’t be higher than my last calculus exam.

Someone please tell defense that they should not be applying tar directly to said heels.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well I was really hoping NC state would put up a fight against clempson and make me feel better about our win but I'll just settle with poor gator play

[–] CMLVI 2 points 1 month ago

Went to the WVU opening game, got delayed against Penn St.

At this WVU game, it's getting delayed again. This, along with the injuries today, were fuckin cursed boys.
