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

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...

UK @ UF

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

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Carbon copy of Florida's previous TD drive. Nice run after a long completion down the seam sets them up. Somebody is NIL'ing the living bejeezus out of Lagway next year. I hope it's UF.

Well, THERE's the special teams breakdown that comes from not prioritizing it and tempting the football gods by calling it the "GameChanger Coordinator."

27-13 Gators after a weaving, slightly crazy KO return. And after some mild silliness, that's how we go to halftime.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I am trying to check on this game during the ad breaks in the Texas game but they keep lining up

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Y'know, uhh, if you wanted to, there's room over here for fans that suddenly find they dislike UGA.

Just sayin'.

^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

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Texas is getting embarrassed. Nuts.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 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

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.

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

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

Calling a TO only 10 seconds into the game? Okay...

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Official put a little mustard on that flag lol

I genuinely thought it came out of the stands at first and was ready to go full Zapruder film on trying to find the perpetrator

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

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

ND v GA tech-

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

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Michigan @ Illinois

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

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god those are horrendous... I love it

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you haven't seen it, check out how Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson, and Jenny Dell went along with the 1920s theme in the embedded tweet here

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

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 3 points 10 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...

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Texas is back... in the garbage.

[–] CMLVI@lemmy.world 3 points 10 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.

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.

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

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

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

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 4 points 10 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 10 months ago

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

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.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hadn't really thought about it that way, but you're honestly right. I guess I'm still hoping that we break one and make it an 11 point game

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Interception is close enough? LOL

At this point in the season the only thing that I want is for Navy-Army to be an undefeated match-up.

^15^ LSU @ Arkansas

Would really love an upset here, for reasons

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (14 children)

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. 😑

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.
