College football

[Vrede too]

Do I know UNC football, or what?
And the U had to take the week off to keep from losing to somebody else.
And next week they play each other.
Good lord.

Losing to 1-4 FSU in Chapel Hill is especially humiliating.

[O Really]

Losing to 1-4 FSU in Chapel Hill is especially humiliating.

One would think. But with the series 16-3 in favor of the 'Noles. They're probably used to it.

[Vrede too]

GO:

@Texas A&M (3-2) > 1 Alabama (5-0). Alabama is favored by 17.5!

Oh my, Texas A&M is leading 24-10 at the half. C'mon Aggies, don't get OK-ed.

[O Really]

Aggies rule!
I'm sorry for all those Aggie jokes I've enjoyed over the years. Not worthy, not worthy!

GO:

@Texas A&M (3-2) > 1 Alabama (5-0). Alabama is favored by 17.5!
Wow, walkoff FG by unranked @Texas A&M. Buh-bye 19 game win streak. First time that a former asst coach has beaten Saban.
25 @San Diego State (4-0) > New Mexico (2-3). Go O Really, but who would have guessed that your team would have the 2nd most lopsided spread in the top 25, 19.5? San Diego State is only the 2nd favorite that I want to win. It's not looking to be a good day.
8 min left, but at 31-7 I'll call it a San Diego State win, 5-0. Congrats!

Non-top 25:
@USC > Utah. USC is favored by 3.
Nope, Joseph Smith wins.

I'm 5-7, but the top 10 Bammer, PSU and BYU losses makes it a great day regardless of other games. I think that I would have done pretty well vs the spreads.

Losers: #s 1, 4, 10, 13, 18, 21.

You once said that Bruce Pearl was crazy. Look at him at a football game

Did I? I had to look up who he is just now. Here's the only time I can find that I mentioned him:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2124&p=94209&hilit= ... arl#p94209

Otoh, you and 1 FAT CAN had some dispute about him:
search.php?keywords=Bruce+Pearl

I'd rather see Madi Prewett shirtless.

All of that WDE excitement must have been before the game started.

1st quarter we looked pretty damn good, but then came the rest of the game.

I can't find it either. I searched crazy and insane. You commented something similar the time time you saw him. It must have been after the AU v Duke game in Maui.
He is insane on the sidelines, I wish I could remember what you said.

Do you remember watching the game?

No.

You refer to it here, but I still can't find my original statement.

... As Vrede said, "your coach is insane", As I believe until I see anything different, he's also a great guy....

Maybe before stalker Mr.B got me to get my original account deleted in 2014?

No, it would have been 2019. It must have been someone else.

Okay, now that we've unsolved that. Starting fresh. Ain't my basketball coach crazy?

Edit: confirmed
Vrede I confused you with a toothless Cherokee bammer hating friend. He got a kick out of Pearl's antics

Sorta, but shirtless in Madison in late Nov would be really crazy.

Happens all the time.

That sucked

Silver lining: Y'all lost to the unanimous best team in the nation.

AP Top 25

1 Georgia (62 votes) 6-0 up1
2 Iowa 6-0 up1 Nice.
3 Cincinnati 5-0 up2 Is that a record for a non-Power 5 team?
4 Oklahoma 6-0 up2
5 Alabama 5-1 down4 A cynic might say that any other team would have dropped further after losing to a then unranked opponent. I'm a cynic.
6 Ohio State 5-1 up1
7 Penn State 5-1 down3
8 Michigan 6-0 up1
9 Oregon 4-1 down1 Hurt by the bye. Next up Cal in Eugene.
10 Michigan State 6-0 up1

17 Arkansas 4-2 down 4 Big penalty for going for 2.

19 BYU 5-1 down9

21 Texas A&M 4-2 was unranked

24 San Diego State 5-0 up1

Others receiving votes:
(26) Auburn 106 votes
(27) Clemson 63 votes
(32) Appalachian State 4-1, 2 votes (the coach and his mother )
Tue, Oct 12: @Louisiana 4-1
Wed, Oct 20: 15 Coastal Carolina 6-0
2 wins should = top 25.

Dropped from rankings: Auburn was #18 Ouch, long fall for losing to #1.

[Vrede too]

GO:

6 @Montana (3-1) plays Utah's Dixie State (0-4). It could win and still drop in the polls.

Dixie State 14, #6 Montana 31. Cool, 0-3 at the half made me nervous. #s 2 and 3 both lost. :!:

(4-1) Montana is up to #5 in STATS, stayed at #6 Coaches.
(6-0) Eastern Washington is #2 and (5-1) Montana State is #9. Go Big Sky Conf!

There's an unbeaten team, unlike AL , to root for tonight:
#24 SDSU 5-0, favored by 10, @San Jose St 3-3
Fri, Oct 15, 10:30 PM EDT
But, I don't get CBSS.

Also:
#9 @Oregon 4-1, favored by 13.5, vs California 1-4

Go SDSU and Ducks!

Also tonight:
Clemson Tigers (3-2, 2-1) @ Syracuse Orange (3-3, 0-2)

Go Orange. Crush those Pussies.

Yeah, that's how sucky Clemson is compared to previous years. This won't bump them back into the Top 25.

Woohoo, in 2OT! 6-0, already Bowl eligible. Congrats, O Really.

OR 24, Cal 17. Very exciting 4th quarter, all the way to the last second. OR could even slide in the polls depending on other Top 10 games.

Go SDSU and Ducks!

Nice.

TV: 40 ranked teams have been upset or lost (I think they said it both ways ) this year, most ever, half to unranked opponents. 49 different teams have been ranked.

Does that say more about the teams, the games, or - perhaps - the people who rank and pick? Seems the hapless 'Heels were originally #10.

Speaking of UNC and the U, a scoreless tie would seem appropriate, symbolic of the futility of their seasons. Sure, 3-3 and even 2-3 isn't a total washout, and there was the Dook stomping, but the lack of consistency and uncanny ability to lose to a supposedly lesser team doth not bode well for the rest of the season.

Good questions. Idk. Is there some mechanism creating greater parity, or one creating dumber sports writers?

So, you're rooting for equal frustration today?
