College football

[Vrede too]

Maybe even UNC will qualify some year.

Sure, maybe they'll be playing the Big10 Champion Terps for all the marbles. That would probably be about the same time that the Nomadic A's win the Series and Jasmine gets named WNBA commissioner. Of course, stranger things have happened - we do have Trump again as president*.

On a more positive note your other boys are back in action tonight. After a soft start last weekend, college football is BACK.

Thanks for the help. Often your rooting is a kiss of death. Maybe this is your year. Have you bought your lottery tickets?

There it is, "kiss of death."

You're doing a heckuva job, Billie.

You suppose Bellichick forgot to show them his rings?

You suppose Belichick forgot to show them his rings?

What does he care? He showed them to the UNC AD. He could try a pic of Brady on the forehead of every helmet.

I wonder how often a team has scored on both a pick 6 and a sack-scoop 6.

Guess NC is still a basketball school.

Couple of good articles here: https://sports.yahoo.com/article/kirk-h ... 49060.html

Looks like the dew's off the lily, the honeymoon is over, the fat lady is asking if it's time to go warm up.

Several times in the articles they mention "greatest NFL coach" "6 rings" yada, but not once did they mention Bill's record in games without Brady.
