[andycapps]

I hate you.

 

[bucknuticus]

Hope the streaks of both teams losing/winning goes to 3 weeks!

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

This is one slack ass thread.

 

[ag-my001]

I am terrified about this week. A&M has been starting slow but then improving during games, so that may throw Tennessee off from what they're used to. But if things go poorly here, this could be the week where a promising season falls off the rails to end up 8-4 or 7-5 even.

Since pessimism has served me well so far this year, I'll go with a 7-5 prediction. Congrats on the extra win, Mississippi State!

 

[Ganhyun]

I am just hoping that we can beat Sakerlina this weekend, if we play since the hurricane may mess that up.

 

[Lonestar]

Thinking on it, it's amazing that both Tennessee and Georgia were that horrific on hail mary defense.

Georgia's is obvious. Someone get in front of the WR's!

But here's Tennessee, in the same spot, and they let a WR and the ball get into an open spot of the zone. Was there no one already down there? Did they play straight up defense on this play?

 

[Lunar15]

Fuck Tennessee.

Anyway, I guess we've got a date with some corn dogs this weekend unless Matthew fucks it up.

Really have zero idea of who wins. Del Rio's back, but both of our lines are depleted.

It was a man to man defense. The safety got pulled to the middle of the field so there was no help. The defender for some reason slowed down on the play which allowed the receiver to get open.

It's because Ridley juked the DB and made him think he was running a shorter route and then burned past him. Safety help was late.

[Googly Eyes Dog]

The Tide wins 45 to 24, book it.

 

[jjasper]

Woof woof

And yeah Tennessee was in cover 2 with a whole lot of backups which is why everyone was so out of position. I was pretty worried about something bad happening when the drive started but Kirby Smarts time management was so bad I kinda thought we were going to get away with it.

Jim Mora Jr reprimanded by the Pac12 for comments about officials: http://www.insidesocal.com/ucla/2016/10/04/pac-12-reprimands-ucla-hc-jim-mora/

 

[andycapps]

UGA vs USCe may be moved to the Georgia Dome. Sounds like they want to see what the models say tomorrow but that may be the contingency plan.

UGA doesn't really want to do it at home because then USCe would want to have the game there next year which would leave UGA with only 5 home games. At least that's the thinking.

Wait, so if the pass had been completed, it would have been a penalty, but because it was thrown away, it's not?

No wonder Oklahoma State lost, nothing makes sense.

 

[mre]

“I’m tired of hearing Da’Ron Payne. He scored a 2-inch touchdown. He’s thinking that he ran 100 yards or something. One linebacker has got to get in the end zone. He thinks he’s some kind of world-class athlete when I’m sure that Coach Saban probably could have picked up the fumble and walked, took one step and scored a touchdown.” — Alabama linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton on defensive lineman Da’Ron Payne always bragging about his touchdown from the Ole Miss game.

 

[truly101]

So do I brave Hurricane Matthew to see Duke's last chance at victory in 2016?

Because you're interested in the girl or because there's a chance she might know Larry?

Also good god the LSU/Florida game (if it happens) might go down as the ugliest game of the year.

If she knows him, have her find out who shot Gamby.

Tune into the next podcast where we'll discuss our theories. I have a couple ideas.

Updated Hurricane Matthew projections. Looks like less impact to Columbia than thought yesterday. Looks like rain shouldn't be too much of a problem in Columbia either, unless projections change again.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Some models starting to think the hurricane makes an initial landfall in FL, then loop back around to hit FL again and go through the state.

UCF/Tulane officially postponed until November 5th. Both teams had a bye that week, which made that easier.

For sure, Russell is an awful person and Gamby isn't much better. Maybe more dumb than evil like Russ is.

Tradition is extremely important in college football, and this game is the most tradition rich game in CFB.

You guys should make Ohio state go back to a pro style offense for the game because it's tradition.

I hate to say this but I think Colorado is a one and done as far as rankings. USC is kinda legit at home.



Ugh did I really just say this?
