Board 8 > College Football Discussion Topic: Part 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

Many students don't have cars. Here in Madison, students can just walk to Camp Randall since it's on campus, no need to drive. The student section may fill up as the game goes on if some of them are out getting smashed.

Well, LA is a notoriously fairweather sports town anyway

This is also true. LA sports fans are eagerly anticipating the Dodgers in the NLDS. Rams are also popular given their Super Bowl triumph but they have to maintain winning for the momentum to last more than a season. People in LA are only engaged with their team(s) when those teams are winning. They sometimes bandwagon a team that they don't usually root for if they start winning, so long as that team is in LA or Inglewood; LA fans hate that the Anaheim Angels go by "The The Angels Angels." However, there's an exception: The firm split between USC and UCLA. People like one and hate the other, and will NEVER root for the one they hate. That plus the sizeable stadium and the trek to Pasadena make it clear to me.

But keep in mind that, in case it wasn't obvious, Buffy goes to UCLA, so she'd know a lot more than you, Leon. Or me, for that matter.

Also, back on topic: So glad my Badgers obliterated Northwestern. A very necessary recovery after that shitty week. We needed that rebound badly to go into Sparty next week with enough confidence to actually pull off a win in their house.

I know they're playing with their backup, but I kinda expected Bama to be up by 3 touchdowns by now, not tied 7-7.

well if Young can't go again next week then I actually feel pretty good about our chances after watching that game

seriously though how is this your play call for the final play of the game

Alabama always wins at the end, it seems.

Tennessee better flatten them so they can't use their clutch magic.

well this is certainly our best chance to beat them in a long time

this is only the third time Tennessee has been ranked entering the Alabama game since Saban took over, and one of those times was his first season (we lost by 24 and 39 the other two times, for the record, so it's not like it helped!)

we've only lost by one possession to a Saban Alabama team twice so generally speaking we've lost hard the last 15 years

this is the first time both teams are unbeaten entering the game since 1989 so this year is a pretty big deal

And this week's Maniac Pathetic Offense Battle goes to the Denver Broncos.

Broncos 9 - Hawkeyes 6.

At least the Cubs put up 15 to end their season...

Well, Alabama opened as a 9.5 point favorite at Tennessee, so they're giving us a decent bit of respect there, all things considered. Don't know if that number is them thinking Young is going to play or not though.

And GameDay is coming back to Knoxville next week

We've got three unbeaten vs. unbeaten games tomorrow with Penn State/Michigan, TCU/Oklahoma State, and Tennessee/Alabama.

Good slate tbh

Michigan's first real test to find out if we actually are a top 5 team or if it's all smoke and mirrors

it's possible you're both frauds and we're just going to find out who's more fraudulent

I'm going, I feel pretty confident. James Franklin typically gets punked any time he comes here.

It's looking more and more like Bryce Young is going to be able to play tomorrow, but his shoulder won't be at 100%, so we'll see how that goes.

This is the biggest game for Tennessee since...probably the last time we were in the SEC Championship, which was 2008.

Also in a big game, (I believe I saw this) Its the first time in 113 meetings that Kansas is ranked and OU is not

Saturday's game will mark the first between Oklahoma and Kansas since 2009 in which the Jayhawks are ranked in the AP poll. In that meeting, No. 25 OU beat No. 24 KU 35-13 in Lawrence. This weekend's contest will also mark the first time since 1992 that OU and KU face each other when the Jayhawks are ranked the AP poll and the Sooners are not. Kansas won that matchup 27-10 in Lawrence.

It's so wild seeing Tennessee get the majority of picks to beat Bama on GameDay

Sooners off to a good start

Maybe the stat was when the game is in Norman.

both teams made a stop

I feel bad for Kansas, playing the best they have had in over a decade and playing the worst OU team in 20 years, and we decided to show up today.

16-14 Michigan at halftime

had 3 drives stopped in the red zone and had to settle for field goals

also a deflected pass that was immediately returned for a Penn State TD

Strong dunk by Michigan just now

I think we're finding out from this game if any part of Michigan is top 5 worthy it's the run game

Ole Miss is letting Auburn hang around

And now Iowa State has taken the lead against Texas early in the 4th quarter

Michigan just putting style points on now

Minnesota: totally ranked. Believe in us this year.
Me: lol, no. I'm not that dumb.
*two losses later*
Yep. Knew it.

Aw yeah off to a fast start

EZ

Aw yeah another touchdown

Bama playing really sloppy right now

Been a long time since we had a 2 TD lead on Bama!

Everything is going our way so far

this is the kinda topic i like to see

Heck yeah Hiatt

I knew this wasn't going to be easy but I'm glad we responded

That DPI is garbage

The Alabama player initiated the contact

Hopefully that missed XP on our last TD doesn't come back to haunt us now

Bad time for Hooker to throw his first INT of the season

The Tennessee endzone markings bother me so much. I keep thinking the checkerboard marking is the line

Yeah I have never understood why we don't checker the entire endzone

sure is gonna be tough for OU to adjust to this SEC style

Must be nice to be the only college player to spike the ball and not get called for a penalty

My friend is apoplectic because they didn't flag that Bama TD for him spiking the ball.

welp

This game is going to give me a stroke

These refs are calling dpi on anything and they've bailed out both teams.
