GJGE on the thread title.

GJGE on the thread title.

GJGE was the funniest thing that ever happened when I was watching live but I feel very triggered every time I see it now because I remember the trauma I suffered watching the next game(s)

 

[canderson]

GJGE on the thread title.

Details, details

App State 13
Tennessee 3

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

You know I love you.

Vols look like dog shit.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Teams might want to stop scheduling Appalachian State

 

[cshea]

13-13, 30 seconds left. App St ball around the Tennessee 30. App St kick has missed a PAT and a 42 yarder tho...

Brutal sequence and clock management and we head to OT.

 

[canderson]

Way to run off 22 seconds to end he 4th, App State. Awesome clock management.

 

[Jnai]

what the fuck was that clock management?

 

[Infield Infidel]

That TO on the board is really gonna help them with zeroes on the clock

 

[Ale Xander]

Dumbass it was 3rd down not 4th

Lucky break

 

[canderson]

App State absolutely gave away that game.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Whoo. What a dumbass way to end that game by Appalachian State. Tennessee showed a lot of rust, but they'll be good if that quarterback can get his shit together.

 

[shawnrbu]

College doesn't have a Holy Roller rule?

 

[Freddy Linn]

South Carolina kicker just made a 55 yarder on the road to put his team up three with thirty seconds left. Downwind, would have been good from 60.

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Hard to ever describe anyone as "upsetting" Minnesota, but Oregon State was a 12.5-point dog and just parlayed a safety and a dropped punt into a 23-17 lead.

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Witnessed UConn squeaking by Maine 24-21 at home last night. Play calling lameness continues. The QB from last year is back, and it looks like he got worse.

Big 12 - here we come!!!!!

I don't mean to be overly critical, but this effort at games/TV listings is not consistent with the standards we've come to expect of these threads. If you're gonna do it, do it right, bruv.

Witnessed UConn squeaking by Maine 24-21 at home last night. Play calling lameness continues. The QB from last year is back, and it looks like he got worse.

Big 12 - here we come!!!!!

That BC-UConn game at the end of the season...yikes.

 

[Hambone]

ASU vs NAU is actually 11pm kickoff because God doesn't want me to be at all sober for it. I know you all care. Also

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

I have a date with my TV tomorrow. I may never see my wife again.

 

[canderson]

I don't mean to be overly critical, but this effort at games/TV listings is not consistent with the standards we've come to expect of these threads. If you're gonna do it, do it right, bruv.

thanks! I was on my iPad and tried but it was way too tedious ...

 

[WayBackVazquez]

If you want to cut and paste into your opening post, I'll delete mine.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

MIT with 10 unanswered to force OT with WPI with 10 seconds left. OT ensuing.
Boise State doesn't play until tomorrow morning.

 

[canderson]

Christian McCaffrey is something else.

 

[Gunfighter 09]

Christian McCaffrey is something else.

He is very gritty, tough and smart. Lots of heart.

actually Clatt and Gus are being pretty reasonable with their comparisons, going with Faulk, Tomlinson etc. I love watching the kid, but I just wish they would either wrap him in bubble wrap or give him a check now.

 

[canderson]

Stanford just tackled a KSU WR in the end zone, no call. Wow.

 

[WayBackVazquez]

Either KSU's defense is much better than most expected, or Stanford's offensive line is going to have to improve get through the PAC schedule.

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Bowling Green runs a pick back 65 yards for a 7-0 lead at the Horseshoe.

 

[Senator Donut]

Bowling Green runs a pick back 65 yards for a 7-0 lead at the Horseshoe.

That was fun while it lasted 21-7 Buckeyes now

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Yeah no evidence of being able to stop those guys.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Cougar High scoring FGs when they need TDs.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Shootout in Houston. Damn.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Boise rolling ULL in Lafayette. Next week's Washington State matchup looms large.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

UH with Ward can play OU tough and score some. Without Ward for most of a game? They lost to UConn. Theya re perfect B12 team, though....95% of their most talented players play on one side of the ball

 

[swiftaw]

UH-OU is pretty entertaining, UH up 19-17 at half time.

 

[Senator Donut]

Nice touch by ABC to have the WMU helmet on the set of the halftime show for John Saunders.

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Fantastic returned missed FG by the Cougars. Wow.

 

[swiftaw]

Fantastic returned missed FG by the Cougars. Wow.

Just like Auburn against Alabama

 

[shawnrbu]

Maybe teams should start having a skill player (WR, TE, CB or S) as a holder so at least you have a guy capable of making a tackle when that play happens?

 

[Senator Donut]

It was coaching malpractice for Stoops not to be aware Houston had its return team on the field. The players were far too slow getting down the field; I think they just had no idea, because you rarely see that play with more than 30 seconds left in a half.

 

[Senator Donut]

Houston is going to be 10-0 when they play Louisville on November 17.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Holy shit I step out to run to the grocery and now Cougar High is handing the gooners their ass!

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Small game Stoops hasn't lost his touch!

This game probably cost UH whatever chance they had at B12. Lol

 

[Rick Burlesons Yam Bag]

I actually like Bob Stoops. He's a Youngstown guy and the word on the street is that he is actually pretty nice. Seeing Baker Mayfield and his douchehole father (if you have never read the background, do so. These guys are shitty humans) suffer is much fun though.

 

[Infield Infidel]

That was an abysmal decision by Mayfield

 

[Ale Xander]

I used to dislike Stoops but then he was Katie Nolans show and I liked him there

Still hate the Sooners due to among other things Switzer and Boz

Stupid Houston

Just run normally

 

[Infield Infidel]

Houston is going to be 10-0 when they play Louisville on November 17.

Speaking of teams the Big 12 should have invited.

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice touch by ABC to have the WMU helmet on the set of the halftime show for John Saunders.

Northwestern is the BC of the Midwest in so many ways

 

[RedOctober3829]

If Big 12 doesn't add Houston after this, they either never wanted to expand or are huge hypocrites.
