'Bama just got away with blatant pass interference at its goal line. 10-7 Bama at half

That was ridiculous for the Purdue player to be rejected. He literally bumped the body.

Edit-fumbled out of the end zone. If they do not overturn this. And shut the fuck up Mike P-whatever

Doubleedit-he fumbled out of the end zone!!! Replay across all sports is just pointless.

So Alabama RB's, they seem to get horse after horse after horse. Is this just recruiting, or a system, a la the Broncos of the last 20 years.

And that special teams unit is just nasty, similar to Daboll's swimmers.

Howard just beat UNLV as a +45 underdog. Twitter is saying it's the biggest point-spread upset in CFB history

Also, Cam Newton's littler brother is Howard's QB.

Edit: and Mike London is their coach. Good for him

Both. This changed some in the Kiffin years, but it's been a conservative, run-first offense the whole Saban era. Combine that with the fact that every starter has been a minimum four-star guy (Ingram and Lacy were four-star guys, Richardson, Henry, Yeldon. and Harris were five stars) and you've had four and five star guys like Drake and Scarbrough as their backups. LSU has had similar or even better talent, though, so it's not just getting the best guy every year. The O-line has a lot to do with it as well.

Wow, watching the TAMU v UCLA game and the stands seems half (or maybe a bit more) full. WTF?
They play in a 100,000+ seat stadium far away from campus that's hard to get to by transit and by car and classes are still weeks away from starting. Even 60,000 fans can look sparse in there.

canderson I always think of you when a Big XII team gets its ass kicked. Do you have a snotty nickname for Baylor like aggy or froggy? Something to do with holier than thou Bsptists who think that rape is ok if you win football games?

I think he uses Rapey for Baylor for obvious reasons. And wow what a complete disaster for A&M and what a comeback for Rosen and UCLA.

The best part about that fake spike is that I'm pretty sure they ruled the prior play OOB so there was no reason to spike it at all.

A&M will not win many games in that conference if they go 9/30 passing the ball for 89 yards. They ran the ball well, but UCLA's defense isn't exactly Alabama or LSU or even Auburn. A&M will not go to a bowl game this year.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Suck it Aggie (sorry was on delay)

Missed the first 2/3 of the 3rd (Aggie 6 points and the UCLA TD that made it 44-17, well not missed but FF'ed through it). Then thought maybe I should watch until it's actually over. OMG, never seen anything like it.

Don't bother coming into work this week, Kevin.
Not a great week for football in the State of Texas.
