Psyched for today. Between the football, and Tiger being back, it's about as good a day to sit on the couch as I can remember. The one handed cornerback, Griffin, for UCF just recovered a fumble by ripping the ball out of a Memphis players hands. Kid is an amazing story. Twin brother is in the NFL.

Today’ tv lineup came at a good time for me because I am stapled to the couch with backs spasms.

What O/U line would you have to have seen to be comfortable betting the under in the UCF-Memphis game?

Edit- that red zone INT slows the scoring down for a minute.

TCU has now realized the game started. 17-14, playing some D right now, too, although Oklahoma missed a FG pretty horrendously.

Judging by his sweat, Gary hasn't allowed this many points in the first 31 minutes of a game since the Ice Ages

Who wouldn't love to see the UCF offense go up against the Clemson defense? But nope.

How are they always able to find people who have never thrown a football in their life for these half time contests

That's the way you win this thing, they're so close that just shoveling it forward is way better than actually throwing properly because you get way more balls off.

True, the girl who won the Big 12 halftime show was a machine with some ugly 2 handed underhand shovel, and she just made everything

Could still do a Philip Rivers-esque side arm and dont pull it back all the way. Will be faster than bringing to midline for 2 hands
 
It was pretty early in the game when you threw in the towel. What would you do if Georgia was down 28-3?

Wow, I am sorry I did that. I AM SORRY!
:)

(I'm *much* more of a Falcons fan than a UGA fan - I actually grew up favoring Georgia Tech over UGA, but both of my brothers spent at least one year at UGA, and my middle brother is a true SEC head and Dawg nut, so I generally want them to win these days.)

Is the best avenue for Alabama to get in this: Clemson, Oklahoma, and Auburn all win and Wisconsin loses. That puts 1-loss Alabama against 1-loss Wisconsin and 2 loss Ohio State, Georgia, and Miami. Wouldn't the committee rather have Alabama over any of those teams? Especially if they can get a Clemson-Alabama Part 3? Clemson-Alabama in New Orleans would be a perfect matchup in terms of ticket sales, TV ratings, and fan bases.

If Wisconsin loses it would be at the hands of Ohio State. If Ohio State wins big, that might be enough to convince the committee versus an Alabama team that did not impress a week ago.
