Iowa @ Wisconsin should be a pretty good game. Iowa has an extremely favorable schedule - no MSU or OSU (or even Michigan). Only ranked teams on their schedule are @ Wisconsin and @ Northwestern. They could/should win 10 games even if they lose both, but may be a contender for a spot in the B1G title game.

aggy beats Mississippi State by 9 and froggy beats Texas by at least 28 (and scores in the 60s). Great fucking weekend coming up. :/

Got $500 you want to give me? That's about the only way you can get me to take that bet. Hell, I might just pocket it anyway because I have no faith that they'll prevent TCU from covering at -20, let alone -16.

Texas' secondary has zero shot at stopping TCU. None. Zero. They'll score because TCU has no defense thanks to injuries but the offense can't come close to keeping up.

If you go on the Texas boards there are multiple threads titled things like "We Are Going to Win." It's amusing and sad at the same time.

Headed down to Gameday in the morning. These are our signs. My buddy owns a sign shop, so he hooked us up.
 
Rudy was my creation. Renfrow is my sons buddy, so that one is his. 
 
Don't know much about how Gameday works, 'gates' open at 6am, but we're headed down about 7:45, so I hope we get a good spot and the signs make it on the air.

Hah. Dotson tied Pats legend Josh Boyce with 22 career TDs at TCU.

This game may be over by the end of the first quarter if Texas doesnt get at least a few first downs.

Oklahoma's uniforms look like they spent too little time in the washer, especially compared to WVU's all-whites.

I need to turn off Texas score alerts from my phone. Holy mother of god. I need to retract my three win prediction, I don't see the, beating Iowa State. Kansas will be a battle. Fuck this shit.

To steal from last week, FG kicking in college is deplorable. Missed 27 yarder by Iowa after good drive. Came up with zero

Previous drive they went for 4th and 2 from the 8. Now I understand why

Edit: Iowa's schedule is so favorable, no MSU OSU or Michigan, they may play for the B1G title if they win today

Yep, my nightmare scenario is Iowa and Northwestern vying for a playoff spot on 10/17.

Mizzou just lost a starting dlineman on a late hit / targeting call which was borderline late and not even close to targeting. It was a hard shove at most.

Penn State is only beating Army 13-7 midway through the third. Strong and Franklin can team up after next season when they're both canned.

Apparently Texas super freshman Kris Boyd tweeted at halftime in the locker room about transferring to aggy. Kill me.

Not sure what Pisces me off more: a) players tweeting and not looking at coaching adjustments, b) him retweeting this or c) the undisciplined crap that Strhg supposedly preaches is everywhere during games.

Maybe he is a colossal fraud. It does explain why Texas is the worst 3rd quarter team in the country - at halftime they just hand out and play n their goddamn phones. Nvhvfujkhghbhgjbh ugh

So how is it that coaches like Franklin and Strong have so much success at mid-tier B5 conference schools but seemingly flame out once they get the marquee gig?

Did Allie Laforce, sideline reporter for Bama-uga, say Bama was on the cutting edge of sports medicine because they had the athletes taking oxygen on the sidelines. Hasnt this been happening for years and years?

Yes and yes. But does it really matter what she says?
