Week 13 College Football Gamethread

[Infield Infidel]

There is a ranked team playing right now. 
 
#12 Kansas St leads 17 to 3 at West Virginia at the half
 
UNC beating fumble-prone Duke 28-7
 
 
 

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Not the reason WVU is down, but the refs are having a bad night. That call on White was horrible

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Duke less than a week ago was possibly bound for the Orange Bowl, now could be dropping down to Music City. Yikes.

 

[gtg807y]

And as bad as it's been for Duke, could be even worse as UNC has had a couple of bad turnovers.

HFS, It's in Cambridge/Upper allston isn't it?
 
I may go.

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

I'll be heading to Stade Facist for the 150th game of The Most Played Rivalry in College Football.

Lafayette played Lehigh twice a year a bunch of times in the early 1900s, so while it's not the longest rivalry, it's the most played.

Wife and I are Lafayette alums, have a bunch of old friends flying in from all parts to join us in freezing our asses off at the game.

Lehigh sucks! Actually, they both suck this year, so it should be an entertaining game.

Go 'pards!

 

[canderson]

Decent chance the Baylor game gets moved to Sunday. Football in a Texas tomorrow late afternoon will be a tough go with horrible weather hitting. Tons of lightning probable along with hail.

 

[soxfan121]

Happy Saturday everyone.

[Mugsy's Jock]

Anyone going to Gameday tomorrow?

headed there now...
Yale sucks (it's cliche, but I just can't help myself)

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Is there a direct flight from Logan to Knoxville, or are Fowler and Herbie going in a charter?

 

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

Boola, Boola,
bow wow wow
Eli, Eli
Yale

 

[Infield Infidel]

I'm so jealous of you fuckers going to gameday. I don't even know if it's fun but I want to go at least once.

They typically take a charter. I've seen pictures on Herbstreit's twitter feed before where he gets on a LearJet after Gameday and does some work on the flight before touching down at the site of the night game.

Sign on Gameday from Cambridge:  "We want Bama" 
 
How 'bout those Engineers?  Undefeated MIT was featured on last night's NBC News.

Thanks for that. Good to know he and I share the same lifehack!

 

[sachmoney]

Just drove through Harvard Square. Don't cross when your turn is ending and we're getting a green light, Harvard people. You're just making me hate you.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Someone please tell NBC and ESPN that Harvard Stadium/athletic complex is NOT in Cambridge.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

We've already had a shanked punt, a dropped 30 yard pass that could should have been a YAC'ed TD, and a QB fumble in The Game.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

miscommunication by Harvard on a 4th and 6 failed pass attempt from the Eli 29.

 

[riboflav]

Add a blocked punt and missed scoop for an easy TD

 

[riboflav]

Tragic fumble at the 10 by Harvard. In danger of being upset at home.

 

[riboflav]

Ok. Now starting to feel bad for my wife and am pulling for Harvard.

 

[riboflav]

How did they not block that? A lot of luck going Yale's way today.
 
EDIT: Great job by the Yale punter to pull the punt back and then kick it.

 

[canderson]

Penn State trying hard to save the Illinois coaches' jobs. Miffed the second half kickoff in a 7-7 game to gve Illinois the ball at the PSU 30. Now lead 10-7.

Illinois has about the worst defense in the country. PSU can't do anything against it, lol.

 

[riboflav]

Not watching but it appears Ohio St. is in trouble versus Indiana.

 

[riboflav]

Harvard fumble but ruled down. No replay in Ivy League. Big break for the Crimson.

 

[riboflav]

Harvard finally scores a TD and the kicker with glasses (not sports goggles, but actual glasses) adds the extra point.

 

[runnels3]

Keep those updates coming! I'm overseas and this is my only access to The Game in ALLSTON.

 

[soxhop411]

 

[riboflav]

 
If that don't say Ivy League football I don't know what does.

 

[riboflav]

After underthrowing the bomb all day, Harvard completes a 45-yd pass to the Yale 15. Great burst by Fischer.

 

[riboflav]

Yale blocks 24-yd FG attempt. Glasses fail.

Got this, thanks. You guys are much more fun though.

 

[riboflav]

Reverse bomb thrown to Fischer for the TD!!

 

[bankshot1]

TD!

 

[riboflav]

Smith II with his second TD pass of the season.

 

[riboflav]

Yale coming right back. Already into Harvard territory. 

 

[riboflav]

Looked like DPI on Harvard. No flag.

 

[riboflav]

Yale still on the march. To Harvard's 16.

 

[riboflav]

Great play by Ahem in the end zone.

 

[riboflav]

90-yd interception return for the TD. Harvard up big.

 

[riboflav]

Connor Sheehan with the pick-6. Ripped it out of the Yale receiver's hands.

 

[bankshot1]

wow
 
I saw the score updated on ESPN link and thought it was a mistake

 

[runnels3]

Whoa! I remember a similar pick 6 for 100 yards 10 years ago. 

 

[riboflav]

It's his third pick-6 this year.
