Man, sad. When you're a G5 team you have one game, one chance... Bummer. MWC champs will go to the Jimmy Kimmel bowl.

This game started at 6? That’s horrible for a Friday. In any case, I stand by that it’s stupid to use last year’s rankings for the next year. (Unless those teams are Bama, Clemson, or tOSU) And I feel a little better for missing most of it with how bad the Heels are playing on O

Gametime temp for Texas-UL Lafayette is a mere 101 with a 78 dew point. Will be like 135 on the field and in the stands. I don’t miss those games.

UNC football has been disappointing everybody since whenever the program started and still will be whenever they stop playing.

Yup. They were good in 80 (sorry canderson and Kremlin) and 81 (thanks, LT) but your point stands

Yay!

Suck it heels
My wife and I both graduated from small liberal arts schools and I never "got" college football. Until last night when the entire family, less the oldest kid who was at Lane screaming his head off and jumping with 65,000 other hokie fans, went nuts over that game. That was a lot of fun and I now get why friends of our make pilgrimages back to their alma maters for football every year.

Walking through that tunnel on a game day was such an amazing experience. And that was before any of this "good" at football stuff and the Enter Sandman entrance. Thought about you all and wondered if he was there last night. Hope he had an absolute blast.

Of course he was there! He got season tickets and is totally into it. We got plenty of updates from Lane on snapchat along with videos and pics during the game. It's been an adjustment being on a campus where his freshman class is bigger than our town, but he's been absolutely loving Tech. I saw the campus for the first time when we dropped him off a couple weeks ago, it's a really awesome place. I can easily appreciate your fondness for it and am frankly jealous of your and his college experience already!

By extension, are you suggesting that in a year that the Red Sox suck you aren't allowed to root against the Yankees?
Not at all but I don't think I'd be on here crowing if the Sox lost to Toronto on the road on the same night the Yankees lost at home to the Orioles (or vice versa).

I’d call Penn State-Wisconsin a rock fight, but that’d be an insult to rock fights.

PSU has 43 total yards and one first down at halftime.

Man, I hate that targeting call. He lowered his shoulder and when you lower your shoulder, your head drops.

Brutal call.

edit - note, I'm rooting for Wisconsin in this game. But I don't like that call.

I think it’s targeting but I hate he’s ejected. There was zero intent. It’s a rule that needs changed.

Yeah, the rule is broken if that causes a guy to get ejected. He tried to lead with the shoulder but you can't avoid the fact that your head will be in the way.
