These time are Central.
I was never big on reading test instructions either. Totally fucked up that test in 8th grade where the first instructions was "Don't answer any questions and sign your name at the bottom" 
 
Central time zone is just unfair man, no one thinks like that. #Sarcasm

Yeah, that link from which I'm drawing, which was provided to us by Warning Track Speed back in the week 2 thread originates from Louisiana, so you can thank them, or blame him.

In order to avoid watching the Red River ShootBlowout for the first time in my 34 years on this planet, I told my wife we can go shopping for new floors Saturday at noon.

Ouch.  canderson, you're in the Harrisburg area right? You can always slip over to Seth Grove Stadium and catch Shippensburg hosting Lock Haven this weekend.

Somehow, LSU has sold a bit less than 40,000 tickets for their road game at home today. I know it was late announcing the switch but it shocks me the stadium might be half full only,

I guess I'm not too surprised that LSU's ticket sales weren't more brisk. Fans plan their game day trips around the schedule when it comes out; they don't expect sudden changes to it. Heck, the LSU students might be on Fall Break and had other plans. Here at OU, our Fall Break comes this week so the students can go down to Dallas, hang out at the TX State Fair, and watch OU-Texas.

The anatomy of an upset in the Red River Shootout.  Early score for the underdog, turnover, misdirections on offense, pressure on defense.  Texas doing everything right thus far, 14-0.

Hawkeyes just ripped off a 75 yard TD run to go up 23-13 vs. Illinois. They look to remain undefeated and crash the B1G title game. Michigan will also have a say as they host Northwestern later.

Nick Chubb's leg just bent in a very scary way on his first run of the game vs Tennessee.  I'm not sure we'll be seeing him play anytime soon.

I avoided the game. On the DVR. Will watch tonight. Will need to call a doctor after the 4 hour mark.

Didn't watch this one ether, but Penn State destroyed Indiana. Shocking too

First congrats to the Horns fans.  They played hard today.  Penn State beat Indiana's 2nd and then 3rd string QB.  Without Sudfeld that's not a good offensive team. I'll be interested to see them in Columbus next week. That said 5-1.

IU fan here... We (IU) was once again without their starting QB and RB, and their 2nd string QB got injured halfway through the game... So IU had to use their 3rd string (Freshman) QB.... IU has too many injuries right now :(

Chubb collapsed after leaving training table on way to cart and regained consciousness once on cart. Was taken to locker room.
 
Uh... he should be in the ER.....

Tennessee trying a different strategy today. They've had a 14 point lead in all of their games this year, and are currently 2-3.  So, today, they go down by 21, and have come all the way back to tie Georgia at 24.

Tennessee appears to have decided that jumping out to big leads isn't the way forward on Rocky Top - instead, spot your opponent a big lead and then work your way back from there.
 
Their unis are so ugly they deserve to lose

After breaking off an 87 yard td run, Fournette has spent most of the 2nd half on the sidelines.  Doesn't appear to be injured, so it's kind of strange, because it's not a massive blowout or anything.  That said, the backup RB's Guice and Williams look almost as awesome as Fournette did, particularly Guice, who just had a 30 yard run that should easily qualify as one of the best runs of the entire year.  Broke about a dozen tackles, including 4-5 in the backfield.  
 
Anyway, very strange.  I think Fournette has 158 yards, and he's got a 3 game 200 yard streak going (record is 5 held by B. Sanders, M. Allen and Jamario Thomas from Oregon).

Fournette appeared to come off limping after a run soon after the big one. Didn't seem serious. I guess with the game pretty much in hand they aren't risking it.

I don't imagine Miles puts Fournette out there if he has anything more serious than a broken fingernail.

And Mike Greenberg cries. Northwestern was supposedly 5 slots better than Michigan. Even allowing for HFA, it lost 31 to 0.

Seriously. I don't think you could have placed it any better. They are going to lose the game over it too.

If you eliminated the last 30 seconds of the game, would Nebraska be undefeated right now? 
 
Seriously, how many gut punch losses can one team have?
