Because we need a little something to distract us from all the James Franklin rumors...

Watching the Troy-ODU game... With Franklin in attendance coached by two former Franklin guys

I do art stuff.

I only tuned in at the end of the 1st, and have been casually watching... Still haven't seen Franklin

They haven't shown him on TV. David Teel spoke with him and there was a Twitter video of him walking around earlier (though it's been taken down)

Edit: they mentioned him on the broadcast now

I do art stuff.

Was Pry in tow like the βš“οΈ he is?

Thank goodness its basketball season...


Looking forward to Klempson losing again tomorrow night though. Feels dirty to cheer for Loserville though. Probably will come down to...

ODU is spending more time in Troy's backfield than the Troy running backs so far

I do art stuff.

They posted a picture of JF on the ODU sideline and someone commenting JF for our new AD?

When I first read this, I was thinking JF = Justin Fuente. Ugh.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

I can't unsee the JF as Fuente as well

ACC reviewing a play at goal line on whether Louisville scored but ZERO flag for an egregious horse collar. Replay looked like it should have been a fumble off the pylon which would have been a turnover and touchback. Louisville gets the TD two plays later but Cards dink the XP off the upright.

FYI - Google and Disney signed a deal, ESPN is back on YTTV

Except it doesn't include the new ESPN Unlimited deal I was forced to sign up for in the meanwhile so I can't access ESPN live content on my phone app.

Clemson with Goalline incompetence.

Repeat goal line incompetence

I do art stuff.

Yeah..zero clue what that 4th Down play was supposed to be.

Andre Ware has zero analytical credibility.

Everytime he talks I feel like my IQ is being insulted.

OMG....they may be "Klempson" again...

Klempson muffs a punt to give Louisville the ball on the 20

230 to go Klempson up 20-19

Watching this Clemson/Louisville game...all I can think of is that scene from Naked Gun 33 1/3…

That's all you need to know for this game.

Both teams want to lose so badly

I do art stuff.

Louisville has shot themselves in foot twice now

Klempson should have been flagged for taunting though

This game....

This game is the absolute portrait of why ACC Football has become a punchline.

And why college football is amazing

Comedy hour....

If this were the SEC they would just be talking about how deep the conference is. And everyone would be ranked in the top 25.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

Andre Ware: he just needs a 4th down conversion there, instead he tries to force it downfield into coverage

There are 8 Secs left on the clock and he needs 35-40 yards to even have a chance for a FG, numbnuts. Zero timeouts. He can't throw a 6 yard dump pass.

Please just shut the fuck up.

Yeah, and literally right before that play happened one of the two of the commentators said something about how it can't be a chunk play because of how little time they had left for how far they needed to go down the field with no timeouts.

I can't stand Andre Ware if for no other reason than they gave him the Heisman over Major Harris. And he's an idiot.

Major Harris was the original Mike Vick

What about Macho?

Macho Harris was no Mike Vick jo matter how much I like him

I can't stand him cuz every time he is announced by the PBP guy it's "Heisman winner Andre Ware." Like, is that supposed to mean something? No one knows who the fuck you are dude

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

Has anyone heard why the ACC, as far as I know, is the only conference that does the live listen-in on the official reviews? Watching Minnesota @ Oregon and was surprisingly disappointed I couldn't hear what they were saying during the review of a TD catch.

It was new this year and only on Thur/Fri broadcasts. Think its two birds one stone. Reduce some of last years criticism and allows ESPN to experiment with us like MLB does with MiLB and NFL does with UFL.

27-3 just before half. Shane's seat might be cooling.

For today. This is more about aTm having a horrific day than it is about USC having a good one.

All time collapse ongoing in the SCar-ATM game right now

Gamecocks led by 27 at half. Currently a 1 score game

I do art stuff.

When I saw that big lead they had I went "pfft, they won't hold it."

Kinda hate that I'm right.

A&M's lines now dominating. Give Reed unlimited time and wide open receivers and he's apparently pretty good.

A&M just had tying TD called back for holding

Came right back and scored it two plays later. XP will give them the lead

What a monumental collapse

XP good. 31-30 A&M

Shane has a Fuller and a Facyson on the roster should be automatic wins.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

Join us in the Key Players Club

Sooo, where is Shane going to be ST coordinator next year?

I do art stuff.

Shane, you're up by 27 on the #3 team at halftime, what's your plan for the 2nd half?

anyone know the current prop bets on Beamer being fired in the next 24 hours? I think its gonna be trending.

Which is actually to bad. He has been one of their best coaches.

Is this the biggest lead blown by an SEC team since Arkansas in the Belk Bowl?

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

It's an even bigger lead.

And yes, Arkansas blew a 24 point lead in the Belk Bowl. They also apparently lost out in the Franklin sweepstakes.

Blew a 24 point lead to a coaching staff that ran an offense where they don't let the QB read (maybe they let Jarrod Evans read, but nothing short of a fire from heaven level miracle made that happen).

Read? Hell, they barely let him throw

Evans crawled so that Haynes King could run

2004, but i'm not sure which game. SEC teams were 0-286 going back to 2004 when chasing a 27-pt lead.

A&M ran a really bonehead play inside the 10 but may get bailed out on review on the fumble. Looks like SCar defender touched sideline before having control

Northwestern with a big stop to get the ball back up 1 on Michigan

I do art stuff.

Lmao. Mike Elko just now going to be a meme/gif. Didn't take a lip reader to see what he was saying to himself.

SMH... SC with an absolutely historic collapse... i'm not sure WTF Sellers was thinking that entire last drive.

A&M can kneel it out now. Deuces Beamerball

Beamer probably doesn't have a job at the end of the year. He may not have one on Monday.

I think the absolute insanity of the carousel this year might be the only thing that saves him.

If you are USCe you're now a distant 4th on the Totem Pole of SEC teams looking for a HC and everyone else has a head start.

Not to mention if Kiffin and Drinkwitz get poached...you're now even deeper down the well.

I mean, I don't discount any level of undeserved arrogance in modern CFB but it would be really really difficult for them to find a top hire IMHO.

I see it as similar to our Pry search where we clearly settled for our (at best) 3rd option (that no other major programs had interestin as HC)...that turned out quite poorly

Northwestern can't manage to hold on and Michigan puts through a last second FG to avoid the upset

I do art stuff.

Duke might decimate lolUVAs roster at this rate.

LOLUVA had chance to force Duke to take timeout or get a delay of game but botched it and got called for 12 men to extend a drive that would have been 4th down

Why does everyone play like total ass when they play UVA this year? Lol

Officials helped them out with that "Forced out of bounds" decision to uphold that 40+ yard play

They've been so incredibly lucky this year. Soft schedule, bailed out by lucky plays/refs, everyone else just losing around them. It's destiny for them to win it all this year it feels.

Sc clock management at end of 2nd quarter was mind numbing. 24 seconds and 3 timeouts with first and hoal from the 9 and somehow only run 2 plays and kick fg on 3rd down

Danny is always open

Chestnut Hill doesn't sound too sleepy today. There was a nice "refs, you suck" after BOB's unsportsmanlike following a no call on Haynes King throwing past the line of scrimmage.

Edit: The replay showed King just barely kept the ball behind the line.

I don't think Duke is winning the ACC.

GT might not either.

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

Duke looks completely lost

That GT Jet Sweep was legit... blocking and speed... TD!

Woof. Bc answers right back

Idk if anyone is watching the gt bc game but the color play-by-play commentator is awful.

Onward and upward

I stopped watching other games with sound on years ago because I hate all commentators

That dude is Steve Addazio.

You know, I think I meant the play by play guy. I always get that mixed up. Steve was fine but the other guy was a complete moron

Onward and upward

Ah that's Wes Durham, I wasn't listening to audio for that game so I don't know how bad he was today.

Bama goes down to the Sooners. Is it just me or do both of their coaches have big "roid rage"-energy?

I do art stuff.

Like an Texas state trooper working the sidelines at an aTm game

Five SEC teams in the top 10, just what we all needed.
