Week 12 other games thread

Louisville and Houston tonight. Should be a good one and as I typed this Houston has already scored.

If you want an example of why I hate Clemson fans, my twitter timeline already has several tweets about how Louisville should be disqualified from the CFP because they are down 7 to Houston after a fumble. The same fans of the team that lost to a 5-4 team at home 5 days ago.

Edit: Following David Hale is another great way to see Clemson fans show their ass if you're lucky enough to not have them all over your TL by proximity.

I want Louisville to make it to the playoff, largely because of my hated of Clemson fans.

uva sucks

I want Louisville to make the Playoff because my fiance is a UL alum and their games are something she doesn't mind throwing money at. #GoACC?

Edit: yeah...not gonna happen.

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

Louisville needs a boxing glove on a stick ASAP!

We are the Hokies. We will prevail. We will prevail. We will prevail. We are Virginia Tech.

Damn good nose tackle play crushing the QB.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Louisville has the shittiest uniforms. HS quality.

Better than last year's. Looked like a myrtle beach strip (sorry, Fireman) airbrushed license plate.

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

In mildly related news, my trash talk on Reddit got retweeted by the RedditCFB account and it has since been quote tweeted by the actual NBC broadcaster that I was talking about hahahahaha

Can't embed because I'm on my phone but link. Anonymously twitter famous

Hahaha this is priceless

uva sucks

Take it easy on my man Dan Hicks....he went to Arizona....it's been a long year of football here in the old Pueblo...he's suffered enough.

Can we just give Jabrill Peppers the Heisman and be done with it? Jackson has been scraping by for weeks.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

So this isn't good for the acc

Everybody said Louisville needed a blowout

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." - K

Well, they got it

They got it indeed

Wow didn't expect this, although Louisville has not been able to catch a break at all. Two fumbles and lots of penalties and a deflected touchdown pass.

The crawl says Johnny Manziel is a "free agent." On a related note, I am also a free agent.

Hope that he stays one. IIRC, I made a bet with an A&M-alum coworker that he wouldn't be on an NFL roster this year, and gave him 10:1 odds.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

What odds did you get on him being on a jail roster? Even money at best, I hope.

And you likely stand just as good odds of being picked up by an NFL team.

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

Trying to switch between this one and Panthers/Saints

uva sucks

I asked the bar to switch it from C-SPAN to the game, then it got switched to a damn kung fu movie (no lie. this is a shitty-ass bar...like, movie worthy shitty) and then put then lville game on Carolina...so, Panthers are looking stingy on D, getting by on O.

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

Looking forward to the second half though to see if they can actually finish a game out. I stick out like a sore thumb in Charlotte though because I hate the Panthers.

uva sucks

Jesus Christ

WOW. Perfect storm is blowing up Louisville. Don't even see this #1 offense being able to close this gap. Hope I'm wrong, would be an epic comeback.

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." - K

GUYS GUYS GUYS

Don't fret, Louisville is currently winning ToP, 13:50 to 13:36. They're doing just fine.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

So Louisville couldn't get their hands on the Houston game plan?

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." - K

So this is how Louisville plays when they don't know their opponent's gameplan

Just amazing how Houston is wiping the floor with these guys. Guess this clarifies any worry about the playoff.

How much will this cost each ACC program?

About $1.8 to $2.4 million alone in bowl revenue per school. Other costs are much harder to delineate like trickle down TV slotting etc.

Well the ACC is sweating bullets because if Clemson doesn't win out, the conference doesn't have a playoff team....and since we're about to begin another 3 game winning streak following a loss it looks like their screwed.

I like your attitude.

Also the Clemson SOR is about to take a bath with Louisville's loss and Troy is getting blown out too.

Not necessarily... if the P12 and Big XII champions each have 3 losses (WSU beats Washington next week, loser of Colorado-WSU this week gets revenge in P12CG, Oklahoma and WVU each lose again), Clemson could easily sneak in with the #4 spot. There's other ways (such as either Ohio State or Michigan losing their last two) but I think they're less likely.


h-town hold it down.

Every second counts

Can we turn this into our version of Wazzu shipping their flag around the country for gameday? I mean, it's a little late for this season, but they have powerhouse William & Mary on tap for the opener next year.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Tonight is the first time I've gotten to watch Memphis this season. They're doing well against Cinci on CBSSN right now. They still run the same offense.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

I'm not surprised. Fuente had that team on an upward trajectory with his system, so it makes sense that you would go out and try to find a replacement that'll run a similar system so you don't lose all your momentum.

In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Sparty scores on the second play of the game. It could be Chaos Weekend 2: Electric Boogaloo.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Sadly, OSU has now answered. But, still a game.

In other news, Purdue got on the board first against Wisconsin with a field goal. Considering how scarce points are on that defense, that is pretty huge.

ESPN has an interesting graphic, apparently according to their FPI Penn State is the favorite to win their division, and Wisconsin is widely expected to win theirs:

Purdue is trying their best to change that, just forced a Wisconsin punt. Wisconsin's line isn't doing well in pass protection.

Holy cow, they followed the punt up with a 50-yard pass at the end of the quarter. Possible upset brewing in West Lafayette?

ACC Network color commentator just said Matt Johns is looking good after putting the ball 5 yards out of the endzone.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Well, yeah, he didn't throw a pick. Let him have this.

I know people around here are feeling a little shaky about the UVA game because our recent offensive struggles, but they are not good at all.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

TJ Watt just got a pick-six, Wisconsin is now up 14-3 and this game is about over.

I'm a Florida fan today because if they win, it keeps UT out of the SEC championship... Did anyone else see that fight pre-game? I didn't catch all of it, but the announcers were talking about Florida's defensive back coach being involved (Torrian Gray).

Heard that Fournette was not suited up (injured), shoved TGray, and then asked to be allowed to play in the game. But I'm also seeing varying accounts of who did what.

"Exit light..."

In other news, apparently the starting QBs for both teams transferred from Purdue.

Or maybe that's not news to you, but it was to me.

Georgia Tech just ran the ol' run-punt option.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

I know that this has already been said, but how in the hell did we lose to GT? Even with 4 turnovers, unless they all turned into TD's we should have blown them out. Even if they did turn into TD's, we still should have won by 7.

30 years after starting grad school at Virginia Tech, I finally defended my dissertation and earned my PhD.
Don't give up on your dreams.

Of course Georgia Tech comes out flat against UVA the week after they play their best game of the season against us. Maybe Georgia Tech should put that backup qb in

CPJ doing his best to gift the game to UVA.

Edit: UVA can't do anything with 1st and 10 at the GT 29. If our game against UVA comes down to a field goal I'll be feeling pretty confident.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Go Sparty!

I hope the LOLUVA game doesn't run long. We'really on locally right after.

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

ACCN is on NBC where you are?

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Here too (though they showed Miami-NC State).

Coincidentally, THIS game is gonna run long...

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

There's no way that Ohio State can remain #2 after only beating a horrible Michigan State by 1.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

Doesn't really matter, if they don't beat Mich.

30 years after starting grad school at Virginia Tech, I finally defended my dissertation and earned my PhD.
Don't give up on your dreams.

Michigan didn't move a spot after losing to a shitty Iowa team I doubt it.

So since Benkert was benched for turnovers, and Johns just threw a pick six, does that mean we get to whip their 3rd stringer next week?

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Major upset pick of the week is running simultaneously to our game. 10-0 Citadel @ UNC moving the ball well early.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

I pitty whoever draws Pitt in a bowl game. They're all the way up right now.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

0-10 Austin Peay's QB is 3-9 with 2 INTs, and they're leading Kentucky 13-7 closing in on halftime.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Texas just lost to 1-9 Kansas. Charlie should go ahead and put his house on the market.

uva sucks

A booster would buy it just to guarantee he has to move.

Texas just lost to Kansas

...That's what Maryland does.

I don't give a damn what the fans think cause, quite frankly, I know what the fans want better than they do.

Ahh drink because of that 4 second difference.

uva sucks

Legs for both of you, I was really late to the punch on that.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

I'm pulling for Clemson tonight; please don't shoot me, I have two reasons.

  1. I'm planning on going to Orlando with about seven Clemson fans. I'd like to still go to the ACCCG because I'm confident they won't go to watch Louisville.
  2. I don't want to play Lamar Jackson.
  3. F-U-C-K-U-V-A

So Clemson just attempted an onside kick up 14 on Wake in the 1st quarter.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

This Oklahoma @ WV game is going to be wild with this snow.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

West Virginia is melting down. They might lose by 60 and it's glorious

WVU with two dead-ball personal fouls on one play, including a player who poked an official in the chest. 30 yards on one play. Guy that hit the official should have been tossed.

"Exit light..."

Poor Charlie Strong. Heartbreaking post game presser.

I haven't watched it, but I guarantee you no post-game presser will ever be more depressing than Clifford's post game Q&A after BC got eliminated from the ACC tournament last season.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

I hope NC state gets their crap together for next week.

I'm exhausted. Need to get up at 5:20. The rest of these games suck. I'm going to bed.
