I was wondering when someone would make the other games thread.
I'm tuned in on penn State Michigan State. I'll check in on the Tamu game from time to time though
I thought about making one back on Tuesday because of #MACtion, but held off.
I've got Penn State @ Sparty w/ Auburn @ A&M on the computer for the early games and Clemson @ NC State w/ Bedlam on the computer for the afternoon.
Wisconsin at Indiana is one to watch too.
Wisconsin cannot defend the slant. And also interferes on every vertical route. Go Hoosiers.
Hah. This is amazing.
Bunch of spoiled fairweather chumps.
To be fair, even in the Beamer twilight years, we were never as bad as FSU is this season. If we were getting our butts whupped by a mediocre Boston College team do you think the alumni would come in force to Blacksburg?
Imagine what the crowd will look like if they actually play that ULM game on championship weekend.
Probably still much better attended than LOLUVA's spring game.
Khalan Laborn is wondering when he'll ever get on the field. Akers having a career day.
Taking a redshirt this year but how does their recruiting for next year look. It may be awhile till he get meaningful carries.
OT of Football, but #9 VT Wrestling starts right now v. #21 Stanford.
Tech with the win! Looks like it's going to be a semi-rebuilding year. Missing some pieces to be an elite team.
MSU-PSU delayed until 4 at least. Yikes
Any idea where they're gonna stick that one on TV? FS2? Fox Business?
Florida is ass, my dudes
FSU fans can take solace in knowing that even in their worst season in 40 years they're still better than Florida.
Are they though?
Guess we'll find out on rivalry week. It'll be the biggest pillow fight of the day.
I thought that was LoLuva vs UNCheat this year. My bad.
Let's wait and see them actually play, before declaring FSU is better.
UMass scaring the pants off of Miss State fans right now without Andrew Ford under center.
Didn't they almost beat Tenn too this year?
Yes, they came very close.
Texas A&M officially eliminated from SEC West contention. Florida officially eliminated from SEC East contention.
Through 2 possessions, GT's O isn't looking so good against LOLUVA. Marshall had a good run, that seemed to give a small spark, but LOLUVA's D seemed to take care of business after that flash of being OK.
If we make the ACCCG it would probably benefit us more to play Clemson again, but damn I want this one for NC State.
Saw this as well on twitter. I cannot believe the official account is taking jabs like that. Funny, but looks bad on the school.
I admire the self awareness to be honest. I don't see it as a negative at all.
They could claim a life championship instead and see how that works
This Syracuse FSU game
Does Cuse go for win or OT?
Ray-Ray McCloud is a fast man.
That was a hell of a return.
Dungey leaves it all on the field man, enjoy watching him play, when it's not against us inside the dome.
Was hoping that won that game, now FSU schedules ULM for conference championship weekend to get bowl eligible and we still have to listen to FSU twitter to the "well actually" bullshit with our bowl streak.
I know the rain is helping but loluva is defending the option very well!
But not the ball.
Just turned it over to GT inside the 20.
Edit: Boy, that's one empty stadium for the first half.
About the time I thought I'd get to lick up some Hoo tears, Georgia Tech gives up a kick-off return for a score.
GT 14, UVa 13
with 2 minutes left in the halfat half time.Don't know if anyone is keeping an eye on the Cousins' game, but Mountain Jesus can launch that sucker.
Anyone else notice how crappy the picture is on ABC for this Clem vs. NC State game? Hope its better for our game tonight.
Yes, it's very grainy.
My picture on Dish Network is perfect.
Verizon in NOVA. Its not too bad up close but the panned out shots during plays are pretty blurry by todays standards. Looks like 720 instead of 1080. First world problems, I know!
It's just fine here in Bburg. Are you sure you didn't start drinking early?
Hah, you know me too well! But no, was still sober when witnessing the crap picture on ABC.
I'm pretty sure ESPN and ABC use 720p because it's better for the quick motion of sports.
But I also think that Verizon puts too many channels on each server, or whatever it's called, which compresses the signal a bit.
The Cox feed in Florida is fine.
Ohio State-Iowa is looking to be a good game.
Edit: it wasn't.
Fantastic looking game for WVU so far.
ISU is the hottest team right now. Would do our SoS wonders of West Virginia blows them out.
NcSt is making it look easy vs Clemson.
Their kicker didn't make that 34 yd FG look too easy. Woof. You can't miss those against a good team like Clemson.
Blacksburg grad :(
Sorry to hear that. But, as a CHS grad, I'm not too sad to hear it. ;-)
Clemson's defense is broken
Man it's been so long since UVA has even been decent and I seriously can't stand Paul Johnson and his offense. How do both teams lose?
Don't look now, but GT showed up to play for the second half.
GT scores on the first play from scrimmage in the second half with a soul-crushing 78-yard run for a touchdown.
Next scrimmage play was a pick six for a second GT touchdown. The first minute of the second half hasn't been kind to UVa.
UVa fans were correct not to show up for the second half.
Wow UVA being themselves giving up a 78 yd td run and on the very next play throw a pick six to go down two td's. Was actually hoping they would beat GT
I'm no GT fan, but I can't support a UVa win that would make them bowl-eligible at this point
Edit: UVa has a Jeckyll and Hyde offense this year.
I know
No matter how you look at them GT blows.
So this uva-gt is extremely entertaining haha. Who would've thought?
No kidding just like that UVA ties It up.
On that note these past two games for GT haven't looked great for them. UVA held them to 68 yds rushing in the first half.
GT defesive backs look awful. Here's to hoping Cam and Sean can do this to them as well.
Whatever adjustments they made at halftime were wrong.
GT appears to have left their defense in the locker room.
Bed-hard still did not complete 50% of his passes!
Good games today. Clemson missed a fg. They are looking more beatable than I've seen in a while.
GT trying very, VERY hard to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.
They keep throwing it.....in the rain of all things.
And their QB throwing it just looks like he heaved it up for whomever on every pass.
The rain appears to have slowed considerably.
Don't look now, but Kinnick is getting after OSU
With so much great football on, it's hard to drink moderately so I can be coherent at 8pm.
Amen.
Yeah man, it's the only drawback of night games haha
This Okst/OU game might be the Big 12-iest game yet. So much offense.
Georgia Tech folding like a cheap suit.
Play some defense Big 12, holy shit
It is incredible that the over for Bedlam 76.5 could be hit in the first half.
Georgia Tech GIVING UVa a win. UVa getting every break possible.
The most pathetic game I've seen all year.
I know I shouldn't be wasting my time watching, but it's like the train wreck you can't look away from. Somebody has to lose, they just can't decide which one wants it more.
We have to #BeatMiami and win the coastal. It has been some fugly football this season.
Had to do that anyway. There really aren't any scenarios where VT loses to Miami and wins the coastal.
If Miami wins tonight, the only two teams left alive in the Coastal are Miami and UVA.
If VT wins, technically everyone except UNC and Duke is alive. GT and Pitt would be on very thin ice.
Therefore, the rest of the Coastal is rooting for VT. A Miami win would take VT, GT, and Pitt out of contention. UVA would need Miami to lose an additional game, so it might as well be tonight.
I understood that we have to win to get reigns of the coastal. I was attempting to say that these division games have been so bad, it's win out or bust to not look like the rest of the mess.
Looks like it's chop block O'clock... Wait where's PJ?
LeBatard (who i think is awesome) refers to it as Paul Johnson and his Amish Offense.
He's just another talking head DA.
Everything is going right for us if we want a shot at the playoffs. This game tonight is bigger than the Clemson game
If we take care of Miami, we should be #10 at minimum. Depending on what else happens, we could be #8 or #9.
I think my football IQ has dramatically dropped while watching the uva-gt game.
It's the roulette wheel of football scoring.
I've never seen an extra point hit both sides of the goal posts and still go in.
Always a leg for Airport.
Don't you mean Airplane?
Surely you can't be serious?
Don't call me Shirley!
... but what about Airplane?
Iowa doing tOSU dirty
So is the B10 deep or is it a down year??? /s.
Clemson D cannot handle big receivers. Their corners are getting ate up.
UVA is bowl eligible for the first time since 2011.
UVA bowl eligible....not sure how to feel about that
Not again.....
At least your times are improving. Only missed by a respectable 2 seconds.
Oh, I though the gif was to demonstrate how you feel about UVA...
Both I suppose
GIVE BRONCO AN EXTENSION
Yes, that was quite a game.
Iowa took Ohio State to the woodshed
It'll be very interesting to see how the committee reacts to that. CLEARLY, Ohio State is out (barring something out of Revelations)...but will Wiscy move up accordingly, Penn State? B1G not looking too awfully hot right now.
It will be pretty interesting if Penn State drops their game.
I was just talking to someone about that. Everyone was talking about Penn State and then how Ohio State was making a resurgence and beating PSU was proof..... Now how does that theory look.....?
Ohio State has come unglued.
Offsides on the 2 yard line? Crazy.
Pretty Shitty University and Overtly Shitty University about to fall! Let's get the little ten out of the playoff tonight!
SPARTY ON
1-7 Coastal Carolina up 13 at Arkansas in 4th q...with backup qb. #GOSEC
GO CHANTS!! 1-7 team too.
WVU held on to beat Iowa State. 20-14.
Will Grier and co decided to take the 2nd half off.
Over/under on bedlam was 77. Not even in the 4th and the over has it. My prediction first one to 60 wins it.
Thanks B1G!
MSU with the upset!
WE.MUST.WIN
VT needs to focus on tonights game.
Time to go 1-0 this week.
We have to handle our business, I keep saying to myself in an evil villain voice "Everything is going according to plan" then I remember we play the late game, and I get nervous all over again. Man if we pull this off we might be top 8.
Need.to.stop.thinking.past.tonight's.game.
It's 👏really 👏difficult 👏to👏Do👏That
Fortunately none of us here are going to be on the field tonight.
Aren't we the 12th man?
Stay focused.
...imagine what Da U will be ranked if we don't...
You rock Sparty!
What's the point of even having a defensive coordinator in the Big 12?
There would be a point to having a good one.
Need someone to coordinate the
defensetackling dummies your offense practices against during the week I guess.UVA became bowl eligible today... I feel a great disturbance in the force.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that we've beaten them every year for the last... eh, I stopped keeping track before the last time they were bowl eligible.
Check this tweet:
Midway through the second half, Saquon Barkley told Michigan State's defenders between plays that Ohio State was losing big. Chris Frey said Barkley said "we're playing for a championship.
Now MSU is.
I-O-W-A!!!! I'm hoping for a Michigan loss tonight to complete the BIG10 blue blood loss trifecta. I have no idea where the Iowa offense came from, but it was great seeing them blow out OSU. I don't think we see an Iowa win if this game was played at the shoe.
Let's GO HOKIES and take care of business!! Gotta focus on 1-0!!!!! Eight can't get here soon enough!
Ugghhh, my in-laws came over for dinner and haven't left yet. My MIL just suggested we let the two-yr old stay up later because of the time change. Are you people fucking kidding me? 5-minutes to vacate the premises and get your ass to bed!
I like your style.
This is an awful joke of an offensive gameplan
Wrong thread?
Clemson proving they are the luckiest team in the world yet again today.
