Anybody else notice that BC didn't prairie dog at all during the game? No hurry to the line, then all look to the sideline?

Not strictly fishing but worth the read; Sand County Almanac by Alexander Leopold.

Let's talk about Frank Beamer. Sounded good in the booth, and looked good. Despite ESPN split screening him over the game, I enjoyed his analysis. Glad the boys gave him something to evaluate, was able to talk like an unbiased former coach without having to use coach speak to cover up our ills. Would make a good part time color guy (game is too fast for his drawl full time),

Nope.

There's a couple of passing Os coming up on our schedule. And ranked teams. Let's see this focus put to the test. I think Miami is the only team that hasn't really played a head scratcher yet. UNC looked in trouble against the Dukes early, but pulled away. ECU beat NC State, but silenced by the Carolina from the South.

Does Mason still contribute here? Don't remember seeing his name on an article recently.

I wonder how long BC will put up with not winning a conference game in football. I mean, BC is currently at the bottom of the ACC barrel, and although they have some company in Wake and LOLUVA, would you hold onto a coach if they didn't win a single conference game in last two years?

If a good coach were taking on a seriously downtrodden program, I would expect to lose a lot at first but get up to speed by year 3. This is Addazio's fourth year there and they don't look like they're improving. They more closely resemble the trajectory of Michigan under Brady Hoke or ND under Charlie Weis. First year or two he did well enough with the talent and strategy of the previous regime, but by year three it was clear that he wasn't making the program better.

As much as I like Addazio, maybe he isn't making Boston College better, either. Their schedule is less than daunting but I don't see many expected victories.

So the results are:

Louisville wins outright
Ole Miss covers
Oregon covers
Texas A&M wins outright
Michigan State wins outright
Ohio State covers

5-1 for me this week since Alabama didn't win by margin. I guess that'll do

This is fair. I don't Loeffler is as terrible an offensive coordinator as he is made out to be, that includes jokes from TKP. He did a very good job stocking the cupboard during his tenure at Tech. His ultimate downfall was over-complicating the Hokies' offense to the point of ineffectiveness.

I couldn't help but notice Boston College's struggles on offense being very similar to Tech's over the last 3 years. It was a little bit 'Haha, he's your problem now', but more remembering what a mess things at Tech had been and laughing at the situation.
