  1. Honestly, the SEC should review that and issue a targeting penalty. The player should be DQ'ed for the next game. I don't feel guilty at all about the Caldwell end zone incompletion call being overturned.
  2. To go down 5 late in the game after having had a lead of 26, is precisely the sort of game these Spurs would have been unable to win in previous seasons. Didn't have Fox, Sochan, or Kornet. These guys have bought in and are stepping up. Harper should be on that Kia rookie ladder, although it's a stacked year with Edgecombe, Bailey, Tre, and Keith Van Flagg
  3. Democrats have worse approval ratings than Trump for a reason, and the reason isn't that they're too far to the Left.
  4. I'm still that guy, but yeah I'd rather watch from home. Hell, in the middle of a workday I was in the 995 txhsfb thread the other day and someone posted a livestream of Allen vs. Prosper, ended on a missed FG. Football at any level is fun to watch, so long as the teams are evenly matched. I concur with your opinion that some schools just don't have the juice for FBS. Idaho relegated itself down from FBS and is doing much better as a result. I'm not sure who at Sam and SFA believed they were ready to make the jump, but perhaps they accounted for the growing pains and these grotesque transitions were viewed as a necessary sacrifice in order to become the next Stark Vegas. Who the hell knows? Meanwhile you see UTRGV out of nothing (technically UT-Pan Am had a football program back in like the 1950's) having a successful inaugural season in a right-sized stadium for a 1M+ media market, and if the program continues to have on-field and financial success it would be a good candidate to make the jump to FBS, the way Texas State did. A place like San Marcos, it makes a lot of sense. Huntsville, not so much. A population center like Hidalgo County is closer to a San Marcos than a Huntsville. I'd like to see Sacramento State jump to FBS too. I'm rambling at this point, but to bring this back to your objection, I think with the trend of programs jumping from FCS to FBS you're gonna have a few swings and misses, but overall I haven't felt like it has eroded the quality of college football. You don't spend your day on 20 page threads slut shaming some woman because her husband's agent had the audacity to put out (or accept) feelers on a new job? Maybe you're not taking football seriously enough.
  5. They wouldn't show the games if we didn't watch 'em. Deep down, we're all Sickos and yes we are invested when it's midnight, we post up at the Applebee's bar and see it's 25-23 with 3:17 left in 4th quarter between Central Hawai'i A&M and Billy Graham University, no timeouts remaining and you've got some Chilean theology major warming up his leg on the sidelines.
  6. Not to derail this thread with non-CR football talk, but in the not so distant future I think we are going to see the CFB equivalent of NIT and CBI tournaments. The beauty of bowl season is that each game is theoretically supposed to be an intriguing, even matchup. The beauty of a playoff is that if you're playing your best football at the end of the season, you can truly throw out the record book, settle things on the field, and achieve redemption even for the unforgivable sin of losing to Michigan. NIL in some ways helps to even the playing field, and in other ways makes true parity impossible because some programs clearly have greater financial resources than others. You will see perennial playoff teams, and you will see perennial bubble teams, and there's money to be made with two- and three-round tournaments consisting of those teams that are left out of CFP.
  7. If he's injured that probably seals his Heisman chances
  8. The ACC is so weird
  9. They stopped sucking almost immediately after Babers dropped off the livestream
  10. Not to be that guy but he probably should have slid at the 1 yard line
  11. Padding the stats when it doesn't matter, but he cannot be counted on in big moments.
  12. Yes I love when the team scratches its ass for 25 seconds after a sack
  13. I'm fucking DONE with Wingo
  14. A smart interim coach trying to triage this team would probably utilize Caldwell and bring in Manning for long yardage gadget and short yardage run plays
  15. Pavia will hang 50+ on us
  16. Sark: "That was a great drive, but the plays developed way too quickly. You need to let them marinate a bit. Don't try to advance the ball until the pocket is collapsing."
  17. Is Birmingham nice in December?
  18. We're making them look like Florida out here
  19. Yeah at least Lane Kiffin doesn't have any off the field issues
  20. Can we not find one guy on campus who can actually run THROUGH a fucking arm tackle?
  21. At least Lebby gets mad at his players when they fuck up
  22. He's telling Mark Stoops "Hold my beer"
  23. How much would they make by betting all their NIL against themselves?
