Nobody for SMU bothered to even try to jump on that Hail Mary. :jnc
One TCU guy surrounded by half the defense and it was about as easy a catch as you could ask for.

Looking like we're going to have a weather delay for our game. Lightning in the area.
Given that we're playing Arizona State, this would officially make us a PAC-12 After Dark participant.

I don't like that we gave their offense 58 yards through penalties on that drive but I do like that the penalites were at least generally based on hard play and attitude. Not a lot of that out of our defense the last few years.
7pm kickoff time for Texas Tech versus Oklahoma State in two weeks. Should be a great crowd, especially so if we don't lose to Houston.

Glad the Big 12 is getting some of its juice back though. There weren't many night games last year and one would think that Bedlam has a good chance of attracting Gameday.

SEC
I think we have seen the complete fruition of what happens when a coach/school becomes such a dominate force in a conference. There is a complete dearth of coaching talent in the SEC outside of Saban and to a lesser extent Mullen. Coaches don't want to come to the SEC. Its why even though it is clear Butch Jones is done I am not sure what we will get will be significantly better. Tennessee's only chance is if it gets lucky and Jim Bob Cooter a) wants to come b) can actually be a good head coach c) can actually recruit. Or they get lucky with some group of 5 school coach/ Thats a lot of ifs without much certainty. But Chip Kelly, Bobby Petrino, or any other big name coach isn't going to come to the SEC right now.
Yeah, the SEC is butt at the moment. It has kinda secretly been butt to a large extent for a while but usually they'd beat each other up to maintain the illusion of "week-in, week-out." This year they're all losing before conference play so the illusion is gone.
Feels to me like the Big 12 has a chance to be ahead of the Pac-12 or B1G in playoff pecking order this season. Obviously Bama would get in barring a collapse, then the ACC Champ, but neither the Pac-12 or B1G look great. Combine that with OU and OSU looking to be by far the class of the Big 12 and I think a spot is theirs to lose.
If Bama drops a game in the next few weeks Bedlam could be a top-2 matchup. I'm sure that'll go well for us. :(

Yeah it peaked around 07-10 then from 10-12 it was ok but after that it has been bad. It has definitely rock bottom now though. This is like the 90's again where Tennessee and Florida were good national title contenders and everyone else was butt and had terrible coaches. Just instead of 2 good teams it is just 1.

Somewhere, MidnightRider or whatever the hell his backwards name was is smiling with 4 visible teeth.
Also: I am lowkey really excited to see Arkansas vs. Aggy this weekend. It's this year's version of last year's LSU-Auburn game.

I would say that it is just an invite to get your ass kicked in some bigger bowl game.

Far better than Arky's normal unis. They're a school that should rock a traditional look.
On a related note, I really wish we played them. They're the closest geographical school to us outside of OU. Could be a great rivalry.

Week 4:
That feeling when only 5 of your 14 teams are undefeated after 3 weeks and 2 of them are Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
SEC Power Rankings:
1. Bama
2. Mississippi State (dominant home win against a possibly butt LSU team)
3. UGA (a 1-point win at ND their claim to fame)
4-14. who gives a shit, even 2 and 3 are pretty uninspiring
Morning Games of Note
NCSU @ #12 Florida State
Texas A&M vs. Arkansas (the Thunderdome game of the week: 2 coaches enter, one coach leaves)
Afternoon Games of Note
#5 USC @ Cal
#16 TCU @ #6 Oklahoma State
#8 Michigan @ Purdue (GONDO'S UPSET SPECIAL OF THE WEEK)
Afternoon Games of Note
#17 Mississippi State @ #11 Georgia
#20 Florida @ Kentucky (for the lulz)
#7 Washington @ Colorado

Our record since Gundy's rant: 94-35, including 5 10-win seasons (we only had 3 10-win seasons in our entire history before Gundy was coach, and 2 were with him playing QB).
I can't believe that was a decade ago. It's still so great.
Notre Dame @ Michigan State in prime time on Fox tomorrow night. Last meeting until the series takes a break until 2026 for some reason. Should be decent.

Just got to the game. Still feels kind of like a toss up to me. Hope we pull it off, a 3-0 start would be big for us.
Yo I don't think I've ever been more hyped to play Toledo. Fucking 2 straight weeks with no games cause of this hurricane, I'm so ready for the actual Hurricanes to take the field for the second home game of the season. I'll be rocking that turnover chain shirt at the game today.
Offense is killing us today. Three turnovers by the defense and we've only turned them into 3 points.
By KingGondo Go To PostWe are legit this year.You sure?
By jjasper Go To PostYou sure?Lmao. Not anymore.
By jjasper Go To PostYou sure?They're just getting my hopes up before crushing us next week.
Go green, I guess? I still have no "school spirit" yet. Just had sirens go past my apartment and helicopters flying over.
I'm laughing at this LSU game. Hey, guys (read: local fans), Les Miles was totally the problem, right?
e: yes, I'm hate-watching the only nationally-broadcasted team I like. just so i can laugh in the face of people who were convinced anyone would do better than Miles

Not a good start for Spartans. Concede a touchdown on Irish's first drive and then throw an interception for a touchdown on their own first drive. I almost went to this game.
By GQman2121 Go To PostGood drive and TD though from MSU.I like the 5 second hugging of the ball afterwards.
