Oh, give me a break!

My wife and I were both pulling for Tech.
They are going to be a handle for teams this season!

Is North Alabama playing today?

I don't think North Alabama won't to play tonight! NA players getting a lot of cramps. Now behind 27-15.

While I’m still protesting to the idea of a week 0, I will offer up that the small slate of games was entertaining as a whole. I wish Nevada had held on. Glad FSU lost. It’s the Yellow Jackets, not the Noles, who belong in the SEC.

For a day when the only dog I had in the fight was a "Benjamin," okay, two...

It was a good football day! FCS football can be bland, but still solid, fundamental football.

It's ironic I mentioned the stadium playing Ozzy last night. They were playing "Crazy Train." If this weekend was any indication ...

NOW, this was disappointing. Enunciation. I know she said Guinness, but only because I know Guinness is a beer and they were in Ireland. Perhaps, just perhaps, she's been in the Jameson?

I enjoy reading some of "Three Year Letterman's" posts on X occasionally. For me, his shtick is old. But, I still find entertainment watching people fall for his "trolls." All they have to do is a simple search and they'll see, it's a shtick.

The same applies with Danny Kannell. For me, his shtick is old. But, I still find entertainment watching people fall for his "trolls." It's a shtick.

While he doesn't work for ESPN any longer, why do people forget that this whole industry started with "The Mothership" whose acronym starts with "E," for Entertainment.

One comment that made me laugh today.

FSU, as a playoff contender, is the first team to be ranked 17th in the ACC.

 

[Bamabww]

Coach Saban starts 0-1 in his new job.

 

[24and7]

All those poor FSU souls, that made that trip believing they would win…The crowd was estimated around 80/20..

 

[TerryP]

Just caught this note on Pate's Late Kick from last night.

In the final 22 minutes of the game Saturday FSU had one drive. One.

The funniest thing from the weekend? People asking for refunds from subscription sites because they were so high on FSU.

I'm playing with this again today...so @mando will be upset

What's the spread for the Colorado game? Which way have betters been leaning?

Public, Col. Me, ND St.

It's a 2/1 ticket number in Vegas right now.

@Crimson&WhiteGecko It's me...for live threads during game days

 

[TerryP]

I'm still playing with it...so, sorry you have to be the rat in the box when I'm playing.

 

[TerryP]

Essentially, it's live chat that goes to the game thread so you don't have to refresh

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

It's pretty slick but I cannot imagine how this thing is going to be doom/gloom scrolling as the 'Bama game rolls on...
