Didn’t get home from my meet until 4:00 I watched the UC/Pitt game in 5x speed. It was 27-6 with 4 min left and I was just trying to get through it kinda watching. Then my buddy Ironman02 (who I rarely message) sends me a message saying “great comeback by Pitt”

So I enjoyed the rest of the game. Actually kinda impressive. I’ll move Pitt up to #42 in my biased rankings.


The small world part of this game….UC defensive coordinator is the brother of the guy I teach with at my tiny school. Felt bad for him but it was the UC offense/Pitt defense that caused the huge rally

Buckeyes look the part tonight.  No strong non-league game makes me really nervous though.  There’s only so much a game like Western Michigan can show you.


Still enjoying the beat down Michigan received.

Lol I had a friend exit the group chat bc of Michigan. Ohio state’s wrs look awesome, but I agree, not sure what to expect when they play a real team.

After seeing how Michigan and Notre Dame looked….Penn St not good against the MAC

I do t want Kelly to let up on the play calling just yet either

So, uh, Shedeur isn't going to be grading highly among pro teams in the "maturity/accountability" categories, it seems.

Wasn't overly paying attention to college football Saturday, but apparently when he got taken out of the game by pops late in their loss to Nebraska (one of the teams they beat last year), he immediately went to the locker room instead of staying on the field. And then threw the OL under the bus after the game. I mean, yeah, he did get sacked six times according to the box score, but you don't usually see quarterbacks essentially blame their bad day on their line. Usually let the announcers do that work while they give bland "we need to execute better as a team" comments.

Also, it never gets old to see Notre Dame lost to a far lesser program. Nice to see their hype train get derailed early in the season, especially since a couple Irish fans I know were a bit too pleased with things after they won on the road at perpetually-overrated A&M. I mean, how did they start in the Top 25 when they haven't shown any on-field ability recently? Michigan getting smacked also was fun, but far more predictable.

Shedeur's father proceeded to throw the O-line under the bus after the game, so I am not surprised.  I'm glad to see the Colorado house of cards further exposed.


Not an ND fan, but I really like Marcus Freeman.  I hope he's able to right the ship.

He has what it takes, based on the big games. But he has to get his teams to show up for the lesser teams.

FSU is 0-3 for the third time in fifty years. The first was back in the 1970s, and the second time was in 2021 also under coach Norvell.

They just don't have a remotely competent offense. D.J. probably needs to be benched. Don't know what their backup QB situation is, but his stats seem a lot like the NFL when the starter goes down and the back-up takes over to go 12-23 for 112 yards because all he's trusted to do are quick-hitters and check-downs.

LSU-SC game was just bonkers. Crazy stuff happened right and left there; easily the most entertaining game so far today that I've seen for any amount of time.

It’s a shame FSU isn’t rewarddd by the ACC for its quality of win production.😉

Glad to see.  The Big Ten needs a stronger second tier than it has had.  Indiana looks like a solid team to fill it.


I had a feeling Chip Kelly was leaving a stinky bathroom with an unflushed deuce behind him.

No shit. Was watching some of this game, realized Rourke was now  their QB and got pissed and started drinking more heavily.

I just don’t understand WTF defenders are looking at in those situations? Safety standing on edge of back of goal line???? Not close to anyone.

Look at the fucking ball someone
