Week 2 Meltdown thread

Not as many big games or crazy losses this week, but as always an entertaining NSFW read.

Go forth!

We're running up the score on that poll so bad it's like we're playing our own defense!

Spoiler

It's not nearly as bad as if we were playing our own defense.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Best OT yet.

 

[Haloid1177]

LSU has a QB maybe kinda sorta well they have someone who makes semi-okay decisions against Jacksonville St. but hey we're gonna totally win the SEC now!

Give Les an extension!

Spoiler

I hate everyone.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I need to sleep in on Saturday so I don't fall asleep during the late Texas v. Cal game. Won't be over until 1am-ish Texas time

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Best OT yet.

Any idiot can do it!

 

[Krejlooc]

Texas has a better record in Lincoln vs Nebraska than they do in Austin vs Nebraska. They are 4-0 in Austin, but they are 5-0 in Lincoln.

 

[urge26]

MCU vs Oaky. My body is ready.

 

[Googly Eyes Dog]

Currebtly enjoying being undefeated until we face MSU.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Go Huskies!

 

[superdeluxe]

Portland State..Zzzzzzz Wake me up when Conference play starts.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Gotta put #13 Iowa on upset alert this week. No FBS team is safe against NDSU

 

[Yaboosh]

With no Derwin, Lamar is going to light us up. Hope their defense sucks.

 

[StoOgE]

The real story this week is the MoB going HAM on Baylor.

Don't let me down Rice.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Boulware questionable and Hunter Renfrow being out significantly handicaps us for the next few weeks.

 

[ag-my001]

Any Auburn fans around? I need to know which team is causing fans more anxiety.

 

[Poeton]

I need Texas to keep winning and I need the Sooners to beat the Buckeyes. So when Texas beats the Sooners in Dallas we can maximize our jump in the polls.

Spoiler

I also like seeing the Buckeyes lose. Go Gators!

 

[Mac the KNife]

The best part about this week isn't that Brian Kelly has to watch the MSU/Furman game,

It's that he must dissect, analyze and consume it.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Boulware questionable and Hunter Renfrow being out significantly handicaps us for the next few weeks.

We have depth for days at wr and Boulware will be back for Georgia tech.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

People here in Colorado feeling optimistic about the Big House throwdown

 

[urge26]

People here in Colorado feeling optimistic about the Big House throwdown

Heart pulling for Colorado, head pulling for team up north.

 

[ryseing]

So quick to the draw Randolph. I will create one of these OTs eventually and it will be glorious.

 

[andycapps]

People here in Colorado feeling optimistic about the Big House throwdown

Feeling uppity, huh?

 

[NYHorn36]

I need to sleep in on Saturday so I don't fall asleep during the late Texas v. Cal game. Won't be over until 1am-ish Texas time

Try being on the East Coast. Reminds me of watching '05 USC and Fresno State in the Reggie Bush highlight game during law school. It was like 3 am by the time that thing ended.

Going to a wedding too on Saturday so should be interesting.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

So quick to the draw Randolph. I will create one of these OTs eventually and it will be glorious.

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to start one of these things.



Or at least sometime before noon. Pacific.

 

[devildog820]

With no Derwin, Lamar is going to light us up. Hope their defense sucks.

Is this sandbagging or are FSU fans really worried?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Is this sandbagging or are FSU fans really worried?

It's a noon game against a top 10 opponent on the road. Any fanbase would be worried, with or without missing players.

 

[StoOgE]

Oh yeah,

I'm also on a plane tomorrow afternoon to SF.

 

[Smokey]

Go Coogs

 

[devildog820]

TIL Louisville is number 10. I really should read the polls when UF is not a factor.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

USC supplying bulletin board material already:

http://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/la-sp-usc-football-20160912-snap-story.html

elton has tried to establish a similar, no-nonsense culture at USC, though his early efforts have returned uneven results. The running game fizzled in USC’s opening game, though it improved last week.

Off-the-field issues, the kind Stanford has, generally, deftly avoided, have trailed the team.

The matchup blossomed into an almost-rivalry as early as 2007, when Jim Harbaugh’s 41-point underdog Stanford team shocked USC.

By the time Zach Banner, now a fifth-year senior, arrived at USC, he said, the game had extra importance. “It’s not UCLA or Notre Dame,” Banner said. But, he added, “Stanford is a rivalry game.”

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Gotta put #13 Iowa on upset alert this week. No FBS team is safe against NDSU

Already called it.

Iowa
vs Miami (OH) - W
vs Iowa State - W - This was scheduled to be ISU's year to get the upset, but I don't think the new guy pulls it off.
vs North Dakota St - L
@ Rutgers - W
vs Northwestern - W
@ Minnesota - W
@ Purdue - W
vs Wisconsin - L
@ Penn State - L
vs Michigan - L
@ Illinois - W
vs Nebraska - L

Bob's Towing Bowl vs some other scrub team that also doesn't deserve a bowl - L

But if they do manage to pull it out, how soon does the "but who has Iowa played?" mantra start?

 

[Slo]

Minnesota isn't a threat to Iowa.

 

[Slo]

Illinois scheduled Minney for it's homecoming game if that tells you anything.

 

[LosDaddie]

First loss of the season on deck. Only saving grace may be that the UL game is at noon.

Also, heading to St. Petersburg this weekend to celebrate mom's birthday. So drinking the pain away will be easy.

 

[Lonestar]

Gigapixel of the Bristol game

From near the field, all seats are far away.

50 yard line, front row, start of game. Excitement

There's 3 "Imagining a game because of no pictures"
There's a guy resigned to his fate of spending the money to get front row tickets to an event he can't see.
Multiple people trying to find the right direction of where the game is being held.
A couple of people just watching the big screens overhead.
1 Guy in Tennessee overalls, cause thats what they do.

 

[pxleyes]

Sigh, I hate having to add another person to the list, but here goes.

Fuck you, Dabo Sweeney.

 

[dakilla13]

Go Huskies! Let's not lose to Portland State like Wazzu did.

 

[bucknuticus]

Fox, which will broadcast Saturday's game between No. 3 Ohio State and No. 14 Oklahoma, announced on Tuesday a new viewing experience for anyone wanting to check out the game. Fans can experience the game in virtual reality through the Fox Sports VR app.

Thanks Buck!

Zero GEDs detected.

 

[Lonestar]

Zero GEDs detected.

my favorite is the guy in the upper right, behind and to the right of the guy with glasses. The guy with his hands behind his hand, resigning himself to watching a football game at a racetrack.

 

[truly101]

So with that whole fake class mess out of the way UNC can now be a big time football program

http://abc11.com/news/unc-chapel-hill-student-claims-rape-by-football-player/1509665/

Also: Truthfact!! Duke sucks way more than Northwestern this year.

 

[Yaboosh]

Derwin out 5-7 weeks. Big bummer.

 

[jfkgoblue]

New A Season With FSU tonight awwww yeah

 

[BTM]

GBR! Win this week would be huge

 

[chaosblade]

Work this Saturday, going to miss some good games. Should catch the evening and night ones at least.
