Injured or just quitting?

Both. Quitting due to injuries. At least I assume so since he got knocked out of this last game.

 

[Chris R]

Forget driving (4+ hours each way) to Dallas for the Cowboys game, gonna go to TCU/UT instead! Would be great if both teams were ranked and doing very well come Thanksgiving

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Jordan Wynn done with football. RIP Utah's contender potential in the South.

I can barely get reception in Husky Stadium too, and it's 10 minutes from downtown Seattle.

Utah fans here are quietly cheering. They feel that they're better off with Hays of Wilson. You hate to see a guy wash out due to injuries, but he really hasn't done much for Utah. His ceiling is definitely higher than Hays/Wilson, but he's never playing at that level because of his shoulder problem.

I wish he could have been playing this week...

 

[StrikerObi]

AT&T is one of the sponsors at Autzen and I still don't have a signal for most of the game. It would be nice if they at least had WiFi or something. I usually manage to get one pic on Facebook before kickoff but after that it's hard to even check scores from other games.

We had the same problem at Doak Campbell until this year. AT&T has been a sponsor for years and I never got a signal ever on a gameday, not even NEAR the stadium.

This summer, they installed dozens of antennas all over the stadium (one at every entrance to the stands, plus a few more to cover the corners). I actually got a reliable signal when I was at the home opener. I was amazed.

 

[Slo]

Only 4 more victories until bowl eligibility! Go Goldy! Fuck Wisconsin!

 

[LosDaddie]

Oh yeah, never got to post my picture from FSU's first game:

Great seats on the sunny side of the stadium. But it was CONSTANT SWEAT, even at 6pm when the game started, until the sun went down.

I think we'll beat Wake Forest pretty easily but then again, I've thought that on pretty much every loss to them in recent memory. The fact it's at home should certainly help.

I place most of the blame on Jimbo for last year. If EJ was healthy enough to play, then he should've started. EJ and Jimbo are the reasons why I don't see FSU getting to the MNC this year. Both have a ton to prove this season.

This summer, they installed dozens of antennas all over the stadium (one at every entrance to the stands, plus a few more to cover the corners). I actually got a reliable signal when I was at the home opener. I was amazed.

Bullshit...unless it was only for AT&T people. My Sprint celly (iphone) got nothing. Couldn't get a text out until we got on Monroe St.

 

[StrikerObi]

Oh yeah, never got to post my picture from FSU's first game:

Holy crap dude we were right near each other. I was in Section 12, Row 16. From this shot it looks like you were in Section 9 or 10, about as many rows up as I was.

Section 12 is the worst section for the sun, apparently. The sun sets right between the gap between the other side of the stadium and University Center D, leaving Section 12 (and 13) in the sun longer than any other part of the stadium. And it was indeed balls hot the entire time.

Shit...apparently two of our linebackers are out. Jenkins is out for a month for a broken and Powell might be gone for the rest of the season (ACL).

Powell has been out since Spring, so it's not really a loss per se.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I would be surprised if Powell comes back.

 

[jjasper]

Surprised I'm not seeing more gloating Vols here.

Knowing our luck their replacements will be better than they are.

 

[andycapps]

Sucks for you Gatas.

I'm happy to be getting back a bunch of players this week, and that everyone should either be 100% this week, or be rested this week since we're playing a patsy and then be 100% the following week.

I've always had the same problem at Illinois games. You get bars but nothing seems to through.

Bama, LSU & USC.

Everyone else.

Thank God it's still early cause I'm already bored.

Football is just a placeholder for basketball this year.

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Powell was kind of expected. The time frame they gave was ridiculously optimistic.

I would be shocked if Jenkins doesn't come back earlier than that with a club. Fill ins did fine, though, and Bostic did a good job taking over calls.

 

[Limedust]

Fun Fact: With Fowler out for the season, our new H-back / Fullback is a walk-on.

Probably expected a scholarship, but Saban didn't tell him he was over-signing by like 15 schollys that year.

 

[Chris R]

hope you have fun!

Don't see how I wont! Going to try to buy tickets later today and plan on showing up early if I can come game day.

 

[perfectchaos007]

All 4 teams who defected from the BigXII for greener pastures (Colorado, Aggy, Nebraska, and Mizzou) all lost this weekend. Enjoy your Dan Beebe curse!

Pitt and Syracuse are atrocious as well, moving to the ACC. The conference curse working well.

Man, when was the last time we were in the top 25? Feels like forever.

When was the last time you beat Florida?

 

[Ezduo]

When was the last time you beat Florida?

Long enough that I can't immediately recall which is depressing. 2004 apparently. Oh well, I didn't really follow the Vols back then so it's not that bad.

 

[Monroeski]

God it's going to be almost three weeks before we play a game I care about. We're 31 point favorites versus New Mexico this weekend and then have a bye week before Iowa State.

SUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

 

[JCX]

Last ND @ MSU game:

 

[bucknuticus]

God it's going to be almost three weeks before we play a game I care about. We're 31 point favorites versus New Mexico this weekend and then have a bye week before Iowa State.

SUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

I'm still 2 weeks away from a game I care. 4 fairly easy games the first 4 weeks, although UCF and Cal have some intrigue because they have a handful of NFL type guys. Im thinking of selling my ticket to our games vs UAB though.

 

[Meier]

I would be surprised if Powell comes back.

Any word on Easley's injury? I know he got hurt at some point on Saturday. That recruiting class has taken a beating in terms of guys leaving or getting hurt.

God it's going to be almost three weeks before we play a game I care about. We're 31 point favorites versus New Mexico this weekend and then have a bye week before Iowa State.

SUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

They played UT fairly tough in the first half. Their offense looked pretty tricky -- a lot of indirection and option play. They had one of their two QBs get hurt though and looked much more vanilla afterwards.. not sure the extent of his injury. A few shifty guys on their team though.

Walker has been a starter already.

Lucky #8! Nothing bad can happen to the Gamecocks now!

I'm skipping the next two weeks. I'd rather save my money for the B1G games.

See how little respect I have for your Cal Bears, Cyan?

 

[mre]

:jnc

#8 is the new #2.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I don't think anything involving that program can be sandbagged nowadays.

 

[Monroeski]

Jesus, I only just now saw the LSU-Washington score from this past weekend.

Glad I didn't pick Washington for the upset in pick 'em like I had thought about doing.

 

[MightyHealthy]

I'm even more worried about the upcoming game vs. UNC...they lost by 1 point to Wake Forest, so they'll be fired up thanks to that.

If they would have won, I'd also imagine the game would have been the 4th matchup between ranked opponents.

 

[Tallshortman]

Probably expected a scholarship, but Saban didn't tell him he was over-signing by like 15 schollys that year.

I'm still amazed he gets away with the amount of oversigning and gray shirting he does.

 

[Cyan]

P.S. How was this not in the OP?

Badgers?!

 

[Sirpopopop]

Gary Nova is the best quarterback in CFB history.

You all will see it on Thursday.

Deal with this Chitown, you dirty South Florida supporter.

NICE! Yeah man, my clothes were drenched in sweat before the 1st qtr ended.

I may drive up for the Clempson game, but I'm def going to the USF game, and most likely the Miami game.

Hey bama people, what's the proper way to troll Ole Miss, do you come out and say they are in the Klan, or do you tease it out of them with coded words like state's rights, a secret organization, and ghosts might be real?

I am, of course, assuming that all Ole Miss fans are in the Klan.

 

[Lonestar]

Ouch, Alabama/Arkansas gets the no show on the wannabe Yahoo guy.

Way to go, Tyler Wilson's Brain. WTG.

Yeah, but they've also had an outreach program the last few years.
