Very defensive heavy game so far too. Both defenses have been very impressive. Or they were when I first started typing this sentence, Texas seems to have forgotten how to play defense ever since.
That did go well, though afterwards maybe a little less impressive. After the last two weeks though, I’m just hoping not to jinx Florida into second half blowout loss.
I do still feel like the main issue this year is roster construction, not coaching competence.
I’m legitimately upset that I have to pull for Texas today, they’ve quickly become one of my more hated teams that ain’t rivals since they joined the SEC. It feels way dirtier than pulling for Tennnesse or LSU(I’m a UGA fan since we don’t have flair)
I feel the same way on the other side. Had no opinion of Georgia before the 2019 Sugar Bowl, but something about that game rubbed me the wrong way. I think it was the sense of entitlement from the UGA fans and players, as if they deserved a playoff berth instead. (Fully aware that our fanbase and program also have those issues.)
But since that game, y'all have had our number and picked up the titles to boot, so I don't think Georgia has anything to worry about whenever they play Texas
If yall beat Alabama we’ll get to find out in Atlanta it looks like
Edit: Also I think our success against yall recently is just that Kirby has had Sarks number thus far, I ain’t complaining at all but if yall get someone else in there the money and talet yall can get worry me
Ryan Day tried five or six times to run it in at the goal line and could not. In the end they got the TD by throwing it, but they just aren't a physical team and I don't know why they try to act like they are in these situations (not like I'm complaining lol). The "born on third base" thing must still be getting to Day
I was just thinking the uniforms, the crowd, and the need to have the color balance accommodate the shade and sun is giving me Verne-n-Gary CBS vibes, in a good way.
I haven't watched any WVU games yet this season, but the live box scores have been highly entertaining. High-flying offense with terrible defense. Several back-and-forth games.

10pm (CT) kickoff for Nebraska v Oregon. I'm ready. For the first quarter, then I'm probably falling asleep.
Hummed to the tune of "badger, badger, badger, MUSHROOM, MUSHROOM":
"Punt, punt, punt, TURNOVER, TURNOVER"
florida @ Texas
If my UT can't play the gators this year, I guess I can cheer for another Manning in orange to beat the gators

If Arch figures it out, the Gators will be in trouble. The secondary is by far their weakest unit.
There's the Niblett punt return TD that I've been missing!
I don’t know how the Gators are hanging in there, really, but I’ll take it. First drive in the second half will be huge.
The backup QB is surprisingly good for a first start and a road environment like this. Good O-line, too. And my goodness y'all have a great punter
It's a tale as old as time. Backup gator qb embarrassing UT.
Yeah that's exactly what you wanted to see huh? Not at all what I wanted to see...

tbh, it still feels weird even caring about Texas (or Mizz or A&M or Oklahoma). I do not care for conference expansion
No it’s far far worse than drivin in my truck

I HATE GOING FOR IT ON 4TH IN OUR OWN TERRITORY
Does this put Sark on the hot seat?
No, but if we lose to another team we're expected to beat (looking at you, Arkansas and aggy) then we can talk
This Gators team? Who dafuq knows?
They sure have an appetite for top 10 teams (that have no business being ranked as high as they are)
Including auto-cannibalism, lol.
Apparently not as good at that as Texas...
Just now tuning in. Manning had better play better than he did last week
Welp, he's not. Even though the UF DB couldn't haul it in, that was an awful decision
Aaaaand then we turnover on downs, so from a field position standpoint it would have been better if the Gators got that INT
Seeing Texas piss that game away was sure something.
I will be a Jones believer if he plays well after teams have a couple of games of film on him, but he was just the ticket today.
Arch has strengths, but man I am just not sold he’s ever going to be a team elevator.
He is a team elevator, he's just the staff elevator that also has basement access
Anybody watching an Ohio State at Indiana?

Alabama @ Tennessee
God the color rush matchup is beautiful
This Vol defense is unrelenting. So fun to watch
I was just thinking the uniforms, the crowd, and the need to have the color balance accommodate the shade and sun is giving me Verne-n-Gary CBS vibes, in a good way.
Ugh I miss those horns so bad 😭
I really hope leaving those points on the board doesn't come back to bite us
Vols really leaning into the "foot" part of "football"
The worst part of this game is that Tennessee is still one big play away from losing the lead
If we can start finding the endzone then I'll be able to breath
😌
shit... fuck
We ain't done a lot offensively so far, but bama has done far less
I will insult you only by diminishing our rivalry and telling you I’m pleased you guys won.
So are you allowed to smoke at Rocky top? Cuz I saw like three people with lit cigars in that audience.
For this one you are. GBO
SMOKE EM IF YOU GOT EM
Virginia @ SMU
The cw halftime show tearing into the 24 team playoff, espn would never
Honestly after watching a couple games on the CW I'm rather impressed. I like their broadcasts. I like it better than most ESPN broadcasts certainly.
Go Gamecocks! 🤙
I'm 100% sure we can't lose today.
...95%.
I don’t care for Auburn
MIZ!
ND at BYU
Pretty cool double pass for the BYU QB to score a TD catch
Pretty funny failed spike at the end of the half
Cougs taking it to the irish so far. Very much confirming my thoughts that they aint played nobody pawl
This is what happens when you play somebody paaaawwwwl
Moseyed back to watch some of the Michigan game. Looks like they finally benched Underwood and learned how to score on offense. About time
Auburn @ Georgia
Anything can happen in a rivalry game...
Auburn did it!
BWAHAHAHA
I haven't watched any WVU games yet this season, but the live box scores have been highly entertaining. High-flying offense with terrible defense. Several back-and-forth games.
TCU @ Baylor
Frogs defense feasting in the Revivalry
Couple of big wins for the reptiles in Texas today, advantage of being warm blooded I guess
FSU @ Miami
Man it would be so funny if FSU pulls this off and the ND score holds
Northwestern @ Michigan State
Looks like an exciting game, to bad it's on peacock
Did UCLA run out of 'Leava's? Neither one has stats by halftime
I didn't realize they even had non Iamaleavas
