I don't always like Coach Franklin.  He tends to choke in big games.  But his response to this letter is great.  

Also, really hate the people who wrote the letter seem to be OK with child rape.

During their pregame warmups, Penn State football players wore shirts in that supported teammate Jonathan Sutherland, who received a letter from an old white couple that chided him for his shoulder-length dreadlocks. The shirts played off of the team’s rallying cry and read “Chains, Tattoos, Dreads, & WE ARE.” However, these shirts didn’t remain on the field for long as Penn State staff members soon approached players to confiscate them.

ESPN’s Holly Rowe reported that coach James Franklin wasn’t pleased with the decision to wear the shirts saying, “Hey, I’m just upset that we didn’t talk about it. The players did this on their own.” He added that he felt this was an unnecessary move because this concern had already been addressed this past week.

I think the Surrender Index was brought up in the NFL thread, but there was one play in the UConn/Tulane game that would be embarrassingly high on that ranking.  UConn was on Tulane's 45, down 28, and it was 4th and 1 - and punted.


I'm not a UConn football fan, which I'm thankful for because they're embarrassing the last few years.  The best thing to have happened at the Rent this year was Hartford Athletic, the soccer team.

What was the quarter and time left in it?  Those are taken into account for the Surrender Index.  You can figure it out here

15 seconds left in 2nd quarter

4th and 1 in your opponents territory should almost always be a go-for-it situation.

I forgot to set my fantasy team, but I don't give a shit because WE BEAT STANFORD! Fuck Trees, it's been 12 years. Kevin Hogan can't hurt me no more!

We're also a half game back in the South, so, lol.

[VerbalPuke]

Wisconsin goes down to Illinois! Nice upset.

Lovvvvvvvvvvvvieeeeeeeeee

Goddamn, Auburn fucking stomped Arkansas and next week we've got Alabama. It's gonna be a demoralizing few weeks of football for Razorbacks fans, folks. Fire Chad Morris already.

You think that's bad? I missed out on $400 because I was naïve enough to take Arkansas at +21.5 because they were home and thought maybe they could at least keep it reasonable. Fucking hogs.

On track for the 2nd ever 10 loss season in school history. Woo Pig.

In lighter news;

(everyone, including the horses, was okay.)

[Meacon Keaton]

Well would you look at that. Shea Patterson shitting the bed against a good defense. Is water still wet or...? It's a shame he can't just play Rutgers every week. He'd be the quarterback ESPN so desperately wants him to be. 

[The Buscher]

Harbaugh constantly trotting him out there is a fireable offense.

[Meacon Keaton]

I know how hard it is to coach. And I know how hard it is and how destructive it could be to a quarterback's confidence to take out your senior for another QB. And I also haven't been to the practices to see how they are there. But I've said it before, and I'll say it again now: Michigan would be so much better offensively with Dylan McCaffrey in there. I just hope they don't make the switch next week when the Irish go to the Big House. Keep Tippie-Toes Patterson in for at least one more week please.

Texas needs a last second field goal to win at home against...KANSAS?!?!

[gunnar hendershow]

I was really hoping the Jayhawks were gonna pull that off. Love me some Les Miles.

Watching the picks on College Gameday.  All of the hosts bundled up in the cold, and there’s guest picker Pat McAfee casually sitting there sleeveless.

We're all but certainly heading towards another year where the SEC gets 2.
