2019 College Football Thread

A whole lot closer than I expected. Georgia left the door open all night for ND.

That crowd was magical tonight though, no?

Very big part of what makes college football so great.

And Georgia left the door open, but ND also shot themselves in the foot countless times turning 2nd-and-3's into 2-and-8's and 3rd-and-five's into 3rd-and-tens. If we clean up half of those penalties, we could have won tonight.

Or if we didn't try to use little ass Chris Finke as a blocking receiver against that buff ass secondary. I'm fine with Finke being in in against the lesser opponents, but we need our bigger athletes in against Georgia, not a 5'9" 170 pound receiver trying to block a safety that weighs 50 pounds more than him. That's the kind of schematic stuff that drives me nuts. He's too slow to make an impact receiving (oh, and both interceptions were passes to him) and he's not big enough to do anything other than get bulldozed as a blocker. It's a sweet story, the whole walk-on to senior Captain, but there has to be a time and place for playing the sentimental favorites and putting in your top tier athletes and it's when you're playing other top tier athletes. Frustrating.

This UCLA/Wazzu game is bad for my heart and great for my fantasy team.

The Cougs unis look nice, though.

Edit: hahahahahah I was like 'you can't start both Kelley and Felton!'.

WHERE THE FUCK DID THIS UCLA TEAM COME FROM AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO KEEP THEM?

[Meacon Keaton]

More like Big-12 after dark. Over/under of a 100.

More like 115. We're at 101 right now 

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, I read the clock as 3-minutes left not 13-minutes. 

[DMN in the House]

WTF.

[Meacon Keaton]

Bwahahaha this game is fucking chaos. 

[DMN in the House]

9 touchdown passes and you're in a three point game with six minutes left.

[Meacon Keaton]

So at this point it's safe to assume that both teams agreed not to tackle the others to keep their neat uniforms clean, yes?

It's that or Big10 basketball season came early.

[DMN in the House]

Holy shit this fucking game.

Great fucking play design, too.

[Meacon Keaton]

Earlier in the Pac-12 day we got Oregon 21 Stanford 6. For those of us wild enough to stay up late, we get 67-63 in regulation. 

There's also 1:07 left, so I'm fully expecting somebody to score again.

BALLGAME

Welp, there's the turnover. No need to score. Great (?) win for UCLA. It's their first win and it's against a Top-25 team, so yes, it is a great win.

We might not suck!

@DMN your boys screwed me!  I needed a fill in defense in Fantasy and I picked Washington St.

That's funny, because I had three dudes playing in the game, and you were on track to beat me before things went crazy.

[Lowerdeck]

I picked Wazzu on -19.5, and figured it was in the bag when I went to bed at 49-17

[ThrillhouseMAX]

Wow, I watched the UCLA game highlights at work. Holy shit, what a game. I can't imagine throwing 9 touchdowns and still losing.
