College Football 2023

At least Busch has the hoops program.

I’ll always have turning UConn into a 6-star program in NCAA 2010.  Was fun to download a roster for that game and see my high school class president was included on the UConn roster.

Miami had legit one of the worst losses ever.

40 seconds left, no timeouts left for Georgia Tech.  Rather than simply line up in the victory formation and kneel out the clock, Miami call a running play.  RB fumbles.  Georgia Tech to on to win with 1 second left.

If I’m the AD I’m firing everyone today.

The thing is, that's not the first time Cristobal has done that to cost a team he's coached the game. No idea what goes into that decision-making when you just need to kneel down.

And, people are back to hyping Colorado. They may have won, but they barely beat a 1-win team, so big freaking deal. I want their next loss to be either a shutout or a stomping.

At your age you should understand how media works enough not to be this bothered by it.

UCLA actually plays defense now?

[Meacon Keaton]

We made Caleb Williams look like the over-rated punk that he is. He didn't even go out and take the snaps the last three minutes of the game.  

@DMN in the HouseWe did our part of pissing on Caleb's quest to match Archie, buddy. You boys do it next month.

Barring injury, it's Penix's Heisman.

The bother is that groups and sites dedicated to other conferences are even posting stuff about Colorado. Otherwise, I wouldn't care. I don't read Saturday Down South, a site about the SEC, to read about a overhyped Pac-12 team I don't care about that doesn't at least have an SEC opponent on their schedule to somewhat justify it. There are also at least two SEC groups on Facebook that have posted articles about Colorado, AND a Vols specific one. That doesn't happen with other non-SEC teams. If I didn't have to hear or read about the Buffaloes just about every time I want to watch or read about College Football, it would not be an issue.

A lot of people do care because a player as great and famous as Deion Sanders has basically never coached a D1 school. It's a big curiosity for a ton of people. You can just pop in a filter to mute the word "Colorado" on a lot of sites if it gets to be too much.

Man, I really want to argue with this, but I think it might be right

On another note, ironically considering the previous conversations we've had about Caleb Williams, there's a report out now that he's rumored to want part ownership in whatever team drafts him.

[Meacon Keaton]

Watch him end up in Denver and I'll just officially never watch the NFL ever again.

Meacon gunning for that EWB’s Most Crotchety Old Man crown!

How close is it to being mine? I'm not willing to wish injuries on people, but I could be swayed by pretty much anything else to get the gold.

I think you get it once you refuse to watch any sports besides golf and replays of Notre Dame football from the 80s.

[Lineker]

Golf isn't a sport.

Also chewing people's ears off about how baseball players were simply better "back in my day".

Michigan is being charged with allegedly sending people to not only conference rivals but also potential playoff rivals to try and steal offensive and defensive play calling signs to be better prepped and aware of what is to come.
