2017 College Football Thread

Tubby Raymond died.

Delaware’s greatest contribution to college football. Rest easy, Coach. 

[Lineker]

Managed to persuade CBS to route out the clean HD feed of Army @ Navy to us 

[Lowerdeck]

Has there been a pass in this game?

[Meacon Keaton]

Navy and Army don’t even pass when it’s 75 and sunny. Let alone freezing and snowy.

[Lineker]

Wide!

So true, all three military schools think it’s 1930 still.

[The Buscher]

Offensive linemen at the military schools are undersized compared to typical college football linemen because there are weight and conditioning requirements all military members must adhere to.  Hence, pass blocking is impractical.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Oh also Chad Morris of SMU is the new Razorbacks head coach. Who cares.

Not that I'm bitter. >_>

Also the triple option offense bridges the gap between top athletes and decent athletes. You don’t need four and five star kids to run a dominating option offense, which is good because the military schools aren’t getting anything higher than three star kids and even those are far and few between. It makes what those schools do even that more impressive. Discipline and attention to detail goes further in college football than almost any other sport.

Good ol'EWB.  I was jsut coming in here to ask why it seems like the military academys never seem to pass the ball.

"The Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl is brought to you by Lockheed Martin."

YOU DON'T SAY???

[Meacon Keaton]

Christian Kirk is making a damn good case to be the first receiver drafted.

It’s really fun when you go to dinner across the street from AT&T Stadium after forgetting the Cotton Bowl was tonight

Amazing to think that I was in the military and hadn’t considered that. Jesus. Excellent point though.

@The Chiksrara Special was it you asking about the benefits of bowl games? Here’s a link showing what each player gets for going to each bowl game.

If I’ve already posted this, forgive me, I’m getting over a wicked bout with the flu.

It was me and now I wish I was playing in the Fiesta or Alamo bowls  I've only gotten to watch pieces of games but they have mostly been good. I want to make a good effort to watch the Championship games coming up though. Any other good ones still to go?

[Meacon Keaton]

The one on now, Fiesta Bowl with Washington and Penn State should be good. And tonight is the Orange Bowl with Wisconsin and Miami. 

Monday has an awesome line up with (hello homer bias) Notre Dame/LSU at 1:30 in the Citrus, Georgia/Oklahoma at 5 in the Rose, and then Alabama/Clemson at 8:30 in the Sugar.

It’ll be a glorious, glorious day.

[Meacon Keaton]

I like to believe that Tim Tebow really does go for test drives in his old college jersey.

[gunnar hendershow]

Taking the parents to see Star Wars tomorrow from 1:30-4:30. Nope, no siree, I definitely did not pick the time that would get me home just at the perfect time for Oklahoma/Georgia. Nope.

Also, Big Ten has had a great bowl season. I know that conference bowl records don't actually matter unless you have a ton of head-to-head to judge on (i.e. 4 or 5 Big Ten vs SEC bowls or something) but this is helping the case that Ohio State got the shaft this year.

[Meacon Keaton]

You don’t get shafted when you get beat 55-24 by a 7-5 team.
