^1^Texas v. ^20^ oklahoma

It's 2:38 PM in Dallas and ou still sucks

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

RRS is always one of those "throw the records out" games. Neither team ever looks truly comfortable in Fair Park, but both of them are chock full of highly-recruited DFW kids trying to show each other up with a ton of friends and family there.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 2 months ago

The roar of "ou sucks" chants is music to my ears. They are sucking a little more than I anticipated

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago

Fumble into the end zone to recover for a touchdown! Exactly how we drew it up. Not stressed about nearly causing a touchback at all, nope

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

ou misses their field goal! The "yet to trail this season" streak lives on a little longer

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well, OU tried to give y'all chances, but Ewers looks really rusty.

What's wrong with Ewers. He missed 2 wide-open receivers for sure TDs. Are you sure his injury wasn't to his head?

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looks like he's trying to play too quickly and is missing reads (probably doesn't want to take too many hits). I had a hunch he would be like this, but more so that Sark's aggressive play calling is not doing him any favors -- I usually love that, but this actually ticks me off a lot that he doesn't dial it back in situations like this where he should be just trying to ease Ewers in.

LOlhio State University. What a way to lose the game.

I keep expecting Bama to play better defense, or to dominate lesser teams. Then it dawned on me. This isn't Saban's Bama. This team is just like DeBoer's Washington. Where every game is close. Where defense is leaky, and lets other teams get back into the game. There are few blow outs, even against weak teams. This is the new Bama. DeBoer's Bama.

SC QB can't count. Dude went for the TD 3x instead of the FG. That's an entirely winnable game he threw away, literally.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Man they almost had em. THAT woulda been a fun back to back leading into TSIO next week lol

[–] CMLVI@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am so disappointed in that lmao. Blue balled to death

The fall of Bama is amazing to watch

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

It's a different Bama. I think if you look at last year's Washington Huskies' season, then you have a better grasp of this year's Bama. They have enough talent to go to national championship. But because they never blow away teams they should, they will get ranked lower and lower, and get underestimated. Like last year's Washington team. Huskies were always ranked lower than their fans thought they should, even with better record. It wasn't until the final week or 2 the picture cleared, and they were in the final 4. Even then there were doubters, but their performance in the championship game showed they belonged.

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Absolute shit call. That was an interception for Oregon.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

I just can't believe Sooners let Gabriel go so they can start some guy who's on the bench now. what a bonehead mistake.

RRS is too stressful, so seeking brief reprieve in ^3^ Penn State at USC. This is a beautiful uniform combo.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I, uh, did not know that the C doesn't have to line up at center and can snap on the end of the line and be an eligible receiver. That was a beautiful TD by Penn State's center there

Tennessee successfully failed to lose. 🤣

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It was a back and forth hard fought effort, but ultimately it was the gators who came out on bottom

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I hate this game, I do not want this to go to extra time. Please just finish it

  1. Interception! LOL.

  2. Gotta give Heupel credit. After his playing days, he didn't do any Kingsbury/Reilly bullshit. No sir, with athletic fitness no longer a key requirement, the man went full fat-dad. I can appreciate that.

  3. Neither team wants to score any points. Jeezus.

How is that the play that goes our way lol

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Gotta stop grabbing the shoulder-numbers, pumpkins.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

BAH, there we go. I knew Lagway wouldn't go under center. He takes spikes and kneeldowns from shotgun.

Being in the gun is a disadvantage. Jet sweep against a fast team is dumb and why Billy is probably still going to get fired this year.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This game has got to be incredible to watch for anyone who hates the gators and the Vols

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

So... a certain percentage of Georgia fans, or a certain generation of Alabama fans? 🤣

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well fuck me

Neal Brown needs to fucking go. Dude is awful. 21 from the defense AND two 3 and outs coming from the half and you did fuck all with it. Neal is a sham.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Iowa is totally getting jobbed here. I know it's just 3 pts but that was not a field goal! I absolutely cannot believe the ref said it was good. Honestly he should be suspended

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago

Lol, and a few minutes later Iowa has a nearly identical borderline FG kind of negating UW's earlier one.

EXTEND YOUR FIELD GOAL POSTS, IOWA

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

That last drive of Bama was perfect play calling protecting Milroe. They took away decision-making from him by calling runs and short passing game where passes were essentially run plays. The TD pass was a simple read, throw there if guy is open, otherwise run or toss the ball away. Gamecocks were lulled into sleep with repeated run plays and blew their coverage, gave up a TD.

Every now and then Bevo demands blood

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 2 months ago

It is known. Georgia learned this the hard way when they tried to introduce Uga to Bevo in the 2019 Sugar Bowl

This BYU - AZ game is pretty competitive, but BYU is about to make it not so

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol @ Gus thinking BYU could kick a fg from their own 40

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 2 months ago

Now I'm wondering how high of elevation you would need to make it possible. Like, if Justin Tucker was on top of Mount Everest could it be done?
