  1. Western Kentucky going with what I believe are throwback helmets for Homecoming
  2. My Ole Miss fan brother sent me the Hayes Fawcett version with "this edit is an atrocity, but huge news" so it's nice to know good taste runs in the family
  3. Boise State @ SJSU might be a little more fun than I was giving it credit for
  4. It's objectively less good than playing the backup, obviously, but it's been so long since we've seen the signature satyanash frightened tone that this post takes me back to a nostalgic place.
  5. Collins is the closest, but even then he's been more "above average" than "lights out." The award is probably dormant this year, honestly.
  6. Peyton Thorne is a bad dropback passer with very little run threat, aka the aggy defense's dream opponent. A&M is going to win.
  7. Weather the Miami OV and grab Wiley and we'll be just fine
  8. Elite offer https://www.on3.com/db/dayjon-moore-180284/
  9. A&M is tied for first place in the SEC and Georgia, Bama, and Ole Miss are ahead of them. That's just a feature of big conferences.
  10. That and USC being stuck in a loveless marriage with Riley for another year or two.
  11. 3 + 6 means you'll get plenty of churn in the six other games
  12. Denver Harris is at UTSA. I doubt that's what Johntay had in mind when he hit the Portal.
  13. I fundamentally don't understand this: "Oh no this program and its fans hate us, lets not play them" mindset. It's pussy shit, rivalries are fun, and they're way more fun when you win most of the time like we do against A&M and Arkansas. Bask in the schadenfreude and watch them seethe and suffer. If you want bland corporate football product against interchangable opponents, go watch the NFL.
  14. I'll speak up for Indiana - it's one of the most surprisingly gorgeous college campuses I've ever been to, and it has a fun upbeat student body. I think the grim winter weather really sucks a lot of the pageantry and all day party atmosphere out of late season B1G matchups, despite the occasional fun shot of hammered Minny or Wisco fans enjoying the snow. Plus with the general shift of population to the Sun Belt, there aren't really enough recruits for all of the heartland schools to be good at once, so whichever teams are in their downswing are fucking awful (hello Purdue and Northwestern). As for the Pac-12 teams joining... well that's just sad. No one wanted that except university CFOs.
