  1. The closest college I applied to (go Hoosiers) was a 34 hour drive from my house. It felt to me like college is a time to define yourself as your own person, not a time to have parents dropping by unannounced or having your mom do your laundry. Everyone's choices vary.
  2. Watch Grid up - I also completely missed the mid-September Apple Cup because it's not even on TV, it's a Peacock game. https://www.jasonkirk.fyi/p/watch-grid-32-novelty-junk-foods
  3. This. I don't know why anyone uses anything else for traditional TV.
  4. Will it be Houston, Edmonds, or someone else in 2027? https://www.on3.com/db/peyton-houston-154854/
  5. Some random streaks could be broken this week:
  6. They aren't even in the same tier of football or region of the state, they'll almost never come up in conversation together. And TXST isn't an acronym, it's just a sad jumble of letters.
  7. TXST - I guess not to steal Texas Southern / Tarleton State's thunder? It's dumb.
  8. And while BC is the center of the cfb world (sort of)
  9. Out of how many times? Its not like weve been consistently outperforming OU in recent memory.
  10. Just a reminder that Red River is the most volatile rivalry in college football. The underdog does better in Dallas than in any other one, and by a huge amount.
  11. Shit, I totally read right past the Memphis - FSU game on the list. That's worth adding 100%.
  12. Time for a lovely three game sweep against what should be badly overmatched opponents before our bye and the big difficulty spike. Time to enjoy the college football landscape from the top. Even if there's only two ranked-vs-ranked games (and they involve BC and Arizona, so not exactly blueblood battles), it's still college football. And who knows who this week's NIU could be? Thursday game Arizona State @ Texas State - 7:30 / 6:30 ESPN This game is shockingly more than a co-ed must watch, and has turned into a really cool football game. ASU feels like they're a Big 12 contender after dusting Wyoming and Mississippi State. GJ Kinne has TSU (I refuse to use their stupid preferred acronym) looking at an outside shot for the G5 Playoff bid. Friday games The Big 12 delivers up some fun football again! It's a Sunflower State double feature. UNLV @ Kansas - 7 / 6 ESPN The Runnin' Rebs have already taken one Big 12 scalp, but beating a wounded Lance Leipold team at home is a much trickier proposition #20 Arizona @ #14 Kansas State - 8 / 7 Fox One of our two marquee matchups is a lame duck "non-conference" matchup between two Big 12 rivals. Noah Fifita and Tetairoa Mcmillan bring star power, but KSU is probably the better team. Saturday games #24 Boston College @ #6 Mizzou - 12:30 / 11:30 SECN Is this actually the best game in this timeslot? No. It's on SECN for crying out loud. But it's the only ranked matchup of the whole Saturday, so let's give those Jesuit boys their flowers before Mizzou punches BOB back to the football junkyard. Memphis @ Florida State - 12 / 11 ESPN Rankings be damned, Memphis is probably the best G5. Florida State blows. This one could get very funny, very fast if DJU can't unfuck himself and the rest of the team continues to come together as well as a mint chip and liverwurst sundae. LSU @ South Carolina - 12 / 11 ABC Does LSU suck for real, or was this just Brian Kelly pulling out one of his usual first game disappearing acts before winning 10 games? South Carolina's defense looks for real, but LaNorris Sellers is much more athlete than QB. #4 Alabama @ Wisconsin - 12 / 11 FOX Another case of "that bad, or just not their night?" gets resolved with Bama. The problem is, the Luke Fickell express hasn't exactly taken off down the tracks in Madison, so will we really learn that much? - #9 Oregon @ Oregon State - 3:30 / 2:30 FOX Civil War! Oregon has played footsie with losing to two teams from Idaho before figuring their shit out late. Oregon State's lost their coach and a lot of their talent from last year (thanks for Silas Bolden, guys), but they're competent, and they're fucking pissed. Reser Stadium will be electric if UO can't find a way to silence the crowd early. West Virginia @ Pitt - 3:30 / 2:30 ESPN2 Backyard Brawl! For real this time! These teams aren't good but this rivalry kicks ass. Texas A&M @ Florida - 3:30 / 2:30 ABC Stoppable force, meet moveable object. Can Napier overcome the severe brain injury he seems to have been dealing with during his whole time at Florida and start DJ Lagway and beat a badly limited A&M squad? Loser's season starts to tank very hard here. Tulane @ #15 Oklahoma - 3:30 / 2:30 ESPN Last week's Tulane performance beats this very wobbly OU squad. But can they do it away from home the week after after the officials stole a ranked win out of their hands? Notre Dame @ Purdue - 3:30 / 2:30 CBS Can Marcus Freeman bounce back from another excruciating performance against a bad (well, now ranked) opponent? He's actually pretty good at that, so we'll see. - The late games are ...not so good. At least a Texas blowout will be fun. #5 Ole Miss @ Wake Forest - 6:30 / 5:30 CW Look, this game was going to be a blowout even before Wake blew a monster lead against UVA last week. But I am attending it in person, so it gets mentioned. Also, weird timeslot and on the CW - it has some chaos game potential. UTSA @ #2 Texas - 7 / 6 ESPN Typing "#2 Texas" was so satisfying. UTSA is terrible, Texas is good, this one's going to be a mudholing. Colorado @ Colorado State - 7:30 / 6:30 CBS CSU isn't great (and Tory Horton might be dinged up), but hoo boy does Jay Norvell HATE Colorado. If it stays close, keep it in the rotation. Air Force @ Baylor - 7:30 / 6:30 FS1 Because we all want to see America triumph over evil San Diego State @ Cal - 10:30 / 9:30 ACC After Dark! Cal is in prime position for a letdown game against a good G5 after ruining Hugh Freeze's whole season on the Plains.
  13. You mean like to answer a question like "does Willis HS have any players with an FBS offer?"
