  1. Holy shit holy shit holy shit
  2. He's about to make himself a lot of money
  3. linux might be the most autistic poster on this board, and that is really saying something
  4. I don't gamble, so I just went with the first site I found: https://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/42736419/2024-college-football-conference-championship-games-betting-odds-lines
  5. It's Championship Week! And once again we're in it to win it, with a Playoff bye on the line. Tons of good games all around, should be an excellent weekend of football. CFP rankings, lines are from ESPN since Circa didn't have an easy graphic this time around. Friday games Conference USA Championship - Western Kentucky vs. Jacksonville State (-1.5) 7 / 6 CBSSN - Burgess - Snow Field at AmFirst Stadium, Jacksonville, Alabama RichRod hosts the Hilltoppers to win the conference we know and love from the football-adjacent product we half-watch on our grimmest Tuesday evenings. American Athletic Conference Championship - Tulane (-3.5) vs. #24 Army 8 / 7 ABC - Michie Stadium, West Point, New York This is going to be a great looking game of football. Great uniforms, beautiful campus, beautiful stadium, the cadets in in the stands. Just perfect. Fun clash of playing styles as well. Mountain West Conference Championship - #20 UNLV vs. #10 Boise State (-4.5) 8 / 7 Fox - Albertsons Stadium, Boise, Idaho It's a win-and-you're-in battle in Boise. Barry Odom's Rebels didn't miss a beat after their QB and RB threw an early-season NIL hissy fit, while Ashton Jeanty is a bad, bad man for the Broncos. He started his high school career in Naples, Italy - some poor Italian teenagers still probably have PTSD. Saturday games Big XII Championship - #16 Iowa State vs. #15 Arizona State (-1.5) 12 / 11 ABC - AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas Arizona State has been the surprise package of college football, coming out of nowhere to be the Big XII favorite. Cam Skattebo is an angry human cube. Meanwhile, Matt Campbell finally got the 'clones over the 10 win hump (leaving Vandy as the only P5 team never to achieve it), but can he finally win the big one? Mid-American Conference Championship - Miami (OH) (-1.5) vs. Ohio 12 / 11 ESPN - Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan In a conference known for gritty Midwesternness, it's Ohio's two country club party schools that will battle in Motown. The bar scene should be a good one. Southeastern Conference Championship - #5 Georgia vs. #2 Texas (pick 'em) 4 / 3 ABC - Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia Georgia convincingly beat Texas in Austin in pretty much their only complete performance of the year (Carson Beck tossing out free INTs aside). Beck has improved, the defense has backslid. Meanwhile, Texas brushed aside the rest of its "SEC gauntlet" and gave OU and our two little brothers a noogie on the way in. Still, this is essentially a Dawg home game. Should be a good one! Sun Belt Championship - Marshall vs. Louisiana - Lafayette (-4) 7:30 / 6:30 ESPN - Cajun Field, Lafayette, Louisiana Fun Belt time! The tailgate that will unquestionably have the best food of the weekend features about as stark of a cultural difference as it comes. Acadiana hosts a school from where the Midwest meets the Appalachians. It's Thundering Herd vs. Ragin' Cajuns! Atlantic Coast Conference Championship - #17 Clemson (-2) vs. #8 Southern Methodist 8 / 7 ABC - Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina SMU should be in as long as they aren't blown out (as Rhett Lashlee said, if they all pretended to get COVID, they'd be in), and their program trajectory is pointed straight up. Clemson needs this one to get in, and their recruiting class of 15 players and general disdain for the Portal isn't getting it done for next season and beyond. It's the past against the future of college football! Big Ten Championship - #3 Penn State vs. #1 Oregon (-3) 8 / 7 Fox - Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana The biggest game of the day. Can Oregon flash and financial firepower finish blowing the doors off the staid old Big Ten in their first season? Or will James Franklin finally win a big game at Penn State? I know who my money would be on.
  6. OU cleared out some dead weight in the RB room - Emeka Megwa and Kalib Hicks hit the portal
  7. https://www.on3.com/db/naeem-burroughs-157245/
  8. He's saying the OU medical staff are clowns who mismanaged his injuries.
  9. Best case, it turns into Katy Perry's iconic Ole Miss picking slot where she brought so much weird off-the-wall energy and earnest enthusiasm that she's now a Rebel icon (helps that they beat Bama and she escaped her handlers to bar crawl around Oxford with the goal posts).
  10. There is so much going on in this Tweet
  11. Dude went out and played a football game the day his sister died. Damn.
  12. Looks like every 30-something football coach, not exactly a unique look
  13. As someone who jumped up a lot of professional levels over the past four years, a 30 year old discovering their ability to lead from COVID on isn't weird. That said, Wazzu fans seem pretty ok with him leaving.
  14. Christ, at least cocaine is actually fun.
  15. We got a lot of OL Flood identified early - it's a "put up or shut up" class for him. DL we bought a great class - Baker needs to develop and keep them on board.
  16. Cutcliffe let the program rot for so long as he retired while still cashing paychecks, I'll give Elko credit for doing a lot of behind the scenes work with boosters/admin/etc to get the program back to above-averageness. Duke fans appreciate that even as they despise the two-faced way he left in the middle of the night. But there's a lot of B/B+ guys who work hard in the world - does he have that extra edge the great leaders have? Doubt it.
  17. Eli Morcos is taking you to the promised land
  18. You are on a board where 95% of the people type "aggy" instead of "Aggie / A&M"
