  1. The backup is a walk-on transfer from Yale who wanted to be closer to home. He's not frightening.
  2. Massive week: Tuesday changes the face of America as MACtion returns, and the big news carries on through the week as Texas Football comes back as well. Tuesday games: Bowling Green (-11.5) @ Central Michigan (7:30/6:30 ESPN2): The world's eyes are on Michigan Tuesday night. Specifically on the town of Mount Pleasant. BGSU is second, but have to travel to the Chippewas. Miami (OH) (-12.5) @ Ball State (8/7 ESPN): The Redhawks are vying with Bowling Green for a conference championship slot. Fun road doubleheader. Wednesday games: Northern Illinois @ Western Michigan (-1) (8/7 ESPN2): WMU is undefeated in the MAC. Northern Illinois beat Notre Dame. About as good as MACtion gets. Ohio (-20) @ Kent State (8/7 ESPNU): Kent State is the worst team in the FBS - they even lost to something called St. Francis of Pennsylvania. This game's a dog. Thursday games: Appalachian State @ Coastal Carolina (pick 'em) (8/7 ESPN): Fun Belt action! Two excellent party schools in great locations. Two mediocre-to-bad football teams. Florida Atlantic @ East Carolina (-8.5) (8/7 ESPN2): ECU already fired their coach. Tom Herman might be joining him in the pink slip brigade if he and his team keep embarrassing themselves on the field. Can he keep his cool at Rowdy Dowdy-Ficklen? Friday games: California (-7) @ Wake Forest (8/7 ACCN): Two beautiful schools you'd be happy to see your kids end up at. The football teams are ok. Can the Golden Bears finally win an ACC game? Iowa (-5.5) @ UCLA (9/8 Fox): Previously shambolic UCLA denied Nebraska bowl eligibility in Lincoln in a masterpiece of absurdist comedy. Can they pull off another upset at home in Westwood? Rice @ Memphis (-10.5) (9/8 ESPN2): Can Rice get a fired-coach bounce? Probably not. New Mexico State @ San Diego State (-3) (10:30/9:30 FS1): Pure Sickos content and time slot. Saturday games: Florida @ #5 Texas (-22) (12/11 ABC): Florida is down to a third-string transfer QB from Yale after a brutal rivalry game loss, and mostly sucked before that. Texas is at home coming off a bye to heal up and shake off two wobbly performances. This should be a pleasant warm up for the trip to Fayettenam. #4 Miami (-11.5) @ Georgia Tech (12/11 ESPN): Can someone finally punch a hole in the paper Hurricanes? The Yellow Jackets in ATL are as good of a candidate to do it as anyone. West Virginia @ Cincinnati (-4) (12/11 FS1): Both coaches started the season on the hot seat. Both teams have winning records in the conference but haven't looked at all convincing. Both fanbases might be quietly happy with a bad loss. The Boilermakers are probably far too bad to trouble Ohio State at all, but keep an Upset Watch eye on the scorebug (Purdue @ Ohio State (-36) 12/11 Fox). - #2 Georgia (-3) @ #16 Ole Miss (3:30/2:30 ABC): A battle of two Jekyll and Hyde teams in the Grove. Which version of each team shows up determines who wins the game. Michigan @ #8 Indiana (-13) (3:30/2:30 CBS): Indiana is very fucking good by every metric. Will we get 10-windiana in game number ten? #19 Clemson (-7) @ Virginia Tech (3:30/2:30 ESPN): The Tigers need to wake up quickly after getting beat by Louisville to stay in ACC Championship and Playoff contention. Big Noon Saturday heads to Lubbock after Tech's big win over Iowa State to see Deion come to town (#21 Colorado (-2) @ Texas Tech 4/3 Fox) and two of the feistiest teams in the SEC square off in Nashville (South Carolina (-2.5) @ #24 Vanderbilt 4:15/3:15 SECN). - #11 Alabama (-3) @ #14 LSU (7:30/6:30 ABC): Gameday heads to Baton Rouge to watch two wounded titans play with Playoff contention on the line. If you're a Texas fan, you should be pulling for Bama here. Florida State @ #10 Notre Dame (-25) (7:30/6:30 NBC): Notre Dame has lost to a terrible team at home once this year. Can they trip over their own feet again? Washington @ #6 Penn State (-12.5) (8/7 Peacock): Fuck Peacock for this - no one wants to navigate in and out of a separate app to watch a game. #9 BYU (-4) @ Utah (10:15/9:15 ESPN): HOLY WAR. One of the most poisonous, ill-tempered rivalries in college football, made even spicier by Utah having a shot to piss all over the Coogs' perfect season. Utah State @ #20 Washington State (-20) (10:30/9:30 CW): The last game of the night is a great time to catch a really good Wazzu team, one of the biggest casualties of realignment. Upset Watch eyes will be on Maryland @ #1 Oregon (-27) (7/6 BTN) and Mississippi State @ #7 Tennessee (-24) (7/6 ESPN), but with minimal real expectations. Especially in Knoxville, given that Miss State recruits are decommiting mid-game these days. Nevada @ #12 Boise State (-25) (8/7 Fox) is another opportunity to watch the Ashton Jeanty Show.
  3. I mean, yeah, it's Facebook, it's just a garbage chute at this point.
  4. He mixed in a salad at the training table for two entire meals.
  5. In those words? Absolutely worthless "journalism" there, woof.
  6. A&M shitting the bed against SoCar has to have dented their momentum with Hilson. Hopefully Wiley enjoys his visit, we need an LB.
  7. What was that I said about the trappiest of trap games? A&M saw the giant, undisguised trapdoor and jumped right on it.
  8. OU usually does an alternate every season as well, though it's usually pretty restrained.
  9. True enough, although it already had its own government and was in the middle of a ten year "transition to independence" plan, so it doesn't generally fully get counted.
  10. The Wind Rises is a sweet, but somewhat whitewash-y film about the creation of the Zero if you're into Studio Ghibli's stuff. Definitely not their best work, but nice all the same. On the topic at hand. looks like if UF somehow upsets UGA (lol not going to happen) we still won't pick much up the week after, but we would get Austin back.
  11. It's still US territory. For example if Venezuela invades Puerto Rico tomorrow, they would be invading the US.
  12. I don't think they're reading Surly Horns.
  13. Ballgame! And Salter's been a mouthy dick all game considering how bad he's played.
  14. Michael Dickson thinks that was an impressive punt. Nice work, Gamecocks.

  16. Good lord Liberty, what a shitshow
  17. Bahahaha MACtion returns on Election Night
  18. Looooong TD for WKU after they convert a ballsy 4th down.
  19. TD JSU, they're gashing Liberty on the ground
