  1. Lol, the AFLAC trivia question adds insult to injury after UF goes up 10
  2. I know the timing wouldn’t work out, but this would have been the best ad of the last several Super Bowls
  3. I didn’t find “It Follows” to be light or humorous at all, but it is a top notch horror movie. These come to mind for this category:
  4. Tennessee is completely playing with house money in this game. Barring significant injury, they should be double digit favorites the rest of the way. An 11-win regular season in the coach’s 2nd year, with a possible playoff appearance.
  5. Scipio tells the story (I forget to whom he attributed it) that after firing Akers in 1986, Texas was in serious talks with John Cooper at Arizona State. They got down to time to make the offer, Cooper was very interested, and they slid the amount written on a piece of paper across the table to him. Cooper looks at the piece of paper and says “this is what my offensive coordinator makes.” And that’s how they ended up with David McWilliams.
  6. People are going to start paying the $8/month for November and December every year just to get that blue check mark and troll opposing fan bases on “breaking” coaching hires.
  7. There’s something about the pattern of losing over the last two seasons that has led to my fatalism about this team. Watching them show that they are clearly the more talented team and getting first half leads on just about everyone, only to have the other team make halftime adjustments and slowly but surely catch-up and pass us at the end over and over has taken its toll. We’ve definitely made improvements since last year (run defense, closing out games at home, and of course the Red River Shutout), but the Tech and OSU losses have really had an out-sized impact on my view of the season. 8-4 was always my goal for this season, and it is still attainable, but 7-5 seems a lot more likely and 6-6 a real possibility. A win Saturday night would go a long way towards improving my outlook because it would show we have taken that next step of beating a good team on the road.
  8. I’d like to apologize to Bryan Harsin and his family for any role I may have played in speaking his firing into existence. Now we just need K-State to play like shit on Saturday night to get our season back on track.
  9. Auburn needs to go ahead and fire Harsin so they can rally around the interim coach in time for the ATM game.
  10. Madness, just pure madness. This is why I don’t bet. These computer models that have had us in the top 5 or 10 despite all evidence to the contrary on the field are fucked in the head.
  11. Tyler Scott seems like a legit late riser. Tennessee offered a month ago and he was at their big win over Bama, apparently leading to a Fong CB two weeks ago. Also went to Bama for their game against A&M.
  12. I think I know who Carolina should call for a tryout this week:
  13. Pick ‘em. I don’t understand that at all
  14. Maybe KSU is scoring all their points this week
  15. This Miami - UVA box score is something else. It makes the TCU - Cal Cheezit Bowl game look like a shoot out.
  16. VT looks like a different team than they have all year in the third quarter.
