That was one of the worst football games I’ve ever seen. And I’ve been a GT fan for 30+ years.

He was all Billy badass when they knocked the shit out of him on the sideline.  Jumping up, stepping over defender, pumping his chest.  Boy, did things go poorly for him to just not even try on the last play down 7 points.  Whadda bitch. 

The best part was that he did this after he was still one yard short of the first down.  He acted like he had just scored a last-second, game winning TD.

UAB @ WKU tonight looks like it could be a good game. The teams are tied for 2nd place in CUSA at 2-1. (Along with FAU). I haven’t seen UAB play yet this year but it’s great they’re back playing football again. WKU took Indiana to OT before losing 33-30. (Sure, IU sucks but they were supposed to win that game and almost didn’t. They gave Michigan a run for their money a few weeks later.) Plus the game will be played on the red turf (which isn’t exactly a reason to tune in but there it is.)

8 PM ET CBSSN
WKU -1.5
O/U 60.5

Better than October NBA, October NHL, and I don’t care about baseball.

Princeton is undefeated man. So that’s cool. And they stole the Bengals unis so that’s also interesting. Go Princeton! School those Harvard fucks!

Pick 6 for Temple vs Tulsa on the deuce...  7-0 Owls early 1q. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16295]

1 of every 31 students at Tulsa is on the football team, that’s fucked up.

Wasn’t it WKU who had the red turf? This game is on grass. I must’ve been thinking of someone else.

Just googled it. It’s Eastern Washington. I knew it was a directional school. I thought it was on this side of the country. My mistake.

UAB leads 7-0 near the end of the 1st. 

[WhatTheBuck 28941]

After recovering a fumble late in the first, WKU scores on a QB keeper less than a minute into the 2nd to tie it at 7-7.

[WhatTheBuck 28941]

UAB retakes the lead 10-7 on a possession that had only two plays for positive yes. One was on 3rd and 10 when a defender left his gap and the RB rushed for 70+ yds to make it 1st and goal. They traded a false start and a 5 yd rush, one incompletion and a sack and settled for 3. The UAB starting QB got hurt in the 1sr and the backup is in. 

[WhatTheBuck 28941]

Fumble! WKU gives the ball back. That’s not good. 

[WhatTheBuck 28941]

TD Blazers to take a 17-7 lead. Their last 1st down came on one of the dumber offside penalties I’ve seen. The WKU CB comes up to the line showing blitz. The QB turns his head to look at him and, while looking at him, claps his hand and the guy leaps across the line. 

[ClubWhatever 12324]

This Tulsa Temple game is brutally awful.  What am I doing?  Help me, lifestyle coach guy. 

[WhatTheBuck 28941]

UAB leads 17-10 at the half.

After getting a stop, WKY took over with 7:00+ left and moved the ball efficiently down the field to the UAB 18. On 1st down they threw the ball inside the 5 where it was topped and apparently intercepted. That got overturned. Then on 2nd down a false start moved them back 5. Then they threw another dangerous pass that almost got picked off but fell incomplete. Then on 3rd down a facemask penalty moved them back 15. So they ran for a few yards up the middle and kicked the FG. WKU has committed some stupid penalties at really inopportune times but they’re still in the game.

Also, former Buckeye safety Donte Whitner is doing color commentary. I didn’t know he’d gotten into broadcasting. He mentioned something that his DB coach Mel Tucker taught him when he was in school. He’s doing a good job. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16295]

Fucking Ks. 

[ClubWhatever 12324]

I watched this game to see what a Stan Drayton coached team looks like.  Dumpster fire is too organized to describe it.  Monkeys, footballs, humping etc.  

[WhatTheBuck 28941]

WKU takes a 20-17 lead. They got a stop to open the half then drove methodically down the field, mostly on the ground, including one 4th down conversion. Then on a 2nd or 3rd down the QB had all the time in the world in the pocket. No one came close. He wound up throwing to his outlet guy for a loss of a few he’s. There was a hole I front of him you could drive a semi through and lots of open grass in front of him. He could’ve run it almost to the goal. They settled for 3.

Then they recovered a UAB fumble and returned it inside the 10. Two plays later they scored on the QB sneak.

This has been a pretty decent game. I’ll bet it will come down to the wire as the oddsmakers predicted.

[ClubWhatever 12324]

Although Temple is the worst FBS team I have seen this year, there is apparently a worse one - UMass, which was shut out 28-0 by Temple, and was somehow seen fit to be scheduled by…Texas A&M.   Holy.  Shit. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16295]

Nice play there, Temple cuts it to 7 with 6 left. 

Edited October 22, 2022 by shadow_operative2.0
Nope, went for 2, down 8.

[shadow_operative2.0 16295]

Tulsa will survive. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16295]

Goddamn, that was a horrific throw by UAB. 

[ClubWhatever 12324]

The field goal is good good good good good.  Is this thing on?

[WhatTheBuck 28941]

Well, WKU holds on for the 20-17 win. They were playing  conservatively, mostly running the ball, and punted it away a couple of times. It looked like it might  backfire when UAB drove down the field with a couple of big gainers by McBride. Then, down 3 and in FG goal range they got greedy and threw to the end zone where it got picked off. Probably not the best throw to ask your backup QB to make. Maybe he didn’t see the black clad defender in the black end zone. (It was a blackout game.) With still something like 5:50 left, the UAB run D looked pretty frazzled and WKU was able to keep it on the ground and run out the clock.

After tomorrow WKU will be tied for 2nd place in CUSA with the loser of the UTSA-North Texas game.

Pretty much that way at all the D3 schools out there too

My D3 college had 1000 students. So the ratio would have been even smaller if there were 60 players. Of course most of those dudes are now doctors, lawyers, business execs. Certainly weren’t D1 players.

Go home, Urban. You’re drunk.

Curious to see how the Syracuse v Clemson game shakes out. Clemson is not a CFP team but I still would love to see Syracuse take them out. 
 

Love to see Miss St stick another fork in Bama as well. Neither thing will probably happen but they both still could and that’s why I love college football.

Iowa wins the toss elects to receive, and throws a pick on the first play.

tOSU just kicked a fg.  That should be all they need against Iowa.

The kid with 64% completion percentage, 21 total TDs and a 153 qb rating? I don't disagree that Clemson can be taken down, but it won't be because of the stud at QB

Boring yes, but I heard the play by play announcer say the following about Kansas in the Kansas-Baylor game.  I was half listening and had to rewind to make sure I heard what I heard:

“Window dressing and eye candy, it’s like a field trip to Amsterdam.”

I did a Mark Cuban meme when I heard it.

Iowa has already scored 7 points…which is kinda exciting for their fan base. 
 

syracuse has a pretty decent defense so far. They are ball hawks. 

[WhatTheBuck 28941]

LOL at the Iowa punter thinking he could pick up the 1st down.

Kansas fighting statistics at this point... That and teams with a pulse.

One way to keep your coach from leaving I guess.
