Baylor's punter is named "Issac Power"...

Hoping for rain so I can avoid the parade tonight.

Just invite the Daughters of the Confederacy to sponsor a float. Parade will be canceled.

 

[QChawks]

Dang was rooting for Baylor

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Hoping Byrce Perkins and Virginia can pull the upset.

For those who don't know, Bryce's dad is Bruce Perkins, who is from Waterloo.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Would that be the grandson of Don Perkins - Dallas Cowboys?

 

[DFSNOLE]

That was a tremendous game in the Big 12 championship. Not that it definitely would've altered the outcome, but that facemask penalty in OT was a killer

 

[runkpanole]

Well, it was nice to see Memphis take advantage of a mistake by Cincinnati.

 

[mnole03]

If LSU wins, we’re going to have three grad transfer QBs in the Playoff. The grad transfer rule sucks.

 

[DFSNOLE]

Got the PiP going with the Memphis game and the SEC Championship game. The volume is up for the AAC because I can't handle listening to Gary Danielson.

 

[TennNole17]

Memphis is fun to watch, on offense.

I think it sucks because we can’t get an oline good enough to convince one to come to Tallahassee that is worth it.

 

[SeaPA]

OL can transfer too. we need to pursue some, we sure as hell have playing time to offer

 

[SeaPA]

LSUs defense sucks. Dawgs have dropped three passes and Fromme has missed wide open guys two other times.

I really think either Clemson or OSU will score 60 points on them. Of course, it might take that many to beat them because their offense is excellent.

 

[The Tradition]

Great forced fumble by Memphis just now. Textbook.

More terrible ball protection when you're clearly going down...

Don't be a negative Nancy. Nobody likes Nancy.

 

[The Tradition]

Kiffin's owls are destroying UAB.

 

[mnole03]

Iowa’s kicker just got one step closer to winning the Groza.

 

[runkpanole]

 

[Fijimn]

LSU shows you it’s a QB game. And FSU hasn’t recruited one in 2 years.

 

[mnole03]

James Coley showing why he shouldn’t be allowed to run an offense.

And Fields while Smart watches...

 

[ConvenientParking]

Too bad they voted for Groza already.

Too bad they voted for Groza already.

The fan vote or the Commission vote?

 

[HawkeyeShawn]

Burrow is ridiculous.

Someone in Lounge made it sound like later was done yesterday. But I can't find anything on when that actually is or was.

 

[pink shizzle]

27-3 LSU. Game over.

 

[Lone Clone]

Burrow is ridiculous.

Typical Ames kid.

 

[strummingram]

The SEC game was boring AF.


I wonder how many SEC CH losses the UGA boosters will tolerate. Kirby Smart is going to be the Bud Grant/Marv Levy of the SEC.

You serious, Clark?

 

[DFSNOLE]

Neither defense in the ACC game is playing worth a crap.

 

[NoleinATL]

Wisconsin is giving the Buckeyes a fight.
Guess it doesnt matter though, as all the talking heads I heard today said OhSt would still be in with a loss and Wisconsin wouldn't jump Oklahoma

 

[DFSNOLE]

Clemson with 31 points at halftime. Neither LSU or OSU are looking forward to facing Sunshine.

 

[runkpanole]

Ohio State down 14. Could the Big 10 get shut out of the playoff?

Clemson is playing like they have a chip on their shoulders.

 

[NoleinATL]

LSU is a HUGE Wisky fan right now, OK would be a much better first rd opponent than Clempson

 

[DFSNOLE]

Ohio State down 14. Could the Big 10 get shut out of the playoff?

I don't see them dropping out of the top 4 with all the losses that happened at 4 and below.

 

[NoleinATL]

Love the call, that was great
