Then you really aren't gonna like the photo I post tomorrow...


Yeah Iowa dropped the ball bigtime. They should have won (and, in fact, the refs had a bad call at the end that gave Iowa State the win, but what are you going to do?). My wife said, "You okay?" My response.: Uh...yeah. Why wouldn't I be? It's a football game, not anything important.
 
lol that was a crazy ending. I still don't think Colorado is good, but that win is gonna keep the hype going a few extra weeks.

Fuck Sanders and his nepotistic, big-mouthed ass. And I don't even hate Colorado. Frankly, I wish that the call had been reversed and that it would have been a touchdown. Colorado would have had to forfeit since the students tore down the goal posts while the game was still going on.
 
Buffs doing so much better than expected that my teen is starting to have a crisis over how they are going to deal with missing classes for a Bowl game if it happens.
 
The more college football games I go to, the more I think it's nonsense that the NFL doesn't have professional marching bands. :D
 
Actually watching college football on ESPN so I don't get shamed for not watching the game that might cinch a bowl game for CU
 
The A&M vs LSU game turned out the way I wanted it. It’s the only game of the year that our home is a house divided. My wife is a graduate of LSU and I’ve been a supporter of A&M my whole life. Now we’ll focus on our mutual dislike of tu and be really rooting for A&M on Thanksgiving weekend. Let’s see if A&M gets a boost they deserve in the polls this week.
 
Yep, they blew it. Came out and played like they were facing some no-name small town high school football team and forgot how to play just basic football. Defense forgot that you cannot tackled big mobile quarterbacks around the shoulders by just grabbing with your hands. Played poorly and deserved to lose for it. Now the whole season hinges on the last conference game of the year. tu.

Did you see the OU / SC game? A&M at least got a touchdown or two.
 
Shedeur Sanders posed for a picture with the Texas Tech marching band yesterday. This was my teen's response.

Yeah Deion's done better than I expected. Kinda ironic that I feel like I don't hear anything about them anymore now that they're a generally good team.
To be honest, I always felt that the coverage that Colorado got was partly waiting for the “inevitable” crash and burn.

I hate Deion with a passion. Even when they lose he runs his fucking mouth like they are the champions. He's bombastic and grating and I hope Colorado loses every game until he is sent off in disgrace.

Reactions: Dei
I also find him grating, but it's what he gets paid to do. I do not understand the hype he gets as a coach and the amount of 'Prime' merch that people wear. But I wouldn't wish a whole team to lose because of that.

I can understand your feelings about him, at one time I would have been standing next to you, but this I met him in a real world setting. We were in Plano, Tx for a Sci-Fi themed comic show and our crew went to breakfast together before the last day opened, a Sunday morning. We went to a Denny’s and were seated near him and his family, him, wife, daughter and son, his he son was maybe 2-3 at the time pretty sure that was before Shadur was born. They’re having a quiet time eating, being a family and we recognized him by left them alone, it was the right thing to do. The way hole family was dressed to the nines in a heir church clothes, except the little boy, he was in an oversized white t-shirt, which having known kids and been that age myself seemed like a good idea is a place that has syrup. We all go on with breakfast and they finish and start getting up to leave, and the boy makes a run for it toward the front. Deion just stood there with that little shake of the head that all parent everywhere have made. He waited, son peeked back around the end of the booths and Deion just motioned for the kid to come back. He did. Deion reached down and pulled the shirt off the kid who was wearing a very nice silk kids suit underneath. We nodded to them as they were leaving, but didn’t interrupt their morning. Deion stopped at our table and tanked us for letting them have their morning together and asked if we needed anything, we told him no and he went on his way. Just a very polite and obviously not “on for the public” moment that we had with him.

The university obviously likes him enough to let him run his mouth and do the whole dog & pony show he's turned it into. So yeah, the whole team should suffer. Just like Iowa where the coaches suck and never do anything even remotely innovative but the school still gives the coach a huge amount of TAXPAYER MONEY through federal grants that fuel public universities. SCHOOLS that allow shit like this should suffer and if the suffering is nothing more than losing a few football games, so be it.
