1Texas v. 20 oklahoma
It’s 2:38 PM in Dallas and ou still sucks
The roar of “ou sucks” chants is music to my ears. They are sucking a little more than I anticipated
RRS is always one of those “throw the records out” games. Neither team ever looks truly comfortable in Fair Park, but both of them are chock full of highly-recruited DFW kids trying to show each other up with a ton of friends and family there.
ou misses their field goal! The “yet to trail this season” streak lives on a little longer
Well, OU tried to give y’all chances, but Ewers looks really rusty.
RIP always lead streak
Man OU really just refused to tackle for an entire series huh
Breakfast Taco UT finally starting to look decent.
Fumble into the end zone to recover for a touchdown! Exactly how we drew it up. Not stressed about nearly causing a touchback at all, nope
Y’all always have sparklers on your flags?
I think we’ve had them for about 10 years or so. It’s a little gimmicky but I like it
I don’t mind Horns-down as a hand-sign at all. Texas schools having hand-signs they’re overly attached to is just kind of a thing, and it’s ripe for mockery. Where it gets cringe is commissioning custom jewelry, like the OU staffer the broadcast just showed. Or maybe worse, if it’s not custom, and you’re literally putting money in the pocket of Roller-Derby UT.
Also, a team that fumbles shouldn’t be allowed to benefit from the ball having rolled forward. Just feels bad, man.
I don’t mind much either. Same thing with holstering the Texas Tech guns – it’s just having a bit of fun with the old SWC hand signs. But non-SWC teams doing the hand signs feels kind of lame
Yeah not a big fan of the “Vol” hand sign tbh
THE HAT IS
OURS!
SC QB can’t count. Dude went for the TD 3x instead of the FG. That’s an entirely winnable game he threw away, literally.
Man they almost had em. THAT woulda been a fun back to back leading into TSIO next week lol
I am so disappointed in that lmao. Blue balled to death
The fall of Bama is amazing to watch
Florida @ 11 Tennessee
I hate this game, I do not want this to go to extra time. Please just finish it
I think y’all’ll get it. EDIT: or not. This game is so damn stupid.
Also was hopeful about that replay until I saw the puff of sand.
THEY’RE REALLY GONNA MAKE ME WATCH MORE OF THIS BULLSHIT?!?!?
Tennessee successfully failed to lose. 🤣
It was a back and forth hard fought effort, but ultimately it was the gators who came out on bottom
Just when I was prepared to call our secondary “improved”
And THAT is why it’s so frustrating when we stall out. The pieces are obviously still there
Somehow Florida gets a brilliant improvisational play for a TD, and decides to do some bizarre trick play, but then says nope at the last second. PAT good. This game is very stupid, LOL.
This game has got to be incredible to watch for anyone who hates the gators and the Vols
So… a certain percentage of Georgia fans, or a certain generation of Alabama fans? 🤣
That kid can freaking get it
Unfortunately I feel OT favors the gators here
I feel exactly the opposite. This Gators team is not built for high pressure situations where mistakes are punished.
Well that was not a good game, but at least you’re one step closer to firing Napier!
Y’all are talented but have a few issues to sort out. GG (of a sort, LOL).
Any sort of competence from Billy in the first half, and I don’t the second plays out how it did. This one won’t get Billy fired tonight, but it won’t help much either.
Well fuck me
How is that the play that goes our way lol
Give me a replay, because Nico made that reach I’m telling you
I thought he stepped out and was still a bit short, but I admit I was pleasantly surprised by that spot.
BAH, there we go. I knew Lagway wouldn’t go under center. He takes spikes and kneeldowns from shotgun.
Being in the gun is a disadvantage. Jet sweep against a fast team is dumb and why Billy is probably still going to get fired this year.
-
Interception! LOL.
-
Gotta give Heupel credit. After his playing days, he didn’t do any Kingsbury/Reilly bullshit. No sir, with athletic fitness no longer a key requirement, the man went full fat-dad. I can appreciate that.
-
Neither team wants to score any points. Jeezus.
- Neither team wants to score any points. Jeezus.
This times a million. Billy seems like a good dude, but he coaches DUMB.
That was an incredibly poor finish to the half, everyone who is tuned in is stupider for watching it
The announcers keep talking about it being “like an NFL game.” Well, right now it looks like the fourth quarter of the Hall of Fame preseason opener.
It’s been a while since I watched a full pro game outside of the sb. If this is what it’s like how has this sport not been outlawed yet
-
AAAHHHHHH IM GONNA THROW UP
Gotta stop grabbing the shoulder-numbers, pumpkins.
THAT’S THE HEUP PLAYCALLING I LIKE TO SEE
LOL, yeah, that was bonkers in the fun way.
Fuckers.
Crowd noise was a given. Billy might lose close and still get tarmac’d. Such an underwhelming coaching display.
To wit, the play calling FOR LAGWAY was much more aggressive when it was his designated possessions, but now Billy is acting like he’s a raw backup with no reps.
-
“Gutsy throw” = announcer speak for “Stupid freshman throw that somehow worked out”.
-
I don’t hate that fourth down decision or the call. Sometimes they don’t work out, and Creepy Zombie Science UT clearly has the momentum.
-
Can we please cool it with the damn boobirds when a gator goes down?
The last one looked a bit sus, but as they mentioned you wouldn’t want to have a key pass rusher out on a key third-and-long. I would in general be in favor of having to stay out more than one play if you have to come off, though. Realistically, can you even be properly evaluated in the 30-60 seconds that a play could reasonably take in real time?
Picking up right where we left off
That was an… interesting series for the Tennessee offense.
Yeah normally I like Heup’s playcalling. It can be controversial but it’s aggressive… that wasn’t
These god damn oline penalties
That is exactly what the doctor ordered!
Worst part is, I can’t even blame that on Billy. Lagway just forgot defenders are allowed to jump.
Montrell Johnson twisted all funky on that tackle (it was clean, best I can tell, though sort of an unintentional hip-drop). Not optimistic he’ll be back tonight.
Yeah that last gator drive was attritional to say the least
Man our oline is just not good
FUCK. Decent call. Goddammit.
Points is points.
Punting is smart for Tennessee. The more plays Florida has to run, the greater the chance Billy Napier does something stupid. Big Brain Heupel.
Florida scores a TD.
Mertz has non-contact injury. Johnson still out.
I have this game on in the background while I do chores and I swear every time I check back in I see an injured Gator. I’m new to the SEC – is this field really cursed as was purported in The Blind Side?
Maybe? I know some dogs that call it Kneeland stadium. And there is of course the body farm under it…
Apparently they also sacrificed the entire defense. Nice drive, undersaturated orange team.
RRS is too stressful, so seeking brief reprieve in 3 Penn State at USC. This is a beautiful uniform combo.
I, uh, did not know that the C doesn’t have to line up at center and can snap on the end of the line and be an eligible receiver. That was a beautiful TD by Penn State’s center there
Agreed. Their “Cardinal and Gold” is nice but not that special to me on its own, but it complements a lot of other teams’ combos really well.
Penn State survives! I really thought the B1G travel curse would get them. I hope that means an Ohio State University will succumb to the West Coast trip
SAFETY ON MILROE! Hell yeah, Gamecocks!
Every now and then Bevo demands blood
It is known. Georgia learned this the hard way when they tried to introduce Uga to Bevo in the 2019 Sugar Bowl
Iowa is totally getting jobbed here. I know it’s just 3 pts but that was not a field goal! I absolutely cannot believe the ref said it was good. Honestly he should be suspended
Lol, and a few minutes later Iowa has a nearly identical borderline FG kind of negating UW’s earlier one.
EXTEND YOUR FIELD GOAL POSTS, IOWA
This BYU - AZ game is pretty competitive, but BYU is about to make it not so
Lol @ Gus thinking BYU could kick a fg from their own 40
Now I’m wondering how high of elevation you would need to make it possible. Like, if Justin Tucker was on top of Mount Everest could it be done?
Neal Brown needs to fucking go. Dude is awful. 21 from the defense AND two 3 and outs coming from the half and you did fuck all with it. Neal is a sham.
Fwiw, some people have taken to calling the UF-UT game the Third Saturday in September. I just call it the fucking florida game
I heard that for the first time this morning and was very confused.
I love when matchups have names, but I never cared for the ones that are named after a specific date. Especially with all the changes recently in cfb (and the lack of reverence for history by TV execs), there are no guarantees that rivalries will continue to even be played, let alone occurring on a traditional day
Third Saturday in October hits just a little different though (totally recognizing my bias here but still)
I didn’t even know we played it mostly on the same weekend. 🤷♀️ It’s an important game, but unless we’re both in top form, it’s our #3 rivalry, and the LSU game is closing in.
Now, to be clear, Florida is nowhere near spitting distance of being close to top form. Billy doesn’t even need to win today to fend off the reaper, just look like a competent college coach that might win this game in a year or two.
In fact, I really can’t lose today. Either we win and give fans of Runaway-Truck-Ramp UT fits for another year, we lose close and look competent, or we lose big and get a head start on stealing somebody’s coach.
What is dead may never die.
I didn’t either, I just know that I can count the wins I’ve seen against florida on one hand. That’s the only team that’s true for. Even the other members of the “big 3” that we face every year were “easy wins” when I was young. This game has always been a special game to me, so I’ve always hated the gators with a passion. As far as the name goes, I don’t really like it. It feels like people were just trying to match TSIO (which to be fair when the florida game started to really become a rivalry bama was not really an exciting game). Here’s to a good one today
