Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
The best thing about UVA winning is London's so not getting fired and that's awesome.

UVA fans won't realize this until December or so and then they'll get all depressed again.

Just triple team him, none of our other receivers can do poo poo. Besides, he's an LSU player, so he will probably end up suspended for pot or bar fights by then.

The Alabama secondary, with exception to Landon Collins, really loving sucks. I mean, I guess it could be worse. What's scary is that they're playing marginally better right now than they did against West Virginia because Bradley Sylve is benched. Eddie Jackson is the only guy back there that isn't named 'Landon Collins' with any redeeming qualities.

Florida is going to earn more yards through the air than they will deserve next week. But in two weeks when we go to Oxford, Laquon Treadwell is going to have a field day against us, and I already don't even want to think about what Travin Dural (LSU) is going to do in November.

Part of me really hopes that this is some sort of scheme that Smart/Saban have cooked up to lure future opponents into a false sense of security, but I know the program too well to believe they'd ever be okay with Southern Miss receivers getting open at will.

As far as the QB situation, Blake Sims is the guy. I'm fine with it. He leads and commands the huddle, and extends plays with his feet. Jacob Coker, no doubt, was monumentally overrated. Big arm, but no nerves.

not worried about Ole Miss 'cuz Wallace is a head case, but for A&M and LSU I have a feeling it's going to be a bunch of sacks or bust

also Kevin Norwood isn't here to go "loving insane" mode against LSU

What, exactly, is the reasoning for that rule, anyway? Is it because nobody wanted to play Hawaii on the road otherwise because of travel expenses and a perceived disadvantage to traveling west?

Precisely. Teams were allowed an extra home game to cover the cost of flying to Hawaii and back.

Incidentally, the NCAA bylaw that allows this would also apply to any hypothetical Alaskan college football team, though as far as I'm aware there hasn't been one of those since 1952 (and the one that did exist played all of its known games against a local Air Force base).

Yep.

For the most part, we've been unfortunate enough to run into Auburn whenever they're very good and/or have a generational talent (ala Cam), but we've had a couple chances against mediocre teams and still managed to blow it. A road game against yet another high-caliber Auburn team? Better luck next time.

No, really, you guys will go 6-6 or 7-5 and be happy and you should be but it'll hit most of your fanbase later that London's still coach and you won't be rid of him yet.

Ugh it's been a while since Texas had one slip away right at the end. In recent years we've been blown out plenty of times, but if we were still in the game with 10 minutes left we tended to win.

That poo poo emotionally devastated me to a completely embarrassing degree. It seems like it should hurt worse to watch your team get absolutely curbstomped but not so in this case. Looking forward to the bye week.

Nah, totally makes sense. If you're getting curbstomped, you can say 'gently caress this' and just flip a table and walk out (either literally or just emotionally) at the end of the third quarter or so. If they keep it close, you have to come to terms with it much faster.

Also we just straight up stole that game. Like we had our second-to-last drive completely stuffed and had to punt, then forced a 3-and-out, returned the punt like 40 yards thanks to a highlight block, and then immediately scored on a beautiful throw. It was a hell of a story for us and for Neuheisel, but I do feel bad for the Texas goons cause that's a really lovely way to lose a game that was close the whole time.
