Georgia's QB situation is atrocious for how prestigious of a program it is but that's okay since they can win every game next year by running the dang ball.

In other news, North Dakota has narrowed its nicknames down to 15 contenders.

Ergo, LSU will play for the National Title this year.

Well this is fun.

I live in the same apartment complex they got arrested in. I didn't see or hear anything suspicious though because cops are here probably 4 times a week.

What's the chance, during SEC media days next week, we get a strong narrative from ESPN about how the SEC should definitely get two teams into the playoff this year.

If the SEC has any teams in the playoffs it won't be due to media day, it will be based on some sort of conference championship game

This is assuming that Alabama will automatically get a spot

Lmao Alabama fans talk about other SEC fans as if they're the ones who poison trees and put their scrotums on people

You guys lost the right to call it the Victory Flag after you burned it :colbert:

Also so much of LSU's traditions are revolved around our rivalry with Tulane. LSU used the colors blue and white for the longest time. And then changed them on a whim one day because it was easier to find Mardi Gras colors and Tulane already had green so we grabbed the rest.

I'd love to see a competitive rivalry between LSU and Tulane again.

Baylor had their first closed scrimmage of the fall today. Main takeaways are that Seth Russell absolutely shredded the second string (probably) defense after the first-stringers kept him bottled up a few days ago at the open practice last weekend, starting 9-9 and eventually getting up to 17-21 for 233 yards and 3 TDs. No turnovers, which is good to see after seeing some genuine reason for concern regarding his decision making in the past. Tight Ends and RBs also combined for 6 pass catches, 3 of which and a touchdown went to co-starting TE Tre'von Armstead. That's a lot more checkdowns than Briles offenses are used to running, so an interesting takeaway there. Defensively, a few freshmen look like they might push for early playing time, Taion Sells is really chasing the starting safties, Taylor Young is looking Real Good, and Ryan Reid led the D in pass breakups with 3, which I like.

I also graduated from Baylor today, hooray

Congrats on the diploma! :)

Seth Russell sounds like he's going to have one hell of a season. It's going to be very interesting to see him vs Boykin as the season progresses

Welp, Texas is suddenly in trouble at the TE position. Andrew Beck is out indefinitely with an unspecified knee injury and now Blake Whitely just tore his ACL, so his season is done. Right now we have a true freshman (Deandre McNeal) and a hastily converted WR of no particular note (Garrett Gray). There's another true freshman (Devonaire Clarington) who needs to score 12 or higher on the ACT next week to be eligible for the fall semester.

When I applied to go to school at UT years ago, my ACT of like 30 wasn't good enough to get good out of state scholarships. I believe the average ACT score for in state acceptance is like 28. So 12 for a football student makes sense because they'll skew it and claim being a student athlete makes it much harder to get high grades in college


But getting lower than a 12 on the ACT is borderline mental retard
