What was funnier: Florida losing to Georgia Southern or Texas losing to Kansas?

Florida losing to Georgia Southern wins in my book because of the stat line.

I just got an Instant Pot and salsa chicken was one thing I planned to use it for regularly. How long do you cook it?

20 minutes and then let it decompress on its own. The chicken just falls apart.

Naw, this means they're going to go 11-1 with 3 first team All American offensive linemen, all of whom played QB in high school.

I’m confused. How are you ‘that was the joke’-ing me? Were you implying Iowa State by saying Wisconsin?

He was trolling me because 11-1 implied a loss to Iowa State. 2002 Never Forget.

Any of you guys used Hulu TV? I"m trying to figure out what streaming service to go with this fall and it looks like they have both ESPN and Fox Sports channels. My wife already pays them like $10/month so it would only be a $30 upper and all the other services that have both are $40+. I was perfectly happy with PSVue last year but they keep adding channels and increasing the price which defeats the whole purpose of cutting cable.

worked out well for the couple times I used their free trial to get a game on cbssportsnet. I think the only downside with them is that they have a pretty strong limitation on how many concurrent streams you can run.

I signed up last year for football and have zero complaints. It was the best option for me because it also has BTN, and the like 400 different Fox Sports channels can have some pretty random stuff which can be entertaining. Also having local stations available has come in handy when over the air reception craps out.

I was a pretty big fan of it last year. It was especially handy because all the major streaming networks allowed you to authenticate to their proprietary streaming platform using your Hulu subscription. So instead of using Hulu I'd often just use WatchESPN, BTN2Go, Fox Sports Go, etc. I found the performance to be a little better on the specific platforms instead of Hulu.

I plan on subscribing again in a couple weeks :)

Hulu it is.

WatchESPN has a 30 second-1 minute long delay which sucks if you're the kind of person who liveposts during football games. I've never had a problem with them quality-wise.

Gives me time to mentally prepare for giving up 50 yards on 3rd and 17.

I bit the bullet on an Athletic subscription, found a deal for $30/year. Seems worth it, I like the app and the articles I've read so far have been good. Never heard of the guy who writes for Tennessee (David Ubben) but his articles have been good.

That's where he ended up? He was a Big XII writer for a long time who steadfastly refused to ever come to Ames for any reason.

Dollar General's great in the most rural areas where they might be the first store to open up in decades and saves everyone for miles around the time and fuel to go to Walmart in town, but there are plenty of 4-digit population size towns that kept their mom-and-pop or a little regional chain and DG (Family Dollar too) is suffocating those towns.

Dollar General is basically Wal-Mart for places that are too small and poor to get a Wal-Mart.

Yeah any college football forum where the average age is over 40 is absolute garbage.

All forums period that don't either have a high barrier to entry or heavy moderation are garbage. Sports forums are just particularly bad because of the demographic they pull from.

Bama LB Chris Allen goes down for the year as well. Is Nick Saban concerned about depth?

Oh no, they might have to go to a backup who was probably only also a five start recruit that might leave early for the NFL.

Is there anything I need to know about Michigan other than Harbaugh being weird? I'm not going to jump on the Michigan train or anything but with Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan State all being recently proven to be terrible institutions I'm willing to passively be okay with them winning the East unless informed otherwise.

lol someone did some digging on Zach Smith's social media and it turns out Tom Herman was the coach who went to the strip club with him when they were on the recruiting visit

If the rumors from Herman's time in Ames that he and his wife are swingers turn out to actually be true that'll be pretty amazing.
