As a VT fan, I kinda like thursday games. Before this past season, it was usually one of, if not the best, home game for VT. Plus, it was the only day VT would have a night game in Lane. I cant remember the last saturday night game in Lane

I've always been a fan of Thurs night games, mainly b/c we always played Aggy on Thanksgiving. But over the past few years, some of the best and exciting games have been played on Thurs night. Playing KSU at night in Manhattan is tough as hell no matter what day it is.

A great/painful game on Thursday for me was when BC came into Lane ranked #2 I believe and VT was 7/9 or something. ...and then matty ice had to throw that last td towards the very end of the game. That one was tough

Last time Nebraska played on a Thursday evening was also the last time K-State played a Thursday night game. High ratings and rout by the Huskers. I was on the sidelines and it was outstaNding. It was a fun atmosphere.

Hm. Top 10 teams have won 81% of their games when playing a non top 10 team on Thursday. On other days, they've won 82%. Looks like something to avoid.

Football is a game of inches and percentages that 1% can make or break you man.

I'm aware of that. However, that was sent to me, so I passed it on.

I don't even care anymore. If you think 5-3 Northwestern deserves to be ranked #11 and 7-2 Alabama should be ranked #20, then that's all on you.

It's become evident to me in this discussion that you can only see in black and white. So I'm done with it.

So because 7-2 Alabama should possibly be ranked ahead of 5-3 Northwestern, the poll is biased and really 7-2 Alabama should be ranked ahead of 8-0 Minnesota or 8-0-1 Notre Dame, 7-1-1 Texas, 6-1-1 Michigan, 8-1 Missouri, 9-0 Duke, 7-1 Penn, 8-1-1 UGA? They went from unranked all the way to 7th - after already getting blanked by Miss St. - and then lost to Vandy!

Thanks.

He's got the gist of it. Basically, the poll is biased because Alabama was ranked #20 in a year in which they claim a title. What else could it possibly be?

Go fuck yourself if that's what you think after the discussion.

Rashaan Evans - Auburn fans out of control

Sorry if this is already in another thread, but I sure didn't see it. Heard a couple of interviews this morning about this player and what has been happening to him and his family since he committed to Alabama and figured it was worth bringing to the attention of those not from down there.

Rashann Evans goes to Auburn highschool and waited until LOI day to announce he was going to attend Alabama. I get why fans of Auburn would be upset to see this kid go to their enemy, but the lengths some of their fans are going to is so far over the line it boggles the mind.

Fans are trying to get him kicked out of school, have put up the phone numbers, tax records, and other personal information for his parents and other family members on the bunker, have been trying to get everyone to boycott going to his dad's corner market stores, and have been sending this kid messages telling him they hope he blows out his ACL or far worse. Holy shit man, the kid went to your rivals school. Is that worth calling his parents names and telling them how badly their raised their rotten kid?

I can tell you this though, just watching what some Auburn fans are doing is going to reinforce to him what a great decision he made to not go to their school. And might help set the minds of some of his classmates who might be in the next class.

His parents are Auburn Alum too.

People are stupid, all there is to it.

Oh I know every base has their asshats and maybe this isn't news down in your neck of the woods, but hearing that fans are trying to put his parents out of business and have put personal phone numbers of his relatives online is shit beyond what we see in this part of the country. And I'm sure it is at least interesting from that standpoint to fans from other parts of the country where they don't have a rival of that level.
