Double pain. Alabama play and sitting in airport for almost 11 hours waiting for flight.

I don't drink but I may have to start

14-0 Gamecocks maybe Vegas was right. But you're never out of the game against UofSC.

SEC refs are still horrible
There's some incredibly bad reffing out there. But it comes down from the top,imo. I don't remember which game I was watching, but a game changing play in the 4th quarter. Maybe not clearly, but 98% probably it was a forward pass. There's letvthd play go on by ruling it a fumble. "Rules expert" gets on the air during the review and states what a great job the refs did by letting the play go on, because now they could review it and get it right. The "rules expert" Then stated that there just wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call on the field, that it was a close play and whichever way it had been ruled on the field it would just have to stand.

That's a bullshit cop-out. They should try to get the call right on the field. And if they have to review if, they should prioritize getting the call right.

DAWGS 59 - Cal 32

Great all-around performance by the Dawgs to kick of conference play. I like it.

My first time watching him. Kept hearing good things, but he just throws the ball up for grabs. Not hitting anyone in stride, not reading the defense, not throwing on time to hit them on a break. Looks like a college QB, but never gonna play at the next level.
It wasn’t one of his better games but Clemson has a ton of top defensive talent and the run game was stymied the entire time.

I have to laugh at espins headlines. They always spin things into a negative for some

“OSUs narrow escape “…… lol

Not. “Hard fought defensive battle”
Nd is a damn good team. Clearly

Waiting to see how they title the Rutgers Mi. Game… I’m sure they’ll ignore the 1st half….

You win enough and there is more ratings in placating the haters than the fans. Or at least thats what it seems like sometimes.

#6 vs #9 isnt really a 'narrow escape' scenario. ND did choke but at the same time it was pretty clear that OSU had talent and was playing a talented team. This isnt like Georgia playing Mizzou last year. The 3rd and 19 is the big play in the game imo and based on what ive read its something they've actually practiced a bit so...all credit to OSU imo.

My God I'm so happy to be back on a real football message boards. I missed this board so much lol. I was here years ago, had over 14,000 post man, it was awesome. I got in a bad spot in life and got on drugs and shit and kinda faded away. I've been clean 3 years now tho, so I'm good. But when I got back into talking football again, I was on these stupid Facebook boards. They are full of idiots and trolls, literally zero legit football talk. I got restricted for calling an LSU fan a corndog!! What?!!! Come on bro!

Why is Gameday going to Durham NC when Notre Dame lost to Ohio St last week instead of Kansas @tu unless they want to go to Dallas next week but then again they could go to College Station for the Bama @A&M if both A&M and Bama win this weekend?

I don't think they've ever been to Durham. Novelty has its own value. Can't say I am sweating it as a Kansas guy, personally.
