2013 NCAA Football Thread

You could not, because no one said that Mizzou's scheduling was a ticket to greatness, but rather that scheduling in a way that you're suggesting they should to avoid your "vinegar" is unreasonable for a variety of reasons. Nuance is not a 4 letter word.

Reducing everything to a snarky soundbite does not work in general, but it's even worse when you're under-informed compared to those you're trying to snark.

We'll try to keep this a Tiger Fan zone in here for ya. It's great that you consider yourself informed on the intracies of NCAA scheduling and other things not-pertaining to the game itself. Mike Alden needs an intern.

Just to illustrate the point, look at this chicanery. SIX [expletive] HELMETS for Indiana, and one of them has the [expletive] state flag on it. Another has chrome stripes, which... when the [expletive] did chrome become a thing in college football? What fresh hell is this?



I thought Mizzou was wacky enough by adding a third helmet.

Also... Kansas apparently trailed Louisiana Tech going into the 4th quarter and needed a field goal as time expired to win. So, hahaha to that.

I don't understand the state flag one. The Indiana state flag has a blue background and is distinguishable by that blue background. When you put it on the red helmet it loses a lot of resemblance to the state flag. Maybe Indiana State in Terre Haute could do that helmet in blue.

The second helmet from the left looks to be a throw back helmet.

South Dakota State's running back has something like 15 carries for 164 yards in the 1st half against Nebraska, but they're down 21 because the coach doesn't have the sense to feed him the ball at every opportunity. It hasn't just been one big play either-- I'm pretty sure his shortest run has been 3 or 4 yards today. There's no way the Huskers could stop him in 3 downs, maybe not 2.

That Nebraska defense is brutal. Over 500 yards given up to South Dakota St. I know Nebraska isn't the same job it used to be, but good lord surely they can do better than Bo Pelinis.

Jeff Driskel out for the season. Could shift things in the SEC a bit.

WTF could this guy possibly have been thinking?

[Valpo Cardinal Fan]

More importantly, is the Western New England @ Coast Guard academy game canceled?

According to the Hartford Courant, NO!!!! The game is on. Thank God! Head for New London, CT for some government football. Who said they were shutting down the non-essentials.

Did you guys here that Lane Kiffin got fired? That the team was loading up on the bus when Kiffin was told to get off to take a call? That he told the bus driver to hold on? That when he got off someone from the staff told the bus driver to go ahead and leave?

At least the driver did get in the wrong Lane.
