2017 College Football Thread

[Farewell Friends]

I can't remember if I told this story, but Vahe Gregoria visited my class during that time and we argued over whether columnists should hold college athletes accountable for their on-field performance. Spoiler: the hot take columnist was more than fine with it.

Mike Gundy's "I'm a man! I'm 40!" rant was 10 years ago today. Now I feel old... but not as old as Mike Gundy, who's now 50.

i didn't realize that tantrum included the popular jim rome soundbyte "fat!".

jim rome reminded us today that 2007 also produced "leave britney alone" person and that south carolina miss teen usa cringe answer. he mentioned another famous byte that happened in 07 but i can't remember...pretty sure it was another coach rant.

As I recall, Gundy didn't have a problem with criticizing his players performances in games but moreso the insinuation that they weren't working hard in practice, in the weight room, etc.

Not many marquee games tomorrow. Obviously I'm interested in TCU/OSU. I would like to see if Mississippi State can follow up on last week. The last time Kentucky beat Florida in football....I was in junior high. I also heard an interesting stat today....there have only been 3 AP top 5 teams that have ever visited Kinnick Stadium....and Iowa is 3-0 in those games. Could Penn State be victim #4 tomorrow?

just bet my house on Kentucky +2
