If the Vols get a garbage TD here to kill my Under 62.5 bet, I'm going full Daniel LaRusso on the living room TV.

IMO, OU should've just kneeled it instead of running it in. Hopefully they can field this onside kick.

I have to wonder if Hugh Freeze survives the season.

Auburn is now 4-5 with Mercer, Alabama and Vanderbilt left.

Odds are very high they finish 5-7, and that would make it their 3rd consecutive losing season under Freeze and their 5th consecutive losing season overall.

It's crazy how Auburn let go of the Gus Bus and they ended up worse for it.

Another big onsides kick. Should not have scored that TD so fast. Venabke being an ass again.

I love Sorsby, but when he goes cold, it is ICE cold.

Looking like the Nebraska game again

I really made Skyline Dip today for nothing

Watching this game, knowing I gotta watch Joe Flacco play hurt because Joe Burrow is hurt, realizing I’m stuck in hell as a Cincinnati sports fan

Tonight went about as well as it could have gone. GT and Tennessee lost, and USC won.
Pitt winning too was not a bad thing. San Diego St might sneak in. 7-1 with decent wins but one horrible loss to WSU.

Now, I would like to see TX lose one more (likely, with GA and TAMU still on the schedule)

And for sure, USC to beat Oregon - That loss would help a lot.

And maybe Pitt can pile on and also beat GA Tech the week after we beat Pitt (we can't lose that one!).

We would be sitting pretty then.

This was ruled a score. (timestamped)


We're getting to a point where something about the review rules need to be tweaked. Way too much deference is given to the call on the field. Every week there's a few games where a call is upheld and the booth rationale is "Yes the entire runner and his extended family are having a picnic beyond the line to gain, but we can't see the ball behind his forearm so we can't say for certain that the ball didn't momentarily escape to a pocket dimension. Call upheld because we just don't have the evidence."

This play is the opposite but just as stupid. Any person with eyes can look at that ball and put together that it's not going to hit the line, but because the ball dissappears for a second, there's a chance the ball carrier is Mr. Gadget so the call is upheld.

Supposedly, replay refs didn't do the right thing because they deemed the camera angle itself to be unreliable. Not sure if that's true, but it would be incredibly dumb.
