Exhibit A on why you don't talk shit before the game is played.

Especially if you’re just a booster and have literally no impact during the 60min of actual football.

To put his ego into perspective, not only does he have the field named after himself but he's also got a reserved parking spot at the football field right next to the head coach, the athletic director, and the school president.

Wouldn't you expect a perk or two when you're paying for everything at that school?
I'd demand a hot tub suite on the 50 yard line with a lectica litter carrying me to and from my limo.

What exactly did Cincinnati do in the Sorsby saga? I assume the right thing, so of course Tech is big mad that another institution did the right thing.

They looked the other way about his gambling until he transferred. Then they squealed like rats.

If Brian Kelly did this at ND someone would call the cops

Ahhh. So was it known to them that he was I assume?

If so, real shitty and petty. But still fuck Tech for thinking they’re anything more than the 4th best team in Texas.

Yeah, they knew about it going back to his IU days.

He did breach their contract when he transferred, so he shouldn't have been too shocked that they told on him.

UCF puts 39 on this tough BYU defense. Shame on us!

They put up 24 in regulation just like us and we missed opportunity for at least 6 more. Yes our O did suck regardless. Blame it on Denbrock for shitty playcalling and Brown for no WR rotation and Seder for not playing Walton more than James.

SDIrishFan · 2026-10-25T12:16:09-0400

So what we’re saying is that there are no elite teams, this thing is wide open and there’s probably 10 teams who have a shot at this thing?

Crazy times…

James averaging 4.8 yards per carry was not the the problem.

I like Walton too, I also agree he should have played more but being critical of James ain’t it.

This what we ALL wanted or at-least I think that’s what we want.

Holy fuck some of you are miserable

They got 200 yards total this game. Cmon man!

not meant as a dig on James but Walton is just more explosive and doesn’t accept too many TFLs like James did.

Blackledge just compared Mosley to Faison.

But would any of the USC receivers start for us?

No because they have to be at least juniors to see the field.

College Gameday was gonna go to UNC - Miami but had to cancel

So they were going to do back-to-back Miami road games?

NDFAN2008 · 2026-10-25T13:26:23-0400

So they are going to IU for college game day so Indiana back to back weeks? I think Tech or Georgia woulda been better.

Lincoln Riley Has Run Out of Time at USC

After the Trojans’ debacle against Wisconsin, it’s clear their five-season investment in the head coach is falling far short of their lofty ambitions.

14-0 South Carolina over Tennessee early. Sellers as the portal QB target if Carr leaves?

Noooooooope, I can see it now vs a Top 5 team and we will have the "bright" idea to pass 40-50 times with Sellers

Not to rehash everything, but I literally don’t know if we could’ve had a worse game plan on both offense and defense.

BYU is closer to the 20th ranked team than they are the 2nd ranked team. I don’t care what the polls say

It's becoming a theme for any game that shifts the momentum of the program at this point

He’s just a road warrior I guess
