[Some Irish Bloke]

What a disgusting week.

Will probably watch and pull for Cincy (you're welcome, Lion) in hopes they end the stupid UCF streak of beating horrible teams (save Auburn).

And go Hoosiers indeed

 

[IrishLion]

Go Bearcats.

UCF's only potential weakness is their run D... Michael Warren III should have a nice night running the ball, as long as our old pal Mike Denbrock is on his game calling plays. UC's run game is legit, even when they've played decent run defenses.

The question is if UC can chew enough clock while running the ball to keep UCF's offense out of rhythm.

UC's defense is very good, but they did not fare well against Temple a few weeks ago. They've improved from that performance, but UCF is a different animal.

Time to see if Fickell can make that money as a defensive head coach and end UCF's run.

I see UCF winning something like 41-35, unless UC really commits to chewing clock, and forces UCF into a mistake or two.

 

[shortynd01]

I'll be out partying in NYC Saturday night!

 

[Irish YJ]

I'm torn on UCF/Cinci. One of my cousins went to UC, and has been dating a UCF FB player for years (at UC and post grad). Been cheering for UC all year long, but I also like the chaos and debate that UCF brings.

 

[T-Boone]

There is a guy playing for Houston named Parker Eichenberg.

 

[Irish YJ]

Stanford/Cal moved to Dec1 due to wildfires.

 

[Irish YJ]

Early games might be a little more interesting than I thought.

Looking forward to pOSU struggling at Maryland lol.

I can see NW taking a week off and going down to Fleck and team.

 

[Irish YJ]

and just like that, Maryland takes a long run to the house lol 7-0.
Urbie not happy on the sidelines.

 

[Irish YJ]

and another 70+ yard run by Maryland... 14-3 lol
no OSU run D so far today.

 

[Greenore]

I thought Ohio State was going to be good. Lots of good athletes, etc. I've watched a few games this year and I'm coming up empty as to why they have been ranked so high.

I think Meatchicken is going to destroy them unless some sort of Divine intervention takes place.

Urbie is going to have one heck of a headache!!

Cheers and Go Irish!!

 

[ab2cmiller]

Fun watching Urban Liar so far.

most delicious outcome, Urbie goes down today, and barely beats scUM next week.

Fun watching Urban Liar so far.

threw down his headset when they got stopped on 4-1. then looked like he was ready to explode after the following 50 yard pass lol

17-3

 

[Irish YJ]

lol --- delay of game first play after the KO, but urbie has to take a TO and luckily gets it called. they look like ass.

 

[Irish YJ]

ughhh... missed FG in the RZ

 

[arrowryan]

Dex would probably have 500 yards rushing before halftime against this OSU swiss cheese defense.

Those 5 star safeties OSU got last cycle that everyone had a hard on for are garbage.

 

[Circa]

Crushed!

Bama gives up a TD to Citadel lol

 

[Irish YJ]

Florida Gators looking like world beaters up 35-0 early in the second.















vs Idaho

and another TD... 24-10....

Dex would set up camp in the EZ.

 

[Irish YJ]

So if Bama doesn't crush them by 20+, does Clemson jump them leaving us with a 2-3 match up with Bama...


ROLLLLLLLL TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDEEEE

 

[ab2cmiller]

Urban looks dazed and confused. I’m not sure if he even remembers who Brett McMurphy is.

i bet zach was sending ubran some dick pics of Tom this morning...

 

[Circa]

It's crazy to call a penalty on hands to the face when the offensive player forced the situation. Marland Is getting hosed and It's not even close.

 

[Irish YJ]

Bama finally put the starters in for the 3Q. Up 37-10 and close to scoring again.

 

[Irish YJ]

WV up 3 mid 4Q over OK St

PU and Wiscy tied up with 2 and change left. PU with ball

USC down 7 to UCLA with 2:30 left

 

[Irish YJ]

USC goes down

[wizards8507]

BC lost to FSU lol

 

[Irish YJ]
