Temple stands between Penn St and some crummy bowl like Quick Lane Bowl against some bum team maybe Pittsburgh? that'd be a cool matchup both us can manage to reach 6 wins

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Have we heard if Clempson's QB is actually ready to go in terms of throwing? I know he's been out a while, but I've yet to hear if he is actually healthy with his hand vs just pushing him out there to play.

He worked with the second team and was throwing all last week in practice. Says he had no pain. This week he's running with the first team. Still says he has no pain.

Not that I assume anyone of us is going to go to the Miss State/Alabama game this weekend, but if you are, and your coming from the direction of Birmingham towards Tuscaloosa, I feel for you. Road work on one of the bridges has caused massive traffic accidents almost every day. Including one today that started around 6 am this morning, and still backed up 10-15 miles 9 hours later.

Gameday traffic + Road Work + 100's of 18 wheeler's = Bring water and food, enough supplies to last a day or 2.

If Garman unleashes the dragon his full potential and challenges our DB's, we'll be in trouble.
The dragon has been tamed, shackled, and beaten into submission.

It remains to be seen whether Coach Gundy is our Khaleesi.

Like I said in the last thread, the only way we win is in an ugly slugfest. Our offense has been figured out.

OSU-Baylor will be NSFL.

Golden Domers are chickenshit!!

Good article about Drew Sharp's AP ballot trolling.

Spartan and Wolverine fans can agree Sharp is a moron. He's been doing this for years, and fans have learned to ignore his MSU/UofM/B1G hatred in the media. However, it seems others are taking notice of his vote trolling.

He was on the radio today, and I thought for a second he was going to address the very valid point, "we know the B1G sucks, it has for years, why do you have to keep reminding us?" .... and he goes on to say, "you need to be reminded because you're reminded every week on the field."

I guess I kinda know what he meant to say, but how it came out ... we need to be reminded because every week we're reminded .... such a fucking troll asshole.

Story

It's on 20/59, the bridge that goes over Highway 11 (Coaling Exit/Exit 79). Traffic still drives over the 2 lane bridges, but they've moved the lanes before and after the bridges (on both sides) into the emergency lanes, and closed off the left/interior lanes. So, multiple swerve/corners getting past the bridge has been giving the large trucks fits.

Wreck is on the westbound side, going to Tuscaloosa. Gameday will be a nightmare, so as usual, take 216/11 and give yourself a few hours to get there.


Oh yeah, bear hugs between Kirby Smart and Kiffikens, where Kirby admits they stole the game :p

Hope we can become bowl eligible this Friday vs. Tulsa. Then again, we're likely going to the Bitcoin bowl or something. So maybe I don't give a shit about being bowl eligible.

Love the absence of Alabama in the top 4. They definitely didn't look the part on Saturday.

Looks like Nebraska dropped big? Having a bye week is killer in the league now!

Really funny Marshal isnt in the top 25 playoff again. Not even giving them a token victory. Would it hurt them to put them at like 23 or something lol

And not a single one of the Bama fans here will bitch about it. If we beat MSU, Auburn, and the East Champion, we're in. If not, we don't deserve to be in. So, congratulations on getting to gloat, I guess?
