Gurley is a good runner.

HOT TAKE

GG, Chickenshits.

Sorry, ZSS... still love you.

 

[Talon]

So where the fuck was this team against Michigan last week?

 

[truly101]

Congrats NW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just saw the score

 

[KingGondo]

Wow. We fucking suck. No other way to say it.

 

[Branduil]

And zero shitty losses.

We are getting in if we win out, and everybody can cry all they want about it. It isn't the school's fault our schedule turned out weak this year.

That's true.

Spoiler

It is the school's fault that half their players aren't in jail, though.

 

[sf2fanatic]

So who's Oregon rooting for next week. UCLA or USC?

 

[Chris R]

ND lost? Didn't know the weekend could get any better!!!!

 

[Kevtones]

Let it be known that the Cal Bears won @ Northwestern

 

[Talon]

You're welcome, America.

Now you won't have to suffer another ND blowout loss in January.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

6 ranked losses today so far. Fun day.

Who knows... CFP committee is definitely sending a message to FSU, though. Better start winning big and soon.

I'm not sure it matters.

Go Bruins.

Where's Notre Dame guy to tell us how much money their graduates make? :/

Miami should just tarp the upper bowl. What a disaster their fan base is.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

He's still banned right?

 

[Chris R]

Texas going to do it???

 

[truly101]

So the Orange Bowl committee is praying hard that either FSU loses a game or they don't really have to take the next best ACC team.

 

[KingGondo]

Texas going to do it???

Beat OSU?

Yes.

 

[perfectchaos007]

This is the quick start Texas needed

 

[jakncoke]

haha hell yea n'western

Why can't I be Notre Dame guy? I'm pretty nice and I never win the pick 'em anyway.

Obligatory GAF CFB thread check-in as a Northwestern fan.

Go cats! Was great to see them beat ND again. Last time was 95 in our miracle season. Awesome

You've done us all a great service.

Sorry Affe, you're one of the good ones, but screw your team.

GO GREEN!

KICK SOME TURTLE ASS!

You just described why you can't be ND guy.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

50,000 attendance just doesn't look good in an NFL stadium

 

[Affeinvasion]

If Stanford loses tonight I think we should all blame the curse of Ty Willingham.

You just described why you can't be ND guy.

But it's all true (also I've been here longer than either him or the other guy...I'm the prototype).

GO WHITE

The Miami attendance situation is really complicated. There's some student/local apathy, yes, but it's not the only thing involved in why their home venues have always looked so empty.

ASU

Miami is just a terrible sports city.

 

[Jhriad]

This is anathema to the spirit of big ten football. How many times do we have to humiliate you before you get hateful?

1,000,000

I'll scream my ass off at a game but at the end I'll shake hands with every opposing fan I see and wish them the best of the luck with the rest of the year. Except Colorado. Fuck Colorado. Eh, I might still give them a friendly nod or something.

Great win! B1G! B1G! B1G!

I notice alot more of the running punts... Is this gonna be the future now?

A lot of NFL stadiums are smaller than college. But Joe Robbie seats like 75k. If there are actually 50k there, then yeah 20k missing would look bad. But it would look bad anywhere.

What big cities are great college football cities?

LA? Any others?

I wish it were that simple.

Seattle was great before the team went into the shitter and they sold out every aspect of the program's tradition.

But what about Texas?

 

[Affeinvasion]

Dallas? Seattle? That's all I can think of. I think it has more to do with cities not having room for the kinds of big land grant universities that support huge student populations and fanbases.

I'm sure the complication is that they just haven't been dominate or even good consistently since the early 2000s under the Big East.

I still don't understand why they gave up the Orange Bowl. I'm sure people are happy the current president announced her retirement too. She never seemed friendly to athletics.

Columbus

Gurley is fun to watch.

 

[jamesinclair]

With so many ranked teams collapsing, can they finally give Marshall the crown they deserve?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

It filled in a bit, I see. That's good. Even though I'm sure a massive chunk of those seats are FSU fans.

It's easier to find guys to kick those than trying to pin them deep with some good gunners and a high kick. Conventional punting probably has a higher ceiling as to how effective it can be in a number of situations though.

 

[truly101]

This game is like watching Tecmo Bowl

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Fair enough. Forgot the attendance in most NFL stadiums is smaller than college.



I just saw the odds for this game. Surprised how close they're are putting it.
