Notre Dame is overrated. I think for them this will be one of those games where they maybe go up first, make a good game, but ultimately lose by 2+ TDs.

The match up doesn't look great: poor pass defense against a pass happy team. Run D is good but isn't much of a factor as FSU doesn't run anyway.

I think ND is pretty good but I think their youth on defense actually catches up to them this game. If Golson decides he isn't the 2-3 turnover per game qb, I think ND can definitely score enough points to win. This is either going to be like the Oklahoma game in 2012 or ND is gonna get stomped.

We have been atrocious at forcing turnovers this season, so there is that.

Espn took away the #BlameJameis signs apparently. Naturally.

I saw 2 at least, so they didn't take them all away apparently.

Just saw a good one: "ESPN's SEC bias is too damn high" with the dude from "the rent is too damn high" party.

If one was to ask Enfinit though... that ESPN is conspiring against Jameis!

There were plenty of #BlameJameis signs on GameDay, although my favorite sign was "Doak is so big Sam Ponder came twice."


Also, I'm not on that ESPN conspiracy bandwagon. All I said was negative Jameis = ratings, positive Jameis = no ratings. That's how business works. So go fuck yourself, I'm heading back to my spaceship with my tin hat on.

Wow Oklahoma. There are some times when I think I really could be a better offensive coordinator than some of these coaches now.

Saw two BlameJameis signs on Gameday, one with a dinosaur I didn't understand, and one saying I Blameth Jameth, brought to you by Lou Holtz.

Edit: NM, Winston is why the dinosaurs died (wife got it before me), also saw one with Kennedy and him.

I'll actually be home on a computer for the game today (not at a bar with just my phone or in a stadium with no reception at all like I usually am) so I 'll be posting more than normal.

Then again, we're playing Kansas, so maybe I won't be. All you need to know about them is that Tech is on a 4 game losing streak (3 of which were pretty much blowouts) and an 8 game conference losing streak and we're still favored by 13 points.

Nice mistake OU.

I knew I should have picked KSU.

I really want to pick Kansas State, and I definitely would if they weren't playing in Norman. May change that one later.

Read a few times that the honeymoon is over for Kliff, but fans I know still love him. Low expectations I guess
