That PI no-call sure benefited the Ducks. Not that it would have changed much.

How much does this Gata loss to Miami affect FSU's season?

Why would it affect us? Strength of schedule? We have way more to worry about than the strength of schedule at this point in the season. Like beating Clemson at Death Valley. Which is basically impossible for us.

Looks like the Gamecocks will have Cody Waldrop (C) out, and Vic Hampton (CB) will play only the second half.

For UGA, Kolton Houston will move over to LG to help out Gates.

Welp, Buckeyes look good after the first quarter, but they looked good after the first quarter last week, and then the second was a trainwreck so...

Refs do know they can throw flags against the Ducks? Right? The blown PI call and now that? Come on.

That flanker screen hasn't worked for Virginia at all. Might as well run it on 4th and 4. Dumb.

Kenny G could start every game with his smooth stylings and we still might go 12-0. Keep Braxton out for this game please.

All this salt for a not that good head coach.

Many Tech fans were against him from the beginning. Many others had to learn their lesson over a few years of being the head coach. I am regrettably part of the second group.

I was excited about him for the first two seasons. Season three I was tired of him giving up so early and "playing not to lose" instead of "playing to win." As a prime example, we got up over Baylor by a few scores last season and we went to safe running/short passing plays in a row and then punting to "protect the lead" instead of running our true offense and it cost us the game.

In the long run it's better for all parties involved that he left when he did, because I was really not looking forward to another season of him being our head coach but he hadn't performed quite badly enough to be fired. If nothing else, at least our split fanbase is finally inspired by hate towards Tuberville, love for Kingsbury, and Baker Mayfield's rendition of the Dougie.

That was an amazing play by Mariota. Wow.

Edit: Good thing #11 was standing there signaling first down instead of trying to block or push the pile. Dumbass.

Oregon doesn't really have a rhythm and 1st down has been horrible.

Credit Virginia, they're winning the line battle on defense and tackling well.

Further details have come out concerning the June 23 rape of a 21-year-old woman that led to the dismissal of four Vanderbilt football players, including junior college transfer, Brandon Vandenburg. According to a report from BuzzFeed, the incident was worse than previously reported and at least one source believes head coach James Franklin tried to cover it up.

In August, Vandenburg and three others—Brandon Banks, JaBorian McKenzie, and Cory Batey—were charged with five counts each of aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery. The alleged rape occurred in Gillette House on the Vanderbilt campus, where a second-floor door was destroyed—seemingly kicked in—and security footage showed a stream of men entering and exiting a room. Then Vandenburg threw a towel over the camera.

It's believed the woman was raped in the room and then moved while the camera was obscured. The woman was reportedly unconscious while Vandenburg had sex with her. After the other three players entered the room, she was penetrated with random objects. Vandenburg recorded and took pictures. The woman had no recollection of any of it until she began to hear about the pictures and video. An attorney who has seen the video told BuzzFeed that there is "a strong racial component" to the footage, without elaborating.

A source close to one of the dismissed players thinks coach Franklin urged one of the players to delete a video after viewing it.

I’m 99.9 percent sure that Franklin saw the video,” the source said. “And I wouldn’t be surprised if the public finds this out soon.”

“Coach Franklin denies that emphatically,” said Hal Hardin, Franklin’s attorney. “People always speculate and gossip. There is no truth to that accusation whatsoever. It’s inflammatory.”
Three other men—including suspended wide receiver, Chris Boyd—were later indicted for allegedly urging Vandenburg to delete the video and deleting the video and photos from their own phones.

In June and July we received information from two sources that alleged many of the same details as featured in the Buzzfeed piece. We were unable to corroborate those details.

So that would be pretty fucked up if true.
