Remember, Sherman's personal body guard during the March was the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment.

Case McCoy can't throw a ball 15 yards, and it will lead to a bunch of 3 and outs. Our defense should be winded by the middle of the second quarter, and unless the OU offense shits the bed, I would be surprised if we are only 21 behind at half.
And yes, on most years the game is truly neutral. Its damn near equidistant between Norman and Austin.
The orange side will probably be a bit smaller this year.
I can't recommend going to the game enough. It takes place in the middle of the State Fair, you will have food that you didn't think could and probably shouldn't be deep fried, and forgetting how many damn tickets you have when you just want to ride the probably super dangerous swinging ride.
There is nothing more satisfying then walking out of the stadium and back into the fair after a win.
Also, go to the bar area in Dallas the Friday before. I can't remember for the life of me what its called, but super fun.
Damn son
Atlanta sports is pretty bad right now. Julio going down tanks the Falcons season. I think at this point they start cutting people that they don't think have long term value and trade for draft picks. Season is over already. Might as well go for a top 5 draft pick.

I'm going to be disappointed if it doesn't blow up a little more - there hasn't been a good Pac-12 coaching feud in a while.
I hope it does and it becomes a distraction
Eh, if they can't get focused for this game they deserve to lose. There could be a war breaking out on campus and they still had better be able to focus on the game.
David Shaw is gonna end up making me root for Oregon when they play Stanford if this goes on for much longer. I hate him even more for that.
Mark Richt has lost control of Pac-12 football.

Honest question: Why not?
Work out for the Combines, show stupid numbers that dispel the worries, get paid.
"I did not order the burning of the city [of Columbia, SC], but I am not sorry that it happened."
Bored on a slow Tuesday afternoon at work? I bring you some light-hearted entertainment.
First, watch in awe as Stanford's #49 starts to get up after a play, and as soon as ESPN cuts away, gets shot by the DC sniper (from his jail cell) and goes down in so much pain he can't even take his face off the turf. However, the All-World Stanford medical staff manages to completely dissipate this crippling pain in the short amount of time covered by one play! Incredible!
Next, All-Madden LB (and self-described tough guy) Shayne Skov has a teammate graze his leg while falling down. Although this grievous injury would incapacitate any mere mortal, Skov is such a warrior that he continues running after the play as if nothing happened. Unfortunately, the pain becomes too much to bear, and Skov requires 30 seconds of assistance from trainers on the field, as he (all of a sudden) can't even keep his body from writhing in pain on the field. The incredible training staff manages to cure this crippling ailment on the field, and Skov is able to jog off the field no worse for the wear before coming back in at 100% two plays later.
Will these heroes of the training table come across an injury they can't remedy in less time than it takes to put on a poncho? Find out in our next edition of Shaw's Anatomy, live from Stanford Stadium Thursday 11/7 at 7:00PT, only on ESPN.

Looks like the UW QB also faked an injury. UW looks just as bad as Stanford here.
edit: Except the UW QB didn't miss any plays at all. Way worse than what Stanford did.
Yes, our QB faked an injury in the 4th quarter while we were driving easily on the defense to draw within 3 points with only a few minutes left in the game. Him taking a play off would be key in maintaining the momentum generated during that drive. Unfortunately, he didn't sell it quite well enough because he never missed a play.
He even went as far as missing some throws later in the game to simulate the fake injury affecting his grip.
Unbelievable. Sark is completely shameless.
He saw Shaw having all the fun and wanted to get in on the action. He couldn't help but remember the great time he had in theater class as a young man in high school.

It's going to be hilarious when a UW defender cramps up against Oregon and misses a play or two in the 4th quarter on Saturday. I wonder what Husky fans(and Sark) will say then?
This post is 100% bitterness free.
I didn't see any cramps in there. In 100% of the cramping cases I've seen in my time watching football, they're stretched out on the field. None of that here.
And if UW can't defend Oregon straight up after practicing against an offense that's just as potent all spring/summer/fall, they deserve to lose. It would just be unfortunate because it would mean that Justin Wilcox isn't worthy of taking over at HC once Sark goes to USC.
If they need to fake injuries to beat a team that's been 7-6 the last three years, that's fine - do what you have to do. Just don't act like someone accused you of rape when you get called out on it, especially when you have a history of doing it.

So "faking" cramps would be acceptable?
More acceptable than this. I can suspend my disbelief enough to buy a fake cramp. All I'm saying is do a better job of selling it, and don't be so defensive about it. Own that shit.

You're just setting up excuses for when your team does it and gets called out.
Nope, I'll say the same thing then. They have to actually do it first, though.

Man, with USC the way it is this year, thank goodness for the Dodgers
I'm posting that here because I don't trust MLB-GAF

Find it quite amusing that the national media is going off about our easy schedule. The same people who were voting Oregon number 1 last season where their best win was against a 7-6 USC team.
Im not arguing out schedule isnt crap (thanks B1G), but the double standard is amusing.

Our schedule is most definitely crap, but if we win 24 straight games, that's still an incredible achievement.
Honestly, I'm more annoyed by the suggestion that our schedule is intentionally shitty.

Recommendations for the state fair? Any must have foods or things to do?
Try the fried butter, I hear it's delish.
fried anything really. Except for fried beer, don't get the fried beer.
