Well, at least this quiets the people that were still talking about making it to the conference championship through some magical combination of wishing and prayer.

Tough loss.

What a weird game considering the time of possession.

Give us another victory over the Viles, Lord Saban.

Let the child born after the last Tennessee victory, not see another Tennessee win until after college graduation.

You should get no credit for beating Golden's Miami after FSU beats them. They always quit after losing to us.

Re-empahsizing this, last year the U completely fell apart after the game vs. FSU. They played today like they had lost all will to live, so it might be happening again this year.

edit: Regarding Al Golden and his job-it's a pretty shitty job as big time P5 coaching jobs go. You get EZ talent but have zero support from your school.

Yeah, after about 30 CBS games, I've heard Verne and Gary say every word in the English language.

If the only two home games left on the schedule weren't Iowa & MSU I'd be willing to lay money on the streak ending this year. Next year will be the end instead.

the sellout streak will end one year after it actually does - some booster will buy out the tickets and give them away if it looks in danger at first, but nobody has the money to keep that going forever
 
Thought so as well at first. I enjoyed hearing the crowd's commentary, though.

In a turn of good slash bad news, I got laid off from work. Now I can continue to watch Saturday football, and do God's work after the game.

Yay.

I'm sorry Adam.. You can also push that local candidate that you talked about.

It's all good. I wanted to kill myself after every shift anyway. I actually started crying tears of joy when they let us go. The only thing that sucks is I spent a couple hundred dollars on a headset for the job. Not sure I can get that back.

You don't think this guy does?

Warren is stingy as fuck with his money. Dude still drives his original 56 chevy truck and lives in one of the poorer/cheaper parts of town

He only throws down money when he's going to get more back or some connections. while the sellout streak is cool, it doesn't really have a benefit to him

Yeah, that already happened in the Cally years. I don't think the booster support is as strong as it was 10 years ago so even with boosters buying up lots I think it ends next year without some major improvement.

You roleplay you are Tom Herman at McDonalds?

No, that's exactly how he's seen inside the state. He's very frugal and, at least publicly, doesn't give a considerable amount to in state institutions and organizations.

He also doesn't live out in the ultrarich part of town, which he could easily do. He lives right next to a busy road on the poor side of 72nd

I don't know that we actually have many Northwestern fans here but good game to you all. Your defense played great and if you can find an offense (really liked getting Jackson into space in the passing game) you guys will be pretty good. Best of luck to you guys the rest of the season.
