Great plan by the Purdue coaching staff to throw a long INT and then come back on D to pick one off at the line.

 

[Brian Fellows]

In the end the plan didn't get them any points cuz Purdue.

 

[chuckddd]

Oh Marshall.

 

[Frozenprince]

Kick us while we're down because we won't be down forever. We'll be back, and you'll always be aggy.

Acting high and mighty when aggie is guilty of far more fukkery than UT ever has been. Just being salty for the sake of being salty. But they'll always be aggie.

[Draxal]

Texas was so bad that I'd consider a loss there in 3 weeks to be almost inexcusable.

We haven't seen stooge since that right? NYC being domer heaven didn't help as well.

At least they played a few away games. Florida now holds the active record at 25. All at home against paycheck teams. Florida also now holds the longest winning streak over an opponent at 28 against Kentucky after Temple beat Penn State.

I guess the kit is trying to keep it simple, as it just says to pitch all the yeast at once and then let it sit at room temperature for a few weeks. We've got a good orchard near us, so I'll probably use their stuff so long as it's preservative free.

What makes good drinking juice is different than what makes the best cider, but I bet the orchard would have some good recommendations if they press the apples for you.

Super unfortunate. We're pretty deep at the position, but this is still a big loss.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Marshall played great.

A little too close for comfort. But, you gotta win the games you are supposed to win, even if you only win by 10. If the Herd was going to convince me they could repeat as CUSA champs, they'd have to run the score up at home against a weaker OOC opponent, but it might be a down year based on what I saw today.

 

[El_Chino]

So as a whole, what Power 5 conference shined the most the first week? I would say SEC, I believe they only have one loss (what the hell Vandy?) Pac 12 and Big 10 were the two worst performers for sure

 

[cashman]

Sounds like I didn't miss much by not watching the Texas game!

SEC was ahead of the game. I think the PAC-12 had some missteps this week and had the worst single-week showing. I wouldn't look too bad at the Oregon final score because that EWU team is no joke.

I still think in general the ACC is the P5 dumpster.

Really? The ACC still has FSU, Clemson and Louisville should bounce back.

 

[Westonian]

This weekend was really bitter sweet. Legendary ending to the Nebraska game only to find out Taysom Hill is most likely done for his career with a broken foot.

On the bright side we saw our freshman QB, who hadn't played in a game in four years (just got back from his Mormon mission to Chile the months ago) look incredibly poised in a huge game in front of nearly 90,000 people. And he killed it!

Our DBs look just as bad as they always have, and the loss of Taysom and Williams has cratered the running game, but we have three huge receivers and a real QB. This could be the start of something great at BYU.

Also, can't believe I'm tied for first in the pick 'em. Really starting to second guess my no cover pick for tOSU.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I still think in general the ACC is the P5 dumpster.

0 for 3 in P5 matchups this weekend, by my count, with a 4th game to go. To be fair, the ACC team was the underdog in all 3 games, so the outcomes were not unexpected, and a loss tomorrow night is also not unexpected.

This is where I go back to the last weekend of last season when the ACC went 4-0 against the SEC just to cheer my ACC-homer self up.

Thankfully, at least the ACC won all its games against lesser competition this weekend. That's not always a given.

 

[Draxal]

Really? The ACC still has FSU, Clemson and Louisville should bounce back.

Louisville being the third best team is a bad thing. Although, Chop Block U is probably the third best team right now.

...

And let's not talk about VPI and tOSU last year.

Welp, one more sleep till our game. Ill be traveling to blacksburg tomorrow, pretty pumped as Lane Stadium night game is on my college football bucket list. Likely wont get to participate during the game in this thread so ill get these out of the way now:

Urban had a scary revenge face in the last interview I saw prior to the upcoming game. Don't think he forgot what happened Week 1 last year ;o

 

[Draxal]

So our student section chants Fuck Penn State now on third downs on d.

However, on TV it comes off as Block that Kick .... it's really confusing to hear that on third down.

 

[Rommel]

Not sure how he caught this...

Pitch rate and fermentation temperature control are the two most important factors, along with good nutrient levels.

And STERILISATION!!!

out of the teams that have played, what are peoples' top 5 teams?

1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. TAM
4. UCLA
5. ???

Notre dame seems to be pretty good, but using Texas as a top 5 barometer is probably not the best idea.

that ND defence was pretty good though. better than their 2012 one IMO.

Yeah, it was always more of a weak record than anything. 351 sellout games in a row is a little better.

That was a hot, stressful, and long game to be at yesterday, but there were a lot of good things that happened at that game and a lot of things that can be improved on. If it had been a Bo Pelini-coached game, we would have never recovered from the halftime deficit. (Love ya, Bo, but when you lost it, the team lost it.) If Nebraska can improve so that all of our drives look like that opening drive on offense, we'll be in a good place.

 

[Fragamemnon]

And STERILISATION!!!

I honestly just swap TCU and Alabama at 2 and 3. The other two teams seemed fine.

edit: I'm going to try to watch more Cornhusker games this year. Seeing a team not play hurry-up is refreshing and once the offensive line gels in mid season they have the backs to really move the ball and open it up for Armstrong who showed some flashes of brilliance.

Also I generally don't go out of my way to give props to Boise fans but this was fab:

One of these things is not like the other.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

UCLA Defensive Lineman Eddie Vanderdoes is done for the season. Pretty big loss for the Bruins.

 

[Silkworm]

At least they played a few away games. Florida now holds the active record at 25. All at home against paycheck teams. Florida also now holds the longest winning streak over an opponent at 28 against Kentucky after Temple beat Penn State.

That Florida streak may be put to the test in 2017 when they play Michigan in Jerry Jones' playground to start the season. Not sure how good either team will be in two years but it should definitely be a tougher test than the Gators season opener next year in Gainesville against UMass Minutemen . ;-)

Big loss. Still going to be a pretty competitive division though, I think. Unless Rosen starts crumbling against better competition.
