Louisville may be the best 3 loss team in football right now and they aren't even SEC

they are the only 3-loss team in div-1 CFB at the moment!

 

[Dsyndrome]

Good job Clempson.

Well, one of their losses was to an SEC team, so they're really something like 0-2-1.

We all got Clempsoned.

[cdyhybrid]

So far this season:

-The Cougs got out-Couged
-Clempson got out-Clempsoned

And we're only in week 3!

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

YOU GUYS KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING INTO.

Wait until you have to pick the Clemson/ND game.

 

[FelixOrion]

Felix was the only one who picked No Cover. He's looking like a genius right now.

Just saw the recap.

GODDAMN IT CLEMPSON

 

[Monroeski]

I really kind of want to pick Texas but I just can't do it.

Quoting myself so that maybe I'll remember to start thinking about Clempson the same way in the future.

For the love of God I picked them to win their division.

We're technically first!

Which team is better, Louisville or Arkansas?

It is pretty funny now to see Grantham struggling so much as DC at Louisville. Opponents are converting on 3rd downs (AKA 3rd and Grantham) 43% of the time. That's 101st in the country. Yikes.

So the guest picker on Game Day this week (Ole Miss at Alabama) is noted musician, life long Alabama fan, and the state of Alabama's favorite son, Eric Church.

What the fuck, ESPN? :|

Could be worse, could be Kenny Chesney.

Spoiler

I actually like Eric Church

 

[chaosblade]

I've been trying not to think about that game.

The more I think about it the more it feels like Ole Miss simply has advantages everywhere. Except the run game. Secondary and Coker are going to have to play lights out to win this one.

I'm assuming he's a country music guy, and I hate country music.

I don't really care what he does, but ESPN seems to go out of their way to pick people with absolutely no affiliation with UA when they're in Tuscaloosa for Gameday.

I mean, look at this:

2010
Bobby Bowden - Penn State at Alabama

2011
Brian Wilson - LSU at Alabama (LSU alumn)
Bo Jackson - Alabama at Auburn

2012
Lolo Jones - Alabama at LSU
Matt Ryan - SEC Championship: Alabama vs. Georgia

2013
Lyle Lovett - Alabama at Texas A&M
Jake Peavy - LSU at Alabama (baseball player who never played at Alabama)
Charles Barkley - Alabama at Auburn

2014
Katy Perry - Alabama at Ole Miss
Marcus Luttrell - Mississippi State at Alabama
Joe Namath - Auburn at Alabama (finally someone associated with University of Alabama)

The past five (now six, counting tomorrow) times they've been in Tuscaloosa, they've only had one guest picker who had anything to do with Alabama, and that was Joe Namath last year. They even had a fucking LSU alumn in 2011 for the "Game of the Century" when Game Day was in Tuscaloosa.

Just to make you feel better, we'll be starting 3 freshmen there tomorrow: Marlon Humphrey, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ronnie Harrison.

Sleep well tonight!

 

[Mac the KNife]

Missed one!

Again!? Argh gotta stop doing this on my phone.

BYU vs. UCLA (-15.5) NO COVER

hehe, yep, ESPN always finds a way to find people with no connection.

Now, Deontay Wilder might not have gone to Alabama, but you'd think the heavyweight champion of the World (and is from Tuscaloosa) might be a better choice than random musician. Who I have never heard of. He's probably a fucking "country" singer.

Hell, let the Wildling Girl from Game of Thrones chose.

Bobby has a connection to Alabama. Unless you weren't including him. But you bolded him. You're so confusing. Dagummit.

Yes, he's country music, but he's not quite like what most people think of these days. He says fuck and shit in his songs and looks up to the old types like Waylon Jennings, George Jones, etc and dislikes most of the current crop of Nashville country stuff.

Shame that Gameday is coming for the Ole Miss game and not the Bama/UGA game in Athens, but I guess that's because Ole Miss hasn't imploded yet

Spoiler

insert joke about UGA imploding here

. SEC Nation will be in Athens, though, for the Bama/UGA game.

Followup to this post, Coach Boom's defense at Auburn is allowing opponents to convert on 3rd down 48.5 % of the time. That ranks 114th nationally. So yeah, I'd like to hear the preseason prognosticators spin that.

To the state, sure. To the University... Come on, now.

He did go there you know. For a lot longer than your average Alabama fan!

 

[Jhriad]

Not looking forward to College Gameday tomorrow. If that LP segment airs I'm sure it'll be a tough one to watch.

Missed one!

Weird. Not sure how that slipped by me.

Stanford vs. USC (-14.5) NO COVER

One semester! He can pick Samford or FSU games, but shouldn't be the "guest picker" for Alabama.

Namath was the only alum drunk enough to return.

 

[Meier]

I think tonight will be pretty close but I'm all in on pickem. 16 points on FSU.

 

[Affeinvasion]

I'm attempting to go 3 for 3 in losing my locks of the week.

 

[ag-my001]

Something seemed off with yahoo. It listed Fresno as the favorite over Utah. Couple others, too, where the % seemed reverse of what would normally be expected.

In other words, I can't be bothered to look up each team, so I'm likely making some really dumb picks.

Can FSU stop the dive play?

Addazio seems like a solid hc.

 

[Yaboosh]

Holy fuck Golson just DESTROYED a lineman with a block. Lol.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Hahaha, that block by Golson was fantastic.

 

[Nialrot]

Holy fuck Golson just DESTROYED a lineman with a block. Lol.

Literally was up screaming lol

 

[Yaboosh]

I think we are the only team in college football that hands the ball off to a fullback.



Rudolph caught the ball a bunch! Hallelujah.

Great drive.

 

[Meier]

Very nice opening drive. Clinical.

 

[Yaboosh]

That looked a little like launching to me.

Terrible tackling form. Ducked his head and lunged.

 

[Meier]

Well, at least we got them to use a timeout on a 3rd and 24 for us. The positives!

 

[pxleyes]

Addazio seems like a solid hc.

Straight off the Meyer tree. I've heard that pregame speech before.

 

[Yaboosh]

No view of the ball. No way that gets overturned.



Pretty nice scramble to salvage a terrible drop by Golson.



That was a poor idea to pass that ball.



Oh man Golson, that was heart stopping.

 

[TS-08]

Spin moves are so hot right now.

 

[Fragamemnon]

That was one of the most intense scrambles I've seen this year. Nice run and A button moves.

 

[Yaboosh]

Plays are getting blown up left and right.



First good punt I have ever seen from that kid.


They keep setting up an unbalanced line and then running to the weak side. But we aren't shifting people over to the strong side. So they should stop that.


We are going to lose several games this year because nobody can catch the ball.

 

[Meier]

I straight up yelped when it looked like he was going to be sacked for the safety. Guy got to him absolutely instantly. Amazing to get away from two defenders.
