I was thinking, I picked against WKU, how did I get points? Looks like they won by 3 though so I got lucky with the no cover pick.

Ready for the Battle of the Brothers tonight. Props to the NO COVER homies on the game, we've been a huge scare (or upset) for Utah the last two meetins since Gary Anderson pulled the program out of the dumpster.
Hope everyone brought their own ginger ale and root beer, going to be a fun game.

Yeah, La Tech scored a TD with 30 seconds left to lose by 3 instead of 10, which screwed all of the "cover" picks.
Such is life.
I think he was a really class act. He got put up in a shitty situation. He also dealt with the the most extreme irony in the Missouri game where, after having a horrible game and having a pretty great touchdown pass dropped by a key wide receiver, he had to go out on injury leaving Harris to come in and throw a miraculous, nonsense throw off of his back foot into quadruple coverage which got caught for a touchdown by the very same key wide receiver that dropped the ball earlier.

I wish that guy the best.
To be honest, I don't even hate Muschamp. Do I want him as my head coach? No, but I don't bear much ill will.
I group Muschamp with guys like Kiffin, Chizik, Petrino... wouldn't want them as head coach, but consider them to be excellent coordinators.
Always interesting to see if transfer QB's excel in different systems, or if it's just their own fundamental problems that hold them back.
Honestly as much crap as I gave Driskel, the guy had how many QB coaches during his time there? Multiple systems he had to try to learn and people teaching him different techniques.. it's not surprising that he's doing better in a new system, on a lower tier.

I sort of felt like the receivers and everyone associated him with failure as well so they didn't try as hard.
I made the same face as Driskel on that play lol
The funny thing to me is that when Muschamp started accepting that it was all over, he got real down-to-earth fast. He always was, but the illusion of having to keep up the appearance was gone. His sense of humor started coming out more. It's a shame he never really did well enough to hit that stride earlier.
Florida is starting their 9th different QB since 2009 this weekend. Keep that in mind when Driskell is brought up. Like I said, that program has been in a state of flux for a number of years now, so it's not all his fault. That said, I think he was vastly overrated coming out of highschool.

Speaking of Mr. tOSU, that gives me an idea.
Everyone post the most embarrassing example of your school's fandom that you can find.
The infamous turkey leg/waving song combo:

That's right Baylor. We were so bored with beating your asses that some of us didn't even stop eating while celebrating.

Probably this, or the dumb redneck part of the fanbase that didn't go to the school and can be obnoxious towards the end of tailgating. Small percentage of the fanbase, but tend to be overly loud and annoying to everyone.
Truth. Superfans are bad in almost any context (see Fireman Ed) but it always adds an extra layer of pathetic-ness when they're living their dreams through kids just out of high school.These fuckers:

Good one!
Serious question: does anyone in Nebraska have that affected hick accent he uses?
Goddamn it you beat me to it.
Hell no. The accent he uses while "in character" isn't even his actual accent. He still has a bit of an accent but I'm not really sure where that's from. He's from the very southeastern part of Nebraska though so they might get some accent bleed from Missouri down there. You can search for 'Nebraska Accent' on YouTube and see that, in general, we're mostly accent free outside of some remote rural areas. The General American accent that's considered "accent free" and most news broadcasters, actors, etc. use originated in Eastern Nebraska & Iowa.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
At least Larry the Cable Guy is better than Toby Keith. Jesus, what a fucking asshole.

That's a crazy, crazy stat. That said, Grier is our best option right now, with a small package for Treon (a la Leak and Tebow).

It is. Blew my mind when I saw that earlier. Explains a lot too.
About Grier, I don't know much about him so I'll take your word for it. They've got real talent problems on offense at Florida across the board, so I'm almost of the opinion that it doesn't matter who they put at QB.

Finebaum picks the Creamsicles to beat Oklahoma by 3?
Hmmmm...
Well, neither looked amazing last week, so it'll be interesting. I guess it depends on whether this is considered a "big" game by Stoops.

Sucks for the Utah State player, he was clearly trying to pull his head back to not hit helmet to helmet but didn't manage it.
Wow, great catch.
Wow, great catch.
There's a reason both guys got the play time last week. I personally think Grier works better for the majority of the snaps, but his talent isn't light years ahead of Treon's. It's a bit of a toss up, like you said. My analogy to Leak and Tebow is probably the best way I can think of to sum up not only their styles but how their play time should be split while they share duties.

He's a really good kid and wasn't trying to hurt anyone, BUT it's better for the sport overall that targeting is called liberally. It's not always fair but it ensures that there's no confusion over what constitutes targeting.

So watching gameday final last week (and just reminded during that bump) Adnan Virk is maybe on of the most boring people ever. I used to really like gameday and would stay up and watch it mainly because of how stupid it was, but in a good way. Last week's was just so boring, Adnan brings 0 energy to the show.

Liking this aggressive end of half play from USU.
And it results in a TD, nice.

If Chuckie Keeton can dual threat like that all year we can contend Boise for the MWC title.
