Pick'em Stuff:

So this year, following the feedback from last year I've slightly changed the way I do the Pick 'em. I'll be dropping the worst 2 weeks for each person. This way you can still come back even if you miss a week and also hopefully it means people won't just stop participating the last few weeks.

So here is the full sheet from Week 1:

Here's the running total over 1 week:

Keep it up Miami. Acc is ours for the taking!

I categorically object to Liberty University getting a positive shout-out in the thread title.

Gotta rep my semi alma mater. However, I in no way condone the peddler of lies that is Jerry Fallwell Jr.

Liberty
NC State
Alabama

You really are mre.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

UCF/Memphis officially moved to Friday night due to Irma. Was planning on flying from Dallas to see it. Oh well, they did what they had to do. Hopefully the winning streak vs Memphis can be extended to 10!

 

[Quake1028]

Noted mid-major Miami heading to Arkansas State this weekend for a true road game. Gutsy.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

GO BLUE.

 

[Mac the KNife]

GO GREEN.

 

[Ourobolus]

I'm constantly fighting the opposing thoughts of wanting to watch Ohio State suffer and for the Big Ten to actually stay in the rankings

 

[Randolph Freelander]

GO HOME

 

[Haloid1177]

The fact all the important games are on at the same time isn't fucking fair. What do I watch!

Oh yeah go LSU whoop up on Chatanooga or whatever cupcake you scheduled.

 

[Lonestar]

What idiot gave Ohio State a first place vote?

Eric Hansen, Notre Dame Beat Writer

 

[cdyhybrid]

Big game against the mighty Montana Grizzlies this week.

 

[ChuckHoneywood]

Nice! I was wondering if there was a God's Sport thread on GAF.

 

[Chris R]

Great week 1

Shame there are no more sunday/monday games for some time

 

[andycapps]

Eric Hansen, Notre Dame Beat Writer

He's an Ohio State grad, as well.

 

[Battlezone]

Let's be real here- there are only four games that matter this week, and all four kick off within 1.5 hours of one another.

WHY DO THEY DO THIS.

This is a major downside to Playstation Vue and the like vs. cable-I have no easy way to flip between all of these games. This was a problem last weekend too-at least the WatchESPN tvOS app allows for a 4-up view, which is nice. #firstworldproblems

 

[ag-my001]

I enjoyed this from the Meltdown thread:

"Sumlin threw the game away, not because he wanted to, but because he had to. What’s the only way to stop the Aggies late season collapse and choke? You do it all in the first game. He’s actually playing 5D chess right now"

 

[MugiwaraCole]

He's an Ohio State grad, as well.

A drunk too, apparently.

It is pretty trash. They'll just eat into each other's ratings. I'll probably only get to watch Alabama's game this Saturday afternoon anyways, though. Gonna be out and about all evening. Ugh.

 

[Sirpopopop]

Ready for Rutgers to destroy Eastern Michigan University.

The refs robbed us against Washington, but we are a strong team and we'll keep on fighting. Chris Ash is an unbelievably amazing head coach. Top notch OC in Jerry Kill. Lots of excellent experience and adaptability.

Meltdown was A+ this week between delusional Baylor folks, self-hating Aggies, and Texas finally admitting that they are Kansas.

 

[Lonestar]

For the new topic:

Week 1 Meltdown Time: The Lone Shart State edition

Yes, this is Liberty's QB, Buckshot Calvert.

 

[pxleyes]

Go away Irma!

"Who would play for this team if they can't rape?" Man.

 

[Lonestar]

Them Texas Sports boards are foul, have been for years.

 

[Battlezone]

Yes, this is Liberty's QB, Buckshot Calvert.

this is what I always imagined threeballz looked like except with more purple

[Jeff-DSA]

Utah at BYU this week. I don't know why or how, but BYU opened as a 1.5 point favorite. I would love nothing more than for BYU to win, but I am not very optimistic right now. Our offense didn't cross the 50 against LSU a single time. WTF?!

 

[Quake1028]

.

I'd laugh, but we somehow lost to that team. So instead I will cry.

 

[ag-my001]

Them Texas Sports boards are foul, have been for years.

I was pleasantly surprised by the restraint shown by the A&M quotes. I guess now that Charlie Strong is gone, we are far and away the most advanced in the five stages of grief. The Arkansas game will likely bring 99% of the fan base into "acceptance".

 

[perfectchaos007]

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez at a Notre Dame game. Why tho?

 

[LionPride]

I'd like to mention that we still want Butch fired

That is all

 

[shandy706]

Not so sure my Tigers should be #3.

Also surprised Auburn isn't ranked higher for "ratings".

I still think Ohio State sucks. Not even top 10.

 

[ryseing]

That is all

Good ol Rocky Top

Rocky Top, Tennessee

 

[Slo]

2 wins for Minninois! The road to 10 continues!

 

[TheLetdown]

I'm counting an assist for myself on the title.

Gotta keep my GAF stats up.

 

[ChuckHoneywood]

Go away Irma!

Yeah. Orlando here.
I'm just trying to have the wife not freak out

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I think, as a show of good faith, we should voluntarily end the Florida and Miami football programs to show Irma that we are serious about achieving a peaceful solution to this conflict.

 

[pxleyes]

Yeah. Orlando here.
I'm just trying to have the wife not freak out

2 year old and 1 year old here. Freaking out is in our nature now.

 

[Affeinvasion]

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez at a Notre Dame game. Why tho?

They're just following in the footsteps of the all-time greats like Bon Jovi.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

OP forgot this headline:

 

[Ganhyun]

OP forgot this headline:

What?


lol

 

[GoldenEye 007]

What?

Briles. Sumlin. Possibly Herman. It's possible!

Unsure if this means y'all are trash or is just a product of y'all playing an Aranda coached LSU defense. Y'all might be fine.

Also might not be.

They struggled the week before too.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Yeah, the offense looked limp against an FCS school and then outright awful against LSU. Even in down years, BYU has never struggled to move the ball. This is, uh, worrisome.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

OP forgot this headline:

Squicken pls

 

[Lonestar]

That website has a solid podcast about the Aggie's performance

Just listen to it instead of tomorrows podcast

 

[ag-my001]

GoodBullHunting does good work for all the non-TexAgs crowd. They're the only A&M fan site I'll read.
