So once again I'll be going up north for New Year's (no cable) and once again there's a whole ONE game on regular TV on January 1. Thank the fuck Christ it's the Michigan game but holy fucking shit, fuck you ESPN.

but a direct hotlink to yahoo in the OP would be nice

 

[Monroeski]

Password isn't working for me. I'm getting a weird error message, though, that both says the password is incorrect AND that there was a temporary problem with the server, so I don't know if it's actually a server issue or if it's an incorrect password with terrible error handling.

This rage against a good man is unbecoming.

I'm not really fond of your head coach criticisms here. Kicking a man when he's down. Grow up! Let go of your hate.

This is very childish. Seriously, get a life dude! ROFL! You're like the James Franklin of forum posters.

Nah, just say scroll down to post 11. Cleaner and faster.

I know what I'm buying all of you for Christmas.

Done.

I'm not sure what the complaints are about the password, when I edit the post I see it, I thought everything was there.

Oh wait, derp. Okay yeah I see the issue.

 

[dskillzhtown]

I love bowl season. Even the most "meaningless" bowls can be entertaining.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Texas Tech is favored against LSU?
Florida favored against Michigan?
New Mexico favored against Arizona?

Yahoo sports pickem has some weird favorites

Must just be listed as home and away even though it's labelled favorite and underdog. I don't care enough to actually check on that but there is no way some of those teams listed as favorites are actually favorites.

Goddamn Cheeto posting the hippie timezone for all the games.

 

[perfectchaos007]

So that's 2 aggy QB's that transferred before the bowl game

 

[GoldenEye 007]

rip aggie

Sumlin has to be done, right?

It's kinda late to hire a new coach ... wow that's really rough.

I pulled it from ESPN, which normally has all the times in EST. So I dunno!

Sumlin the next to get Saban'd?

 

[ag-my001]

I want a behind the scenes expose first, but I'm not happy, nor can I imagine boosters being pleased.

I know we lost a defensive commit or two in the lull before the Chavis hire was finalized. Problems because of OC uncertainty, or something more?

He's going to run out of shoulders to hold all those chips.

 

[squicken]

I've read that Allen and Murray had trust issues with the staff on how they handled injury info and playing time promises. Whatever. Fire Sumlin. This is not something that can be tolerated. I'm sure he'll get another season but the worry is more transfers now, and recruits knowing he is a lame duck

 

[timetokill]

Finally this thread appears.

Some good bowl matchups. I'm ready for bowl season.

 

[Lonestar]

 

[Kevtones]

Kyler Murray almost went to Oregon. Rumor floating he's in Eugene this week.


BUT Oregon's potential QB roster:


1. Jeff Lockie (Senior and not so good)
2. Taylor Alie (playmaker but really average)
3. Morgan Mahalak (4* that apparently can't do shit)
4. Travis Jonsen (4* coming off injury, redshirt freshman)
5. Dakota Prukup (Vernon Adam II and probably the favorite)
6. Terry Wilson (4* freshman who is enrolling in the spring)
7. Justin Herbert (3* from in town - great local kid but a freshman)
8. Tristan Wallace (4* that just flipped from OSU but is projected as an ATH)
9. Bralon Addison (one of the best WRs in the country who is a former HS QB and showed through the season he can probably play the position - darkhorse)

What a clusterfuck.

 

[chicko1983]

just entered the picks.

Fuck I hate confidence ranking my picks.

 

[ag-my001]

Read through a collection of tweets from A&M players. There may be some selection bias, but most don't seem too upset about Kyler leaving. Puts some talk about locker room issues into context.

The only tweet that concerns me said "just tune in to the bowl game, there won't be a difference."

I could use a little difference. About a +20 average points scored difference.

 

[bucknuticus]

Some pretty ass bowl matchups this year

 

[inm8num2]

He's going to run out of shoulders to hold all those chips.

There's always room on Dantonio's shoulder for more chips.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tomorrow's BYU v. Utah game is the only decent bowl game before Christmas. Yes All Mormons v. Not All Mormons

 

[Sirpopopop]

I miss old Popo.

I am new IMPROVED POSITIVE POPO.

Bringing positive energy. Becoming incredibly respected as a result.

 

[RBH]

This schedule may be a little bit easier on the eyes:

 

[cdyhybrid]

Dunno what you guys are talking about, UW v. Southern Miss will be a barnburner.

 

[Lunar15]

Go Gators, burn those khakis.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

USC has promoted Tee Martin to offensive coordinator.

 

[andycapps]

Bama is screwed

Rutgers stole more staff from Ohio State.

This time Chris Parker, assistant strength coach.

How are the OSU fans handling these losses?

Why did the new Rutgers staff miss out on the class of 2016 #1 runningback in the nation when he is in the backyard of Rutgers in New Jersey? He chose another B1G school!
