Still playing. Football player.

being an nc state alumni has to increase your health insurance premiums

 

[HisIceness]

I'm sure Dave is pleased with the result in Pittsburgh.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

GT just scored a spectacular TD.

Miami attempted a surprise onside kick to start the second half. It didn't go 10 yards. Everyone on Miami gave up, and the GT player just picked it up and practically walked into the end zone. A 42 yard kick return TD.

 

[dogbazinho]

I am pleased but this will just lead to some really spectacular NC State shit near the end of the year.

we will win out and then lose to unc on a punt return or some stupid shit

 

[HisIceness]

There were a lot of upsets this weekend. Clemson, Auburn, Washington State, Washington all losers.

Fun fact, since the last time Auburn win in Baton Rouge in 1999, 3 different teams from the state of Alabama. Obviously Alabama, but also UAB (who folded their program not terribly long ago although they are now back) in 2000, and Troy.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Clemson losing means that Syracuse is my new favorite ACC team. On the heels of more chaos this weekend. Current projections mean that @DaveG will be the most hated man on these boards in a few months if they come to pass. Also do I need to add anybody's team to this list? I note Duke isn't there but I'm not sure if we have anybody who is a Duke fan.

It's OK Dave. I was the most hated man in Week 1. You'll come around.

 

[DaveG]

Oh I embrace the hate. We just already play them next season anyway, so why the f*** would we play a bowl game this season against eachother with that being the case?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

dont worry, we have higher aspirations than the camping world bowl vs a bunch of no-teeth hicks from less virginia

USA Today is probably correct. We're looking at a 5-6 season at best right now.

 

[HisIceness]

The "Save Butch Jones job" operation isn't going well.

 

[HisIceness]

Damn, Penn State is good.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

That time again, peeps. According to both of ESPN's prognosticators, Dave will no longer be the most hated man on the board come bowl time, but there will be some inter-mod throwing down between my Gamecocks and Dave's Mountaineers in a throwback to the 1994 CarQuest Bowl.

Thanks for these updates, GP. Is there any place that ranks bowls somehow? I gave up a few years ago trying to follow which was what.

All Bowls > Not Bowl Eligible Bowl brought to you by Losing.com

 

[DaveG]

I still say that at the end of the year, if there's not enough teams that are actually bowl eligible, instead of putting in the 5-7 teams they should just flat out go crazy and match up whatever winless teams are out there in college football against eachother. UTEP vs Georgia Southern: The pillow fight for the ages.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

next two weeks are huge

 

[MinJaBen]

next two weeks are huge

We win the next two...then drop both BC and Wake. Because NC State shit.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

as long as we beat unc then whatever

 

[RodTheBawd]

We win the next two...then drop both BC and Wake. Because NC State ****.

as long as we beat unc then whatever

In all likelihood, that would mean the UNC game would be for the ACC final, which would be awesome.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

no it would be horrible and stress inducing and i would die
