GDT: The official NCAA Football thread

[DaveG]

How much is Texas paying Herman again?

I nearly picked Maryland to pull this upset too. Should have stuck with my usual belief of UT being overrated as hell until proven otherwise.

 

[HisIceness]

I did the same thing, whoops.

Grats to your WVU squad for beating Tennessee.

 

[DaveG]

Wanted to make it down to this one but after that hour weather delay at half kindof glad I didn't.

Was a great thing to see them look that dominant even if the offense wasn't clicking the way it usually should be. At least in the first half. I mean it's amazing that Will missed 2 almost certain TD passes and STILL went off for 5 TDs and over 400 yards.

 

[HisIceness]

Yeah I noticed that. Delayed the Charlotte 49ers game too.

Didn't rain at all at my house though.

 

[DaveG]

It's an absolute shit show up here in Winston right now. Fairly sure all the storms passed north.

 

[Canes]

LOL at Sleezeball Herman. Watch out DC strip clubs.

 

[Canes]

Also just saw the score of the WVU-Tennessee game. Just beautiful, Tennessee’s come back will have to wait. And wait. Also Will Grier is the very early favorite for the Heisman.

It's an absolute **** show up here in Winston right now. Fairly sure all the storms passed north.

My sister and friends went to the game, I had a wedding to go to....

1st half was ugly for us, though the start of the game the Defense was awesome.

 

[Brock Anton]

A shovel pass to a TE, a jump pass, 30 points at halftime, 7 players suspended.

It's 2008 again boys. (I don't care that we were playing against a human chew toy, let me have this)

 

[Unsustainable]

W. Grier - 25 Comp., 429 Yards, 5 TDs
D. Sills V - 7 Rec., 140 Yards, 2 TDs
G. Jennings Jr. - 6 Rec., 113 Yards, 1 TD

Grier putting up numbers early

 

[HisIceness]

lol Miami

 

[Brock Anton]

That was a vintage Mark Richt performance.

 

[HisIceness]

I like Mark Richt. But damn, his teams fold like a cheap tent in big games.

 

[Unsustainable]

 

[HisIceness]

@Unsustainable

Also, go Hokies tonight!

 

[A Star is Burns]

Damn fine game

 

[raynman]

I’m kind of embarrassed to be an ECU fan these days guys

Ditto on the Terps....just couldn't pull the trigger.

Appalachian State
Bonagura: Dollar General Bowl (vs. Toledo)

No thanks.
Two years in a row was enough, even though we won both times.

Would like to see that Cincinnati match-up though.

 

[Unsustainable]

WVU has a legit chance for the Big 12 championship and a playoff bid.

 

[HisIceness]

I’m kind of embarrassed to be an ECU fan these days guys

Why did they fire Ruffin McNeil?

 

[Oogie Boogie]

Why did they fire Ruffin McNeil?

Makes you think doesn't it

 

[Oogie Boogie]

My thoughts exactly...

I really thought we were about to give them something else to talk about besides the Michigan game.

I still don't really like that call to go for a field goal at the end of the game from 56 yards out. I'm positive they could have picked up the 4 yards needed for a first down with Moore or just a quick pass to Hennigan.

WVU has a legit chance for the Big 12 championship and a playoff bid.

Maybe, the championship I think they have a better shot at than a playoff birth IMHO. The end of season gauntlet is going to be brutal even if the Horns are far less of a threat compared to what they were expected to be. Finishing the season vs TCU, @Okie State, vs OU, CCG is going to be TOUGH. Especially with the championship game in Dallas. Have to remain perfect this season despite having a strong OOC schedule just to make it IMHO. WVU won't get the benefit of the doubt that a Bama, UGA, or OSU does. 12-1 has a VERY outside chance of making it if other teams like Washington, OSU, UGA, and the Pederasts are also 12-1.
