Kansas showing some spark, in the RZ again tied with GT. i forgot Chuck Long was the OC architect of that 3 point effort last week. oooof.

option football still gives me a chubby. pretty active ground for KU, after last week and being KU.

edit: much much later, "ground" should be "crowd". weird.

Florida

South Florida is up 7-0 over Florida....early in the first. After their slow start this season, I'm wondering if their past success was due to Tebow or Urban, and that Urban might not be the coach he's been hyped up to be.

And Minnesota is getting beat by South Dakota. Geez, just how bad is Minnesota?

i guess maybe jon was right about Brewster. he's got Colorado (state, not CU) ties and was well thought of around here.

Minnie just fumbled it away...SD up 21-10 going into the half.

Boy is Minnie bad.

In the Pick'Em, I had a last minute change of heart, and went with USC to cover, and dropped East Carolina.

From this, I can just about guarantee that USC won't cover, since ECU is up by 1000 points.

i do love the mute button. it usually takes me about a quarter of Dave Lapham (or usually any other "team") to remember it's there. rock a little tunes, watch the game.

Wake and Duke: 35-35 at the half. now, 3rd.

Sparty gonna need to get to work if they are going to cover the 28.5 or whatever against Schnelly and FAU.

No shit, and it looks like half the pick 'em game took GTK, including yours truly. Congrats to 'spray for going the other direction.

How the hell does a team that can only muster 3 points against a D-II opponent light up the 16th ranked Yellowjackets for 28?

Ponderous.

you should see Colorado. down 31-0 at the half. had a first and goal that went backwards 30 yards (!) on penalties....then miss the FG. with 11 seconds left in the half, CU QB attempts a left handed (he's a righty) overhand shovel pass thing after being flushed from the pocket that goes pick six for Cal the other way. score is closer than the game. it's truly awful football.

OU's D is doing a great job on Ponder, right now.

I agree with 'Spray on all points. Good call.

Papa Willie wrote:Obviously, Va. Tech is beyond being shitty.

You are being generous Spray. This is the worst I have felt about this team since 1998 when they lost at home to Temple. I believe they were ranked #14 at the time and Temple had never won an away game as a member of the Big East. It was the last Tech game I ever attended. I was so pissed. I currently look back fondly in that day.

The only solace I take in this loss is fucking over Boise State, and that barely moves my peepee.

Yeah, the "Granola Bowl" is a fucking trainwreck right now. Guess I might be watching a little more of these other games than I'd planned. I think CU might have more yards in penalties than offense right now.

Holy Heyward, Batman!!

The game was given to them, plain and simple.

It must be obvious even to the CU coaches that they're just logging time until they're unemployed. Is it really that hard to coach offensive players to go ON the snap count- not before, not after, but ON the snap count? Funny that other teams seem to manage it reasonably well. And if the coaches can't be bothered to coach, the players seemed like they didn't even have the remotest clue what they were trying to do or why they were even there. It's almost exactly like the way things were 30 years ago when You Know Who was fucking things up at Boulder College
