Unc has Harris at qb?

[haunted]

That 87 yard digression is nuts. Yes, Harris is now UNC's starting quarterback. He got the job an hour after NC's rookie was named starter but was injured. Surrat is WAY better than Harris.

[Sgt. Dick]

Harris has all the physical tools to be good, but he lacks consistency and the mental game to be good.

If UNC has to rely on Harris, I see a off year for UNC 

[haunted]

Harris doesn't follow through with his passes. And it's not like he's good at that technique like Georgia's qb Eason. But even with Eason he's not going to be a starter in the NFL.

Carolina(panthers) did well against San Francisco but cam newton didn't look in the top form that he can be. I'm not a big fan, nor do I dislike him at Carolina. Mainly due to the possible alternatives lmao, then cam is good. But cam is GREAT when he's playing at his best. My favorite player from Carolina and the NFL continues to be Luke kuechly.

Glad I ain't a Bengals fan. Jesus. Andy Dalton couldn't do shit on 3rd down all night. The few times he had TIME to set and throw, either he missed horribly or the receiver couldn't hold on to it. A trainwreck. I guess maybe the Browns appreciate it though, makes them look less incompetent.

I have a co-worker who is a big Bungles fan, when we go back to work on Monday the harassment will begin.

[haunted]

I'm sure y'all saw they fired their OC. I probably would too but I still I blame Andy dalton to a degree. He's a slightly above average qb and gets paid like he's top 5. He has no drive anymore and was an inconsistent qb as it was. AJ Mcaaron isn't as good as dalton but damn, I'm wondering when they're going to put him in to motivate dalton. He's got green, Bernard, and several other offensive weapons. But they never do shit.

Defenses man cover AJ Greene like 99% of the time with their best corner. But thats still not a good excuse in my opinion. He's one of those guys who's sometimes as good as open even with a corner hanging out of his asshole. Dalton just isn't accurate. I can't put ALL of the blame on him though. His protection sucks. Reminds me of the Falcons a few seasons ago. If they don't fix that, Ginger boy is in for a continuous ass whooping until he gets lucky enough to get injured out. Texans were kinda the same too, which is why the score was so low.

[haunted]

Yeah that's true. You would've thought there would've been a difference in ginger's performance after Houston's best corner left the game midway, and then their 2nd best got injured in the 4th but nope! AJ green is just so good that he can pass a lot of his terrible passes. They were extra bad Thursday though haha. Houston's defense deserves some credit, but yeah Cincinnati's OL wasn't doing dalton any favors.

I've been avoiding specifically talking specifics of how much I've won in my wagers lately, because I feel like I'll jinx my success and sound like a big asshole. But, I won again last night(south Florida vs Illinois). I put 1,000 on south Florida to cover a -1.5 spread in the first quarter. Illinois is a terrible team so that prop just screamed at me. Bets that I think that look good today are:

First half: Florida -3.5(vs Tennessee), Clemson -1.5(vs Louisville), UNC -7(vs ODU), Baylor +7.5(vs Duke), Pittsburgh +7(vs okstate)

First half o/u: Baylor Duke under 30.5, Pitt vs okstate under 32.5

That was just at a glance, haven't placed any yet.

Florida pulled one out of the ass today.  The game looked like all of the Florida games, Florida is winning the game through 3 quarters because the defense is carrying them and scoring some points.  In the 4th quarter the Florida defense wears down and Tenn starts moving the ball easily down the field.  A few things saved Florida today - Tenn missed 3 FG's and the Florida offense actually scored a TD, and a 63 yard hail-Mary bomb with no time left on the clock to win the game.

[|iR|Focalor]

Florida ... 63 yard hail-Mary bomb with no time left on the clock to win the game.

Yeah, I just about shat my teeth out when it happened, haha! They took FORRRRRRRRRRREVURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR to get lined up for the next play and wasted 25 or 30 seconds. I was like, "Ugh, you people are fucking retarded." And then runs around and hucks it the fuck up and I'm like, "Nah... there's no way." And fuck me if it wasn't spot the fuck on, lol. Amazing ending.

[haunted]

You're being a little hard on the gaytors. It's usually Tennessee that pulls that shit, and at least it was tied. That 4th quarter was actually entertaining.

Oklahoma state played really well today. Watching Oklahoma, Michigan, and Ohio state struggle against Tulsa, Air Force, and army was enjoyable. Nebraska lost to NIU, another amusing loss.

Clemson's controlling Louisville so far. Ole miss California is a weird game so far.

Herbie calling Louisville "Looeyville" 

[|iR|Focalor]

I call it "looeyville". Lou-uh-ville? That shit sounds too proper. Like someone who holds their pinky out when they fart.

[haunted]

I say it more like loo-eh-ville. Loo-ey sounds like you're hacking up a loogie. And Loo-uh most people are purposely pronouncing it that way for some local pronunciation pride thing. Kind of like those people that insist on pronouncing Washington "Worshington".
