Kind of like those people that insist on pronouncing Washington "Worshington".

If you're worshing tons, you got dirty clothes in Texas.

[haunted]

Even worse is wyshe.  Make sure you WHYSHE your hands. Haha.

I lost 21 wagers yesterday and won 4. Lmao

My boss is a looeyville grad, so I'm gonna have to walk softly tomorrow.

Miss St destroyed LSU, anyone want Les back yet 

[haunted]

I watched half of that game or so. Wow. Failure on both sides of the ball. 90% of the fan base wants him back I bet. I wish UNC would pay Fedora the remainder of his 5 million contact and pick him up.

How about California beating Mississippi pretty bad? California does have a decent qb though. Crazy, UNC should've had that one too.

Lamar Jackson lost his composure after his receivers started messing up their routes and Clemson D found some rhythm.

I think Alabama and Clemson are still the two best teams in the country. Then there's a dozen other teams that we'll have to see how the season plays out.

I think there's going to be chaos in the pac12 this year, and think it may finally be the big 12's turn to make the play off. Oklahoma State looks really good.

[haunted]

Carolina's Defense is doing very well. The offense not as much. No TD's scored the whole game from either team. I can credit Buffalo's defense some but Carolina definitely isn't performing to their potential in offense. Cam needs to focus on doing his cam newton shit and not celebrating after big plays against san francisco and a team he couldn't finish in the red zone against

I think Carolina will still do well though, at least the defense is great. It's a coin flip if their defense can shut down a quarterback like matt ryan or drew brees on a given day though. I hope Cam realizes that he has to start scoring points soon.

I saw the ESPN College Football Power Rankings and it's the first time I can remember that I agreed with the top 4.

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Oklahoma State
4. Penn State

The top 2 I separate from the others, but those 4 currently look like the 4 teams to beat.

[|iR|Focalor]

Don't forget about Tampa in the NFC South too. They aren't a freebie anymore.

Chicago Bears this year... Jeeeezus. They looked helpless today.

I don't think Alabama is that great this year. They have an easy sched, but they may not end the season leading the SEC West unless they go 12-0. Even if they do take the SEC Championship again this year, Clemson or someone else will beat them in a bowl game.

Or they'll fuckin win it all AGAIN just to piss me off.

Going against my stated personal boycott, I watched the Falcunts vs Packers. Eh, perhaps they won't completely suck this year. They still run outta gas halfway into the 3rd Q though. But as shitty as I wanna think they are, they actually look like one of the most unstoppable offenses in the entire NFL right now... at least in the 1st and 2nd quarters. It's those lazy sloppy homos that steal their uniforms and come out on the field in the 3rd and 4th quarters that they need to take out back and beat the shit out of, because I don't understand how a WHOLE TEAM can go from so hot to ice cold after halftime with that kinda consistency. Are they in the locker room boozing it up at halftime or what?

[haunted]

Yup. Atlanta looked very dominant in the first half. Coupled with Green Bay turning it over, it was a massacre there for a bit. Atlanta has to be thinking about the stamina issue you're talking about. You can't just go ALL fucking out against a guy like brady because he's THE guy who brings it back more than anyone ever. Rodgers is half-way like that too, and they half-way brought it back. So I guess it worked, although as a fan I'd be like what the fuck. Maybe(probably) I'm giving the staff too much credit. Or they're taking shots of sailor jerry's in the locker room at the half. I don't know.

Watching NYG vs Detroit right now.

[haunted]

12:00 left in the 4th quarter. This has been a shitty game to watch, although the punt return for a TD was executed very well.

[|iR|Focalor]

Yeah, Giants fans aren't gonna have much to be happy about this year. That one hit Eli took... fucking clobbered the living shit out of him, haha! He's in for lotsa ice baths this year. Maybe full body traction.

It's encouraging to see that Detroit CAN run the ball sometimes now if they need to. For so long it's been all up to Stafford to pass and scramble for every yard. Dunno how he's put up with that shit this long.

[Sgt. Dick]

Stafford has really improved over the last couple of years.  He is in his 9th season, so I was going to comment about him being a slow learner since he was from Georgia, but then I saw that he was born in Tampa 

[Sgt. Dick]

Maybe the best game of the day will be between the Dawgs - UGA vs Miss St.
Miss St. looked really good against LSU, but can they do it again against UGA. 
I'm not sure who will win this game, it should be good though.

Alabama vs Vandy - Vandy is much better this year, but they are not in Bama's league, Bama by at least 2 TD's.

FSU vs NC St - I think FSU is more talented, but I want to see how they do without their regular QB.  FSU by 10.

Undefeated Duke (that seems odd to say, but it is early) is playing UNC.  Who is playing QB for UNC ?  UNC should win if Surratt plays QB.  If Harris, I think UNC can win if Harris doesn't make to many mistakes.

FLA vs KY - FLA is favored, but I give KY a good chance at breaking the 30 year losing streak.  The FLA defense will not score in every game and without those points FLA is screwed, unless the FLA offense finally starts to contribute.  If the offense can score 20 points a game, FLA can beat almost everyone they play.

[haunted]

Duke has the best coach in the ACC in my opinion. Which is so typical with Coach K in basketball haha. UNC has 7 on the injury list, and it being @ UNC it doesn't mean too much since UNC is only 9 miles away. Duke has the only returning quarterback in the coastal division from last year, and he's good. UNC is lucky for it to be 10-10 at halftime. Duke smoked Northwestern and Baylor.

Miss St VS Georgia, I don't even know. Can't predict that one.

I won some money on NC State covering the spread, and dang, they actually won.

Gotta give an edge to FLA over kentucky. But you never know. The who-beats-who logic isn't working very well now. KENTUCKY>SC>NCSTATE>FSU as an example. Sure, that COULD be true, but I doubt it. It's more like NCSTATE,FSU>KENTUCKY,SC, in my opinion. I think the gators will have it, probably a low scoring game.

[|iR|Focalor]

Maybe the best game of the day will be between the Dawgs - UGA vs Miss St.

I thought it would be close. Jesus Christ. What the fuck happened? Georgia's defense woke the fuck up! 3 or 4 seconds left on the clock with MissSt on the 3 or 4 yd line trying to drive in one last completely futile rushing TD. HELL NAW! DENIED! I approve!

Yeah, sure, I saw it. But I dunno if I believe it. I'm still convinced they aren't good enough to be anywhere in the top 25. But if they can play the same against Tennessee next week, that'll go a long way towards convincing me that they haven't just been "lucky" so far.

But nah, I knew the best game of the day would be the Penn State and Iowa game. I don't think Iowa's ranked at all, but they've been playing much better than their lack of rank would insinuate. And it didn't disappoint either. A fantastic amazing game. I was sooooooo hoping Iowa could hold on to win it and possibly knock Penn State out of the top 10, but it just wasn't meant to be. If Penn State keeps on winning, you KNOW they'll get favoritism tossed their way in the playoff picture and the heisman race too. The dickheads at ESPN would love a Penn State sappy redemption from kid-fucking narrative to inspire us all to be better people.
