Looks like it. Awful.

Ksyrup 11-18-2023 06:19 PM

Down 14-0 to a team that has played 1 FBS team in its history and then lose a school legend on senior night with a chance to win a national championship. This is unbelievable.

Ksyrup 11-18-2023 06:20 PM

I'm so sick to my stomach I could throw up.

Ksyrup 11-18-2023 06:22 PM

The crazy thing is Travis has barely run this year except when they've absolutely needed it, and then he breaks his leg against North fucking Alabama.

GrantDawg 11-18-2023 06:23 PM

The back up looks like a wide receiver.

GrantDawg 11-18-2023 06:29 PM

Man, Auburn just got spanked by New Mexico State.

GrantDawg 11-18-2023 06:31 PM

Nov 26th 2022: New Mexico State goes to Liberty and beats Hugh Freeze 49-14.
Nov 18th 2023: New Mexico State goes to Auburn and beats Hugh Freeze 31-10.
I don’t know what the hell he did to the Aggies, but they have never forgiven him for it.

Ksyrup 11-18-2023 06:31 PM

I don't care how bad Tate Rodemaker plays, I was at Louisville last year when he came in for an injured Travis and played out of his mind in the 2nd half to win a game we absolutely should have lost. He played a small but crucial part of changing the trajectory of FSU starting last year.

But yeah, these next few games are going to be an audition for next year. He'll be a senior and the only QB on the roster with any real time on the field.

And paid NMSU $1.8 million for the pleasure.

What the hell's wrong with you?

Anyway, I guess since it's the CW, they give no fucks about showing his injury multiple times, including the dangling ankle/shin coming back from halftime. Come on.

cuervo72 11-18-2023 08:01 PM

"Atticus Sappington" is a real person's name.

JPhillips 11-18-2023 08:22 PM

The playoff committee is hoping that FSU loses before the playoffs.

I'm watching Florida-Missouri on ESPN and they've shown the injury multiple times. Very surprised they did.

Ksyrup 11-18-2023 10:04 PM

Just seeing the UCLA/USC score. I keep reading that Chip Kelly is a dead man walking. I suppose UCLA should have fired him like A&M did Jimbo before he pulled off a good win against a rival.

Ksyrup 11-18-2023 10:17 PM

So FSU/UF next week looks like backup QB vs backup QB.

bronconick 11-18-2023 10:22 PM

So like 1998, but worse.

Ksyrup 11-18-2023 10:37 PM

heh people say that to me a lot lately. there are no answers

And I really didn't know what you guys were talking about as I hadn't watched anything. I was just reacting to the humorous sounding overreaction to it and the notion that yet ANOTHER big player has a season ending injury in a month of extreme season ending injuries...

But then I went and found the video. Wow....that was yukky. That just doesn't happen. Either that guy doesn't drink enough milk or he was tackled by a superstrength alien. Either way it reminded me of that equally yukky kickboxing video I saw long ago.

yeah surprsisedc for sure. Surprised I found it on youtube as well.

JonInMiddleGA 11-18-2023 11:44 PM

GT beats Syracuse ... who effectively played without a QB, rotating direct snaps to a TE and a RB.

The TE went 14/14 passing for 59 yards.

Ksyrup 11-19-2023 07:49 AM

Finale on the CW next week - Wake vs Syracuse! Must-see TV.

FWIW, I'd give him one more year. Last year, QB and RB got hurt. This year, both OC and DC are new. IMO the DC was no big loss but it's clear the OC was.

And that's the end of Dino Babers at Syracuse.

Not surprising, he certainly got plenty of years there, but, I doubt the next coach will be even as modestly successful as he was there.

HerRealName 11-19-2023 01:19 PM

This Panthers defense is playing the dumbest game of football that I've ever seen.

So how many feet does Lincoln Riley have out the door? It's been clear he's been checked out for a few weeks, but I can't imagine any scenario in which he come back to USC after the way he's mailed in the last half of the season.

Where would he even go? If you can't win more than 7 games with a generational talent at QB with USC, what are your options?

Yeah, not sure you're going to get much of an upgrade there. I like Dino for turning Eastern Illinois around so hopefully he gets an OC job or something.

Looking forward to OSU vs Michigan next week

GrantDawg 11-19-2023 04:59 PM

I was thinking about that yesterday. It is always a big game, but it feels really big this year.

I usually only root for Michigan when they are playing OSU or ND. But this year, in light of the cheating scandal, I'm forced to root for Ohio State. UGH.

Doesnt matter who wins, they get a loss the next game. ;)

Edward64 11-21-2023 11:06 AM

Classy. Wish him best in the future.

Quote:

"I have been overwhelmed by the support from my teammates, coaches, the Florida State community and those all around the world," Travis wrote in his statement. "Although the injury ... marks the end of my Seminole playing career, the great memories created here at FSU will never fade.

"Being the quarterback here at Florida State University has been a dream come true. I am humbled, honored and forever grateful. The journey this team set out on is not over yet as all of our goals still lie just ahead. I am excited to be by my brothers' sides every day as we continue our attack. We're all we got, we're all we need. Job's not finished. Go Noles!"

This is how it starts and the next thing you know, it's 2 seasons later and you've turned into one of those douchebags that dress up in OSU gear with painted faces.

This isn't a risk you should take.

I was at Iowa a long, long time ago and one of those guys approached us and asked us if we wanted a picture with him. We declined and he sulked away. He smelled horrible.

Idaho City, Ohio?

miami_fan 11-24-2023 11:19 AM

All right tarcone. I am watching Iowa football for the first time all year. It is kinda weird to hear the announcers talk about the punter like he is an SEC running back with 300+ carries.

miami_fan 11-24-2023 11:24 AM

Dola, I don't mean that as a shot btw. Just a comparison with the way I remember the commentary of the punter from SDSU a few years ago.

tarcone 11-24-2023 01:19 PM

There was a hype video for Taylor that mirrored Joe Burrow coming out of the tunnel on senior day.

I took the over on this game as part of a 4 best teaser, which meant the over only had to exceed 19. 4th quarter and total is 20 right now, this is not modern College Football LOL.

miami_fan 11-24-2023 01:57 PM

I think the defender's head was bent so much that it could be argued that the back of the helmet made more contact with the offensive player than the crown of the helmet.

I can't lie. I am sort of enjoying it. I like Iowa's running game and Preston* has thrown a few good balls for Nebraska. It would be better if it were on grass and we had a few more weather elements involved but it is a good game to have on in the background.

* Something told me that parents who named one of their children Brock were not naming another child Chubba so I had to check and well Preston just seems more appropriate.

bronconick 11-24-2023 02:08 PM

Love the 2 dudes celebrating wearing a "Punts" sweatshirt

tarcone 11-24-2023 02:27 PM

And THAT is Iowa football

10 wins with the worst offense in CFB

bronconick 11-24-2023 02:36 PM

It’s going to be so amazing when Washington and Oregon fans roll into Iowa city and Madison next Oct/Nov for 9am Pacific kickoffs and suffer through games like this

Ksyrup 11-24-2023 02:41 PM

The hangover before the hangover.

Ghost Econ 11-24-2023 04:41 PM

The previous high for wins in a season by a team that averages under 250 yards a game: 4.

It's amazing they continue to hit the under no matter how low it goes. I pray they get Utah in a bowl and set the o/u at 3 just to see if they can do it.

bronconick 11-24-2023 09:55 PM

Michigan St. 2nd half drives

3 plays, -13 yards

3 plays, 1 yard

3 plays, -11 yards
