    Super pumped for Syracuse Pitt. If we ('Cuse) win, I might allow myself to believe we have truly turned a corner but if we don't , I don't think its necessarily a sign the we are still the same team from the last few years. But I do desperately want to beat Pitt.

    *fingers crossed*

      Pure madness in Pittsburgh, 3 pic-6s in one half!

        I was about to say Syracuse would have a better chance if it stopped throwing the ball to Pitt.

          The start of the Pitt game reminded me of a game they played against Virginia a year or two ago where Virginia's first two passes were pick sixes. Amazing night from the defense, felt like every other pass in the first was a INT.


          Holstein didn't have to do much but felt off a bit again. Hopefully him being in the tent isn't serious and was precautionary given the score. SMU will be a huge game with Clemson lurking too. Enjoying 7-0 after last year

            ESPN cuts to the Boston College and Louisville mascots doing the Miami U together and then flipping it upside down. Lol, I swear this program puts a curse on some people when it is half decent.

              The Navy coach has a beard, another has longer hair over his ears.

              I thought that was against the rules?

                  There are no dominant teams. I wonder if ESPN and SEC/B1G are going to be happy with this. Both conferences may have 2 teams with 2 losses or more in the championship game.

                  Portal/free agency has killed the ability to be dominant for programs.

                    Stay classy Buckeye fans.

                    I knew that situation with Texas fans in the Georgia game was going to cause other fan bases to try their luck.

                      Can Vandy do it again? Texas up 24-17 heading to the 4th quarter.

                          I've never seen a QB sneak go for 40+ yards.

                            Is there a site that tracks penalty types by team? Miami has to lead the nation in OPI because they are the only team that I ever actually see get called for it and it's a phantom call 99% of the time, too. I need to become an ACC official so I can put in negative effort and be told I'm good at my job by management.

                              Norvell has to be fired at season's end, right

                              $63M is quite the buyout though
