2025 College Football Thread: “maybe we can hire Jimbo back” FSU fan depressingly mutters to himself (9 Viewers)

[Ministry of Pain]

18. South Florida Bulls vs 5. Miami Hurricanes

I hope Miami has not taken the Bulls lightly this week. The longer they keep the Bulls hanging around sorta like they did with Notre Dame, things could get dicey
Canes have more talent but that doesn't always win ball games
They struggled at times running the football on the Irish, if the OL plays up to their preseason hype and abilities, they'll win going away
If the Bulls can make them one dimensional thru the air, I think they have a chance to pull one more upset, Canes notorious for dropping a game like this one

Canes have several in State games the next few weeks , the last one up at Doak in Tallahassee is the one that scares me the most
But let's not look ahead, hope the team is focused and prepared today

 

[AAABatteries]

Go Jackets!

THWG!

 

[AAABatteries]

Tennessee with 230 yards offense and 3 TDs in 11.5 minutes. Love to see it.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Lots of game left, but maybe SEC doesn't go through Athens as I thought. Doesn't look like typical UGA

 

[Joe Bryant]

I'm biased I know but I didn't see anything remotely close to what I've seen from Tennssee and Aguilar today from Iamaleava in all of last season.

I still expect it all fall apart. But wow, this has been incredible to start.

 

[Joe Bryant]

And yes, UT was up 10-0 in Athens last year. Things can change in a hurry.

 

[ChiefD]

Having this new QB over Nico is a massive upgrade. Huge difference in this team so far.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Just walked in the door and didn't expect to see Tennessee putting 21 on Georgia in the first quarter.

 

[AAABatteries]

Nice place call there. Not sure why UT didn’t play it straight and hold them to a FG.

 

[SoBeDad]

Carson Beck could have a great day if USF doesn't get pressure. I need to see more from Beck under pressure to see how high he should go in the draft.

Yeah well as a UCLA fan, it’s been an incredible start of the season for Iamaleava as well.

 

[General Malaise]

Kinda like the Yellow Jackets getting 3.5 at home against Clemson if Haynes King is a full go. Feel like this team could give Clemson fits.

Tenn +3.5 at home over Georgia seems playable to me too.

South Carolina only favored by 4.5 at home over Vandy? Is Vandy for real? I like the Gamec0cks.

And my bias is showing, but I think I have to take South Florida +17.5 over the Canes. Probably just a waste of money, but boy would an upset make me giddy.

Thank you, Georgia Tech!

Let's go, Tenn!

I think bias clouded my eyes on Miami. They might be really good.

 

[bagger]

@shuke doing a great job coaching the Vols against Georgia today.

Good job gb

 

[General Malaise]

Oh lord......shuke is NOT going to like that.

 

[Joe Bryant]

UT with a nice showing. We lose by 2 scores but we showed we can hang with Georgia.

 

[bagger]

Oh lord......shuke is NOT going to like that.

I said good job!

 

[Beef Ravioli Part 2]

The more I see Texas play the less impressed I am with the close game win for Ohio State. UT looks weak!

Ohio State plays Ohio tonight and may be a stronger opponent than UT was.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

So, if you can weather the 20ish scripted plays against Tenn, you should be good. Adjustment abilities have been in stark contrast.

How does Arch look throwing the ball?

 

[Harry Frogfish]

The Kolorado Kardashians seem to be falling like one bad round of botox after another. It was a matter of time after Travis. Man did Deion make out like a bandit riding that kid, including getting his own little rats in on the cheese. All that will be left in that boulder cupboard will be some good soundbites. We Comin is gonna turn into He Goin.

[Capella]

Tennessee won that Nico trade.

Hmm idk maybe this guy sucks too.

 

[General Malaise]

Lets go, Tennessee.....need a nice drive here.

Eh, he made Colorado football relevant for the first time in 30 years. I guarantee you they’re happy with their investment. I don’t think people realize how bad it was there. Like UCLA right now bad but 20 years of it.

 

[whoknew]

That sure looked like offensive PI but ... Go Vols.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Great catch wow

 

[General Malaise]

Lets go, Tennessee.....need a nice drive here.

That'll do.

Brazzell has made himself some $$$$$ this Sept.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Was that not offensive PI?

There was the Mel Tucker year but yeah, this program was horrendous since Oregon beat the brakes off of them in the Fiesta Bowl in 2001.

 

[irish eyes]

Arch Manning having another stellar game lol. 6-17 & a pick against freakin UTEP. Definitely #1 pick material.

 

[Capella]

Was that not offensive PI?

Yea but the refs didn’t want to mess with the vibes

 

[General Malaise]

Prediction: Oregon State fires Trent Bray on a Lubbock tarmac tonight.

How does Arch look throwing the ball?

I only watched a few minutes. In that time there was two passes and both were rushed under thrown incompletions. He did run for a TD.

Currently 8-20 for 96 yards against UTEP.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Got a game here

 

[Capella]

Tennessee has some nice wideouts

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Wow

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Game has been so bizarre

He went on an 0-9 streak at one point.

Local radio was lighting the team on fire at half. Said this far they have the weapons and defense to play with anyone, if only they could throw. Ouch.

 

[Capella]

3 and 8 coward run by Heupel there

 

[General Malaise]

Taking Utah -23.5 over Wyoming and Boston College -14.5 over Stanford.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Beauty of a pass and catch

 

[Capella]

3 and 8 coward run by Heupel there

Gets you every time

 

[Joe Bryant]

I expect they'll lose still but 38 points on Georgia didn't have any cowardice in it.

 

[dickey moe]

Oof on that false start.

 

[dickey moe]

Tennesee's kicker looked like a deer in the headlights before that kick.

 

[Capella]

I expect they'll lose still but 38 points on Georgia didn't have any cowardice in it.

Two cowardly drives in a row. Probably gonna cost them the game. Scoring 38 points is proof they should’ve been more aggressive!!!!!

 

[Corporation]

Man I hate it for kickers, even when it is a team I don't usually cheer for. Just brutal pressure on them.

 

[General Malaise]

Oh man.....that was not close.

 

[General Malaise]

LSU -5 for 2 units

 

[ChiefD]

Heupel iced his own kicker dicking around there. Just bleed the clock and let him kick. He stood there way too long.

 

[msudaisy26]

That Tennessee kicker looks like he is 12.
