2025 College Football Thread: James Franklin decides losing big games wasn’t quite enough (9 Viewers)

Super weird review on intentional grounding in thenPitt Fl State game.

Then they didn’t review it the next play which cost Pitt a down.

 

[Instinctive]

It is stupid hot today here. The Texas OU fans are going to roast. Gonna ask pretty quickly how much they like the 2:30 game time and if Jerry still wants to host it

Don't you live here? It peaks at 89. Almost every time I've gone it's been in the 90s.

That said I do already miss the 11am. Much more fun to go to game or a watch party brunch and then have an after-party and watch the other games.

I mean this is one of those times when Chat GPT comes thru

(not listed in available box/archives) — I couldn’t find an official box score with the temperature noted. If you’d like, I can estimate from NOAA hourly observations for Fair Park at kickoff time and mark it clearly as an estimate.

I mean FWIW your post is formatted terribly.

For two, it doesn't really matter what kickoff temp is, if you want to try and use AI to help you should use it for average temp weighted by time over course of game. For three, if the temp is roughly the same from around 12:30-4:00pm, then who cares what temp the game starts at.

Finally...what a boring world we live in now. I was just stating I think you're a ***** and not a Texan if you're like "oh no it's 90!" when we've had 4-6 college football games already with temps over 90 all game, just like every season, even in Norman.

Ok. It's a horrible stadium to be in when hot. Was built pre climate change and with no clubs and minimal overhang. Kicking the game off at 11 was cooler for much of the event not sure why need that summarized. Was 92 at kick last year and 95 this year and might hit 100 at 4.

This should be the hottest game all time and has a chance at a record high temp for 10/11 at DFW. There will be those asking for the Jerry world move after this game ends.

Texas wanted this at 2:30 sometimes be careful what you wish for.

Yeah. Have been 8 times in the last 15 years. Will go again when my kids aren't under two.

It's always hot. It'll be hot today. Water is wet.

Bama struggling with missou. Missou has the easiest schedule on out in the sec probably. Playoff possibility for sure

Not sure they're very good, but agreed.

I mean he rolled his shoulder under. To me it stays within the spirit of the rule of not leading with the head. Maybe.

Real time it looked vicious, but the replay showed it was shoulder led so good no call

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

I think he got it, but i doubt they overturn

 

[crushedspirit]

Looked too close to call, but haven't see any conclusive evidence to overturn

 

[crushedspirit]

Simpson was clutch on that drive

That 4th and 8 throw vs tight coverage was a dime

 

[whoknew]

Ole Miss better wake up . Kind of sleepwalking today.

 

[Corporation]

I really like him, but he has a tendency to make adjustments way too deep in the play clock. Shocked that Bama has not been able to get more out of WRs today. Mizzou plays hard and with a lot of fire.

When Norvell gets his paycheck every two weeks do you think he wears a bank robber mask?

Williams and Bernard have been invisible. Give Mizz credit as their pass rush has been disruptive all season and today as well.

Game isn't over by a long shot. They have a ton of fight

 

[crushedspirit]

This team doesn't pass downfield but looked good finally trying it.

 

[General Malaise]

Oh Florida State, what is you doin?

 

[whoknew]

Why doesn't Mizzou kick it deep here?

 

[crushedspirit]

Why doesn't Mizzou kick it deep here?

All 3 TO's as well

 

[mr. furley]

Why doesn't Mizzou kick it deep here?

an absolutely baffling decision

 

[Corporation]

Well crap I smell a field rush coming on.

 

[Corporation]

Never had a doubt Great game Mizzou

 

[crushedspirit]

Feisty team that lacks a consistent pass game

 

[culdeus]

This is almost like game is fixed fishy

FSU lays another ACC egg at home

 

[whoknew]

FSU beating Alabama is the weirdest result of the season.

Wait - second weirdest. I forgot PSU choked it up against UCLA.

 

[crushedspirit]

Big early stop on 4th there by IU

The Texas OLine looks like it's gonna be the story of this game.

And Manning looks worse than a month ago. He has no time, to be sure. But the decision-making when a play breaks down, awful. Just making the basic cut-your-losses decision, he has no feel for the game, no anticipation.

He said 'uglier', not 'awesomer'.

 

[irish eyes]

Drew Allar with another stellar game in the making. Man he's bad.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Terrible no call on Oregon PI

 

[heckmanm]

Hoosiers hurting themselves with pre snap penalties but never should have been 4th down

 

[AAABatteries]

******** call

 

[The General]

Some home cooking in Eugene so far.

Some home cooking in Eugene so far.

Who's officiating the game, GM?

 

[General Malaise]

Yeah, that was a horrible no-call. Fair is fair that was a huge miss.

 

[General Malaise]

Nervous

 

[massraider]

Brutal decision there. OU could have had a FG there

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Both halfs end with a clunk

Eta not so fast

This one is not that bad. The worst ones are the high viz

 

[whoknew]

Indiana employing the rarely seen "ice your own kicker" strategy.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Indiana! Nice kick!

 

[General Malaise]

IU gets the ball. Huge FG there.

Man.....

Indiana employing the rarely seen "ice your own kicker" strategy.

What was the point of that TO?

Oregon called that. IU used its last one to set up the kick

 

[General Malaise]

Come on, Oregon. Don't screw this drive up.

 

[General Malaise]

Neat drive.

 

[General Malaise]

Neat drive.

NEAT!!!!! WOOOOOHOOO

 

[General Malaise]

Make up call. Thats fine.
