Official 2022 college football thread: its conference realignment season. (3 Viewers)

My god, Bo Nix is atrocious. Oregon sucks. This is good for them to endure. Shows how far they are behind a good program. Alarming how big the gap is.

Allow me to make a sweeping generalization too. High school football in Oregon is pretty terrible. I'm a high school official and am in my second year out here and have seen plenty of the big schools now. Compared to the Minneapolis/St. Paul suburbs, these programs are a joke in terms of talent and number of players. And Minnesota isn't exactly a football hotbed.

Not helping Oregon and Oregon State when there's basically no home-grown kids worth much.

A few years ago, the Tampa Bay area sent more kids to D1 than the state of Oregon. They have to pull studs from Cali to succeed.

Tough to build elite speed in Birkenstocks.

ETA it was such a cool, new brand 15 years ago…

Ouch

Wyoming/Tulsa is a fun, bonkers little game.

Wyoming should have won in regulation, but now they’ll lose most likely. Sad.

Going to be tough for them to lose by as much as I need them to.

 

[Mister CIA]

Houston at UTSA is entertaining. 35-35 and heading for triple overtime.

 

[Osaurus]

Dayum. Tulsa kicker missed Pokes get a gift today.

 

[Mister CIA]

Houston QB Clayton Tune is going to be added to a lot of watch lists.

I don't get CBSSN and was SO confused how they scored a two point conversion to win. Forgot the [cough: dumb] new rule.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Thinking I might get some action in the late games, Boise St/Oregon St or Kent St/Washington....anyone betting? What are we thinking?

Took Beavs money line because I think Boise is regressing, but most touts I've paid attention to like Boise plus the points.

 

[General Malaise]

I am so despondent over Oregon. That was a complete undressing.

 

[Capella]

Florida - Utes is a really good game.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Florida - Utes is a really good game.

Rising is Gardner Minshew 2.0

 

[Long Ball Larry]

How can Iowa continue to roll out Brian Ferentz as its OC? I mean - I get that he's the coaches kid, but man. Its just continually terrible.

Iowa/South Dakota State is a thing of beauty.

For those that won't bother checking the box score. Iowa had 1 fieldgoal and 2 safeties.

Has anything ever been more on-brand than Iowa doing this

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Florida - Utes is a really good game.

Rising is Gardner Minshew 2.0

Is he Hispanic?

 

[strykerpks]

Tim Brando just accosted a man in the booth during Jump Around at Wisky. I can never unsee that

 

[Boston]

Dead on...I have been thinking that as well all game long.

What was Rising looking at there

 

[Orange&Blue]

Lol @ Utah and having them ranked 7th

New Coach, new QB…

 

[Jayded]

We’ll, progress for sure. The defense in particular did a really good job for most of the game. Ohio State’s last TD probably shouldn’t have happened with a blown call on 3rd down, so the defense gave up ~14 points? Couldn’t ask for much more than that.

The offense is clearly disappointing still. The Kellyball was on full display in the second half and needs to go. Really disliked retaining Rees and this is exactly why. Kelly’s offense must go.

Freeman will spend the next week answering for Golden’s double safety blitz for the go-ahead TD. ND never recovered and it was a really really bad call and odd timing. Future looks brighter under Freeman, though.

 

[gump]

P12 doesn’t look good but there’s no toad trip tougher than the Swamp.

 

[Orange&Blue]

ND defense is dead tired after their _ffense stank up the field.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuse

 

[BeTheMatch]

Really not a big fan of the shorts as pants thing. These guys evidently don't care about their knee caps.

 

[Capella]

Cuse absolutely pounding Louisville is unexpected. People had Cunningham in as conference POY.

Should've listened to your advice, I didn't bet anything.

Huge talent disparity. That's one reason Mario Cristobal left. In Miami, he has a chance to compete for the best talent.

 

[FairWarning]

Michigan had to like what they saw in the ND-OSU game. Few teams ever go to Columbus and slow the tempo down.

That was one of the bigger surprises. I didn’t see Louisville getting held down like that.

Yeah. It’s dumb.

Oregon is 7th in the country in talent from recruiting rankings. Granted UGA is #2 but the gap isn’t as big as what we saw yesterday.

Unfortunately, it probably is. UGA's backups would be a top 10 team

I think the UO coaching staff owns partial blame. Tosh Lupoi was a great recruiter at Bama…but not a good DC. Jury’s out big time on Lanning.

Also made the baffling decision to hire FSU’s OC when

A) he didn’t call plays at fsu
B) fsu was terrible
C) he missed out on a bunch of recruits

No idea why Lanning hired him.

Feel good football story…

Jake Moody, the PK for UofM was on my son Jack’s baseball team that I coached for 10 years. He’s using his NIL to donate $300 per FG to Mott hospital where Jack received most of his treatments.

I had a friend that was personally impacted by pediatric cancer. So it's very true to me, and I just kind of want to help out as much as I can.

Was wondering if he was talking about your son. GB

 

[mr. furley]

interesting choice FSU

 

[Capella]

interesting choice FSU

Definitely right decision; wrong play call.

 

[Capella]

FSU looks competent. Big step.

 

[facook]

LSU surprisingly crappy.

 

[psychobillies]

LSU surprisingly crappy.

Right?

 

[sho nuff]

Yeah. Now no way to argue that targeting call.

 

[facook]

LSU surprisingly crappy.

Right?

Also, apparently, dumb.



[But not as crappy as Oregon. Sigh]

 

[Capella]

LSU interim coach Ed Oregeron

 

[Orange&Blue]

Trying to decide if LSU offense is that bad or FSU defense that good.

 

[Desert_Power]

LSU surprisingly crappy.

Nobody would ever expect a Brian Kelley team to perform poorly in a big game. Didn’t he do this vs FSU last year?

Everything I heard for the last several months was how terrible O was, and how Kelly would take the "talent" to new heights. Expected this SEC powerhouse to crush the ACC also-ran to the wood-shed.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Wow terrible to blow the whistle there, as he was so obviously short on the first view.
