And that's how you start a season y'all

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

We made it boys.

CFB is back.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Wow, first upset of the season and it's only game 1!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Disappointing lack of needless surprise onside kicks this year tbh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

ESPN, get your act together! If they lined up like that for the 2pt conversion, show it live!! Although I don't think that was planned. Norvell clearly was calling for the PAT just before

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wow. That was a heck of a FG to end the half.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I am in awe of that kick. Looked like it would have been good even further out, too, maybe up to 65 yards

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Suck it, Noles!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Do not like the 2-minute warning TO. If you want to be like the NFL, make the ad breaks shorter!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Tech came to play today.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Do I dare to dream that FSU will fuck themselves over in Week Zero? 🤣

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is this the game in Dublin? I was forced to watch part of a Pat McAfee live broadcast from Ireland yesterday while waiting for my lunch to be cooked.

I don’t have any thoughts specific to FSU vs GT, but one of my favorite things about college football is that its arrival means the summer heat will break before too much longer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yup, they’re playing in Dublin.

I’m a Miami Hurricanes fan, personally. But this game has some possible conference implications for the Canes.

I just enjoy football season, generally, even if I don’t have too much time to watch games anymore.

To the tune of the war chant: Looooong flight hooooooome…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I will hate you later. Today, we celebrate a great day. Go Gators.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Hah! Agreed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

GO FOR THE 60 YARDER, YOU COWARDS!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

GT marched down the field too. Might be an interesting game...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This has the vibe of a game where the talent will eventually grind it out even though the other team is executing just as well . Glad to see Tech hanging in there in the middle of the second, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Counterpoint: maybe fsu is still checked out after last season and have been expecting their talent to ultimately carry them. So a prepared gt team may have a shot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

A Gator can hope.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Of course the Irish punter is Australian-trained.

It also reminds me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Rules_Series

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Hot take: dj is a mediocre qb

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remember he was really underwhelming at Clemson. I didn't watch the Beavs last year. To judge by realignment, I guess relatively few people did. Did he really impress so much that he should have been a target of a team with playoff aspirations?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think he did decently well out west, and his woes at clemson were attributed to youth and an incompatible system. But idk, he just doesn't seem to read the field quickly imo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Certainly seems like Tech's strategy is to stay strong vs the run and dare DJ to beat them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

He has no touch on deep balls, and it's going to bite FSU this season.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

stfu espn about most transformative season. The gall to even imply that getting a few extra ad vessels in the form of an expanded playoff is even in the same atmosphere as some actual major evolutions of the sport like integration or the forward pass. Get off my fucking nuts bro

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Closer game than I thought it’d be in the second quarter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

The season is finally here!!

What a beautiful stadium. I think it'd be fun to go to one of these Ireland games someday. Shame we're stuck with Tessitore and Palmer in the booth for this one though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Why is it so damn hard to watch espn at an out of state friend's house these days?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

That near fumble could have been disastrous for Tech, but looks like they're not missing any momentum on this series

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. FSU would be great in the SEC.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

We don't want em, hell we dont want OUTAMIZZ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I agree with not having Mizzou. But, FSU is struggling. They would have at least 4 losses in the SEC.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

OUTAMIZZ = Okie, Texas, A&M, Mizzou?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yup, see how clear and concise it is?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Credit to FSU (yuck). Always use at least two of your timeouts on defense when you need another possession, and really all three if you have confidence in your game management. Your opponent will always use as much time between plays as possible. They need to learn to cram them in before the 2-minute warning though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

FSU fans feeling antsy at this point, I can imagine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

First quarter felt like a classic Big XII game, second quarter feeling like a classic B1G game

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Time to watch the race, here's hoping GT pulls it out!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Walked it in.
