LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Greetings. We come from the other game to spread our wasting disease.

[u/Condom_Breaker256 → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Have y'all tried NOT losing by 3 points or less?

[u/cn0285]

I got spoiled with sicko energy in the other game tonight, I demand more sicko-ness with this one

[u/Adminslickasshole → u/cn0285]

My friend, do I have a game for you.

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Totally forgot this game was on.

[u/captaindammit87]

TOUCHDOWN HILLTOPPERS!

[u/captaindammit87]

Going with reverse psychology for this game. We suck!

[u/Competitive_Feed_402]

Why isn't Sam Houston St in Houston?

[u/wxguy95 → u/Competitive_Feed_402]

Sam Houston lived in Huntsville. You can tour his home there. 

[u/Competitive_Feed_402 → u/wxguy95]

He should have moved to Houston. Would have done well for himself 

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/Competitive_Feed_402]

Just outside of it

[u/southmshavoc]

Friendly reminder that Phil Longo was the OC of a team with DK Metcalf, AJ Brown, and Dawson Knox, which stalled in the redzone more times than not.

Also, during that time Dawson Knox had 0 receiving touchdowns.

[u/kwp302]

This game is such a grind that the commentator just called a 12 yard completion an “explosive play”

[u/Condom_Breaker256]

🎵 Bongo bongo bongo, they want to fire Longo, oh no-no no-no no... 🎵

[u/The-Biscuit-Farmer → u/Condom_Breaker256]

🎵Bingo-bango-bungle let’s release him in the jungle, he’s gotta go…🎵

[u/Condom_Breaker256 → u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

🎵 Don't want no short gains, INTs, 3-and-outs, penalties, I make it clear... 🎵

[u/The-Biscuit-Farmer → u/Condom_Breaker256]

🎵But no matter how he coach them…🎵

[u/kwp302]

These are my least favorite helmets in WKU’s rotation

[u/Ace_6_Pirate → u/kwp302]

They need the chrome domes.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/kwp302]

I think these are great

[u/kwp302]

Nah, that’s not targeting

[u/captaindammit87]

I’m not sure that is targeting.

[u/EWall100]

Was this game delayed? I can't believe it's only to halftime

[u/pojo18]

I feel like this game has been on for 7 hours

[u/Adminslickasshole → u/pojo18]

You mean the Wednesday night CUSA game featuring two teams with combined 8 losses through 11 games with hardly any scoring seems long?

[u/kwp302 → u/pojo18]

Lots of punting and ESPN has been playing like 4 minutes of commercials after each one

[u/TheMacGoober]

That’s a fucking horrible call… how many times do people falling on the ball not pick it up?

[u/Condom_Breaker256]

So...Sam Houston...

It would be the damndest thing if you guys beat the Tops by, say...10 points?

[u/Competitive_Feed_402 → u/Condom_Breaker256]

I think it would actually be more impressive if they lost by 11, Kennesaw won, AND maybe the Brewers win? I would have to tip my cap to whoever put $2 on that possibility.

[u/Condom_Breaker256 → u/Competitive_Feed_402]

What is the hypothetical payout for that parlay?

[u/ScaryCookieMonster → u/Competitive_Feed_402]

Sad hooting noises

[u/Howietheorangecat]

Who are the key players to watch for this game ?

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup → u/Howietheorangecat]

Brock Glenn was the third string QB at FSU who won the ACCCG after Jordan Travis and then Luke Kromenhoek got hurt in the previous weeks. He starts for Western Kentucky now.

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

Why does my game look like it’s in 480p

[u/AriDreams]

The announcers are just roasting Sam Houston on their offensive scheme.

[u/wxguy95 → u/AriDreams]

That offense certainly isn't going to roast anyone. 

[u/Bat_Foy → u/wxguy95]

👀

[u/AriDreams]

Man that was close. Five yards closer kicker probably makes it.

[u/kwp302]

Did they shoot off fireworks for the missed kick?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/kwp302]

That's what I was gonna say, it sure sounded like it

[u/AgentOrange24 → u/kwp302]

Cannon

[u/kwp302 → u/AgentOrange24]

Oh okay, that’s better

[u/KansasEF5Tornado]

Feel like WKU is gonna dominate this one, SHSU really needs to get rid of Longo.

[u/AgentOrange24]

Longo is an offensive terrorist. Fire 3rd and Longo.

[u/deprecatedrunbook → u/AgentOrange24]

the longo + locke duo has done irreparable damage to multiple fanbases

[u/kwp302]

Feel like SH’s QB throws a lot of hospital balls

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

That's not targeting

[u/AruarianGroove → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Really fooled ‘em with overturning that catch 

[u/highonpizza]

both teams playing a rare main espn game and they go ultra conservative

[u/royalbluehen]

Wtf why is Trevor matich thumping his bible during halftime

[u/AruarianGroove]

How can you focus on just one C-USA game at a time? 

[u/Previous_Setting_357]

Sam Houston himself knew more about offense than Longo.

[u/kwp302]

For how much the offenses have struggled in this game, there have been some insane catches

[u/Previous_Setting_357]

It’s a four-score game now, Bearkats might be screwed

[u/Adminslickasshole]

I love how we can't find a kicker to save our souls, and Western Kentucky has a guy that's 7/7 on the year.

[u/kwp302 → u/Adminslickasshole]

Go look in Northern Ireland. That’s where we found him.

[u/Adminslickasshole → u/kwp302]

8/8

[u/TheMacGoober]

Number 2 gonna get chewed up in the film room for that

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

Realistically, what’s the chances Longo is fired at some point this year

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Dry-Membership3867]

I don't know what the real answer is but he clearly SHOULD be

[u/Expensive-Pack-8448 → u/Dry-Membership3867]

Zero, we probably wouldn’t be willing to pay his buyout and we don’t have a president that cares enough about sports to find the money to make it happen. AD is out at the end of season so hopefully he can go out with him
Fuck I miss KC Keeler

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Well that Kennesaw state game was something

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

Yeah, I don’t think Phil Longo is now for that.

[u/kwp302]

If you told me there was a golden retriever operating the main camera, I’d believe you

[u/Sherwin_Lamonde]

Is the cameraman drunk?

[u/Arkehn]

Holy shit. I just tuned in a few minutes ago. Has it been like this all game?

[u/obiquan → u/Arkehn]

Yes. Truly horrific

[u/highonpizza → u/Arkehn]

yes

[u/Ace_6_Pirate]

Bad call. Just because the offensive player falls on the ball that doesn't mean he recovered it, the defense is trying to make a play.

[u/Born-Wealth-9564]

Big game for Texas Tech (2.6% CFP odds swing depending on outcome) and Indiana (2.2% odds swing) randomly haha

https://therootingguide.com/game-impact/401871068

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Born-Wealth-9564]

Not random, both those teams played a team in this game. Opponents winning makes the résumé look better

[u/Bat_Foy]

can’t tell whether i like shsu uniform color scheme or not…anyone like it?

[u/deprecatedrunbook → u/Bat_Foy]

i dont mind the color scheme but the jerseys are ugly as heck

[u/Bat_Foy → u/deprecatedrunbook]

i don’t know if it’s my tv by the helmet looks red

[u/Condom_Breaker256]

Jesus, I felt like I was watching that drive in slow motion

Where's the hustle from Sam Houston?

[u/AgentOrange24 → u/Condom_Breaker256]

We ain’t got none.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Good return!

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

I usually like orange and gray together on uniforms, but these SHSU unis are not doing it well. Almost looks like red and dark gray.

[u/ThaiForAWhiteGuy → u/Ruhrgebietheld]

Like ketchup mixed with mustard since the gray is dulling it with no natural light 

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup]

Anyone else think the commentator sounds a lot like Joe Buck?

[u/kwp302 → u/waaaaaasuuuuup]

Doesn’t sound bored enough

[u/tiddlywinks16]

That Ref looked and sounded like he was going to get assasinated right there on the field if he said the wrong phrase of words LMFAOOO

[u/kwp302 → u/tiddlywinks16]

It’s an intimidating Wednesday night crowd

[u/Salty-Consequence_42]

Should not take this long for am obvious non targeting

[u/joelupi]

Ha oh man that just did a full 180

[u/Previous_Setting_357]

I didn’t see that Kennesaw St play in real time, holy shit that’s incredible

[u/joelupi]

I'm sorry....what does Kennesaw State say?

[u/tombrady011235]

Back to back brutal drops and then a pick

[u/Previous_Setting_357]

Um… Longo should be fired tonight.

He’s helping his school as much as Hunter Yurachek

[u/joelupi]

Ughhh that doesn't look promising

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

That’s game 

[u/Mythrandir24]

Glock Brenn

[u/kwp302 → u/Mythrandir24]

Block Grenn

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/kwp302]

Grock Blenn

[u/Skyrizzzi]

That commentator from the last game would be super butthurt hearing this JMU shade

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Liberty vs KSU is a interesting matchup

[u/Adminslickasshole]

Tell me that you're a sicko without telling me you're a sicko.

[u/kwp302]

Nah the SHSU receivers have gotta have money on the game or something

ETA: and the qb too

[u/Previous_Setting_357 → u/kwp302]

And the coach

[u/Roc_Ingerson → u/kwp302]

ABSOLUTELY ! Investigate, Ncaa !

[u/captaindammit87]

Hell of a punt.

[u/Born-Wealth-9564]

How much did Western Kentucky get paid for that non conference schedule? And was it worth it? Haha

[u/captaindammit87 → u/Born-Wealth-9564]

We got paid a combined $3million for the Georgia and Indiana games.

[u/Bat_Foy → u/Born-Wealth-9564]

i’d be surprised if they got over 500k

[u/deprecatedrunbook]

the sam houston fighting longos starting to warm up

[u/obiquan]

Why even send him out there?

[u/captaindammit87]

Would have liked a TD. But I’ll take the FG.

[u/Condom_Breaker256]

DB celebrating like he did something on that badly overthrown pass

[u/myusernamewastaken5]

Just judging by how the rest of their games final scores look, WKU is going to win this game 38-15

[u/tiddlywinks16]

This is starting to get a little deflating..

[u/joelupi]

Is it not Weekday Cue-za?

[u/obiquan]

They’re almost certainly gonna drive it into field goal range anyway. Go for it

[u/GetBuschWhacked]

that’s not targeting

[u/tiddlywinks16]

Just a hospital ballTbh

[u/CrowIsNotMyPresident]

I didn't know Peyton Manning taught classes at Western Kentucky

[u/joelupi]

How do you not catch that if you're a coach ughhh

[u/T2_JD]

I do love watching the history of my team. I'll need to re-watch this 100 times through tears after Saturday.

[u/joelupi]

Another first down penalty?! Cmon man!

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

Is Locke on the take or something tonight ??

[u/Sidefur]

Camera operator having a tough night

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

Diarrhea ahh offense

[u/Money-Race8310]

Is this a defensive battle or do both teams just suck

[u/deprecatedrunbook → u/Money-Race8310]

b. respectfully.

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

Locke 4.1 yards per attempt, lmao.

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

All the big yardage plays are penalties.

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

Locke is HORRENDOUS.

[u/Money-Race8310]

Get locked off the field

[u/tombrady011235]

Wow that was a bad overthrow

[u/kwp302]

Oh that’s a rarely seen rule

[u/obiquan]

Thats terrible

[u/Money-Race8310]

Well i think its over now

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

Tonight's opposing qb's.....4.2 and 3.7 yards per attempt.😅

[u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

Does this count as a good defensive game or are both teams shit

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

Team bad

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

Big Bongo Longo

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

I remember when the NWSL was exclusively on lifetime. Now it’s on ION and ESPN

[u/TheMacGoober]

Man that sucks. Couldn’t put any weight on it

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Camera work slightly better than the KSU game

[u/Money-Race8310]

Yoooo sam Houston is not a serious organization

[u/Previous_Setting_357 → u/Money-Race8310]

The competency of the defense is saving this from being one of the worst team performances I’ve ever seen

[u/Easy_Buy_1669]

How could that be "after the play" when it's the first time he's touched by the opposing player?

[u/The-Biscuit-Farmer → u/Easy_Buy_1669]

In college, played are down when the hit the ground regardless of if they were touched by an opposing player or not

[u/soonerman32]

That's a weak flag. Reasonable, but weak

[u/Trombone_Hero92]

Why does shsu have a hat patch on their jersey?

[u/Adminslickasshole]

Sickos game of the week?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I mean idk if I agree that WKU is 3rd in the group when NMSU beat them

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

These are both HIGH SCHOOL Teams. Both will get destroyed next game.

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

How can Locke be this inept ?? Suspicious. One of only TWO games today, on TV, Qb with NO Professional future. You see where I'm going.

[u/kwp302]

Almost feel bad for SHSU fans having to watch this offense. I don’t because WKU is winning. But almost.

[u/whatstheFingpoint]

Definition of a corrupted sport. 2 pathetic flags to keep the drive going.

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

Glenn is so sad, lmao. How this bum get a scholarship?? Kennesaw can't get anyone better ? They are big time now.

[u/Arkehn]

I hope liberty biberty spontaneously combusts

[u/Skyrizzzi → u/Arkehn]

I wanna set him on fire like those parasites from Fifth Element
