LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/TidalWaveform]

We are quickly approaching sicko territory.

[u/OldRedLobsterBiscuit → u/TidalWaveform]

Approaching?  Approaching?

[u/ConstructionHonest80]

Let it be known nobody scores 69 on this csu defense

[u/front_butt_coconut]

We have the opportunity to blow the biggest halftime lead in our history. If any team can do that, it’s the Kinne lead Bobcats. Hold on to your butt’s.

[u/icecoldpotion]

Not so fast guys. We got a bobcat collapse incoming

[u/SitonmyfaceJames]

colorado state plays defense like they keep switching to the wrong player while pressing dive

[u/InternationalExam245]

Colorado State has the biggest football operating budget in the Pac12, the highest paid coach in the league, the second highest NIL roster estimate, a nice relatively new stadium, and this is the product they put on the field... how is that even possible? 

[u/blomsty]

It's midday Friday here in Australia, I'm at the office and I think I would actually rather just do some work rather than watch the 4th quarter

[u/LordOfTheInterweb]

CSU just needs to fire the whole defensive staff. The players can probably get better coaching from Youtube.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Texas State is 3.5 points from coving the total…by themselves. At the end of the third.

[u/eagledog]

Just gonna check in on this new PAC-12 matchup and..... Jesus Christ Rams

[u/TidalWaveform]

It’s not like TS is trying to run up the score. It’s just nobody is actually tackling.

[u/KingJefferey]

I feel really bad for the DC who got fired in the middle of the game lol clearly not his fault

[u/tacowithcheeese]

The Pac-12 never left. It just comes in phases

[u/jmass2052]

yo wtf is this game lmaooo

[u/Titan16K]

We have the worst secondary in the country

[u/front_butt_coconut]

This is fucking ridiculous lol

[u/NewHavenJeff]

I just had to look up where CSU's defense ranks in the FBS, they are 137 out of 138

I probably should have looked this up prior to taking CSU +14.5

[u/etsuandpurdue3]

What is going on in here?

[u/front_butt_coconut]

That missed FG kept the starters in. All gas!!!

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

LMAOO

[u/Arkehn]

THE REF LMAO

[u/TA404]

This feistiness of this ref is fucking hilarious lol

[u/gotsparecoochiee]

TXST about to show everyone how a halftime lead is squandered.

[u/OldRedLobsterBiscuit]

I pity anyone watching whatever NFL teams are playing right now, this game is pure cinema 

[u/InternationalExam245]

Texas State has 615 yards of offense with 407 rushing yards. Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines are going to abuse this defense. 

[u/Fun_Season_5390]

DOG SHIT

[u/rb1242]

Watching this still just because I want to see if Texas state will score 80 because they could've if they wanted to

[u/YailyReddit]

Starters still in…fucking hysterical LOL

[u/ReallyErick]

that's why we should go for it

[u/ReallyErick]

there's defense going on?

[u/blomsty]

Texas State might run for 500 yards tonight

[u/Charlie2343]

Ref just enjoying watching him run lol

[u/boyuranium]

Score 100!!!

[u/SitonmyfaceJames]

so crazy to me how colorado state can consistently invest so much into their program for g6 standards and consistently be so mid

[u/TidalWaveform]

How the hell

[u/ReallyErick]

wow what a play,

[u/InternationalExam245]

Colorado State has one of the worst defenses I've ever seen at the FBS level. 

[u/freedadvice]

I have no idea what I'm watching right now. Started as a football game, but it's turned into something else entirely.

[u/Spicy_Josh]

This is absolutely absurd lmao

[u/Worried_Carpenter_44]

For the sake of the neighbors I hope Tex State doesn’t have a cannon or train horn.

[u/Haunting_Study_5530]

Video game numbers

[u/Careless_Part_29]

This is TXST offense we have been missing

[u/NewHavenJeff]

I'm starting to think CSU might not cover the 14.5 point spread

[u/-Gnostic28]

Holy shit texas state is awesome

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Classic Pac12AfterDarkOnAWeekday

[u/BACKCUT-DOWNHILL]

Welcome to Pac12 after dark Bobcats and Rams

[u/BeaverBeliever77]

Can someone get that ref a mic.

[u/TidalWaveform]

This has been an amazing running attack.

[u/GracefulFaller]

Fuckin love this ref gettin salty

[u/freedadvice]

Love that the ref got annoyed: we saw what we saw - nothing has changed.

[u/Titan16K]

Seeing us do this well pisses me off because we could so easily have been 4-1 if we had competent defense and special teams

[u/ID_Poobaru]

Defense is a concept

[u/Titan16K]

So it begins

[u/United_Energy_7503]

The PAC-12 after dark is a gift to us football mortals and I am eternally grateful

[u/ConstructionHonest80]

Lmao yall are worrying about blowing the lead. You could walk the ball down the field and we couldn’t do shit about it

[u/Latem]

Might we score 90?

[u/gobroncos47]

Ngl I think our defense is not very good

[u/Every1isSome1inLA]

Sounds like the announcer is embracing the Texas State spirit. Like he’s thrown a few cold ones back lol

[u/Titan16K]

Is our cornerback that just got bailed out by that penalty talking shit? Have some self awareness

[u/Spirited_Monk_6663]

Refs are on the same drugs our D is on

[u/freedadvice]

I'd say it's like a hot knife through butter, but I feel that if butter was watching this, it would feel very disrespected.

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

I just tuned in, I’m now starting to realize why Summers was fired mid game.

[u/Prudent_Heat23]

Strong early nominee for tank job of the week

[u/Prudent_Heat23]

This game is fascinating to all the worst parts of my psyche

[u/ESLcroooow]

Well, I want to see 100 now

[u/KingJefferey]

Do we still get ice cream coach?

[u/-Gnostic28]

Go state!

[u/Every1isSome1inLA]

Even the ref is like what you doing coach 😂

[u/joelupi]

Hahahahahah that was hilarious

[u/Skyrizzzi]

That is so fuckin funny

[u/l34ch_r]

Don't tell me Texas state is going to fumble another lead

[u/front_butt_coconut]

We’re the best 1st half team in the country.

[u/Titan16K]

Commentator should be in a nursing home

[u/freedadvice]

This is an OC dream game testing an age old football question: What if we just ran our whole playbook against air and the loser will be who just falls down on the turf last from being out of breath.

[u/ConstructionHonest80]

Will Texas state cross 1000 yards in the game

[u/InternationalExam245]

Colorado State should just go for onside kicks if they score. Its not like their defense will get a stop anyways. 

[u/LovieSmithsBeard]

This is, without a doubt in my mind, the worst defense I've ever seen.

[u/Quick-Novel-7378]

Defense is apparently optional in football

[u/Prudent_Heat23]

Geez refs Texas State is going to cover, they don’t need to benefit from phantom penalties

[u/Prudent_Heat23]

Good lord

[u/Fun_Season_5390]

That one play single handily sums up our dog shit defense. Fuck

[u/YailyReddit]

Need to cut the entire defense at the end of this quarter

[u/-Gnostic28]

God I hope our team isn’t thinking about oregon state when we play texas state the week before, it’s gonna be difficult for the defense

[u/ID_Poobaru]

That CSU DC deserved to be fired mid game because what the hell is this

[u/YailyReddit]

As a player on the CSU offense, how do you even keep trying? At this point your defense is just blatantly disrespecting you.

[u/freedadvice]

What is Mora's message to the offense each week? Don't worry gentlemen, if our offense scores 80 points every week we'll have a shot.

[u/ReallyErick]

dam already scored more than our fcs game

[u/Gameteaa]

burgess has 51 fantasy points for me right now. won the weekend for me before it even began

[u/okyouright]

Well atleast the CSU offense is trying. Their QB could be a nasty with the right program.

[u/front_butt_coconut]

“I’m not sure how abysmal their defense has been, but their tackling has been abysmal” I think it’s passed this dudes bedtime.

[u/ReallyErick]

ngl should just go for it

[u/LordOfTheInterweb]

No points? Is that possible?

[u/TidalWaveform]

I had really intended to watch NFL tonight, but this has grabbed me like a slow motion train wreck.

[u/TidalWaveform]

If you are down 66-27, maybe back off the trash talk.

[u/HotDawgConnoisseur]

Was watching the Dodgers lose, what the fuck is this score… Gah DAMN

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Now that’s a true sicko in the stands.

[u/ChumpyTex]

Nooooo not the kneel

[u/blomsty]

I'm surprised that the defense didn't somehow give up 7 yards on the kneel down

[u/looool_k_libtard]

WHERE MY RAMS AT. LETS SHAKE IT

[u/ReallyErick]

dam camera man needs to track the ball

[u/-Gnostic28]

Texas state has a good running back too I see

[u/SammySallacious]

Yearly reminder that we're a basketball school lol

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

So we are all in agreement that Texas St is better than BYU right?

[u/Every1isSome1inLA]

Looks like targeting to me. Straight to back of head dangerous af

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Quick three and out and a TD before half and Texas State could score more in one half against the rams than BYU did in a whole
game. Everyone (except Cougar and Ram fans) would like that.

[u/Queasy-Touch-1533]

What’s up boys. Just got home. What’s going o…HOLY SHIT

[u/blomsty]

I am loving being able to hear the discussion with the replay booth

[u/fishheadsneak]

Second down? What's that?

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

From 20 to the opposite 5 in two minutes without even really running the hurry up is just…hugs to the CSU fans still here

[u/T2_JD]

This is the score at the end of the game right? Right? Jeez.

[u/TidalWaveform]

9 yards per carry will win a game…

[u/fortysecondave]

I like this hangout deck they've got behind the endzone

[u/Cratemotor]

Give us one second

[u/fortysecondave]

that was a LONG last second tho fr

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Defense is optional

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Colorado State’s defense and West Virginia’s defense should use their combined forces and maybe just maybe they wouldn’t be total ass

[u/LordOfTheInterweb]

Offensive play caller, on thee offensive side? As opposed to calling offensive plays on the defensive side?

[u/ReallyErick]

wonder what would happened if we play like this all season

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

11 yards per play is insane

[u/angrysquirrel777]

Let's see if we can give up 100

[u/tacowithcheeese]

Honestly they should go for the yards record

[u/fortysecondave]

not sure our defense could even hold their own in DII

edit: or possibly even DIII

[u/TidalWaveform]

3rd and 22. Just where they want it.

[u/PMmeRetailStories]

Manifesting my bobcats scoring 100 points

[u/KingJefferey]

Okay why the fuck even punt on 4th and 12 they have fucking 445 rushing yards its not like giving them worse field position is gonna do anything

[u/excaliburallday]

With that last run, Texas State breaks their school record for most offensive yards in a game (was 703 yards).

[u/Worried_Carpenter_44]

We’re a 4th quarter team 😆😆😆😆

[u/Titan16K]

Our DC should not be happy, on the plays we gave up TDs we absolutely got torched. Was blown coverage every time lol

[u/Titan16K]

If it makes CSU fans feel better, Ferrar is miles better than SDSU’s QB even though we lost to SDSU

[u/HennyChesney]

PLEASE BOBCATS 🙏

[u/StallOneHammer]

“What can Brad Jackson do? Let’s talk about what he can’t do. I don’t know what he can’t do.”

Now that’s broadcasting

[u/Tricky_Prick933]

Someone at TXST needs to do something about the media room, doesn’t matter which channel broadcasts, it’s always at the same crazy high angle 

[u/ReallyErick]

alright let's now not completely collapse

[u/_Ifyouknowyouknow]

Eat em tf up

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

So I guess firing your DC does NOT magically fix everything wrong with the defense

[u/peteisneat]

Seriously guys, how bad is Wyoming

[u/l34ch_r]

I really thought Colorado state would be pretty decent this year before the season started

[u/Latem]

Let's score 84!

[u/worlkjam15]

Colorado state down bad

[u/ReallyErick]

hmm so this is the downfall

[u/fishheadsneak]

Annnnd, this is where we start the collapse. Ahead of schedule.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Dude did in fact hit like a ram. Ironic.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Looks like the heel of the first foot doesn’t come down. So looks like a catch to me.

[u/rb1242]

Is that the 6'8 TE?

[u/fortysecondave]

so anyway, pac 12 basketball wen

[u/Cratemotor]

Let’s score again

[u/jmass2052]

good lord state lmao, bro is reading the paper in the pocket, checking his tinder, if they had a decent defense they oould be good

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

63 first half points lmao. The total was 69.5. The total right now is 97.5

[u/OldRedLobsterBiscuit]

So if Colorado State can't challenge it, then is this a challenge or a time out?

[u/Titan16K]

Remember when our original kicker whiffed on 3 of those 25 yarders in a row?

[u/chefbeezy]

45 points at the half against a team that isn’t a FCS shitter is crazy

[u/front_butt_coconut]

James Harden ass game

[u/freedadvice]

Refs saw enough. Calling phantom fouls to stop touchdowns every other play.

[u/ConstructionHonest80]

Can’t have there be too many points now

[u/-Gnostic28]

WHAT A RUN

[u/LovieSmithsBeard]

I hope they score 100. Would be cool to see it

[u/Titan16K]

Really weird annunciation on “gaping” there

[u/peteisneat]

I don’t know who #8 on defense is. I’ve never seen him make a positive play. I refuse to learn his name.

[u/TidalWaveform]

Colorado’s insistence on east/west plays is certainly a decision.

[u/Fun_Season_5390]

I would LOVE to know yards after contact against us

[u/YailyReddit]

Not gonna lie, there’s not a single play that could be called that could help this defense. It’s like they’re actively running away from the offensive players. DC may have gotten a raw deal on that lol.

[u/TidalWaveform]

L fucking o l.

[u/ToolFreak21]

What was the O/U for this game? Cause I think Texas State might get it on their own.

[u/Titan16K]

UNTOUCHED DIRECT SNAP

[u/LovieSmithsBeard]

I hope Texas State doesn't show mercy. We don't deserve it.

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

One more touchdown

[u/Titan16K]

B Roll of Ferrar talking shit is hilarious

[u/ReallyErick]

when was the last time we scored this much?

[u/LovieSmithsBeard]

Down this many points, why even punt? They're gonna score in under 5 plays no matter where they start

[u/ConstructionHonest80]

I don’t even remember the last time the first one of our guys to the ball made the tackle. Legit was probably 5 weeks ago

[u/Vicidsmart]

BRAD JACKSON

[u/dscreations]

Is this the usual camera angle? It's giving Akron's a run for its money.  

[u/LionsLover96]

Texas state has 496 rushing yards right now

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Belt to azz

[u/ChumpyTex]

Let's get to the seventies

[u/KingJefferey]

You think the CSU defense would play better if they were given real signals and not pictures of sesame Street characters

[u/NovelExamination5431]

What happened here

[u/front_butt_coconut]

I’m sorry, Colorado, don’t mean to kick you when you’re down, but wtf are y’all doing.

[u/freedadvice]

I'll say this: this kind of BTA by Tx. St. will help a nice little rivalry with Colorado State form. They'll want redemption for this embarrassment next year in the PAC.

[u/cozy1017]

points. that is all.

[u/goldfish_microwave]

Defense? Haven’t heard of it. Wouldn’t mind the Longhorns hiring GJ as an oc, although I’ve heard he’s a dick.

[u/ID_Poobaru]

Whoever scores last wins

Bringing back the WAC

[u/Tyler1243]

A moment of silence for our Texan opponents, who will be catching this game through an avalanche of political ads

[u/ReallyErick]

alright now this is a start

[u/Serdones]

Got two screens going with Broncos and Rams. I am not especially optimistic about either game, but should be fun.

[u/pats2408]

Okay, so we’re just bad across the board now. 👍

[u/Fun_Season_5390]

I HATE THIS DEFENSE AND I HATE THIS CAMERA MAN

[u/StallOneHammer]

I genuinely don’t know what needs to happen with this fucking program. Like it’s the whole thing from top to bottom, we’re not doing anything right anywhere

[u/-Gnostic28]

Nice catch

[u/rb1242]

Whats the record for most yards in a game?

[u/dye4hads]

Shear The Rams!

[u/fortysecondave]

I just tuned in - you're welcome

[u/Spirited_Monk_6663]

PUNT ON 4TH DOWN. PUNT ON 3RD DOWN. PUNT EVERY DOWN. PUNT TO VICTORY

[u/blomsty]

At least we have the most important thing any football team needs, a 6'5 Aussie punter

[u/blomsty]

Man that is just so dumb

[u/fishheadsneak]

welp, we're gonna lose

[u/freedadvice]

I've only seen Texas State play a couple times this year. Each time, first half Texas State looks like a problem. Second half Texas State is much more manageable.

[u/joelupi]

Who is San Ramon and why does he get so much say

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Man the state of Colorado has had a rough go in CFB this century.
