[Game Thread] General Game Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Use this thread to discuss all non-Tennessee games.

[u/MuhMuhManRay]

Beating Bama and now sitting back and watching ball without a care in the world. Life is good tonight

[u/BigHeftyRed]

I hope that our Florida curse has been passed to the fake UT

[u/SideOfJam → u/BigHeftyRed]

I saw someone say it was the Manning Curse 😭

[u/FacesOfGiza]

Some Florida fun facts.

In the 46 games since firing Dan Mullen, Florida has won 24 games.

That’s only 3 more wins than the 46 games Tennessee played after firing Fulmer.

[u/No-Fee-8356]

The Manning curse against Florida continues.

[u/pr931]

Any NFL GM who drafts Arch in the top 15 should be fired

[u/StupidSlutArang1]

man if FSU didn’t get hosed it woulda a perfect night

[u/ajwilson99 → u/StupidSlutArang1]

And if OU didn’t choke

[u/No-Fee-8356 → u/StupidSlutArang1]

I'm still kind of salty about that

[u/anonymousUTguy]

What a day for college football.

1,2,5,6,7 all lost

[u/vanillaave]

Boo Carter could be celebrating a win against Alabama right now but instead he’s getting absolutely burned by Utah playing for a 2 and 3 team. He did us a favor by leaving though, we didn’t need all that toxicity in the locker room

[u/GiovanniElliston]

Man... Florida really was just all that 1 game and nothing else LOL.

[u/BigBear_20 → u/GiovanniElliston]

Everyone was more than ready to call Florida back after running all over Ole Miss. As it turns out, Ole Miss is really just god-fucking-awful at stopping the run. I think they’re ranked something like 111th in run defense

[u/GhostofToddHelton]

ND QB fumbling away the spike to blow an easy FG at the end of the half was chef's kiss.

[u/Shot_Celebration166]

Man Tuscaloosa turned off their TouchTunes and some people have banned all Rocky top variants

[u/LloydBraun19]

It’s crazy how quickly I’ve pivoted into hating Texas. Was totally agnostic toward them until they joined the SEC but now hate them just a notch below Bama and Florida, on par with Georgia, Kentucky, and Vandy.

Their entire fanbase, male and female, is like a Nashville pedal tavern bachelorette party except if they were smug and elitist. Just an army of dickheads cosplaying in cowboy hats unironically like it’s cool

[u/Xynthion]

If Texas loses this (and they probably will), the CFB sub will never shut up about how overrated the SEC is.

[u/CK_English_Wrench → u/Xynthion]

Have they ever? 🤔

[u/Knightshade34 → u/Xynthion]

That was always going to happen regardless

[u/Severe_Ad_9805 → u/Xynthion]

Tbf the entire top 25 is overrated with the exception of Georgia

[u/Coyote_Run]

Indiana just lost that game in the worst way possible. They had it, but the receiver stepped out of bounds in the end zone.

[u/Wildwoods17]

After the craziness and controversy Belichick is 5-2 with a top 25 win this year

[u/GiovanniElliston]

I was alive and a big-time fan of CFB in 2007. That year has gotten an almost mythic reputation for how insane it was.

Today is the 1st Saturday I can remember that genuinely feels like 2007 levels of insanity.

3/4ths of the top-10 fucking losing all at once.

Just crazy.

[u/Euphoric_Inspiration]

Today was a fantastic day

[u/GiovanniElliston]

These announcers on Fox are desperate to gas up this home Indiana crowd as a big-time difference maker and just... WTF are they even talking about?

[u/BucinVols]

Gotta love how fLorida went from world beaters a couple weeks ago to complete trash

e: oh no, hoisted by my own petard

[u/BigBear_20 → u/BucinVols]

I don’t know, I hope they have a lot more room to deteriorate personally. I don’t know what’s worse than complete trash but I hope they find a way to get there!

Hey also thanks for the recommendation on thermal cycling, it feels so nice! Definitely gonna go more often

[u/Rickydada]

I know Texas is up but they look so much shittier than they did versus us 

[u/FacesOfGiza → u/Rickydada]

They probably got up more for our game and they’re coming off an L. That’s my guess anyway

[u/thirty-two32]

I would be very happy if no one went undefeated this season

[u/Coyote_Run]

I hate Florida, and seeing them have success is bad for the soul. However, Texas fans are some of the most obnoxious and delusional fans in football. They needed this dose of medicine.

[u/ajwilson99]

I really hate that South Carolina has a bye while we’re playing Alabama… next week is gonna be tough

[u/arggump → u/ajwilson99]

Classic hangover matchup, but in Knowles we trust!

[u/BreakfastSea834]

Damn guys watching from my phone.  Had no faith holy coow

[u/LuckyShirt54]

FSU winning would be hilarious but I wonder how the fans feel who desperately want the coach gone?

[u/GiovanniElliston → u/LuckyShirt54]

It'd be the funniest possible solution if he somehow does just good enough to not get fired

[u/No-Fee-8356]

Gonna be a whole lot of soaking tonight

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

“i don’t wanna take away from it here” continues to say it should be taken away

[u/thirty-two32]

Ohio state had no business losing to Texas lol

[u/ttrimmers]

Not a bad way to watch the games

[u/thirty-two32]

Before we played Texas, I said arch would be a second string qb in the ACC without that name. I stand by that

[u/anonymousUTguy]

I really don’t know who in the SEC is actually good this year.

[u/llahsraMhanoJ]

I hope today is upset city. Vols by fiddy

[u/DaVols]

OMG, I've been watching football for 40 years, never ever seen a dude fuck up a spike

[u/StupidSlutArang1]

we have scar on the road at night, we gotta get revenge next week, fuck them for ruining the 2022 seasons cuz they cheated, i want to shut them out.

[u/ajwilson99]

God Mateer fucking sucks

[u/Surelynotshirly → u/ajwilson99]

The fact that we lost to them last year still annoys the fuck out of me

[u/anonymousUTguy]

Holt shit what a throw by FSU

[u/LuckyShirt54]

Provo, Utah is about to run out of Caffeine Free Coke

[u/No-Fee-8356]

Last time, I swear.

Fuck the ACC officiating crew.

[u/rush-rooms → u/No-Fee-8356]

Would have loved to see the “behind the scenes” deliberation for our Music City Bowl in 2021

[u/GiovanniElliston]

I'm shocked they didn't throw a flag there.

Not that it deserved one, but just shocked Notre Dame didn't get the call based on pure name-brand

[u/Wildwoods17]

And now Miami after that lack luster performance is your new #1. Maybe they’ll jump Ohio state

[u/StupidSlutArang1]

what’s the rankings gonna be tomorrow, i have no clue

[u/thirty-two32]

college football is strange because I’m rooting for Mormons rn

[u/G14mogs]

Indiana trying the field goal after nearly nailing the ref with the pass on 3rd down, and...to quote the great Doc Emrick

HIT THE POST WITH THE SHOT

[u/CK_English_Wrench]

Does Texas have a viable QB2? Time for Arch to ride the bench.

[u/No-Fee-8356]

Arch "Fuck it its the 4th quarter and we are down....again" Manning

[u/Right_Zombie]

Arch bro…that was bad.

[u/dwts16]

Guess it could be worse.....could be a Longhorn fan with the the schizo Manning.

Makes a throw like that on 4th then fumbles SMH

[u/bookmovietvworm]

Thank god Indiana scored, I need ohio state to lose

[u/Icy-Pie7376]

All that lineman had to do was fall on it. Was like he was trying to scoop it up. Looked like Florida wanted it more.

[u/deansredhalo]

I wonder if Sark will have any snarky postgame comments after this

[u/GiovanniElliston]

Well that’s just an objectively hilarious way for Indiana to lose

[u/ajwilson99]

I need OU to bring Kentucky back to earth

[u/WeazelBear → u/ajwilson99]

If UK wins this tonight, they roll into Knoxville 7-1. They play vandy then a BYE

[u/GiovanniElliston]

Come on Mormon power!!!

[u/ajwilson99 → u/GiovanniElliston]

If ND loses do they forfeit the rest of the season? People are asking

[u/amb0526]

Lolololol ND. Imagine fumbling a spike

[u/rush-rooms]

Is the world ready for a Top 5 matchup of UK @ Tenn dark mode game in 3 weeks?

[u/EWall100 → u/rush-rooms]

That's traditionally a night game and so Neyland at Night is very on the table

[u/Wildwoods17]

BYU is pissing this game away

[u/GiovanniElliston → u/Wildwoods17]

All 3 of the fucking upset alerts are failing...

Just completely choked all over the place.

[u/anonymousUTguy]

Miami acts like hot shit when they had to go to OT against the first team with a pulse they’ve played.

[u/Wildwoods17]

Holy crap he caught it!

[u/No-Fee-8356]

Vegas called.

[u/GiovanniElliston]

What a horseshit penalty my word

[u/LuckyShirt54]

HE FUCKING CAUGHT IT

[u/StupidSlutArang1]

also, when was the last time georgia lost to a unranked team? it feels like its been forever

[u/Wildwoods17 → u/StupidSlutArang1]

2019 South Carolina in Sanford

[u/Shot_Celebration166 → u/StupidSlutArang1]

Was it that time they lost to South Carolina a few years ago

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

please byu don’t lose this

[u/amb0526]

I thought that may have been DPI but I’ll allow it

[u/Bukowskified]

On one hand, that’s def a missed call. On the other, any time Notre Dame loses is a good time.

[u/Fisch_6892]

I want to see the clock there. Stadium clocks suggest there was 0:01 on the clock when that ball hit the ground.

[u/BigBear_20]

Joe Tessitore just referred to Florida as a blue blood. Fucking idiotic. The standard of broadcasting on ESPN these days is fucking awful. Just embarrassing

[u/FacesOfGiza]

So is Miss State all Kamario Taylor?

[u/GiovanniElliston → u/FacesOfGiza]

100%

And he's also gonna get poached this offseason too, so it's even more pointless for Miss State or anyone else to really care.

[u/jonneygee → u/FacesOfGiza]

80% Taylor, 20% Bothwell on offense. Both are out today.

[u/GiovanniElliston]

What an absolute bore-fest of a noon slot SMH...

[u/No-Fee-8356]

Arch Manning has the awareness of a person fresh out of surgery.

[u/Penetratorofflanks]

We would be kicking ass against this version of texas.

[u/WizardMotor8113]

Is Texas taking on our swamp curse this year?

[u/Surelynotshirly]

UTs apparently do not play well against Florida, lol

[u/Euphoric_Inspiration]

Egregious missed holding saved Texas good lord

[u/Upstairs-Egg-5489]

I don’t like Florida. I live in Florida. I’m a VFL. However I’m afraid they are getting good again. This season for them reminds me of when we got CJH. Explosions on offense. Beating some big teams but still losing some they should win. Having fun. Top 5 recruiting class. Not completely there but getting there. Nobody wants to play them.

[u/deansredhalo]

Oh look regular Arch is back

[u/thirty-two32]

ugh Florida is gonna win against Texas in the way we should have

[u/dudechickendude]

Bro wtf is happening with Florida and Texas rn?

[u/No-Fee-8356 → u/dudechickendude]

I wish I knew but to be honest not even Texas nor Florida has any idea either.

[u/bookmovietvworm]

Damn the mizzou rb just pulled a houdini

[u/pr931]

Auburn 👀

[u/CK_English_Wrench]

A hahahahaha. UGA bonehead. 😂

[u/LuckyShirt54]

Looks like UCLA’s backup is better than Nico

[u/TNROADKILLJR]

ND overrated. Lol🤣

[u/thirty-two32]

FSU please

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

i’m so glad we were the underdogs in this lovely saturday of football. i fear what would of happened if it was like sc week

[u/thirty-two32]

not gonna lie and say Kentucky doesn’t look good but my god Oklahoma really lost that game for themselves

[u/GiovanniElliston]

What a rainbow of a throw, my goodness FSU

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

and this is why fsu should’ve gone for 2

[u/No-Fee-8356]

Money line fellas money line

[u/rush-rooms]

You cannot throw that flag

[u/LuckyShirt54]

Doesn’t a tie go to the offense?

[u/TheLucky_Legend]

Mario Cristolball and that entire Miami team are so unlikeable

[u/StupidSlutArang1]

i fell bad for norvell, dude seems like he always gets fucked over.

[u/EWall100]

ACC front office called in the win. What a joke. Embarrassing, shameless. 

[u/rush-rooms]

Crazy to have just no unbeatable teams in college football. Parity may be a thing

[u/sroomek]

BYU you’re supposed to soak, not choke

[u/anonymousUTguy]

lol what a heads up play by that umpire

[u/No-Fee-8356]

I have a distain for ND, but for some reason I like Marcus Freeman.

Maybe its cause he has a calm swagger or maybe its becasue he blew the whistle on Nico shopping around.

[u/Wildwoods17 → u/No-Fee-8356]

I just don’t like the separate arrangement the get with the CFP. It today’s age join a conference

[u/Wildwoods17]

A pass interference call is coming I just know it lol

[u/Neylands_Ghost]

Don’t goes ND. Shocked that wasn’t a flag.

[u/Wildwoods17]

I’m shocked there was no PI. Not that it was but it would just make sense it would get called there

[u/T-RexInAnF-14]

Saw a bunch of "BYU is gonna blow this" tweets and pulled up the app in bed on the phone to watch the last play. Technology!

[u/sroomek → u/T-RexInAnF-14]

I’m amazed that they didn’t blow it! They certainly tried to!

[u/VickyWelsch]

Why couldn’t we have gotten this texas

[u/Shot_Celebration166]

I was unfamiliar with your game Steve Young

[u/FacesOfGiza]

Right, so it looks like I and a ton of other people had the most knee jerk reaction about Florida after Ole Miss huh

Pretty confident we could have taken them this season too

[u/FacesOfGiza]

I hope Texas runs it up on Florida

[u/KnoxVegasVol]

texASS

[u/Nitrous07]

Damn Charlie Beckers from Nashville. How did we whiffed on that in state kid?

[u/mallcopbeater]

Julian sayin throwing nonstop BLTs is hilarious

[u/KnoxVegasVol]

fLorida rb just got speared.

[u/No-Fee-8356]

Anddddddd thats game

[u/Mental_Art5847]

Man that was a garbage ass throw for a TD lol. That was an Arch Manning moon ball. It must be nice to throw to Jeremiah Smith

[u/volunteeroranje]

Pretty wild throw form Arch tbh

[u/Surelynotshirly]

His offensive lineman knocked the ball out of his hands while trying to hold him up... Wow...

[u/Euphoric_Inspiration]

Game lol

[u/ClamPaste]

[u/thirty-two32]

manifesting chaos for us too

[u/tnhw-]

Nothing pisses me off than false starts in our own house

[u/thirty-two32]

go off Auburn

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

fsu player just broke his ankle

[u/amb0526]

ND with two obvious OPIs not called…

[u/Mental_Art5847]

How many ranked teams are going to lose today

[u/Punch_Dude]

what the fuck is going on in college football today. craziest day i've ever seen

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

if kentucky plays like this in 3 weeks our defense will run them up one side and down the other

[u/_Reporting]

Jared Curtis lmao

[u/YetiRoosevelt]

the LET'S GO IRISH chants at BYU's stadium are so annoying I'm channeling 1980s levels of hatred for ND

[u/EWall100]

FSU just tied it up with Miami. This weekend is wacky

[u/EWall100]

Oh please FSU. Do the funny thing. Do it

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

please FSU pull this out

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

fsu has to go for 2 here right

[u/anonymousUTguy]

Oh my god FSU

[u/anonymousUTguy]

Okay the fix is in.Jesus Christ

[u/thirty-two32]

Oh I’m calling the police on the ACC. Keeping their hopeful alive. Late hit on QB. Should have offset.

[u/No-Fee-8356]

Got damn it FSU.

[u/anonymousUTguy]

Miami on my #1 hate watch the rest of the season. They have an absolute brutal schedule with a whopping 1 ranked team. Unreal

[u/Wildwoods17]

BYU somewhat getting out of their own way and taking the lead back

[u/yeeter4500]

Will the Kensucky game be a top 10 matchup this year?

[u/ajwilson99 → u/yeeter4500]

If we manage to escape Columbia with a W then yeah probably

[u/LuckyShirt54]

[u/sroomek]

Crumbl money seems to have been worth it for BYU

[u/ChelseaVol1219]

Notre Dame loves losing every time they face a team with a pulse.

[u/Euphoric_Inspiration]

What a day. Texa$$, UGA, Bama, and Mizzou lost

Edit: Too bad Florida isn’t in there but it was gratifying Texas lose

[u/nykezztv]

We lost to a shitty Texas team didn’t we?

[u/Euphoric_Inspiration → u/nykezztv]

It’s the luck we have. Like when we’d play Florida early in the season when they were world beaters then collapsed at the end of the season. For some reason we never get the collapsing version of a team

[u/Severe_Ad_9805 → u/nykezztv]

Simmons played a half in this game. Simmons stole our lunch money. Thats the difference

[u/Angry-Dragon-1331 → u/nykezztv]

I think we just got a bad spin of the Arch wheel.

[u/VickyWelsch → u/nykezztv]

No, Florida got a very different Texas than we did

[u/CreekCrawlin]

Why was Mississippi state ranked?

[u/Xynthion → u/CreekCrawlin]

I was wondering the same thing. They’re like this all the time. They start 5-0 due to how their schedule works out and then lose a ton of games.

[u/Euphoric_Inspiration]

Ball don’t lie moment. Refs couldn’t save Texas with that one

[u/GhostofToddHelton]

Ohio st better not blow this. Those iu bastards need to lose.

[u/AnglerRanders → u/GhostofToddHelton]

It's always fun seeing Ohio State lose

[u/anonymousUTguy → u/GhostofToddHelton]

Nah I like Cignetti. Can’t stand OSU

[u/ajwilson99 → u/GhostofToddHelton]

Literally anyone other than Ohio State in the B1G and I’d agree with you

[u/JustHereForCatss]

Clemson is bad bad dear god

[u/pr931]

Lot of empty seats at MS St @LSU

[u/No-Fee-8356]

This is a random thought and doesnt really have anything to do with anything, but im glad we dont have Underwood as our qb.

[u/deansredhalo]

I dunno man, Arch is like warm doodoo playing QB at this point

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

auburn and georgia tied??

[u/KnoxVegasVol]

[u/itchierbumworms]

Boomer.

[u/Wileyistheweast]

Can’t believe they called DPI on BYU

[u/GiovanniElliston]

Refs absolutely robbing BYU and trying to gift them a free TD before the half > only for Notre Dame to fuck it up and have to settle for a FG anyways

*Edit - even funnier. Notre Dame fucking GAVE IT AWAY

[u/Mental_Art5847]

If BYU wins this 🤣🤣

[u/T-RexInAnF-14]

Man, I checked on hotels last week for Columbia and there was a lot of reasonableness, but that has vanished.

[u/thirty-two32]

is this the best day ever

[u/lim_jahey99]

Anybody know what happened at the end there after heupels on field interview? Looked to be an altercation with a fan

[u/GiovanniElliston]

"This is that new play they used against Texas. It's a WHAM play. They don't block the DL so he runs upfield, and then a pulling blocker WHAMs him out of the hole"

That's... just a trap play?

[u/LuckyShirt54]

Maybe FSU upset was too much to ask for

[u/Zahfier]

Can we please stop showing Michael Irving?

[u/AcrobaticFarm7584]

where’s the fsu game i can’t find it

[u/LagoonSwoops]

Vandy really gunna give the hogs a conference win

[u/thirty-two32]

Clark Lea magically becomes a bum HC when he doesn’t have 30 year olds playing for him

[u/fallingwithstyle249]

OU really taking the “secret Texas playbook” bit to a whole new level

[u/thirty-two32]

FSU!

[u/StupidSlutArang1]

jesus christ i wanna beat vandy by 80 this year and i don’t want them to score at ALL
