2013 NCAAF Week 5

[Dolfan in NYC]

Ole Miss @ Bama

Wisconsin @ THE OSU

LSU @ UGa

Oklahoma @ ND

 

Now that's more like it.  

[Brian Fowler]

Well, at least Michigan won't scare the shit out of me this week.

[Craig H]

Ugh. Oklahoma is coming to South Bend looking for revenge and this year's defense is a tad worse than last year's and the offense is significantly worse with Tommy Rees at QB and Brian Kelly, for some ungodly reason, is unwilling to trust Cam McDaniel, or any of the RBs on short yardage situations. They should have blown out Michigan State, but Rees sucks at QB and couldn't hit any of his WRs that were beating the State DBs all day. Any big passing plays came off of Rees chucking it on 3rd and 1, but underthrowing the pass and having his ass saved by ND's talented WR corps. ND has had the most backwards ass way of grinding out victories this year. They have an excellent bunch of RBs and WRs and an ultra shitty QB that is a gigantic liability because Kelly keeps having him air it out and Rees isn't Golson or Zaire and lacks the talent and skill for throwing the deep ball. 

 

I just don't get it. Kelly changed the offense from the shotgun to the pistol this year, primarily because Rees isn't Golson and it would allow Rees to use more options and short passes to avoid the risk of getting picked off. If Golson weren't such an idiot and didn't miss this year, I would say that the team had a pretty good shot at 11-1 or 10-2 given the other weapons on the team. Instead we have Barney Fife in the pocket just waiting to shoot himself in the foot.

FSU is trying to stop a guy from selling a very popular shirt with Freshman QB Jameis Winston on it.

 

Can't imagine why

[Burgundy LaRue]

Dang.  Even the Tebowmaniacs didn't go that far (for obvious reasons, naturally).

[Death From Above]

That looks like something Stevie Richards would have worn in ECW as a joke in the mid 1990's. Like Cactus Jack's awesome FORGIVE ME UNCLE ERIC shirt, only this isn't awesome.

[Brian Fowler]

The part of me that is utterly sacrilegious loves that shirt.

 

The part of me that gives a damn about design and taste does not.

Why would they be offended by a shirt with a picture of Billy Dee Williams on it?

[Brisco]

I am not confident South Carolina can walk out with a win against Central Florida in Orlando. I am still not sold on this years Gamecock team.

 

I think Ole Miss can beat Bama, and Arizona/Washington will be good. Loving the coverage the west coast teams are getting this year. There is always football past midnight now.

[Super Ape]

I never go on these threads because I refuse to watch college sports after the love tap the NCAA gave Penn State and called "sanctions." And the NCAA undoing them and giving them their scholarships back is... Well, write your own conclusion.

[Dolfan in NYC]

I swear to god, if the Hurricanes get anything after all of this bullshit...

[EVA]

I bet Reese, Mark May, and Dr. Lou fucking hate it. College Football Final has gotten pushed to an ungodly late hour because of it.

Breesus went there first.  Was made as part of a larger parody but picked up pretty big by Saints fans. 

 

 

Also really hoping Georgia stomps a mudhole in LSU but I'm not seeing it happening at all.

[EVA]

I've got my Crimson Tide on upset alert tonight. Ole Miss is a very tricky team to play with their gimmick offense. I think Bama will need to score 30 to 35 to win this one. If the offense plays like it did agains A&M, there's no problem. If it plays like it did against VT and Colorado State, Bama is going down.

[Brisco]

I hope the game turns out to be as entertaining as the A&M game. I hate the early start time if LSU/UGA is a great game I will miss the first quarter.

 

Early prediction one of these big games goes into multiple overtimes.

[Pete]

LMAO as Corso takes LSU to a wild ovation from the Georgia fans who didn't want him jinxing them. Beautiful.

Oklahoma State's Pistol Pete helmets are awesome.

[EVA]

I'm really interested to see if LSU is for real today. With all the focus on Bama and A&M this season, I thought they were the sleeper to win the West. They even got to sit back and watch those two go at each other first. I see a lot of things I like from them, but that TCU win doesn't look as impressive now, and I thought Auburn gave them a tough game in the second half once the torrential downpour stopped.

I was the exact opposite. I thought both A&M (because of Manziel's offseason shenanigans and defensive coordinators having 9 months) and LSU (because of how much they lost) would be way down this season. I predicted that Ole Miss would finish second in the West behind Bama.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Don't listen to Eva, this will be Bama by 20+ ... mark it down

 

South Carolina is looking like dogshit and Shaw is out.

[Brisco]

Shaw being out I am not worried about as much as SC playing like a JV team.

[EVA]

Man, Clowney has turned into such a joke this season. Midway through the 2nd quarter, ESPN ran a graphic saying he had played "all 18 snaps at DE." And I was like, HE'S ONLY PLAYED 18 SNAPS IN A QUARTER AND A HALF?

[Brisco]

It is 1999 again for the Gamecocks. If the receivers ever decide they want to catch a ball we might have a shot at a comeback.

[hammerva]

Still very early but WVU is up 24-14 on Oklahoma State.  Clint Trickett isn't a great looking QB but at least he doesn't look scared shitless like the others. 

[Brisco]

There are no words to describe how bad that first half was. Just painful to watch.

[The Erotic Terrorist]

I know that UCF will likely be one of the best teams in the American Conference when the year's over with but I am also flabbergasted that the Gamecocks are losing this game. I suppose that Connor Shaw and now likely Brandon Wilds being injured and out of the game will cause such a result. At least the people I know who went to that school will be happy.

 

I may have to say this in every game they play the rest of the season, but poor South Florida. Losing 42-7 to the Hurricanes is bad enough; they had a punt that traveled 2 yards. They did not just hit rock bottom, they crashed full speed into rock bottom.
