I don’t disagree with any of that, except that an inferior team should be treated as such. Act like you’ve won a game before. It was clear that Lanning was shitting bricks.

Clearly you have never been around too many coaches or even Uber competitive people. They take any sign of a slight and use it to their advantage regardless of the ranking or talent gap. Lanning always looks like he's going to blow a valve or an artery. The guy runs around practice tearing his shirt off swinging his dad bod around to try and fire up guys.
He just had 100X the normal attention due to the Prime hype machine. I can't argue the fact there probably was a bit more extra effort from the whole team, both players and coaches due to the fact a mediocre 3-0 team was getting all the spotlight when they were a 21 point under dog.

Buffs aren't going to beat the spread today......

Breaking ESPN news.. Sanders brothers hit Transfer Portal out of CU... Well not really but would be a hilarious Onion spoof.

QB Sanders is making more money than he'll make in the NFL right now. He'll stay another year unless he's a projected top 10 pick which he will not be after the next few games. No way he can make enough noise away from pops to come close to making the NIL payday at CU.

Well, Buffs are trying to make a comeback. Maybe I was wrong about the spread.

I predicted a "no defense track meet" with SC winning but not beating the spread. We shall see

Those CU kids had some fight in themselves today.

Sure did. Loads of young talent.

Not a hudge ND fan but they do keep it interesting. And fuck Duke anyways.

[The Reverend Floater]

USC isn't elite. Their offense? For sure. But you have to have at least a passable defense to be a top 10 team and so far their defense has been consistently trash. I wouldn't be surprised if they lose three games this season.

Hard to imagine a more nightmarish ending for the Dookies. Hope Leonard is alright

FWIW, Shadeur would have to be a Top 5 pick to earn what he is earing at CU right now(internet says $5mil). I dont think he would risk another year of college ball and a down year that plummets his draft stock and path to the NFL if he keeps balling. And make no mistake, he is fucking balling right now... and doing it behind a dogshit offensive line.

Yes and yes. Great comeback there.

Ole Miss / LSU was a wild one too tonight.

That's a great point about striking while the iron is hot. Lot of college players have stayed for one more year after a great season only to have a down year or have an injury that costs them millions. No doubt about his awesome numbers, I just can't tell if he's a high level NFL prospect due to the mostly shitty defense CU has seen so far. Against Oregon's decent D he looked very ordinary with exception of ONE drive and the other 4 opponents have been plain awful but his completion rate is through the roof for the season.

This. NC State also choked in epic fashion this weekend. That 4th and 16? OOF! Tarheels were off. Going to be a lot of sad campers at work this week.


Oregon's going to destroy USC

[SumJongGuy]

Well, Oklahoma finally has an opponent that can't be considered a "cupcake" yet. TexASS has a more experienced team for obvious reasons.. But the Sooners have a little depth this season so it should at least be "fun". I'm hoping to see the shorthorns in the Big 12 Championship game December regardless of how this Saturday turns out. Always hoping for that Sooner Magic to push Oklahoma over what's a better team on paper.

My kid will be there. I shortsightedly scheduled my COVID booster at 4pm east coast time so I'll probably be in CVS looking at my phone as this one winds down.

I do want to see Texas do well rest of the season.. A) because I did my grad school work in the UT system.. B) because I want to see Texas and Oklahoma to finish as the top 2 Big12 team leaving with forever bragging rights hahahahaha..

Let's focus on the Ducks-Dawgs game first. That might be the best PAC-12 game of the year.

But the Ducks-Trojans game could end up having an over/under of about 110.

Might? You layer the implications of a long standing rivalry rife with hate on top of the always-awkward Husky inferiority complex and it's a real doozy.

Do Huskies fans refer to themselves as Dawgs? That's almost as annoying as Miami co-opting "The U" from Utah.

[Buzzworthy]

85 Utes get a new truck (lease) for playing football on scholarship.

For sure.

And let the record show that I love the Utes, as long as they're not playing the Ducks. They brought smash mouth football to the Pac10!
