2017-2018 Bowl Season

[skibum]

If you asked me at the beginning of September what was the worst way this college football season could end, I would have told you Colorado missing a bowl game and the national championship game having two SEC teams.

**** me.

 

[Buffnik]

Damn... I told the kids that if OU won and we won the lottery, I'd take them to the championship game.

I guess that means I won't win the lottery.

I hate 2018!

Guess that means that if you win the lottery you'll have to let @unionbuff decide how the money gets spent.

Mayfield isn't a douche. How silly.

Could you imagine how truly douche QBs like Manziel and Newton would have reacted if the ball was basically taken out of their hands for the 4th quarter of the biggest game of their lives - and they lost?

Contrary to the earlier comment, Baker was all class tonight.

If I was an NFL GM and had to bet on one of the QBs this year working out, I’d go all in on Mayfield. Dude has everything you want from a franchise QB with the exception of height and hand size.

Could be worse.

If Nebraska and Baylor ever play in the title game, that might just kill me.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

In case anyone missed the sarcasm...

What sarcasm? I thought Duff was a huge fan of Hurts!

 

[SBG]

For the record, I respect the hell out of UGA. Pretty much the only team from the SEC that regularly leaves the region for meaningful games during the regular season.

Tennessee used to do that, but recently it's only been UGA willing to do that.

Yup. They travel west of the Mississippi at times. They played at Notre Dame and their fans showed up. That was a beautiful thing to see.

 

[Alfred91]

Damn. Bama is throttling Clemson so far.

If Saban ends up winning a national title after not winning the SEC, I'll ****ing puke.

Texas A&M

 

[Buffnik]

Texas A&M

True. But I still don't think of them as an SEC program. Considering that current recruits weren't even in puberty when they made that conference switch, the only take away here is that I'm old.

 

[jizzrag85]

Clemson QB is shifty, he’s got the talent.

 

[chipwich]

**** ESPN. I just streamed the UGA OU game and now I'm getting the message that ESPN is not included in my current TV subscription.

 

[Alfred91]

How is that not PI by the Alabama DB?

Dude never looked back until the ball was there.

 

[RollTad21]

And was pulling his arm so the guy could only go up with 1 hand. There are different rules for Alabama

 

[Tea Rex]

Damn Hurts has an amazing arm.

Poor Ridley.

 

[Buffnik]

Bama winning the LOS so far tonight.

 

[Duff Man]

Announcers fawning all over Hurts... a glorious tradition.

 

[manhattanbuff]

Alabama got a little #collegekickers just now. Dude is terrible

 

[Alfred91]

It's just karmic justice that the kicker missed that second attempt, too.

 

[jizzrag85]

Them were some ugly kicks. Yikes.

 

[rscmac]

Pac 12 needs better coaching and front 7 players to compete in the college playoffs. Georgia is going to be a problem for a while.

 

[Medford M.]

Announcers fawning all over Hurts... a glorious tradition.

I don't get it. Guy can't throw. Bama offense is run, run, Hurts scramble.

 

[Duff Man]

I don't get it. Guy can't throw. Bama offense is run, run, Hurts scramble.

He is not very good, but what makes it worse is their backup QB is being wasted. True NFL type talent.

Tua is a legit talent. No question.

 

[jizzrag85]

Tua is a legit talent. No question.

So Alabama will be even better? **** me.

 

[Johnny Juzang]

Clemson is turning the tide.

 

[Medford M.]

So Alabama will be even better? **** me.

Depends. He might leave for all we know if Saban keeps Hurts the starter.

 

[manhattanbuff]

Payne interception and TD reception. Oh my god

 

[14er]

The tide has turned.

 

[Jens1893]

how safe am i to go to bed here?

 

[Daaah]

Shouldn't that have been a false start or illegal procedure on the kicker at the end of the second half in the Georgia game? He started forward before the ball was snapped and was moving forward when the ball was snapped. That's not legal is it?
