Ahh, my MOUNTAINEERS did it again. They should be 2-0!!! App State and the SunBelt as a whole showed-up Saturday!!!!

Yup.  App State has become legendary at putting big dents in big name programs records.  As one who loves rooting for the underdogs (except when they play ND ), these upsets make things way more interesting.

Last night had me sweating and pacing, but we came out on top to move to 2-0. We outplayed Nebraska across the board and if not for two turnovers and a time runoff to end the first half with us on the 1-yard line, we would've won by a lot more. Tighten up the defense, win the turnover battle, and UAB is next!

Great win, but I'll tell you who's really doing the sweating and pacing... Scott Frost!

Yes, for me this match was very impressive, and yes, I agree with you. Besides that to watch this match I had to turn to https://edubirdie.com/write-papers-for-money to write papers for money, this saved me a lot, because all my colleagues went to watch this match and I had to do the dissertation I was going to present the next day. I am very glad that I have this opportunity and now I have started doing independent football classes to create my own team and participate in college football.

Looks like my comment that you're quoting somehow got hacked. Weird.

Had a chance to check a stadium/campus visit off my list with a trip to Lane Stadium at VT … seeing ‘Enter the Sandman’ in person was worth it.

Albeit both Miami and VT are categorically awful at football this year and the game reflected that … but a great trip nonetheless.

Plus, the local VT fans were all very hospitable. Welcoming us to VT, if I was enjoying my visit and if any VT fans had given me a hard time. Classy group of fans.

Would like to do that venue in person as well after seeing this, the first game back from lockdown, the place was nuts.

Good year to have missed lots of college football... especially as a ND fan .  The move to AZ and house start-up has left little time for sports watching of any kind.  Marcus will get a free pass this season but not next year. At this point a 5 win finish will be a heavy lift.

We had a great game in Athens, Ga. this afternoon!

Go Dawgs......

Looks like the Vols missed the bus for the trip.

Not that it matters, but Kentucky beat Missouri 21 to 17.

I know @fixyurdivot is happy that Notre Dame beat Clemson. As a Georgia fan always says, anytime a team in orange loses, it's a good day.

As a TN fan, that was more than painful to see, but wow, Georgia is solid!

I was not trying to rub it in, Tenn has a very good football team. I think the big difference was the game being played in Athens. Win the rest of your games and you have a great shot at making the final four.

I think it hurts more for us because most of us were just hoping for an 8 win season. We  are mainly playing with transfers right now and are still on a high to even be where we are.

Go Dawgs!!!  Let's finish this undefeated!

Well, lets see what else transpires today............#3 and #4 both lose. Does that open the door for #'s 5&6. What if #2 (Mich) should lose to Purdue (doubtful - but what if) Could be a crazy ending to the playoffs............

When you sack the QB and pick him up with one arm!

Go Dawgs!

That was the coolest thing I've ever seen in football!

Mixed feelings about the "player portal" system... needs further refinement and limits IMO but I digress.  Looks like Tyler Buchner will be back at the helm tomorrows Gator Bowl in what should be a really well matched game.  South Carolina finished strong and will be a contest even if Buchner is back to reasonable form.

Regardless, the ND QB horizon looks bright with Kenny Michney having committed for 2023, CJ Carr in 2024, and possibly a surprise, last year of eligibility, appearance from Sam Hartman for next season (that would be HUGE!)... the portal system taketh-away and giveith .

So how is your team (teams) fairing this bowl season?

My dream ending is TCU upsetting Michigan, but a close second is either OSU or Georgia sending them back to Ann Arbor with no hardware to check-in at security .

That was one heck of a Gator Bowl and comeback by the Irish.  We can only hope the remaining contests are as well matched and entertaining.

That was a good game. The Sun Bowl was another good one.

[MacTourney]

There have been some great bowl game pairings over a good span during more recent times,  but old school is my middle name and I keep drifting back to the days of epic battles centered around the purebreds- Cotton, Sugar, Orange, and of course Rose.

Now we have Potato Bowl, Cheetos Bowl, and....drum roll please, the Mayonnaise Bowl.    Good grief!

Hope that Chicken s$$t RTP call doesn't factor into the ending... REEDICKYOULUSS .  Come on TCU... get it done!

All I can say is…..Kentucky without a quarterback is like a high school team…..horrible performance.
