I still love you for doing it.

I think that we might end the season with only two wins. And that's if we beat TN Martin, a team I had not heard of until they showed up on our schedule this year. The defense looked bad last night and it's sad that we didn't seem to make any adjustments. No pressure on the QB, unable to tackle in space, gave up tons of chunk plays. The running game looked better than the last two weeks. Hopefully our younger receivers can step up because we've now lost three to broken bones. It's a bad sign. I hope we burn all the redshirts and play everyone if we lose next week. I think the fan base will go crazy if we lose next week and Brandon Allen is still the QB the week after. It will be time to prepare for next year.

I was wrong about the SEC West this year. I dismissed Ole Miss and thought LSU would end up in the bottom half and maybe I'll be right in the end but at this point they are looking pretty good. I was worried about A&M and still think they may win the conference. I'm surprised at Auburn. I had thought Alabama might end up third in the conference and they actually might this year.

Our O line actually showed up to play that game and we still had receivers. Now our O line doesn't seem to be bothered half the time and we are down 3 WR, which makes the loss of one of our 1000 yard backs even more hurtful.

I can't believe this is going to be a 2-10 season. I knew it wasn't going to be 10-2 but I was hoping to at least make it back to 6-6 and maybe push on and be 7-5.

Alabama still going to the playoffs y'all.

In OKState news they are still probably not a good team even scoring 70 points. UTSA gave us the ball 7 times. Defense has looked good. I still think our QBs are terrible.

BG and Memphis shot the drat lights out for 85 combined points and 1,120 yards combined of offense. Track meet games are fun as gently caress, even if we lose.

In 3 games, Johnson already has 1,358 passing yards for 12 TDs and 1 pick. Lewis has 24 catches for 510 yards and 5 TDs and he's only a sophomore. This loving offense is bananas :stare:

I think that the o-line looked much better this week and Collins did a good job. I think that the receivers looked good even though they weren't our starters. I think that Brandon Allen is doing much better but will never be a clutch QB. The defensive scheme was probably the main problem this game and I'm hoping that it will change. The problem is that I fear we just don't have the personnel to play the way we need to win the upcoming games.

If we drop to 1-3 next week and are facing two away games after that we should bench Allen and let the future get some reps.

So the Muschamp Effect appears to be a real thing. Came to a school known for offense, destroys offense. Goes back to run the defense at another top school, that defense begins to look like a lot like a used coffee filter. And the dude is still getting paid millions by both schools. At this point maybe he should just give lessons in how to rob SEC schools of their money and futures.

Nick Saban lost 1/8" off his back teeth last night due to incessant, infuriated grinding. I bet this morning's staff meeting was a hell of a thing. Monday's drive home listening to Finebaum is going to be a hoot, I'm hoping for a wall of enraged jungle sounds.

LOL at Texas, even though I grieve for their kicker. I wonder if it's possible to actually feel your entire state hating you.

Double LOL at the UF radio announcers last night breathlessly saying over and over "The Gators are now THREE AND OH, all they are doing is winning!" during the post-game. Flexing after beating loving Kentucky in a who-can-poo poo-harder contest, my Lord. Beating Kentucky like a drum is your birthright, Gators, not something to cheer over barely doing. Also, what the gently caress is up with six penalties a drive or whatever insane number UF is pulling right now? Hey maybe they can poach Muschamp away from Auburn to instill some discipline in the team!

Btw the Seminoles are now THREE AND OH, all they are doing is winning! (for now) Are they actually any good? :iiam: Guess we'll find out soon enough.

And last but not least, God drat Nebraska for letting Miami snake out a win. On the positive side, this might buy Al Golden a few more games to continue screwing that program into the dirt with a pneumatic drill. Maybe this will get us something half as hilarious as #RISEANDGRIND.

This is fantastic. Kingsbury's usually such a chill dude he musta been really pissed at Bielema.


Also the Jerrod Heard show is real and is beautiful. That was a terrible way to lose a game but this is the 1st game that made me feel like Strong is starting to get things moving in a good direction. We had a lot of offense that we didn't see before. The defense could have done much better but Cal is also talented offensively so while not terrible, still worrisome and hopefully something that the younger players can get coached up on through the year.

Last thoughts:

Notre Dame just flat outplayed us.
I have no clue what happened to the offense, because they weren't executing (even ignoring ND's much, much better defense than our cupcakes) like they used to. I think they got rattled? I dunno.
UGA is going to mudhole us, we'll lose to one or both of FSU/Clemson, maybe another 'what the gently caress' loss to a bad team. Worst case is 7-5, best case is 10-2, most likely is 8-4 or 9-3 with a respectable second tier bowl.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MAD-2R World
As a tragicomic sidenote, Army Football appears to have completed the transformation from their 2010 peak of "lower-tier ironically scrappy underdog team that might sneak into an absolute bottom-barrel bowl game every decade" to "unalloyed loving poo poo." You expect a team fielding endearingly undersized offensive guards and receivers that can't break a 5.0 40 to lose a lot, but they've devolved to the point where they lose shootouts to Fordham and choke away game against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, which are word combinations that don't make sense in the English language. They're currently the 124th ranked team in Division I FBS, but they definitely have room to fall since the Idaho Vandals are currently ranked lower but actually won a game.

Duke or Penn State might set NCAA scoring records against them. The only potential win on their schedule is a game against the Bucknell Bison. The team's existence looks suspiciously like a felony misappropriation of government funds, or some kind of money-laundering scheme the mob is running through the hot dog stands at Michie Stadium.

What's bizarre is that the other service academies are functionally identical institutions, yet somehow field watchable football teams every year anyway, while Army Football is an eternal flame of burning human poo poo in a 55 gallon oil drum. At this point the Army football program is just a way to give future infantry officers CTE and PTSD before going into combat. Their stadium should be filled in with concrete and then pushed into the Hudson River with high explosives as a training exercise for the Corps of Engineers.

Yeah, I'm still predicting 8-9 wins. Good to build off of, but not enough to go to the conference championship.

That was so close to a win if we made the stupid FG and we hadn't dropped that walk in TD. Still a fun game, but we got outcoached in the 4th quarter. I still think we can beat Purdue next week and go 2-2 into conference play though, which is better than a lot of people though we'd do. If VT can put up 50 points on Purdue, I can only imagine what Johnson will do to them. He's gonna destroy the passing record this year at this rate.

No sane UF fan thinks this team is very good. Schizophrenic at best--but likely comatose on offense as usual.

Muschamp exacerbated an already pervasive penalty culture at UF--the hangover is going to be long and nauseating, with several runny dumps and Gatorades.

I just hope you guys don't have your Hulk-out moment against FSU. Those penalties do remind me very much of FSU at the end of the Bowden years, seemed like we'd get one called on us every other play for the stupidest poo poo imaginable. I bet there are going to be some unbelievably miserable Gators an hour into Monday's practice.

Texas had the same poo poo. Defense turns into a bunch of highlight reel building idiots because hey the offense will just go score again and then finally when we actually do need a stop and they get it the drive continues because some fuckhead laid out a dude after the play

You mean I have to go to Philly?
Took some time to come up with my thoughts about this UK team without being in the heat of the moment:

-Defense is way ahead of where I thought it would be. It'll take a step back once we play more potent offensive teams like Georgia but it's starting to show toughness and ability to make plays. It seems Elliott/Stoops is finally starting to get their identity and given that most of the talented players are freshmen and sophomores, it's hard not to look ahead a bit and imagine what the ceiling is.

-Offense was putrid, the staff constantly harped in the off-season about how good the offense would be but it's been bad. Through 12 quarters UK has had 2 great quarters, 2 solid quarters, and 8 atrocious quarters. Talented WRs dropping catchable balls, poor blocking by the OTs, and QB play has been miserable. RBs are cool though, could block a bit better but overall, pretty good so far.

-Patrick Towles isn't going to cut it, he is sloooow on his reads and woefully innacurate (51% in his last 9 games). The air raid depends on quick decisions and accurate short to mid range passes which is by far Towles' biggest weaknesses. Either Barker is truly bad or the staff is falling into the "look at those physical tools, wait until he puts it together" thought process.

-Finally, Dawson has been extremely poor. He was touted as being Holgorsen's right hand man for those potent WVU offenses but he has been unimaginative and very poor at adjusting to the other team. Frankly, he looks like a terrible hire and a significant step back from Brown so far.


Overall, I'm not displeased since UK still has a good chance to start 4-1 and make a bowl game. However, there is enough to make me nervous that UK will screw up a winnable game and UK can't afford to drop a game they should win given that this is a "show me results" year for recruits.
