THEY SHOULD'VE GIVEN IT TO LYNCH

Death to the Seahawks. Death to Seahawks posters.
sparty/ducks, usc/stanford look appealing, the rest should be some fun blowouts. wanna see more a&m and some maty mauk.

i loving hope yall are ready to watch wazzu/nevada tomorrow so you can savor what will inevitably be a meaningless win in a bowl-less season. watching the air raid torch some shitass team is always fun though

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
As high as people were on Solomon after UNLV, I felt like he made the same mistakes in that game and just got away with them because UNLV's secondary was at least a step slower than UTSA which meant that Arizona's receivers were able to make plays to fix his mistakes. There's still a lot of potential there, but I don't know if he's ready. Then again, this might be a year better spent on trying to get him experience since a bowl looks like a longshot anyway.

An interesting Deadspin article about whether the 'Gameday Curse' is real. Can you guess which team is the only one to have had at least five of their games featured on College Gameday, yet have never won?

It's Texas A&M

Small sample size, Georgia's probably the most Gameday-cursed. I remember the crowd at UGA/LSU Gameday last year begging Corso to pick the Tiger head.

None of A&M's losses are all that bad. They're last year against Bama, 2012 against Florida, a couple losses to good Oklahoma teams (2006 and the 2000 champs) and a mid-90s loss at Colorado.

Georgia's Gameday history is stock full of absolute bloodbaths (think '12 South Carolina or the Blackout game against Bama) and monumental screw-ups (the '02 loss to Florida that kept the Dawgs from playing the U for the championship).

I kind of want to go find this game and watch it to see what it looks like now. A&M all defense with an option offense I think? Colorado actually a good team.

A&M was #3 going into the game; Colorado was #7. Can't find any YouTube highlights of the specific game.

I just saw the score from last night... what happened to Arizona? Did they just suck or is UTSA decent or what? Didn't UTSA pound Houston in week 1?

90's A&M looked a lot like peak Beamerball.

Yes and yes. It really wasn't that big of a shocker, Arizona was only favored by 9.5 going in. They were kind of a combination of poor and unlucky, kicked 4 field goals inside the 20 yard line. As much as I like UTSA, I think this was the closest it ever would have been had they played ten times.

It was a three-point game. That's a pretty safe assumption simply given how rare safeties are

I disagree and think UTSA could have won that game. If not for UTSA shanking an extremely short field goal in the fourth quarter we could have had overtime, and overtime is enough of a crapshoot that UTSA could potentially have won there.

Overall, it certainly was more a case of 'Arizona played poorly' than 'UTSA played exceptionally well,' but as we all know, most teams have an unlimited potential for choking games away.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
Great defensive work, Panthers.
