It's rivalry week! If your conference has been stable the past decade, which is none of them. The sad fact is about half of all the cool rivalries have been rendered inactive due to conference realignment. Now, Texas plays TCU or Texas Tech and Texas A&M plays LSU, and neither game means anything.

Also, I realize this thread exists a day early, but really? A thread just for A&M/LSU? Shameful.

You know what would be amazing? Is if the Houston players were purposely throwing this game so that LSU & Texas would lose interest in Herman and so that Houston was able to keep him

NC State's uniforms look identical to Houston's and North Carolina's are almost identical to Memphis. If you are flipping back and forth between games like me, it can get confusing

I hope you do. You have made an enemy out of me. You had ONE job, beat SC. Now they are in a position to steal the Rose Bowl from us, if we get to the Pac 12 title game and lose to you guys. Now I'm rooting for the Cougs to pull off the upset, because I know we can beat them

Houston's defense is getting shredded.

Memphis has such tacky helmets and end zone design. Seems to be working so far though.

I sure hope the Nebraska football Huskers beat Iowa today. I'm still not a huge fan of manufactured rivalries, but someday maybe Iowa and Nebraska will have their heads out of their asses at the same time and this game will mean something.

Either way, both teams are true HEROES :911:

Why the hell does Memphis keep abandoning the run once they get to the red zone? They are running the ball down Houston's throat between the 20s and then they just stop trying in the red zone :psyduck:
