    Time to bust this out: The reason why college football is so great is because there are times when all involved have no idea what they are doing.

    Now that we have tasted mascot, we have become insatiable.
    BREAKING: The winning team of the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl will eat Tony the Tiger alive on the field during the postgame trophy ceremony.

    Lions dropped a fourth down conversion and a third down conversion and had an interception bounce off a dude’s face mask into a receiver’s arms for a 50 yard gain and we’re going to get bad fourth-down takes for days.

    Tired: Rooting for a conference. Wired: Rooting for a university system.
    🏈 The Texas A&M University System holds the lead after week 1

    Texas A&M could make SEC champ game w/o playing Ole Miss, Bama, UGA, OU, Vandy. GTech could make ACC title game w/o playing Miami, Lville, UVA, SMU, Duke. Ohio St could make B1G title game w/o playing Oregon, Indiana, Iowa, USC. This is not a good way to determine a champion.

    Brady will re-sign. Gronk comes back. Pats trade for Beckham. Pats trade up and draft Tua at # 13. Brady retires after winning the super bowl next year. Pats then win 5 Super Bowls in next 15 years with Tua.

    Somebody at ESPN needs to tell Joe Tess to stop saying UGA is in the CFP with a win. Dawgs probably are. But having it declared so by the announcer sounds bad.

    Show’s just about over. BTS Army is making some noise. Ears should stop ringing in about a week.

    I will never quite forgive the NFL for driving college football away from putting big games on Thursday nights throughout the season. The Big East made a living on those back in the day.

    CFP Semifinal, 1 p.m. ET Rose Bowl, 5:15 ET CFP Semifinal, 8:30 ET Seems so obvious

    Election Day. Or as sports writers call it, the day the news desk gets pizza for doing what the sports desk does every night. 😁👍🙀

    I think if Penn State and Auburn played they would both lose by 3.
