FBC Week 9 running thread

Uh, why is it a nightmare for the BCS if Cincy beats UConn?

 

Deep down, I was hoping BOTH LSU and Alabama were going to stay undefeated for their game.

That would have been rather neat........espescially in Baton Rouge.

 

Yes

And AQB, nightmare in a sense that either team winning to stay alive in the Big East race makes the BCS bowls shiver. They pray that West Virginia somehow pulls it out.

 

Not penalty yards. Just penalties.

 

Why?

 

Well, if you think Cincinnati or UConn would be a name and a traveling block a BCS bowl would love, treasure your thoughts while the rest of the world winces.

 

Whether they travel or not is irrelevant to the commissioners. They still get their guaranteed money.

Now the bowl that gets stuck with them might be a little pissed. But they make each school guarantee a ridiculous amount of tickets so they get their money too.

 

Got a very bad feeling about the Georgia game this week. Main reason -- 2:30 kickoff.

As fanboi as it may sound, it's totally different at night. Just as Arkansas.

 

Andy Romans and Lafayette will handle Holy Cross soon enough.

 

One one hand you have a college named after a Frenchman. On the other hand you have a college named after THE Holy Cross of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. It's a no brianer. Unless you hate Jesus and love cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys - you are rooting for Holy Cross.

The only chance Lafayette has is an early snow to slow the Crusader air attack. Expect the Leopards to be extra slow from all that pre-game chili you know the team will be eating the night before. I expect at least one Lafayette player to literally shit their pants. Who schedules a chili cook-off to coincide with a football game? Lafayette has a gimmick for every home game it seems. They are worse than an AHL franchise. The school has no pride (just like their alumni - sorry bunch of fucks that they are).

At least that's my unbiased take on that game.

 

Did you know Joe Maddon attended Lafayette?

 

Did you know Louis Sockalexis went to Holy Cross?
