NCAA Week 8 Running Thread

I'm still thinking upset tomorrow. Rutgers 34, South Florida 30

 

No way Rutgers pulls it off. That game will finally show the world how much they've turned it around since last season. I've seen three games and remain unimpressed.

That being said, South Florida could entirely lose a game strictly based on the hype. It's bound to happen. By the time they come back home, they'll have tripped up at least once.

 

Piscataway -- the graveyard of would-be champions.

 

Sounds like a slogan. Will that be painted on the stadium walls for the game? ;D

2006 MU, 38-21 at Lubbock

Two of Missouri's touchdowns last season came off interceptions for touchdowns on back-to-back possessions. Harrell had those two INTs and lost three fumbles last year. Five turnovers by the qb = less than 50 points.

 

Sign No. 328 that it's a weird year in college football.

Tennessee and Alabama both control their own destinies in the SEC, it's Saban's first game in the series, UT's ranked, Bama's almost ranked ... and ... it's the JP game, because Kentucky is ranked No. 8 in the country and hosting Florida.

(Hey ... it will always be JP to me ... fuck this LF shit).

 

What the fuck is a JP or a LF game?

 

Jefferson Pilot, Lincoln Financial
One morphed into the other. It's a Southeast thing.

 

Are JP/LF games like games on ESPNPlus? I've always lived in the Midwest and only seen JP/LF on Sportscenter highlights.

 

No, but you can get them on the ESPN gameplan package.

 

And they're the most poorly produced football games you'll ever see.

 

Obviously, you've never watched a game on South Carolina E-TV.
