At least Lewis is booming the kickoffs.

They're going to have to call it Boogle now.

Sorry, but I think they’re a brilliant design. And, if the kids dig ‘em…

My question is When do blue bloods stop being blue bloods? Great question. Probably when the Lou Holtzs and Paul Feinbaums and other aging poobahs of the college football world are no longer spinning the narratives they created and learned decades ago. The college football world has changed a lot recently. Those guys, not so much. Quote

I would put Jackson Powers-Johnson in my top 5.

He's about as unequivocal as a person can be. Time to put the worries to bed.

The Shrinkinator was absolute gold.

The box marked "Decades of under-performance"? A box called "Complete culture change required"? The "Entitled Rich Booster Meddling" box? The box called "Unrealistic expectations"? The "Live in a West Texas hellhole" box? I think the view that the ATM job is dream of all college coaches plays into the notion that life is about only money.

Come for the fries, stay for the game!

#3 in the FPI rankings? If only that actually mattered in any way.

I think calling someone a "candidate" implies that person has decided to enter the race with interest in the job. Who else is a "candidate": Bill Belichick? Nick Saban? The Golden Bachelor? Go ahead and name away all you want, ATM.

In the hubris-and-money filled bubble that surrounds the ATM program, it is thought that they can name them, and they will come.

Mario would run the ball now.

Most of the media has long gone to bed.

Keep leaving the door open too many times.

Offense is too sloppy.

This announcer is embarrassing himself.

This game is still more nervous-making than i would like.

And, Bucky is back.

Another Bo-to-Bro TD!

Noooo,,, not Bucky!

I would say the Ducks are not playing up to “the standard” on offense.

It feels like the gap should be more than 15 points.

Bo is amped!

This is one of the moments I live for as a not-very-good sports fan: a season is a journey, and right now, right now, we have nothing but the fairest of winds and unlimited sunshine. Enjoy the voyage!
