Florida beat Texas 29-21, and our superb OBD member, GatOrlando, has been suffering through the beginning of the season. We've all been there, and I am very happy to know how delighted he probably is.

While it is not beating Florida State or Miami...beating Texas has to rank right up there! Sweet!

Great win. It ensures a trip to Eugene for the Gameday crew. Lots of trees for Peter (Herbie’s dog) to mark on campus.

Doubt it, it's still Oklahoma-Texas, I don't think they ever miss that game.

While it’s popular with the Gameday crew they have only held their show there in ‘23, ‘21, and ‘18 in the last ten years. Before that, the last time it was in Dallas was 2002. I think Eugene is a lock.

Oklahoma is getting a lot of mileage for their win over a mediocre Michigan team at home. They are no where near top 5 in the country.

Is it wrong that I'm feeling two ways about a win by the team I want nothing but success? Short term I'm elated to see a top 10 win and love it for the current guys who've stayed through the turmoil and worked their butts off.

I've seen this script before though. Last year with LSU, Ole Miss, FSU and the bowl game. It's why Billy was retained and Lagway was a Heisman candidate. But the season started and before we even got to October it was done. There isn't a snowballs chance at a conference or playoff. At Florida that isn't good enough. Napier is now 22-22 in his fourth year, he isn't the answer. My fear is they beat enough decent teams that the leadership gets fooled again. It's never going to happen and the sooner everyone knows that the better.

Best case scenario is Billy has been told quietly this is it and he goes out on a high. He is a good man and I hope he gets another shot and succeeds.

Hats off to the Gators and Gat!

Hats off to my betting buddies who convinced our consortium to bet the under preseason win total for Clemson and Texas.

Guys who played on a 4-loss team at Clemson last season were being lauded as preseason All-Americans. Texas lost many quality players from last year's team, the Archie adulation was hive mind hideous, and what has Sark won in his career? A B12 title with a superior roster in that conference. BTW, he defeated Mike Gundy in the B12 champ game to win the title. 😁

If you are hungry in Austin, Texas, do not look for Golden Arches.

And frankly, Franklin overpaid for Jim Knowles, and is overpaid himself at PSU.

One old Patriot, Mike Patricia, looks like the assistant coach hire of the year. Did anyone in Chapel Hill check Billy's record without Tommy?

Saturday's Assistant Coach of the Week 6 Award goes to Jerry Neuheisel. If Nits fans are ticked off about Jerry's Dad not being objective on Saturday ... 🤬🤬🤬. It's OK, hockey season has started. 🤣🤣🤣

As is often the case, on a down CFB weekend, CFB came through. 😍😍😍

PS - In T-Town, Don Diego couldn't cash the checks he wrote with his mouth. Even with Johnny Football on the sideline. 🤑

One of these days I'm going to have the nerve to put some money down on -24 point home underdog and hopefully cash out big time. I was told gambling is a vice, but in small amounts it's pretty fun. I don't know how to play many of the tables in Vegas so betting on football is about as close to living on that edge as I'll ever get😂.

I wonder if Penn State will have the money to do a fifty five million buyout for Franklin and his three million dollar coordinators.

lol…bettors like to talk about winning. Moderation is the difference between vice, and fun.

On Monday, I have to meet with my business partner who is as avid a Texas Longhorn as I am an Oregon Duck. I told him after the Saturday Longhorn debacle that I have the ability to make him an honorary Oregon DUCK and I might throw in my Phil Knight bobblehead as well. What will his answer be???
