Every year the NFL is like "this is the year we're gonna stop all this awful taunting that goes on in our league" and then by week 6 everyone has forgotten about it.

Some guy named "PFF Derek" is probably moving Jalen Hurts even further down his QB rankings after those 2 touchdowns.
Ben (@vtben.bsky.social)
It's so funny that someone on here posted that Philly fans are faking being genuine or emotional about their sports teams. I mean I don't like Ohio State fans but hell I know their feelings are real.

Just gonna get it on record I think Lamar finally does it this year. Ravens over Bucs in the Super Bowl.

Baskett more remembered for screwing up the Super Bowl onside kick for the Colts but he was one of the many Eagles wideouts of that era who "had potential."

It just sucks because 2K's proposal was a DLC with just a few big name schools.

Makes sense. Just feels like disappointing news
Ben (@vtben.bsky.social)
I'm not an expert on this stuff (subscribe to Matt's newsletter it's great!) but it seems weird that schools wouldn't go with an EA college hoops game after the massive success of the revived EA college football game.

The show's central message is "if you stand for nothing what do you stand for" which is something Dems have been criticized about for years.

A lot of this is 2008 Phils nostalgia and buying $5 tickets for games at Nats Park in my early 20s.

I didn't see any of the Cal game but I hear their new QB has promise. Mendoza looked fine from what I saw, not his fault his receiver dropped a perfectly thrown bomb that would've been a nice long TD.

For people I know that won't post here it's not the "everyone agrees with each other" or "too far left" aspect that is stopping them, it's this hall monitor vibe.

Why are so many people on this site trying to be freshman dorm RA's looking to find any sort of infraction to punish people on their halls?

Forgot that UNC's OC is Freddie Kitchens who couldn't get anything out of an offense with Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb, and prime OBJ.

Maybe lowkey the funniest thing @jonbois.bsky.social has ever done is the Bill Belichick Offseason Simulator.

UNC is doing the thing Boston College has been unable to do for years which is get New England interested in watching college football.

Crazy how TCU has been to the CFP final and now will have been the FBS coaching debuts for both Deion Sanders and Bill Belichick, all in the past 3 years.

Not on the schedule unfortunately

Wow didn't realize how good that catch was until I saw the replay. Anyway yeah Miami looks good. Look forward to seeing which 7-8 win ACC team screws up their season.

Do you think Wario Cristobal took over on that botch field goal?

Last night I had a dream I was about to start a grad program at University of Miami but decided against it last minute because the football stadium was too far from Coral Gables.

Just realized Clemson has lost opening games in their last 3 seasons. More like Dab0-1.

Just checked the What’s Hot Classic feed and it’s full of college football posts. This will be the last time I check What’s Hot Classic until next college football season begins.

Still strange to think Tom Allen is coaching this Clemson defense but he does have Midwest Dabo vibes I guess.

Look when a game has a 7:30 or 3:30 start time it should start then, not at like 7:52 or 3:44.

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I had to listen to the SEC whine all offseason about 9-3 Bama not getting in to the playoff, only to have them get pushed around by 2-10 Florida State?

Ben (@vtben.bsky.social)
Alabama would be 1-3 in their last 4 games if they lose this 🤔
Ben (@vtben.bsky.social)
Fortunately the other 59:49 went alright. Honestly we could’ve won by 30, kinda sloppy game but props to ODU for making it interesting longer than it should’ve been.

There was a commercial for the American conference that was a blatant ripoff of the Big Ten map commercial. No thanks

Not gonna be around during tonight's games so I'm just gonna schedule this post about Michigan State playing with its food for a half in a Friday night opener before getting their act together and winning by 20.

I fell asleep in the 3rd quarter and watched the rest at 6am, "the dad's delight." Anyway my take is if Raiola wants to live out his Mahomes dreams on the field then maybe he shouldn't be on a team coached by Matt Rhule.
Ben (@vtben.bsky.social) reply parent
hell yeah
Ben (@vtben.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair point. But "not sustainable in the future" isn't the same as "let the hospitals fail now as consequence for bad voting in 2024" which was the post that got me fired up initially.
Ben (@vtben.bsky.social) reply parent
I think when you don't have any interests outside of politics on here then you can find yourself posting your way into arguments about "oh well what if we just didn't save that hospital because I don't like 60% of the people who it serves." Anyway Baylor +1.5 tonight

I'm sorry I'm still stuck on this, I'm no real rural life enthusiast as I live right outside a city after all, I just think people don't understand that a lot of people in rural towns live regular lives in regular houses in small towns and not on farmlands or the woods.
Ben (@vtben.bsky.social)
I know quite a few people who left the rural town I went to high school in and came back later in life. I wouldn't call any of them "actively bad."
