Bye Bye Bama! That was some game against Tennessee

Also not sure how Penn State gave up over 400 yards in rushing, that was pretty sad for them.

UT goalposts ended up in the river. Everyone in TN should send Sabam a “thank you” card for his time mis-management at the end.

the river???? anyone with any smarts woulda gotten the sawzall out and sold souvenirs on ebay.

I wouldn't count Bama out yet. They still control their destiny. 

That they do.  If they win out, they're in.  But they need to really get better on defense to compete for the title.  I expect Georgia to beat them in the SEC title game,  eliminating them. 

I heard the commentators say the same thing. But I don’t see how they make the top 4 with Georgia, UT, Michigan, Clemson and Ohio still undefeated unless 2 of those teams lose a game.

Juat looked up the schedules. I knew Ohio and Michigan played, didn’t know UT and Georgia did. So there will be at least 2 losses in these top 5 teams.

Ohio will not beat Michigan.  The Bobcats aren't good and they aren't in the BiG 

But the Ohio State University will throttle those fuckers from up north.

Usually they surround the goalposts with cops to be safe.  I got to storm the field in 2006 when #1 OSU beat #2 Michigan 41-39 (great game!) and there was no getting near the uprights.  It was the last game on the turf so everyone was tearing up sod and taking it home.  I grabbed about a 2x2 and planted it in my backyard.

The rumor is they ordered new goalposts a few weeks ago so they could let the fans/students do this in case they won.
the fact they are already installing new ones today makes it seem like it might be true. And that they are doing a go fund me for 160K to replace them, using this as a cash grab opportunity.

I've only been into college football 6 or 7 years and forget which ones get the State in their name half the time. 
My wife's family gives me crap every time I get it wrong. They could ask what just happened in a game and I'll respond "Florida just scored a touchdown." And they'll respond "You mean Florida State?" Uhh, that's the game we are watching, so yeah. I don't get why college fans are so anal about the differences when the team you're referring to is obvious. 
Not complaining about you, just saying in general, they're all pretty anal about that. I don't get it.

I thought the same thing at first. But the video is pretty funny. there were dozens of people carrying it downtown, outside bars and such. Good luck trying to convince everyone else to let you be the one to take it home. So they just tossed it in the Tennessee River. It actually floated, who knew. May just wind up in some bank down river and someone in a boat picks it up.

especially for 160k when the goalposts supposedly cost around 12k.

Having lived in FL for a decade at one point, you definitely CANNOT mix Florida and Florida State.  OU and OSU are not rivals, so that's more joking.  The UF/FSU one are world's apart.  Those two fan bases really, really despise each other.

My sister, an NC State alum, can't stand it when someone refers to them as North Carolina. She responds with either "we're NC State" or "we're not the Tar Holes." Sometimes both depending on who said it lol.

Its easier for me to remember mascots than which one is "state" or not. The one that kills me is Cal. With 100 state schools, why is UC Berkley the one known as California? Makes no sense to me. Just go by Berkley.

Yeah, nobody calls it UC Berkeley.

Just is what it is.

Looking forward to the big game in Athens this weekend.  GO DAWGS!

I'm not sold on TN yet.  I think UGA wins by 17+ and knocks out the Vols from the picture.  It will still come down to UGA vs Bama for a spot (or two).  I just don't think great teams come from nowhere, it takes multiple classes and development to make a real run.  I don't see 7-6 go to undefeated.  Not saying it can't happen, but it would be an aberration.

I'll take a 17 point win right now without teeing it up! Should be a fun atmosphere. Headed to Athens on Friday after work for the game. Thought about taking my PJ flag to Game Day.

I side with your in-laws. there is a big difference to college fans on whether or not the school ends with the word "state".

That being said. Just show up, enjoy a few drinks and enjoy whatever game you are at/watching on tv. Your in-laws should be happy that you are at least trying to show interest in something they like.
