Let's be real clear here, the committee moving Bama above ND is entirely to ensure they can keep Bama from getting squeezed out of the field if they lose to Georgia and BYU steals a bid. Completely unjustified by any model or advanced stat

When you have kids one day you just start talking like a dad. My kid slept in this morning and I greeted him with, "Glad to see you among the living!"

I've never used that phrase in my life. It just came out.

Imagine blowing a 3 td lead to a division rival
November 24, 2025 at 12:07 AM
If they blow a 21-0 lead in 31 minutes I will be very irate. Let's do something offense

How is this team so undisciplined

My goodness Nakobe Dean!

Annoying to give up that drive, more concerning is the lack of push up front. Can't give Dak clean pockets and time

Jalen Carter getting mugged every play, ok

Great Q1 for the Eagles, would love for them to put the boot to the Cowboys' neck

Potential for an all-PA 2nd round (or, Harvard going through the PA gauntlet to reach the quarterfinals)
Your FCS bracket is set!

The #CobraKaiAward for Excellence in Mercilessness for Week 13 goes to Notre Dame!

In a rare example of FBS winning the worldwide award, the Fighting Irish managed to surpass even the traditional SEC-FCS Saturday match-ups to top the week's divisional winners:

Watching everyone give love to Angeli made me happy, he's a good kid and we were all rooting for him this year. It sucked he got hurt when he was off to such a strong start, hope he gets healthy and comes back even stronger next year!

Notre Dame has run 5 plays on offense and they lead 35-0 with 4 minutes left in the 1st quarter

Don't know why but just thought of this classic College Humor sketch. "Silver bullet, coach!"

Magnificent work. Trying to remember what I would have seen at the time as an 8 year old without cable, but I think it even filtered to me. My uncle (he ran a big March Madness pool every year) probably shared the clips with me
For Big Game week between Cal and Stanford I tracked down the anonymous Oski and Stanford Tree who got into a nationally televised brawl on ESPN 30 years ago that required police intervention. The untold story involves 18 beers, suspensions & lots of blood.

My latest:

What really happened the night Oski beat up the Stanford Tree
"I must've been 18 beers deep at that point. I was in big trouble."

the Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champs and in position to be the #1 seed in the NFC.

every one of their games is excruciating to watch, all their fans spend every game completely furious, and every story is about how the team is in complete disarray

they're gonna repeat, Go Birds

Perfect Eagles game, we're winning and we hate our coach
November 17, 2025 at 4:24 AM
Jake Elliot with the big, big make. 10 point lead
