Black Friday College Football Thread
Happy "The Game" Eve!
Not the greatest of college football games on today but it's football.
Texas had a terrible first few drives and are down 14-7 after a long drive.
Va Tech down early against Virginia.
The shark lover has the Chips up 14-0 against Toledo.

Urban to Texas I believe.

to Coach the Cowboys!

When Chris Petersen went to Washington, I thought he'd create a west coast powerhouse. He's done okay there, but not as much as I thought he would. Anyway, I have a soft spot in my heart for Chris Petersen and the Huskies, so here's hoping they win today.
My wife says: "Wahoowah!" She's a UVA grad ...

It really did look that way for Peterson with all the success at Boise St. I remember him being thrown out as the next big deal coach.
November 29th, 2019 at 1:04 PM ^
I think we’d all take Petersen’s results of 2 conference titles and a playoff appearance with Ws over all rivals than what Harbaugh has done at Michigan.
It’s hard to win at Washington with how they were recruiting but Petersen has elevated their recruiting big time. Michigan will find out first hand next year to open the season due to the morons who make the football schedule.

That road game and at Sparty, at Minnesota and at OSU.
November 29th, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
This is not a good take. UW has a far easier path to a conf championship in the PAC 12 than UM does in the B1G. Not even close. They also don’t have rivals as good at football as M’s rivals. But hey, anything to shit on Harbaugh with, right?
November 29th, 2019 at 1:29 PM ^
Who’s shitting you n harbaugh? They were just stating a fact. Peterson has done more at UW than harbaugh has done at Michigan. My god why is everyone a sensitive child when someone says anything about harbaugh that could be viewed as negative. As far as who has an easier job yes Peterson has a much better chance of winning his conference for the reasons you stated. But Washington doesn’t recruit at our level so even that excuse you can say it’s even. We get better athletes but play a tougher schedule. All I want is to beat ohio state on Saturday!! And Gonzaga today!

If Toledo fired Coach Candle, I would much appreciate that. He's garbage.
I miss the old Puff-12 matchups with Texas vs A&M and Nebraska vs Colorado.
I also pull for Mike Leach, so Go Cougs
November 29th, 2019 at 1:02 PM ^
Yes, that Nebraska-Colorado was a
always a good one to watch. That wss was usually the day after Thanksgiving, correct?
November 29th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Yeah, now we get a faux rivalry of Iowa vs Nebraska
November 29th, 2019 at 1:20 PM ^
The Nebraska Iowa game has been very competitive and both teams have a large and loyal fan base. Makes more sense to be a rivalry than Nebraska Colorado
November 29th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Yes if I remember correctly. The Texas TAMU game was always thanksgiving day and Nebraska CU was the next day
November 29th, 2019 at 3:04 PM ^
Nebraska-Oklahoma was always the day after Thanksgiving.
November 29th, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
Texas seems to have some problems on defense. . .

Texas Tech seems to have some problems on defense. . .

Don't know why but Matt Millen no longer annoys me. That new heart did something.
November 29th, 2019 at 3:32 PM ^
Just the other day, I caught myself wondering, whatever happened to Jim Mora?
I'll be damned, I had no idea he was announcing this year.
November 29th, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
lol Kirk Ferentz punting from the 34. Why not kick a field goal?
November 29th, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
That pooch punt was the most Iowa thing ever
November 29th, 2019 at 5:44 PM ^
Logged in just to say Iowa got hosed, man. That was a catch.
November 29th, 2019 at 5:48 PM ^
Since I'm logged in anyway... Iowa just got hosed again! Forearm shiver to the head of a defenseless.

Pretty amazing post-game interview by Ferentz. He had trouble remembering the name of his player who caught the pass to set up the game-winning field call. He called him, "LaPorta or whatever his name is, the freshman kid." By an amazing coincidence, the freshman kid's name actually is "LaPorta," "Sam LaPorta." Ferentz ought to get to know him.
