College Football Week 8

Angrier than I've ever seen him, apparently it was much worse in the locker room after the game. It will not be a fun week of practice.

 

I'm hoping that doesn't happen. Already got my tickets for the Iron Bowl this year. Going to Tuscaloosa to pull the Tigers through.

 

A&M is number 7 anything else is gravy.

 

If you decide to go to the game, there are plenty of tickets out there dirt-cheap, FYI. StubHub has them for $33, and I'd bet they are even cheaper on Craigslist.

 

No they won't.

 

Hmmmmm....

 

Their attitude(or arrogance) was part of the problem.

I am actually upset that MSU beat Wiscy because Ohio State will not get a shot to beat them.

 

How do you get rid of the arrogance/attitude?


Anyhow, Some strong words from Mack:

Baylor is ranked in both polls! 24 in Coaches and 25 in AP.

 

Congrats to Baylor and Briles.

 

Big Mack attack!

Seriously though, I'm not surprised by Mack's public harshness. While Gilbert clearly isn't up to the task and UT's talent-level is below normal, the lethargy the team displayed for 3 quarters was a disgrace. Losing at home to such a pathetic opponent is a low water-mark. If hitting bottom doesn't hurt enough to make a coach lash out, he needs to go.

Win, lose or draw, I expect UT to play hungry the rest of the season. On Saturday, Baylor should expect them to come out breathing fire.

 

Yeah they will.

 

Not gonna happen.

We're at home....and Saban and Kirby Smart know how to deal with QBs like Newton.

 

Out freakin' standing.

 

Yeah.

Your right.
