Week 7 Reactions to ready you for Week 8
🔸Don't overreact to Oregon's or Oklahoma's losses. Neither is a big deal.
🔸Do overreact to Michigan's. That pass defense looks worse and worse. Enter Washington. Later, Ohio State.
🔸And Wisconsin, it can always get worse.

Trent Dilfer also got fired?
Kinda disappointed I had no texts or push notifications for that one!

Won't be any Sunday work from me. Need to log off for 8-12 hours.

Until then, my taek: If Penn State is a serious football program, it hires Curt Cignetti.

Of the millions of words I have written in this life, none have been truer than this thousand.
🔸From every dive bar thought
🔸To Kent State's STRENGTHS this weekend
🔸To Bobby Petrino's momentary success

I should walk away from the keyboard.
This was my peak. Aristotle, dive bars and college football

On Rolling Rock, toilets without doors, UMass vs. Kent State and Bobby Petrino's first drive.
On Aristotle, every win an opportunity to start another losing streak, and points per quality drive.

Speaking of "It can always get worse" ...
0-7 Oregon State hosts FCS-level Lafayette on the CW at 10 ET next weekend.
Do with that knowledge what you will.

Yeah, I talk about gambling often.
It is my job.
I always prefer to talk about the sport via gambling -- use it to set expectations, create qualitative thoughts, etc. -- rather than gambling via the sport.

Because the whole thing is supposed to be who you watch with. That's the whole thing.
douglasfarmer.bsky.social
This. This is the whole thing.
My Timberwolves tickets? If we ever crack the West, I will tear up thinking about just how many damn people I have sat in those seats with. I think Target Center is lame, but I want the win there, in those seats, next to those friends.
This is the whole thing of sports

If ESPN existed in the time of streetcars, there absolutely would have been Professional Trolley Dodging on the Ocho.

Are you implying dodgeball is not a profession?

Freeze and Cohen are angling for Auburn fans to remember how badly the SEC refs treated them and not the scoring of zero points in the entire second half.

Not that they're wrong about their officiating breaks, but the game is the game

Gunner Stockton could have fallen down at the 2-yard line and won the game.
He went FULL SUPERMAN to win the cover. -3.5

For the first time in eight years, I intend to actively fail tonight's Hawaii Test.
Which will be its own test for me.
Wish me luck.

Reminder: you have a Hawai’i test tonight.

One was canceled last year. Lone Star.

texted a friend about this score literally seven seconds ago
How did that happen?

Folks, UTSA has 61 with four minutes left in the third.

Striking milestone in the Trent Dilfer era at UAB:

I am gonna be polite and not look up who is calling Georgia-Auburn, because they are missing a lotta marks right now.

We are all guffawing at James Franklin, but I really don't know how Wisconsin sticks with Luke Fickell through the season.

Pat Fitzgerald is probably so mad right now

What's the Penn State pun gonna be this week, @splitzoneduo.com?
I nominate Angry Valley.

Turned off Wake-Oregon State.
Turned on Northwestern-Penn State. We are nearing the losing streak that will launch a thousand takes.

✅Kent State
✅Will Pauling

Get it together, Oregon.

Just ordered $100 of popcorn from my nephew (boy scouts).
Gonna need Kent State, Oregon and Will Pauling to put in some work for me this afternoon.

Honest to God, if that’s our legacy, I’d be incredibly happy.

There’s good football with watching and talking about everywhere, at all levels. It’s not just 40 teams, it’s 400, all with great players, stories, and passionate fanbases.

But, that means "all football is good football" is a mainstream idea

This column was the single-most accurate thing I have ever written.
Arkansas scores a TD on its first drive.
And Kent State absolutely wallops UMass, up 42-6 and might add on as the Golden Flashes snap a 26-game FBS losing streak.

I should write about dive bars and Aristotle more often.
