REMEMBERING SOME CFB GAMES: 2024 EDITION

#CFBSky, I have here a list of some ranked vs. ranked games from the 2024 CFB season.

If you see a game you remember and/or attended as a fan, media, marching band, former player, etc., quote skeet that game with your memories of it.

Let's go. 🧵

Jets just need JF to break a couple runs here to get into FG range.

Holy War is going to be spicy next week.

BYU survives.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 12h

Don't think that's going to be a TD for BYU. Hell of an effort though.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 12h

If you're still awake, get to the end of this one.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 12h

BYU/Arizona. ESPN2. Good one happening in Tucson.

Stockton could have slid in bounds like the Northwestern RB did. Either way, that was a killshot by UGA.

Gophers with a goalline stop.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 13h

Texas Tech is legit fun to watch.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 13h

Fun season for the most part. That ending sucked.

Mariners or Jays for the rest of the postseason? Obviously hope the Dodgers beat the Brewers, but would rather either Seattle or Toronto win it of the teams that are left.

Well, it's do or die now for the Cubs.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 14h

Hell of a catch by PCA.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 14h

Hell of a showing by Iowa tonight.

Wisconsin, I don't know how the hell you don't make the move tomorrow, buyout be damned.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 14h

Franklin will at least get to coach the rest of the season for PSU. Fickell might get fired tomorrow.

Is Kirk going to tell Fickell he “hoped we didn’t hurt any of your boys” when they shake hands?

The total was 37.5. It's 37-0.

That was a massive double play.

The Wisconsin students were just singing along to "Build Me Up Buttercup," a 1968 song by the Foundations. Wisconsin went 0-10 in 1968.

Base hit here making it 4-1 would be killer.

Brendan Stiles @thebstiles.bsky.social · 15h

I say this as an outsider: He can't be your coach after tonight. Make the move tomorrow. Especially if the Brewers do win tonight and they can bury it in the middle of their run.

Damn it.
