Princeton Fant with a catch for the Cowboys but called back due to a flag

Heupel using a TE as a FB for the touchdown vs UGA reminded me of how he used Fant near the goal line. Still love the TD Fant scored on bama from about the 3 yard line. I thought for sure they had him stopped.

I can't believe that Netflix would associate themselves with this guy, knowing all that stuff. Money is king, I suppose.

It’s like pro wrestling.
Always been fake. 95% of the fans knew it and watch for entertainment purposes.
The others, to dumb to worry about.

If you didn’t know the fight was a setup then, you’re in the 5%

I don't think that's real intelligence. just a lot of delusion, testosterone, cocaine, and steroids.

But absolutely see it as a setup. Someone made off with the loot. He was the pawn.

I think it's more than 5% for this one. I was stunned at how many people were boasting they were taking Tyson at + odds. I got got in his 2nd fight against Tyron Woodley. I quickly realized I was betting against him just because I wanted to see him lose and I was pretty convinced then that it was rigged also. Some skinny kid on Disney channel etc. doesn't just hop into boxing and start beating (somewhat) legitimate fighters.

Happy Choose Day. Fitting one for all the playoff talk.

November 19, 2024: My beloved child, do not waste your time worrying about the future, and what might be or what you might have to do. You belong to the Lord, and He will direct your steps. Establish your faith in that truth. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Take every day as it comes and do what needs to be done right here and right now. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

UT - 63
Missouri - 37

Josh Dobbs threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores -- including a career-long 70-yarder -- as Tennessee won a 63-37 shootout with Missouri on Saturday.

"I definitely had a blast," Dobbs said. "It's not really an end. We obviously still have a couple of games left, but it's an enjoyable opportunity and I definitely enjoyed it tonight.

Dobbs was 15 of 22 for 223 yards Saturday with two touchdown passes to Jauan Jennings and one to Josh Malone. He rushed for a career-high 190 yards on just 10 carries. He even helped lead Tennessee's Pride of the Southland band after the game.

It was an impressive farewell to Neyland Stadium for a guy who has served as the face of Tennessee's program while balancing his quarterback responsibilities with his academic demands as an aerospace engineering major.

"I'm not very political, but he could be the president of the United States if he wanted to," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said.

So I looked at it and I think Texas, Ohio State, Penn State, and Oregon are all the same team. All of them have very good defenses, lack elite QB's, have decent offenses. I don't know why anyone thinks Ohio State will blow out Indiana. That only happens if Indiana turns it over a bunch or OHST gets scores from special teams. The BIG is a bad conference propped up by the fact their top 4 play one tough game all year. I guess OHST will get credit for playing 2 when they face the "mighty" Indiana this week. It's crazy to think Indiana only plays 1 game against the top 6 in their conference. Heck, they even avoided Wisconsin and USC. They literally played all of the worst teams in the BIG except the game they play this Saturday. To me, that is an elimination game. If Ohio State loses, they would have 1 win against a ranked opponent and 1 win against a major conference opponent with a winning record (Penn State). I actually hope Indiana kills them. We know that will not happen. Because Indiana has 1 win against a team with a winning record (from a major conference). That team is 6-5 Washington.

Of course, I do not believe any of this matters. We just need to take care of business. I just hope this doesn't play out like 2016 Tennessee. I remember all we needed to do was beat SC and Vandy to get to the SEC Championship. Didn't happen. This year we need to beat Vandy I feel to make the playoffs. If we get in, I hope we are on the side of the bracket with all of the BIG teams. If that happens, we will have a shot at the ship.

I’d absolutely put Gabriel in the elite category. CFB is a little short on top-end QB talent this year, so Allar/Howard would be up there for me as well. Ewers is overrated imo.

To osu’s credit, they played oregon and psu. They will have played 4/5 top teams (excluding themselves: oreg, psu, indy, ill) in the big 10 this year. Oregon & psu have only played osu and Illinois.

Me personally, if osu loses, i think they will still get in the playoff on brand recognition alone. So im hoping for osu to beat indy by 10+ so they can be eliminated.

I was gonna say something similar, but the more I look and actually think about it, I wouldn’t put any QB in the “elite” category

Maybe “semi-elite” lol

I like Josh Hoover from TCU as well. 3200 passing yards, 67% as a RS. Soph.
