Pretty sure SEC teams get big SEC spreads every year and rarely cover them. I'm betting against all of them next season.

Still not used to ESPN's new on screen game summary thing. Keep looking in the two left corners.

Looking really good so far.

All my hard work is finally starting to pay off.

How is that Baylor play to the fat guy legal? Only 5 guys on the line?

If Michigan State pulls this out, been a frisky day for the Big 10.

That was a lot of fun. Baylor got a couple of tough breaks. Illegal block on the interception and face mask on the receiver running down to the 1. Not saying they were bad calls, just unfortunate things.

Great comeback, MSU's fortunes changed when the defensive coordinator came down from the press box.

------

Since I missed the over on this game, I'll take over 73.5 for Oregon-FSU. Oregon might get that themselves!

Gunpowder: Are you thinking about taking OSU +9 tonight to follow your SEC theory?

Possibly because of the SEC shitting itself that's been bet down to 7.5/8 here in Vegas.

I keep wanting to root for FSU. Winston needs some sort of scarlet R or something.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:06 pm

Just did it again on that dropped INT.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:16 pm

Should have known. Playoffs are defensive struggles.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:30 pm

I wonder if the two winners tonight will touch the trophy?

EdRomero · Post by **EdRomero** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:34 pm

The refs seem overwhelmed by this game.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:46 pm

They're SEC refs. They haven't seen this kind of speed.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 6:48 pm

A 31 point first half is a miracle after all those missed chances.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 7:07 pm

Hey, the Watchespn app is finally working again! Just in time to watch the band play at halftime. So, how was the first half, those of you who aren't visiting in laws who don't believe in cable TV?

It's been really sloppy. Oregon have been awful but are up by 5. FSU have missed chances. First two times in the red zone were a FG and Winston being ruled down 1 foot from the goal line on 4th down. Couple less cheeseburgers and he would have been in.

And the refs have been clueless, calling phantom penalties and missing obvious ones.

Halftime lined up perfectly w/Jeopardy!

Jameis is holding up the number of FSU turnovers...

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 8:10 pm

I might be getting high off my enjoyment of what is happening to FSU.

I'm curious to see how many points Oregon would score if they were just average.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 8:17 pm

This is giggle worthy.

Yup, I am giggling.

I think jim o is considering turning Jamie's in for something.

18 points was alright, probably average. They just looked out of sorts in the 1st half. FSU dropped a couple picks, Oregon had at least 6 plays for negative yards. Awful but lucky to be up 5.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 8:27 pm

Not a good halftime adjustment for FSU to play the second half with butter on their hands.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 8:34 pm

They're really pushing back the Sugar Bowl for this? The 8:30 Kickoff was going to be dicey enough in terms of my ability to stay conscious for the whole game.

It was never scheduled to kick at 8:30. Kickoff was originally scheduled for 8:50 ET. 10-minute "slide"

rass you were supposed to nap after FSU's 10th fumble.

let's continue.. no defense in college football. I'll take the over (57.5).

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 11:21 pm

Nice comeback by tOSU.

How does their QB have all those stickers on his helmet when he was riding the bench until the last game?

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 11:31 pm

Wow SEC.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Jan 02, 2015 12:03 am

I think OSU should have conceded a safety. 6 or 4 point lead isnt that different.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Jan 02, 2015 12:03 am

Bad time for a 20 yard punt.

Eta: good time for an int.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Fri Jan 02, 2015 12:58 am

What a fantastic game.

I may sound crazy, but the player who impressed me the most in the game was the Alabama punter. I don't think I've ever seen any punter have a game like that.
