All I'm asking is for Texas to win by triple digits.

That's my grown up Christmas wish.

UT 🤝 UT

Having a better orange than clempson

🤘

With our offense lately, I'm not sure we can grant that wish. We may, however, be able to shut out Clemson with how our defense has been lately

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y

Just embarrass them.

^18^Clemson @ ^2^Texas

May the best orange team win (there is only one correct answer as to which orange is best)

These Coke commercials look AI generated.

They look terrible!

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

I genuinely can't tell whether or not it's an intentional look. They're disgusting

HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 1y

there was a different soda commercial making fun of AI Coke commercials!

GOAL LINE STAND

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Texas refusing to let this be totally boring...

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

what was that from Ewers?

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 3 pts · 1y

The play where he fell down for a loss of 4 instead of throwing it away? Not sure. I think his ankle probably hurts more than he lets on, but I don't want to make excuses for his decision making trending down over the season

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y

OMG what a freakin run.

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y

"Ref!! Texas isn't allowed to tackle our players!!!"

Dabo, probably

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 3 pts · 1y

Ugh, what a disastrous turn of events. The INT sucks, but if we lost Majors that's even worse. Can't lose 2 O-linemen in one game...

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Strong answer from the Horns!

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

And followed up with another rushing TD! Bluuuuuuee

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y

21-7!!!

Keep it going Texas!

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

That goal line stand will be in a best plays comp sooner and later

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 1y

Bad guys score first. :( No defensive shutout for us

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Remember though that the whistle is actually totally arbitrary and has no bearing on the status of play

Signed, a Vol that remembers

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Only started watching at half time. Did Texas dominate the 1st half because the score was 28-10?

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 3 pts · 1y

Yes. We even gave them the ball once and turned over on downs but our defense was stifling. This half... well, you can see who has the momentum

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Very much so, it honestly should've been worsee

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y

Texas!!!

What is you doin baby?!?!

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 1y

We should have taken the FG there. With how they stopped the last 2 rush plays, I knew we weren't going to pick up the 4th down with more of the same

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 1y

That'll do it! Hook 'em!!!

^5^SMU @ ^4^Penn State

White outs at Happy Valley are always rad. Too bad it can't be a night game (like, how much colder is it at night than during the day anyway?)

CMLVI@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Good lord what is this QB doing

CMLVI@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

SMU looking like they're desperate, not playing their game

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 1y

Pick six for the Nittany Lions. This feels like it's shaping up to be like last night's game. I just want the underdogs to be competitive, man...

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

SMU very much looking like they're just happy to be here. PSU looking like they're here to party.

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 1 pts · 1y

LOL, Penn State going for it on 4th and long. Although, it gives SMU a long field anyway so it's not an atrocious call

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y

1:03 left on the clock. Enough time for Penn State to get a pick 6.

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y

Ok... So maybe SMU never was the team to beat Clemson 😕

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 1 pts · 1y

Okay, had to look up "intransigence" after Jones used it in his call of SMU getting the 4th down stop

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 1y (21 replies)

Tennessee @ Ohio State

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Good god. I thought I had settled down to watch the game but family intervenes. How is it 21-0 early 2nd Q???

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Exactly what I worried would happen did. We don't tend to look good on the road in big games and Chip/the buckeye Oline got their act together and they've simply got a better roster. Tbh we've kinda got our act together, but it was literally the worst possible start.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Damn I thought Tennessee had a tough front 7. So Ohio State's O-line is controlling the game? Didn't think that would happen. From looking at the stats, Buckeyes' D-line is also dominating. Damn.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

It's not that we aren't getting pressure, rather their OL is keeping is keeping us off Howard for long enough for osus wr freaks to do their thing

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Look I'll take it but that roughing was soft.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Cracked helmet, that's fucking badass

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Ok I admit, that's a lot of orange

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 1 pts · 1y

When Herbie mentioned at the top of the broadcast that this is the most he's ever seen of a visitor team's colors in the shoe, that kind of blew my mind. Props to vol nation

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

lmao, are we jawing with the kicker rn?

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I watched maybe 2 or 3 Tenn games all season. I don't ever remember seeing their QB run. But here he's running very 4th play it seems.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

OL ain't shit rn so now he's gotta

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Ugh, the football gods apparently love taunting us with almost fumbles still

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

Nico's draft stock is rising despite his team losing badly.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Ok Nico, get it girl

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

Great throw by that Ohio State QB.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Shoulda been pi...

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y

Oh boy. I think it's over.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y

Man, I didn't foresee this. I thought this would be a tight game.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I didn't think he had it by a lot in live speed, but this is actually tight

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 1y

Finally something going for y'all. I was about to put a fork in this game because I can't stand to watch an Ohio State

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Yup, penalties already extending our opponents drive, ya love to see it

Penn state vs smu and Texas vs Clemson also on hbo max

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Well that was a decision by Clemson to run on 4th and 1 with a tight formation. Why not spread them out?

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Dabo is used to a LOS stranglehold against ACC opponents is my guess

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 1y

Yeah. The middle schools they play against are usually easier for them to manhandle.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

Ok that 25 yard run on 3rd and 7 just done the game.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I can't get over what an easy path Penn State has to semis. Come on, seriously?

ryathal@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

They have a coach to overcome though, so it balances out.

Anyone doing South Dakota State @ North Dakota State? Competitive FCS matchup so far
