Just wanted to post this article in case anyone missed the opossum rushing the field on Thursday night in Lubbock

This is the heavy hitting journalism that I keep coming back for

Me, pulling up the Florida game on my phone after running errands and settling in for McDonald’s because my kid inherited my childhood love of McNuggets and also likes to test the efficacy of her vaccinations by playing in the playplace…

Who is the black-uniformed team? Us? God, that’s dumb.

Me, seeing the “character traits” instead of names…

Jesus it just got dumber.

Tied at the half, at home versus a 2-6 team on life support? Seems about right. I have literally no predictions for the rest of the game.

That missed field goal feels fair. If Honor and Integrity and Excellence and Commitment had just fuckin' stayed on the field for the spike, then there would have been no issues. The simple personnel issues this year have been incredibly stupid and persistent.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Fuck. Arky wins. Have a lovely day, folks. Talk to you next week.

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago

Lol, I need to look up highlights of this game. Which genius came up with that idea for the unis?

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Oh my god, I've got to see this for the love of everything gator schadenfreude!

You will enjoy it, you pumpkiny bastard. Thank Christ we beat you so we still have a prayer at bowl eligibility, the practices for which, IMHO, should be used entirely on how to properly substitute. This season has been so bizarre I still have hope we fall ass-backwards into a win in one of these last three.

[-] merikus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

This is so hilarious I’m sorry I’m missing it.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Commitment is the real hero.

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Oh no! Excellence has been quite decent for the black team today!

[-] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Integrity just had a really good sack!

[-] merikus@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I think the criticism of McAfee on Gameday has been good for him. I didn’t like the zany energy he brought at first because it was way too over the top. The fact that the fans didn’t embrace it forced him to tone it down, and I think that’s made him more of a team player on the panel.

I frankly wouldn’t mind if he came back next year anymore. His rapport with Herbie is particularly good, and he does a good job of bringing the crowd into it. So long as he keeps in mind he isn’t the one and only star of the show he’s a good addition.

I prefer the over the top entertainment style, but I'm not like other people. I just love the hype. McAfee is why I watch and the only reason I watch.

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago

Oh, Big Nude Kickoff is in Austin! Hope they've moved on from pretty much only talking about Colorado

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago

LOL, Matthew McConaughey singing along to Texas Fight cut himself off just before swearing on national TV (the "make 'em eat shit" lyric)

[-] merikus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Why are we still talking about them? Gameday just did a segment on their game. Like, who cares? I think in a few years they may be good but it’s just not interesting anymore.

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago

Agreed, but I guess it is newsworthy they demoted OC Sean Lewis yesterday. I hadn't heard that. Bad move, IMO. He's a good coach and the playcalling was not bad on that side of the ball. They're being let down by a terrible O-Line which he can't do anything about during the season. And it's defense where they are really struggling...

Today we honor Pat Summitt on homecoming as we (hopefully) beat her rival UConn. Come check out our blue uniform accents
