OPEN THREAD, TRACY FLICK MODE
Just repeat it with us because you mean it:
Dear Lord Jesus, I do not often speak with you and ask for things, but now, I really must insist that you help me win the GAME OF CHOICE today because I deserve it and THOSE EVIL TROGLODYTES don’t, as you well know. I realize that it was your divine hand that SMOTE THAT TEAM I HATE and now I’m asking that you go that one last mile and make sure to put me in THE SWEET GRASP OF VICTORY where I belong so that I may carry out your will on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
Unleash your inner Tracy Flick today and have a blast. We would say more, but we won’t continue without our attorney present. Would you like a cupcake?

When the Kansas fans wave their arms during the fight song, does that signify corn swaying?
Seriously they all wave their arms back and forth.

@9
it’s called “waving the wheat”…lots of wheat in kansas, it waves in the wind. corn = nebraska.
you gotta use what you got in the central regions of the country…

Zone Left, that is “Waving the Wheat.” It’s an old, old thing at Kansas, but it being a Kansas football tradition, you’ve never heard of it.

The Week 4 #8(9) ranked team is not going to qualify for a bowl game this year…
Sadly, B.A. Baracus will have to give the HC another full year of suckitude before considering canning his boy-band ass, since he’s the one who groomed him.
Have we all finally learned that hiring from within should be your LAST F’ING OPTION ON EARTH?
(Travis Beckum just went from being a 1st/2nd round draft pick to undrafted)

I’ve somehow missed 4 of Texas Tech’s touchdowns yet I have had the game on the entire time. Probably because I’ve been:
1) Doing some laundry
2) Making lunch
3) Blinking
BTW, what is Kansas (Memorial?) stadium’s capacity? Like 30,000? It looks tiny.

Usually when a team lets up 35 by halftime and is down 21 points, the coach runs to the locker room to stay away from the sideline reporter.

Chesney likes it when Tebow scores….when Tebow scores, American wins.
RBTTIBS-Rich Brooks thinks that is bullshit.
And he thinks Tebow trying to use Kentucky to get back in the Heisman race to pad his numbers is bullshit.
Why did Ole Miss have to go and piss Tebow off?
You see what happens dont you? You see?
This is wrath of Biblical proportions, plagues of points, parting of the line, lightning bolt fast receivers, punt smoting, burning defensive backs….turning Wine into gaterade….

Crap. An hour after I write that about Travis Beckum – looks like he could be done for; got rolled up on by his RB. Appears really bad, appears ankle or lower leg.

BadgerMan says:
S2N – Poly had a shot before this. Anyone that has not watched Wisconsin (Fresno was their best game), has no clue how bad they are playing and the complete lack of leadership and discipline. Plenty of talent outside of QB, but no execution or appropriate playcalling.
Beckum is done. Replay showed his ankle got rolled hard. Shot of him with his shoe off = basketball-sized swelling above his ankle already.

@31 – KU’s Memorial Stadium is actually decently sized (it seats just over 51,000) … but it’s low and spread out, so on TV it looks smaller than it really it is.
