College football 2024

This is just being disrespectful.  Two receivers for No. 7 Alabama pretended to do jump shots during Jalen Milroe’s quarterback sneak.  This comes as the Crimson Tide were upset by No. 7 Tennessee, 24-17.

Is it too soon to call this the game of the century?  No. 5 Georgia is in a Top 5 showdown with No. 1 Texas as the teams face off in the regular season for the first time since 1958.  Updates to come.

UPDATE:  Somebody needs to teach etiquette to the crowd.  Texas spectators threw bottles on the field after a controversial pass interference against Georgia, but the refs overturned the call after further discussion.

UPDATE 2:  Horns down!  Georgia’s defense held Texas to 259 yards and racked up seven sacks in a 30-15 upset during their Top 5 showdown.

Think this team has chemistry issues?  Punches were thrown between South Florida players before their teammates stepped in to separate them in a 35-25 win over UAB.

Props for using props.  No. 19 Ole Miss celebrated Jordan Watkins’ fifth touchdown of the game against Arkansas with a fire extinguisher.  Updates to come.

Ole Miss beat Arkansas, 63-31.

This cannot happen from a coach.  Louisiana-Monroe offensive line coach Cameron Blankenship had to be held back while berating one of his players during a sideline meltdown in a 28-23 loss to Marshall.

This is one of my favorite segments from the show.  A Georgia student made the lucrative decision to somehow else a kick on “College GameDay” and drilled it for $800,000.  Updates to come.

No. 12 Georgia upset No. 7 Tennessee, 31-17.

I normally wouldn’t post about FCS football, but sometimes you have to share about the awesome things they give us.  A Fordham interception had it all with a lateral, a pulled hamstring and a touchdown all in one.
