Interesting that Vegas has Georgia as three point favorites.
Hope that line is right.

If we’re all forced to watch another all SEC matchup, we might as all be united in rooting for the Dawgs.

Lane Kiffin is the guy at the tailgate that's never invited but is there every weekend anyway.

and rarely brings anything.

Why does Baylor's offense suck so hard tonight?

Personally, I believe the coaches are the ones that should shoulder the blame when things go wrong. Too often the ones responsible leave the school holding the bag. Briles getting blacklisted feels like the best option for a penalty.

It would have been nice to have the Baylor fanbase also face something with the way they responded to Briles's firing, but I don't know how you do that without punishing those athletes not involved. The athletes involved should face legal consequences, not NCAA consequences.

Sorry, but Baylor is a special kind of parasite.

Do you remember how they got into the Big 12 in the first place? They were never supposed to be part of it - if I remember correctly it was supposed to Houston instead. However, the Texas governor at the time, who was a Baylor graduate, decided she was going to the entire thing into limbo unless her alma mater was included in the conference. Yes - the only reason why Baylor is even in the league right now is because one woman decided to hold 11 athletic programs hostage until she got her way.

Next, do you realize just how close Baylor was to the death penalty in the early 2000s? And it wasn't just from the covering up of the murder. Those kinds of infractions don't just happen because one coach thought he was above the rules - those kinds of infractions are what's known as "lack of institutional control". At best they were turning a blind eye to what was happening; at worst they were complicit in it. Likely the only reason why they didn't get an actual death penalty is because of how it devastated SMU,

And then a short decade later they go and have the rape scandals, as if they didn't learn their lesson from before.

Sorry - but you will never convince me that I should just "move on" from all the **** in Baylor's past.

I wanted Utah to win tonight, but one positive of tOSU winning is that Paul Rhoads has now won a Rose Bowl. He's currently a defensive analyst with tOSU

My gosh Baylor's offense is struggling. by the way are good punters and kickers in college becoming uncool?

 

[isufbcurt]

Nice to see BU getting called for some PI. They are constantly mugging receivers without getting called.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

FINALLY THE DEEP BALL CONNECTS!!!!

 

[isufbcurt]

Finally got some WR separation (even though the BU DB was holding his shoulder pad).

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ISU_Guy]

Baylor may want to figure out how to pass...

 

[cygrads]

I'm impressed with the Ole Miss defense.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

YES!!!!!

 

[isufbcurt]

take a knee and the touch back lol

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Baylor may want to figure out how to pass...

Yeah about that....

 

[jdoggivjc]

Noice.

 

[ISU_Guy]

That interception was very Iowaish. Poorly thrown ball and the ball just ended up in his hands...lol.
still got to make the play, but man Baylor is laying an egg offensively.
If that was against Iowa state, he would have thrown it to the back pylon and he would have one hand caught it with a toe tap.

 

[cygrads]

On the Big 12 promo commercial do they show Texas or OU - I don't think so.
