College football Week 4 winners and losers: Saturday showed just how unpredictable 2020 season could be
Yahoo ^ | September 26, 2020 | Nick Bromberg and Sam Cooper

The 2007 season is the most revered college football season of the past two decades. The season featured nine teams getting ranked in the top five of the BCS rankings in November. That’s not even counting a Boston College team that was No. 2 on Oct. 28 after an 8-0 start.

The season was wild, wacky and featured everything we love about this crazy sport. And 2020 could wind up being a worthy sequel. Or even “The Godfather 2” to 2007’s “The Godfather.”

Saturday started with No. 3 Oklahoma losing at home to Kansas State after giving up an inexplicable 24 straight points to the Wildcats inside of the final 20 minutes. The game was followed by No. 6 LSU losing 44-34 at home to Mississippi State in Mike Leach’s debut as No. 8 Texas had to score 15 points in the final three minutes of regulation simply to force overtime and eventually beat Texas Tech.

Air Raid carpet bombed Baton Rouge. Mike Leach rolls into Death Valley and his QB in his first game for Leach breaks the SEC single passing record throwing for 623 yards. The last time a pirate had such an impact in Louisiana was in 1815. I am still shaking my head on how Texas Tech choked away a 2 touchdown lead in the final 3 minutes. If there was no COVID19 the Doak will still be empty anyway as the Seminoles are an absolute trash team.

I tuned in my first college game, UC vs Army, yesterday. I immediately saw the UofL blm BS about the Taylor broad that got shot. I don’t need college circuses anymore either.

That's standard Texas Tech football. The defense is usually already on the bus in the 4th quarter.

All the teams are damaged by the lack of trading forced by the COVID restrictions and fear. The entire season is a write-off

#20 Virginia Tech Beat NC State 45-24 after VT losing their starting QB and Defensive Coordinator to contact tracing. 20 players out for the Hokies including 3 starters.

The field is level, the effects of the lock-down on the teams, is not

Tough loss for Tech but they LOST it.
Dancing on the sidelines with 4 minutes to go, throwing the ball when all they had to do was run up the middle and not fumble to run the clock way down, squid kick instead of kicking it deep gave Texas 20 yards less to travel, missed onside kick hits a receiver right in the hands before he fumbled it over to the Longhorns.
All of that in the last 4 minutes. Heartbreak on the High Plains of West Texas.

Has there been any BLM crap?

For the first time ever, we haven’t been watching college football. Any of it.

Yep, it’s kind of like when the NFL had replacement players, that’s what this season is. It’s not legitimate.

Yep. The “Unity” patch is just a band aid on the problem.

The blm cancer has spread to the college level teams and the coaches aren’t addressing it. The players minds are not on the game, but on other things. I think this whole college season is going to be a real bummer.
