Oh definitely. The UGa-Bama game last year was hugely fun and competitive as well and Tennessee also looked fun…but Tennessee got torched by OSU and Georgia did worse against ND than IU did despite being on a neutral field. 

And Michigan beat the Alabama team SEC fans wanted in over teams like IU. Once other schools started paying players the SEC magic seems to have vanished. (Oddly enough that doesn’t apply in basketball).

Are those "fire franklin" chants?

They’re crazy. He has them as good as they’ve been since the 90’s.

IU at Iowa homecoming

Oregon at PSU white out

Bama at Georgia

Kind of interesting. Three tough road environments but the visiting team won all three and in 2/3 of the games the lower ranked team won.

I kinda hear them though, even if that chant is idiotic. Franklin turtles in these big games every single year. 1-15 vs top-5 teams, 4-21 vs top-10, 15-30 vs top-25. He’s gotta break through at some point. 

I’m not sure if they could do any better, but it has to be frustrating crapping down your leg in almost every big game.

Some guy posted this morning that Drew Allar is the James Franklin of college QB’s. Man, once you hear that hear that one you can’t unhear it.

Texas moves up despite not playing anybody.  Which isn’t all that dissimilar to the previous weeks

Sam Pittman fired at Arkansas. That one’s probably been just a matter of timing for a while. What happened yesterday certainly expedited it.

They would have be crazy to hire him to be full time again, so they will probably do it.  A word of advice, Bobby.  Don't take the motorcycle for the weekend with the "other woman.  You need to take the convertible instead.  I know the bike is pretty nice in those situations, but you might not get caught like you did if you take a car.

On the note of not liking Pawwwwl, some of you may have noticed this on McShay’s show.  He doesn’t like Paul and it appears once something from his ESPN separation agreement expires he’s gonna let loose.  Transcript:

“But anyway, it's it's really good to see this. I'm not pulling for either side, but it's really good to see this for DeBoer because it feels like if Alabama had lost this game after losing to Florida State and Florida State just lost to Virginia and and all like that place is vicious. Watch that trash, Paul Finebaum.

Just see how vicious and like just uninvited, like just it's not it's it's just not good. It's just not good humanity.

Right.

Um, get my little shot in it, Paul. One of the all time cowards. Is it October 1st yet?

Let's see.

27th.

Next week.

Next week, I can let it all unleash. We'll explain it all while later. Good to have everyone here, by the way.”

Could be entertaining…

He’s gonna write so many bills banning IU from the CFP. Maybe he can take Heather Dinich with him as his chief of staff to do us all a favor.

His current gig of sowing division while accomplishing nothing should translate well.

A Finebaum vs Pearl debate may end Alabama....do it!

Finebaum desperately wanted to believe that Indiana being good at football was just a mirage. After seeing what we did to Illinois, he wants out of the sport. That's what I'm going with, anyway.

Finebaum met his term "SEC" limit years ago.
