    ESPN, get your act together! If they lined up like that for the 2pt conversion, show it live!! Although I don’t think that was planned. Norvell clearly was calling for the PAT just before

    Is this the game in Dublin? I was forced to watch part of a Pat McAfee live broadcast from Ireland yesterday while waiting for my lunch to be cooked.

    I don’t have any thoughts specific to FSU vs GT, but one of my favorite things about college football is that its arrival means the summer heat will break before too much longer.

      Yup, they’re playing in Dublin.

      I’m a Miami Hurricanes fan, personally. But this game has some possible conference implications for the Canes.

      I just enjoy football season, generally, even if I don’t have too much time to watch games anymore.

    stfu espn about most transformative season. The gall to even imply that getting a few extra ad vessels in the form of an expanded playoff is even in the same atmosphere as some actual major evolutions of the sport like integration or the forward pass. Get off my fucking nuts bro

      I remember he was really underwhelming at Clemson. I didn’t watch the Beavs last year. To judge by realignment, I guess relatively few people did. Did he really impress so much that he should have been a target of a team with playoff aspirations?

        I think he did decently well out west, and his woes at clemson were attributed to youth and an incompatible system. But idk, he just doesn’t seem to read the field quickly imo.

          Certainly seems like Tech’s strategy is to stay strong vs the run and dare DJ to beat them.
