I’ve got good friends from UGA and from ND, so I’m happy either way. That said, my UGA buddy has a smoker and has promised wings and brisket if our schools play each other, so I’m selfishly pulling for the Dawgs!!

Arizona State HFC Kenny Dillingham? First he looked up to the female sideline reporter
Second he sounded very much like Nate Bargatze

Usually I don’t outwardly pull for a B1G team in bowls(playoffs). Exception was yesterday wanting to see a low Tide.
Today, fully behind a B1G team.
Go DUCKS!!! Beat the Ohowihate suckeye from columbASS.

Looks like a blowout so far. And two bad plays by PSU transfer Malik McClane. Probably why he couldn’t break into Penn State’s starting line-up.

It’s a miracle that asu is even in the playoff. They had sanctions in 2020 and 2021 and then back-to-back 5-7 seasons in 2022 and 2023. Their head coach is just 34 years old, and their starting QB is a redshirt freshman. After starting this season 5-2, ANALYTICS. o_O said they had just a 0.5% chance of making the playoff.

Texas seems to be run-adverse. They’d be physically dominating ASU if they’d run more often.

Texas run game doesn’t look that good.

Also I have not been enthralled by Ewers.

A fake punt from the 20. ASU needed that spark. Texas gets the ball first in the second half.

ASU hanging around. If they can get within a score they could have a chance. Texas D could be gassed late in 4th given how much time of possession ASU has had.

the extra possessions that ASU got after running into kicker and the fake punt really changed possession time. Then the safety. Texas will have to produce on offense to win this game.

I enjoy watching these other games on the Skycast. Nothing but the sounds of the game and stadium. Plus, I like seeing how the defense approaches the gaps, the defensive lines run stunts and twists, how things get blocked, and what the quarterbacks and running backs see.

Clarification for the board: Skycast on ESPN2.

Stupid question, are there actual drones, flying machines, out there or are they supported by guy wires?
