Emotions are rising as we build momentum towards the end of the season. We got Jason Kelce smashing phones, cops – ummmm – controlling crowds, and petty recruiting tweets. Things really boiled over in Columbia where the electric environment led to fans getting stuck in the hedges like Winnie the Pooh in pursuit of a jar of honey. Who would’ve thought this vicious trash talk would end with this aftermath? Hopes are high if we can get that from Ags vs. Cocks then the sky’s the limit for Mormons vs. Mormons this week! Night games in Utah definitely hit different, but what happens if the game creeps into Sunday morning?
Week 11 Pro Tips:
- MACtion made its triumphant return last week, and didn’t disappoint! It’s only a matter of time until popular department stores capitalize on football fans being glued to the TV on weeknights by finding ways to give significant others a reason to get out of the house and spend more time at their store. Something like this.
- Now that we’ve officially reached CFP season, be prepared to get inundated with blind resumes. Joel Klatt already got us started, but there’s sure to be plenty more. In a world driven by algorithms and artificial intelligence, college football has reverted back to a collection of old people. However, as the old saying goes, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”
- RIP Ben Herbstreit, the official dog of college football. Say what you want about it just being a dog or if Kirk has “screwed your team” before, but there’s not anyone more genuine about the sport we love. If you’ve ever lost a pet you know it’s a pretty crappy feeling. To make matters worse for Herbie, while most of us go back to work to distract ourselves, he goes to a place where he had his dog by his side the most along with millions of eyeballs locked on him. Tough spot, no doubt.
TOS GAME OF THE WEEK
#20 Colorado (-4.53) at Texas Tech 3:00 CST FOX
What we like about this game: Colorado is back in the race for a Big 12 Championship and a shot at the college football playoff. So how are they preparing for their trip to Lubbock this week? By educating their players on one of the most infamous facts known by any college football fan with a pulse. As if spending time in a team meeting isn’t enough, Coach Prime then doubles down in his press conference. The anticipation for a deluge of tortillas has never been higher (especially after the DKR debacle, although it didn’t work for Clemson, and, more importantly, reading what’s going down in the next blurb below), but the question is how many will have batteries hidden in them?
What we love don’t like about this game: Colorado is for sure the most polarizing team in America. Unfortunately, in following that pattern, they also voluntarily labeled themselves the most unamerican football team in America. If there’s one thing you don’t want to do before traveling to a west Texas school known for throwing things at players, it’s diss the most beloved symbol of the greatest country in the world on Veterans Day weekend. Expect the Red Raider fans to come after Coach Prime and the Buffs like Dave Portnoy protecting one of his beloved employees that dates an insanely famous, admittedly deranged celebrity and ::shocker:: the relationship doesn’t end well.
