Maybe it was a clause in the Bradford trade
LOL. 

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's that our O-line is simply shit (and losing both starting tackles for the season obviously didn't help).  Has been for the last 2-3 years now.  Those guys can't block an opposing front four, even if the latter were Smurfs.

I love ESPN's "Bottom 10."  We have two exceptional games coming up. 

The first is the "Owl Bowl"
Speaking of FPI, why are we even wasting it on games that don't matter? Because here at Bottom 10 HQ there's only one game that matters, and that's the Nov. 5 Pillow Fight of the Century, aka the Owl Bowl, when FA(not I)U visits Rice. As of right now, FPI says Rice has the edge with a 62 percent chance of winning, but also says that the rest of us have a 100.8 percent chance of winning simply because the game is being played.

The second is the "Auntie Em Bowl" which does not involve K-State:
A friendly warning: Assuming we all come out of the Owl Bowl with our wits still intact, we need to immediately brace ourselves for what comes the very next weekend, when Iowa State travels to Kansas for the Auntie Em Bowl.



These are two pillow fights that we can look forward to.

In related news, Tennessee did not begin struggling against their soft back-half of the season this past weekend.

And I didn't miss it. At all. :buck2:

NFL ratings are down 12% this year compared to last.  Seton Hall University commissioned a poll and the leading reason given for the decline was the national anthem protests.

Missouri got pounded again - this time by Kentucky.  They have imploded after their politically correct hissy fit.  The University has had a massive decrease in both ticket sales and donations (athletic and otherwise) since their implosion several years ago.

Dave Doeren is going to get fired.  Get pantsed by Louisville the weekend after your push Clemson to the limit?  Sure.  Lose to BC the next week?  He's done.  It's been too many years of mediocre results.

SEC East seems to be much weaker than the West again.  I was surprised Tennessee lost to the Gamechickens. 
Kentucky is in 2nd place in the SEC East behind Florida??????

Local paper thinks it's time for a change at NC State, too
http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/luke-decock/article111377152.html

What's funny is that even in the face of mediocre results, the Internet Comment Brigade still wants to kill the messenger by just painting the author as a UNC cheerleader out to get NC State.
