*** 2023-2024 College Football Survivor Week 6 ***

Bad week to pick an underdog undefeated team this week. Only lost 6 people but one was 3rdCoastClone who had a substantial bonus point lead. It's now anyone's game from a bonus point stand point.

Tiebreaker points return this year. A reminder regarding tiebreaker points: If your team wins and covers you gain an extra bonus point. If you take a undefeated team who is the underdog you gain the point for them covering plus another bonus point. As the season goes on the number of teams undefeated being a underdog greatly diminish so take advantage while you can.


I will be using ESPN's Lines. Line will be the line at kickoff for tiebreaker points

Williams & Blum: A perplexing conversation after 30 point loss to OU

Enjoy!

2003 vs 2023

I made a comment in the Ohio thread that the 2003 team would beat this team. It was heat of the moment, and obviously several people dumbed the post.

I stand corrected now that we have changed the offensive game plan from the Ohio and Iowa games.

But tonight's game reminded me of the OU game in 2003 (56 - 7, our only score being a JaMaine Billups Pick 6 on OU's backup).

Yes, the 2003 team was historically bad, but I think back on that year, and I still wonder how a HEALTHY 2003 team would fare.

Tyson Smith went down with a broken leg, Jordan Carstens went down for the year (broken arm I think?), Bob Montgomery was out for the year, and Hiwatha Rutland was out for the year a few games into the season, hell, even Yelk went down so we were without our starting punter. Stevie Hicks replaced Rutland, but Michael Wagner seemed to shoulder most of the running duties.

Hell, with the exception of Zach Butler at Center, our entire starting offense from 2002 was back, minus Seneca (correct me on the O-Line though). I don't recall much from the defense though other than Tyson, Billups, and Carstens returning (please remind me).

Keep Flynn as the starter all year (I am a bit biased with that one), and don't switch between Flynn, Cris Love, and Waye Terry every other game (it was after the OU game that began), and if the entire team was healthy for the year, how would that team have fared? 4 wins? 5 wins? We only won two games that year. UNI and Ohio.

How would an entirely healthy 2003 offense fare against the defense we saw tonight?

Am I the only one seeing a lot of parallels between 2003 and 2023? Losing starters (injuries/gambling), freshman QB, coaching tenure (Mac 9th year, Campbell 8th year), etc.

NFL: Levi Stadium Tailgating/Bars

Headed to the Cowboys @ 49ers game at Levi Stadium in a week and curious about the tailgating/bar scene near the stadium.

Plan to leave downtown San Fran around noon to head towards the area and want a place to hang and preferably watch football within walking distance of the stadium.

Look forward to any suggestions!

STORY: Iowa State's defense was a no-show in Norman

It wasn't a great day for Iowa State's defense while the offense made strides.

Architectural Design Help

Bought a house and plan to add a 3-car garage, along with other renovations. Knowing that there are a few architect/design folks on here I am seeking some input. My house is a one-story ranch style that's had an addition in the past that is causing some roofline issues on how I add my garage addition. The black lines are the existing structure rooflines, and the green is the area where the garage will go. Any thoughts on how the garage roof should go? There's no real snow to worry about sitting on the roof here, but really struggling with how to line up the addition. I'd love some ideas from the creative types on here!
