To IU. So 2 of our top 4 hs commits have now flipped. And I dm’d someone long ago about a couple others that are on flip watch and they won’t be popular if it comes to fruition.

a repeat winner in TheRealVille getting 11 of 13.. Congrats TRV!

Brag on TRV.! Brag about a job very well done sir! Also, to the 3 of you who got 10 pics too!

Tiebreaker does not come into play again his week. But if it did, Kudos go to TPA Cdfan for getting the score perfect at 24-20 with Pitt as winner. Even though team was wrong, score was spot on. Great job sir!

A sincere TY to all of the participants and better fortune in week 13.

My choker award goes to the Cards this week. With Pitt at home choking on the last play of the game to CU a close second. Both earned it.

Biggest surprise to me was KU upsetting BYU and spoiling an undefeated season Tough loss.

Breakdown of 19 players:

11 of 13 - TheRealVille

10 of 13 - Guardman, sccard, BooneCountyCard

-9 of 13 - 73card, Pushupman, HaydenHarris,Koeterback12, RhinoByars, Knucklehank, cardrock

-8 of 13 - cocoa, bdnewton, CRTW, mayo

-7 of 13 - TPA cdsfan, Rollem

-5 of 13 - WaHoo

Best and most entertaining game to me was the Clemson come from behind beatdown of Pitt. Dabo's luck strikes again.

This was a great week for TRV and good for most picr's. We are on the home stretch for this season picr's!

But Curse you Pitt, Cai, KSU, BYU and especially UofL. Bunch of weenies especially the Panthers, and when the Cards beat them will Narduzzi be on the hot seat?

There are a couple of interesting matchups with the Bonus Games this week...pulling for IU over OSU, and Vandy to upset LSWho.
Also, looking forward to Army @ ND and Bama @ OK games, can you smell the Sooner upset special?

Good fortune to ya this week!

Just keep pic'n and grinnin!

Obviously the defense is a disaster. And somehow Riley got absolutely annihilated by a freshman receiver. So all that needs to get fixed.

I’m concerned about Brohm’s game mismanagement because it takes him looking in the mirror to fix that. He seems to get impatient with his play calling. We could’ve ran the ball down their throats instead we chuck it deep seemingly inexplicably. And when you have undisciplined play then ultimately that is a failure of the head coach.

We aren’t using in-helmet communication effectively and apparently sometimes not at all.

I sat behind the bench and saw little energy on the sideline. The team seemed really disinterested.

We are 17th in recruiting in the ACC. You can’t rely on transfer to build a roster. You use transfers to fill out a roster.

There's not a nice way to say it, but Stanford is not good. Losers of 6 in a row, the Cardinal are getting outscored 221-109 in conference play. Now, they do have a surprising win at Syracuse earlier this season, and they started 2-1 before the six game skid. They have a fairly ineffective offense, ranked 122nd in the nation, and their defense isn't a whole lot better, ranked 105th. The only way UofL comes home without a win is they approach this game over confident. That's where the bye-week comes into factor. Are their heads right? Are they feeling too good about themselves? There's actually a path to the playoffs, however remote those chances might be. Will they maintain focus, one game at a time? There's that mysterious curse Brohm has, too. After a big win, he nearly always takes an L.

On paper, the Cards win fairly easily. I'd love for this to be an early rout, leave no doubt. Rhyme unintended.

@shadow force you got any nuggets for us? TIA if you do.

Maybe there’s something in the water here. Maybe it’s memory decline due to aging or maybe the recent explosions and fires in Louisville have released chemicals in the air that are negatively affecting the recall abilities of our coaches. Whatever it is, coaches Kelsey, Brohm and Walz have all forgotten how to coach this past week. We can only hope than new advances in memory care are on the horizon.

Not to pile on, but it struck me that Brohm's loss yesterday was very much like Mario Cristobal's loss last year to Georgia Tech. Although the series of events that we committed to allow Stanford to win on a 52-yard FG may make OUR loss worse than Cristobal's. Regardless they're both examples of serious coaching malfeasance.

And ... with as much fun as I had marinating in that epic Miami loss, clearly, KARMA showed up for me in a big way.

What time is the game ??

The game winning field goal we made easier for Stanford was one of the stand out plays this week. Embarrassing!

Maybe the HC should offer up some of his money to bridge the gap to pay more for key assistant positions ???
I know, just thinking outside the box. That likelihood is as about as possible as gettting into the SEC.

I hate to think it, much less say it...'the Bye' beat us this game. Focus and MO not sustained.

The ACC needs to rethink the scheduling issue. No more 2 bye seasons especially one early in the season at week 3. Lets play FB and focus on keeping the FOCUS on momentum...winning a big game then having a bye week sucks too...and it bit us in the butt this week.

Also, I really despise Clemson and Dabo winning like they did. Now Pitt is going to come into next weeks game with claws out and take pride in making it two in a row against the hapless Cards to salvage their season.

I hope I am wrong ,but two chokers facing each other is a sad, bad look for the ACC and one of them will take it on the chin again. This could have been a national highlight game had both teams played better and won their games.

Cards having five losses going into the UK game would be disgusting to me. At least the Cards don't have to play Texas this next game....just a pissed off Panther team...which is worse?

Oh well, 8 wins is still possible no matter how unlikely that is at this point in time. Cardinals got to find a way to get back up and end this season on a positive note. Just win the damn games like SMU has been doing. How good is coach Rhett Lashley?

The ACC really needs Miami (sic) to step up in a big way the rest of the season...in short to prove that it is not just Clemson and nobody else in the league...and to spoil the SEC/BIG media lovefest.

If the SEC gets 4-5-6 teams in and /or BIG gets 4 or more, CFB will suck forever more....and what has been my favorite college sport to watch will no longer be 'my favorite" anymore...and that just sux to me.

Just awful.

All around awful.


.

I have heard from several different media types that we have never won a game in the state of California.

Obviously, that streak can either be snapped today, or extended. And last year, we got rolled by USC in San Diego in the Holiday Bowl (which I believe is our only bowl game in California).

But how many times have we actually played in California? How vaunted is this streak?

EDIT -- We tied San Jose State 10 - 10 in our Fiesta Bowl Season (thanks to Ted Washington blocking a last second FG). So this is part of that streak.


I think we snap that streak today. But I'm curious how big this really is.


.

Time and time again we have been hurt by long passes. All season long. Time for a defensive coach change. We will never reach the top with this kind of defensive coaching. Haven't posted since the Payne debacle, but I hate to see a team with great potential have it snuffed out by our defense.

BC @ SMU - Mustangs detalon the Eagles and win going away in 4th Qtr

*CU @ Pitt - TIEBREAKER - Panthers at home are better than the Tigers away and helps the Cards cause in the ACC standings. 28-24

UofL @ Stnfd - In the battle of the birds the Cardinals fly over the Cardinal in a closer game than most think it will be

WF @ UNC - The state school triumphs over the private school in the Carolina duel...my who cares game of the week

Cuse @ Cal - The Bears put the Orange Crush on the Cuse and win another league game

UVA @ ND - The Irish play cavalierly and still roll the Cavs by double digits..would like to see the ACC upset though


BYES: Duke, FSU,GT, Mia, NC St, VT and IU - UK might beat Murray State...well maybe if healthy


UTenn @ UGA - In this game of the day in the SEC, the Dawgs put it together and vanquish the Vols easily

Mizzu @ USCjr - 2nd best SEC game to watch has the Gamecocks smash this Tiger team by 2 scores or more

UC @ ISU - Will Satt right the ship? Or will the Cyclones blow another game? Aaagh, ISU prevails by a little

AzSt @ KS St - This wildcat team pulls the shade over these Sun Devils and beats the heaven out of them

Oregon @ Wisc - No upset here as the Ducks walk all over the not so tough cheezy weezzy Badgers

TX @ Ark - Longhorns romp in this game over the pitiful razorbacks as fans demand money back from sucky team

KU @ BYU - The team on the mission continues to whip the B12 pedigree teams, so sad for KU but not too sad

XXX -Ill @ Rutgers - Scrub this game...i made a mistake. Sorry for the confusion.

My upset hope is with Pitt to beat Clemson to help the Cards out. With UVA vs ND being the other one I would really like to see happen.

And of course BC over SMU would be nice...but BC never wins when I pick them too so there is that factor for me.
I would also like to see UT upset UGA to give them a third loss...but have no faith in the Vols at all.

As always good fortune to ya! Now get to pic'n and grinnin. Enjoy the games

How can I watch the game this weekend? It doesn’t look like ACCN has its own app but need to subscribe to another streaming service. I have Spectrum and they are in a dispute with Disney which I think carries ACCN. It’s been a challenge this year trying to watch games!
