Boo to Commercial->kickoff->commercial. Worst idea in TV history, and I'm including the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Rivalry game that’s always salty as long as SMU even has a pulse, and they seem half decent so this should be tight.

The saltiness the DFW teams have for each other is delicious

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So much familiarity, and I think sometimes it’s the rivals that are hardest to differentiate from a difference that take the games the most personal.

[–] cmbabul@fanaticus.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Totally agree, also having done a lot of work in DFW about 5 years ago I learned that any and all football is a religion there, makes it even more intense

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yup. Even if it's not your particular fight, you nod approvingly at the passion: High School, CFB, NFL, whatever.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Fuckers with their fake-ass "Dallas" uniforms. You play in University Park, double-douchebags. University Park exists specifically not to be Dallas.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Halftime shower thought. If they made a movie about UW or BSU, Timothy Olyphant needs to play Chris Petersen. They look and sound alike, and wikipedia confirms they're both from unfashionably inland northern California.

Good to get points, but TD would have been nice. Lettin' them hang around.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Finally a clean stop. Smoo overthinking it.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Frogs D has turned it around this quarter. Nice.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Good to get points, but TD would have been nice. Lettin' them hang around. x2

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

There we go! Wearing the Ponies down.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Nice pick! Hopefully that broke them.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

LOL. Was all set for "Good to get points, but TD would have been nice. Lettin' them hang around. x3"

Assuming Frogs win, "we wanted to get the Aussie punter a TD pass" is peak memery.

But of course that leaves SMU feeling like there's hope. Fuckers.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Booo, needed the soft flag there, LOL.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Well, poop. Still, if there's a time for prevent style of defense to keep things in front of you, it's when you're up three scores with under 5 minutes.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Alright, well done Frogs.

Also, refs hate calling safeties.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Held to a FG. Phew. Gotta tighten up.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Nice punt. I hate that it was necessary.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Nice drive, but still some “skin of their teeth” stuff from frogs.

I will never not love Froghorn though.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

More good offense from TCU. I never trust a "bend-don't-break defense, though.

Also, Smoo always has some RB trying to channel CJK5H, and it makes me hate their stupid faces.
