This thread is for discussing anything about the slate of college football games from Thursday, November 23 through Saturday, November 25.

Post your general observations about the day’s games or even use this as a Game Day Thread if the thread for the game you’re following has no other participants.

I’m posting this thread early this week due to the CFB games on Thursday and Friday.

    Cal and UCLA are playing right now and I just want to say, pour one out for the PAC-12 After Dark, everyone. I now live on the east coast and have a day job so I can’t do it anymore, but I have fond memories of staying up when I was in college to watch those games. This may be the last one as we know it, but I hope that whatever next year holds this sort of game continues in spirit.

      I’m an east coaster and fell asleep too early to watch this game. But today made me hate realignment even more. The Apple Cup in particular showed how dynamic the PAC-12 is.

    Happy turkey day everyone! Let’s all pray for a good game between the buckeyes and the wolverines, and an absolutely sloppy egg bowl.

    I don’t know about anyone else, but for me this has been my favorite weekend of college football this entire season. Every game has been great. Really living up to the hype.

      Same! Beating Alabama was the best individual game for me, obviously, but pound for pound this week has delivered with the craziness so far.

    The color rush in the Civil War is an affront to the eyes. I guess it’s kind of Christmas themed, since OSU’s orange looks like red? RIP to anyone who’s red-green colorblind

    UTSA @ 21 Tulane

    These Friday games keep catching me out. Only just got back home from visiting family (it’s halftime in this one). I was able to get audio of a stream on my phone in the car, although maybe I shouldn’t have. 4 turnovers? Botched fake punt (and one by Tulane)? Goodness

    TCU @ OU.

    Well, this one is starting rough for the ol’ Frogs. Pretty sure Gary Patterson made a deal at the Crossroads to get that 2005 win.

      Well, they’ve made it look like a more respectable sort of blowout, but I think 52-31 should just about be a wrap on this disappointing season. Too much defense lost, too much OL lost, too much “fuck our own defense” Kendal Briles nonsense, and one very stupid opener against Coach Prime.

      Wow, that was a very stupid time and place for a fake punt. Sonny is not winning any CoY awards this year.
