No time for a lot of fucking about with fancy gifs and jokes this week. Because things at BRFL HQ are a hot mess right now. And they're getting worse, if you must know.
Virginia Tech dumps Clemson in South Carolina, 20 - 16. This is what happens when you think you're different. A vocal opponent of NIL and revenue sharing, too proud for The Portal, Dabo is still doing it the Clemson Way. And losing at home to a nobody team. Now explain to me how every single one of us (except McLovin, and he was just being a smart-ass) could be dumb enough to pick Clemson. Thanks for nothing, Coach Hot Seat.

Roll the bones.
Penn State 13, Northwestern 34. When your team runs for 48 yards and the other team runs for 413 (including two different guys gaining over 150), you are in trouble. Maybe your QB, named Rocco, can make up for it by chucking the ball for 243. But not if he throws 2 INTs. Foot meets ass. Penn State takes a beatin' in Evanston. Matt Campbell is in over his head.
Alabama 56, Mississippi State 23. The cowbell jokes are everywhere as Mississippi State takes the 'L' at home. The Tide lays a whuppin' on the Bulldogs and what th hell else did you really expect? Three people picked MSU. It cost McLovin a sweep. GG is not a friendly game.
Navy 9, Air Force 14. Two Service Academies slug it out in Colorado and BreauxFreaux's season is on life support. I get it. Navy was good last year. Maybe they will be good again. That's for others to say. All I know is that it could get worse for the Bro.
Scores:
Wake Forest Demon Deacons at North Carolina State, Raleigh, NC, Noon, ESPN.
#2 Georgia at #6 Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, 7:30, abc.

Roll the bones yo.
A busy weekend. Two Sweepers.
Texas 20 at Tennessee 17. This one was a banger. Colin Simmons with 5 sacks on the Tennessee QB and his usual handful of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Stay classy, Collin. There was also this kind of odd touchdown celebration. It's a Texas thing, I guess.
All Saturday games:
#1 Texas Longhorns at #14 Tennessee Vols, Neyland Stadium, noon, abc.
#17 Iowa at #18 Michigan, Michigan Stadium, 3:30, CBS.
#20 Oregon Ducks at #12 USC Trojans, L.A. Memorial Coliseum, 7:30, NBC.
Texas Tech 28, Houston 26. A barn-burner in Lubbock. Houston comes within a hair of taking it to OT on the 2 point conversion attempt. Alas, no. Stoned at the 1 millimeter line. A lot of soiled football pants for Tech. Hankies and sponges for the Houston Cougars. Both teams looked good but now TTech owns the head to head.
Ole Miss 32, LSU 24. Ole Miss rolls out the Welcome Mat for Lane Kiffin, and the Rebs dump the Bayou Bengals in Oxford. Haven't seen the game. A lot of drama. Rebs thanking God for that Trinidad Chambliss 10th year of eligibility ruling. At 24 yrs old, he's just getting started. SEC is a dog-fight from here on out.

| Charlie Cardinal doesn't give a fuck. |
Apropos of nothing but here's an Instagram clip from some guy in his basement, smoking meth out of a six foot bong, and watching the Indiana game. (Sign in to X to hear the audio. It's worth it.)
Okay, that's not really Charlie Cardinal (above), the Louisville Mascot, but it's close. And, apparently, Lincoln Keinholz had some kind of gash behind his ear, in the second half, that was leaking blood down his jaw. So he's a hemophiliac quarterback too, I guess.
Louisville 38, Ole Miss 41 in Nashville. A real sweep maker for a few of you sons-of-bitches.
Which brings us to ... what the fuck, Cal? All I've been hearing is how Cal is really coming on. As a program. In a good way. Not in a punching bag way. Which is what they were, at home, for the UCLA Bruins, on Saturday night. I guess there's something going on at UCLA, too. Or am I just a dumb-ass who sucks at GG?
UCLA 45, Cal 24. Bitterly disappointed in Berkeley.
Let's put this week's Pig to bed with the truck-drag in Baton Rouge. Lane Kiffin is a fucking jerk. This we know. But, Dabo, Dabo, DABO. I'm shakin' my head. There are a lot of reasons that Clemson stinks like dog poop right now; Brett Venables is at Oklahoma. Paying college players to play for your team is now okay. Dabo refuses to go all-in on the Portal and can't match the NIL money that others offer. Whatever. Just, ya' know, Dabo is looking like he's toast after this season. If he makes it through this season. Clemson still has to play Miami, Virginia Tech and the South Carolina Gamecocks. Ow.
Clemson 10, LSU 51. I don't know what drugs Lane Kiffin is taking but they're working. For now.
