Missed the damn PAT

 

[VolPack22]

Would be nice to see TCU score a touchdown.

That doesn’t matter, a FG wins it for you

It’s at 72 (75 wins it)

 

[VolPack22]

Hard to believe this was a 10-7 game at one point.

Ok, I didn’t know if the tiebreaker was closest without going over or not.

It might be, I’m not sure.

Georgia could have started all walk ons and won this game.

 

[VolPack22]

Let’s just get another touchdown to be safe

Crap, running out the clock. Sorry man.

Crap, running out the clock. Sorry man.

It’s alright, I will just claim it like Nick Saban claims Alabama should have been in the playoff.

LOL .... 65-7 what a pos game for the NC. Do you think Kirby will sleep tonight?

 

[VolPack22]

LOL .... 65-7 what a pos game for the NC.

Clock struck midnight for TCU finally.

 

[VolPack22]

It was closest score prediction and not closest without going over. I got 2nd place. Oh well.

Would kirby take a phone call from a nfl team flashing money...?

Highly unlikely. I think he wants to surpass everything Saban has done and rub his face in it.

Ya true...but be interesting to see if someone came calling

Lions should try. I think he would love spending his winters in Detroit.

I hear the Broncos are looking for a new coach. He fit in good there.

Sorry man, it was a valiant effort. You represented the dugout well!

 

[Volprofch05]

Fair enough, Lions have sucked for many years. Wouldn’t be surprised if they own the lowest all time winning percentage of any NFL team.

So, the lions actually appear to be 25th in win percentage (fail-cons are 28th…), but we can all still laugh at the Bucs
