Clemson is down 51-3. 😭

Whenever they’re talking about Kirk's dog, you know it’s a very one-sided game. But when Kirk also talks about how high the dewpoints are, you know the game is really bad. Also, talking about cheerleaders doing pushups and the ballboys.

New LSU record high of 37 1st downs!

Man Clemson has gone downhill since 2021.
That was right when the transfer rules opened up and then NIL. Some schools and coaches have benefited since then. And then there’s Dabo/Clemson. I think they’re still stuck in the last decade.
 
Braves, who are up on Phil by 4 games, are down 3-1 to Philly in bottom of the 7th in a very crucial series. Braves won Fri and Phil won last night. They play again tomorrow as well as 3 times next weekend in ATL.
 
Riley’s triple with RBI gave Braves the lead. Then a save by Iglesias. Braves win! Up by 5! Up 2-1 in series. One more on Labor Day early afternoon.

This was one of only 3-4 games I’ve seen this season thanks to being on NBC as I don’t have Braves Vision.

The Braves also now will be secured the season series over the Phillies which is huge!!

Braves lose 1-0 to Phil on 8th inning run. Series ends tied. Braves are up by 4 over Phil.

Next 9 days for Braves tough: Rays, Phillies, Cubs! All 3 teams have strong record (1st or 2nd in their division).
 
I still can't get over the obvious rigging of that Michigan game. Even some very prominent mainstream sports shows are talking about it. It's really hard to take sports seriously anymore.
Absolute heartbreak for W Mich. Michigan's probably the one team they most want to upset. And it ending like that probably makes it so much worse.

That is about the same time that Venables wqs supposedly caught cheating as well.
 
SEC has scheduled a vote on Thursday about kicking out LSU. I don’t think they’ll do it, but it’s still interesting.

I’m not aware of a conference publicly considering this in modern times.

Did you see this? It likely won’t matter but fwiw:

MAC wants Michigan’s win overturned after reversing course on end of game controversy


After further study and investigation, it is now evident that replay protocol was not properly followed in determining whether time remained on the game clock at the conclusion of the Western Michigan vs. Michigan football game.

The established replay protocol requires that the game clock displayed on the program feed be used in determining whether time remained. Instead, the Big Ten Conference replay crew relied upon the clock feed embedded within its replay system. As a result, one second was placed back on the game clock and an additional play was awarded.

This was not a judgment regarding the proper amount of time to place on the clock. It was an error in the application of the established replay protocol governing this specific end-of-game timing situation. Had the protocol been properly followed and the program-feed clock been used, no additional play would have been awarded, and Western Michigan would have won the game, 12–7.

I heard something about it earlier but didn't know the specifics. If I'm reading that right, basically there's two clocks, (at least in the Big Ten?). The one displayed on our TV (program feed), and the other one they keep up with on the field or the "clock field embedded with its replay system". Hmmmm

They're supposed to follow the the TV clock, but they didn't this time..

It sounds like the MAC might have a legitimate and arguable point. I also agree it likely won't matter since it's the MAC vs the Big Ten, which is obviously unfair, but sadly reality.

The two clocks thing just blows my mind BTW. Let's come up with a scenario for shenanigans. How about we display a clock, but also have a super secret REAL clock that no one can see. We follow the first clock of course (cause that's the protocol), except when things hit the fan and then we use the REAL clock. I mean, that's up there with awarding some team a 5th down to remain undefeated. 🤣

It’s pure bs Michigan lost

I doubt they do it as well, but I'm glad they are at least showing they have guts to threaten it.

I watched some games last week, but beyond just the fun of remembering watching college football, its pretty much dead to me as is.
 
Despite MI’s official win:

By dropping out of the AP Top 25 after being ranked No. 16 in the preseason poll, Michigan now holds the dubious honor of becoming the highest-ranked team to drop out of the following week's AP poll after a victory since the rankings expanded to 25 teams in 1989, according to CBS Sports Research.

And check this out:

Western Michigan jumped 14 spots after its close loss, moving up to No. 32 this week
