Coming in hot with a bulllllllshit late hit call on Colorado. What a gift.

Man UCLA is lucky. Horseshit late hit call and then that false start wiped out a worthless third down run.

I took CU -9 and under 57 which means this game is not going as planned. 

Buffs not moving the ball well, 3&out...

Or not, penalties saving both offenses so far...

Lol Pac 12 refs in full effect

Touchdown Buffs... 57 yard hail Mary...

Damn Shenault is good (and that coverage was butt). DeSoto kid.

DeSoto, Texas bitchez! 

Lol that UCLA CB looking like sophomore Kris Boyd out there

You mean playing outside technique when the receiver is running on the hash marks is not a good idea?

FS1 - the promos for tomorrow about Texas being "hot" and "on a roll" and "ranked" are a beautiful change from previous years.

Some happy bananas in the crowd tonight...

Really nice cross-body pass by Montez - another Texan from El Paso Del Valle

Pretty throw and catch to the flag

KD Nixon, another DeSoto kid. With all their best players from Texas, you have to wonder why CU switched to the Pac.

Because they thought Texas and part of the Big XII were going, and they were getting left. So they jumped the gun for the invite. Culturally and geographically they’re a fit.

True, student body-wise they're almost a California state school. Just tougher for football recruiting so far.

Where should we post about 1-3 Tulane puttin’ da’ hurt on 3-1 Memphis with massive plays?

Unnecessary roughness for that?  OL fall on their guys all the time to make sure they can't get up and get back in on the play.  The holding on the same guy was a legit call though.

 

Ah, that was pure, uncut Pac 12 refereeing. The really good stuff.

And another one!

Tulane just smacking the crap out of 15 point favorite Memphis!

MEMPHIS 14 - 40 TULANE

Did someone say Pac-12 After Dark?!? I LOVE Pac-12 After Dark!

Ooooo Oregon @ Cal should be some excellent Pac 12 After Dark wild life

Memphis with a quick score. 

MEM 21 - 40 TUL

7:05 remaining 

Huh...so I honestly do love Pac-12 After Dark games...especially on Saturday nights when it feels like we get an extra heaping helping of games in the late night slot going on into the early (next day) morning  here in the Central time zone.  On a whim, I just Googled "Pac 12 after dark" and noticed this interesting result:

Larry Scott defends Pac-12 After Dark, says late-night college football games 'unlock significant value'

Quote

A season ago, Scott said 24 of the Pac-12's 80 conference games had local start times of 7 p.m. or later. He did not give an estimated figure for 2018.

"The reason we play almost a third of our games at night is that was a way to unlock significant value from television in our last negations," Scott said. "ESPN and Fox placed a high value on us giving them a little more flexibility and being willing to play more night games."

I feel like he is subconsciously not helping the cause....

Awesome! Love a good trick play. MacIntyre is a better passer than Turpin.

Yeah he is.  Is he the one who said he went to Colorado because he was tired of the heat?

And the "just give the ball to Laviska" offense is working out well. TD CU

Can't remember - Google is being unhelpful there unfortunately.

Found it, it was in a Bruce Feldman write up in the Athletic

Spoiler

The secret is out at Colorado. Inside the program this summer, Mike MacIntyre and his staff were downright giddy about the potential of sophomore Laviska Shenault, a linebacker-sized X-factor offensive weapon with 4.4 speed. “He’s a total freak,” MacIntyre told me, after asking to keep some of the hype about Shenault on the down low. MacIntyre said Shenault has great hands and was going to play every receiver position for CU while also lining up in the backfield, at Wildcat QB, just about everywhere you could imagine. 

“I’ve never had anything like him,” MacIntyre said. “He’s that good. I’m tellin’ ya. He’s ridiculous.”

The 6-2, 220-pounder started 2018 with a bang, catching 11 passes for 211 yards and a TD in a win Friday vs. Colorado State. He also had one carry for 5 yards and looks like quite a factor for Steven Montez and the Buffs’ offense.

Colorado beat out Alabama and TCU among others to land Shenault. The Buffs also recruited one of his best friends from high school in K.D. Nixon, a top wide receiver on a powerful DeSoto (Texas) High team that finished their final season as the No. 2-ranked team in the country. 

Shenault told me Monday the reason he turned down a powerhouse like Alabama for CU was that he was intrigued to go somewhere he could make a difference. “I didn’t want to go somewhere that was already on the map,” he said. He also really liked Colorado when he visited and said he wanted to get away from where he grew up, particularly the climate. 

“That Texas heat is something fierce,” he said.

 

Ah, that's the irredeemably shitty UCLA we've come to know and love this year.

I'm gonna be sweating this over til the very end, I'm guessing.
