Florida coach Dan Mullen tonight after getting embarrassed:
“The last game this 2020 team played was 11 days ago.”
“We didn’t have to play.”
“I thought our scout team guys played well.”
Didn’t think it was possible, but his quotes are more embarrassing than his teams play
OU- 59

“Embarrassing. This isn’t football. This team doesn’t deserve to be in the playoff.”
Texas A&M- 74

“UNBELIEVABLE! THE GAME OF THE YEAR! IT DOESN’T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!”
Oklahoma State basketball will not be allowed to compete in the postseason after their appeal was denied by the NCAA.
All because of SELF REPORTED violations by an assistant coach in 2016.

Nice little flex here from

"Having coached in half of the national championships in the last 20 years, there's a blueprint."
Solid.
For those that have asked, here's Brent Venables tripping and falling while coming out of the tunnel before the game.
You can see a ton of other players coming off the ground thru the smoke as well. Never seen that before.

Last season, Oklahoma State suffered the worst loss of the Mike Gundy era by scoring margin at Kansas State.
Tonight’s loss to South Alabama is far and away the worst loss of the Gundy era, and the worst loss since…? I’m not sure I can find one in the last few decades.

Best part about this Rondale Moore TD for me? Biggest moment of the game. Biggest moment of the biggest upset of the season. He runs to the ref and gives him the ball. Hope everyone caught that. ACT LIKE YOU’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE.
I’m all for getting your information in order, not rushing to comment on Damar Hamlin, etc.
But no official statement from the NFL or Roger Goodell for an hour on how they’ll handle the Bills Bengals game is shocking. Especially when their initial choice was a 5 minute warmup.
