Friday Night Games Sickos Thread

Gotta say that 46 yarder field goal to send it to OT was a helluva kick by Stanford kicker.  Made it look easy and good from 65.

I saw that highlight of Hunter getting that pick against TCU a thousand times. I better see that WR making that insane catch and pulling Hunter into the endzone for a game tying TD a thousand times.

Stanford lost to Sacramento State this season in a game where Stanford went 11/24 passing. How Colorado’s defense got torched for 400 yards passing in basically one half and OT is mind blowing.

Wowwww....  shocking comeback.  I'd written off Stanford and just checked the score before going to bed.... no, they're going to OT, have to stay up.

29-0.  Epic collapse.  One point away from being one of the top ten in CFB history.

Shadeur goes hero ball and throws an INT. Think you settle for 3 there and live to play another OT

Colorado is a very poorly coached team. Beyond the blown lead because they refused to run the ball, the amount of penalties in this game was shocking. I wouldnt be surprised if Deion gets rid of the D coordinator mid-season, that would seem to be on brand. 

One of the most epic second half collapses I’ve ever seen. Let’s put it this way: imagine the first half of Michigan vs Nebraska happened—and then Michigan lost. 

Stanford kept running the same slant routes every play and Colorado did nothing about it 

Hahahahaha!  (To “Coach Prime”)

This was the most poorly coached game I've seen in 40+ years of watching football. Sanders and his staff should be embarrassed. 

I saw the half time score and was like “meh”

To wake up and see that Stanford came back and won is beyond shocking. 

I’m assuming there was no “watch flex” at the end of this game. 

Missed the insanity, but I guess ESPN wants you to relive it as they're replaying the game now.

Up early and what the hell, Stanford?!?

Colorado may not win again this season.

Deion is going to get a lot of leash, and any reasonable Colorado fan would’ve come into this season with minimal to no expectations. 

But being up 29-0 at half and then losing to Stanford? THAT Stanford team? 

I’m not really sure that a bowl game is in the cards for this team anymore. They have one more game this season that is not against a ranked opponent, and it’s in the road. Beyond that, they have Wazzu, Oregon State, UCLA, and Utah on the schedule. 

Good luck finding a sixth win in there. 

A few points:

1. Night games suck to play in.  Colorado probably wins if this was a noon game; still, blowing a 29 point lead is bad.

2. Travis Hunter was rusty.  That CSU hit has paid dividends for their opponents.  At some point, bring in Cormani.  29 points though!

3. This is an embarrassing loss for the ages.

You gotta give it to coach prime, even when he loses a disastrous, embarrassing, Atlanta-Falcons-Memorial-stealing-defeat-from-the-clutches-of-victory game, it's still highly entertaining.  They're going to have to upset a couple of teams to even make a bowl now.  And then he threw his players under the bus.  Wow. 

I wouldn't be surprised if 60% of the team next year was new players and transfers.  30 freshmen, 30+ transfers...

Like a lot of us I saw a bit of the early part of the game and then called it a night, only to wake up and see the comeback.

I did have a small inkling that going for 2 up 20 seemed like a karma-inducing act, but still didn't think this would happen.

One issue CU has had all season, and you saw it in the second half highlights especially, was that Shadeur Sanders holds onto the ball too damn long and if the defense can get any line pressure he's cooked.  He took some sacks there where you either gotta throw it away or know the blitz is coming and get rid of it quickly/audible out.

And Hunter again seemingly played a billion snaps and by the end was running slower and missed a tackle or two.

This isn't a good Stanford team, though they aren't terrible by any stretch.  They probably should have beaten Arizona a couple weeks ago.  But there's no world where they should be storming back from 29 down to beat a team on the road.

I do wonder what happens to CU a bit; they basically only play ranked teams going forward and Arizona is no slouch.  I suspect their OC Lewis is going to take a job this off-season and while Sanders is recruiting fine it's still CU and a bunch of kids may come for the party and the TV but they may not sign up to play in Boulder.  So he's gotta develop the talent he has on hand and build up those lines, because they don't have it now and you can't rely on a couple of offensive players to carry you.

I’m assuming Travis Hunter’s Heisman campaign is officially over. I don’t recall Woodson giving up 300 yards to anyone. 

Stanford down 29-0 at the half being completely dominated..... comes back to win in 2OT 46-43.....

Crazy game....   suddenly CO looking at the rest of their schedule hoping for 2 more wins to see a bowl bid.

Well dang, I turned Stanford-colorado off at halftime, like I figured most reasonable folks on the east coast would have, and went to bed. Bummer.

That’s what happens when the team is nothing but a ragtag group from the portal.  It is not a team.  When they fall apart, there’s not much Prime can do to pull them back together.

I turned the game off, too. Stanford looked like the worst P5 team I’ve ever seen. And then I wake up to this and I’m kicking myself.

Hey, Deion - it wasn’t just your players who weren’t ready for the moment. 

Watching the game now. Announcers are still laughing at the thought of throwing at Hunter as he’s giving up 3 bills. 
 

Sanders missed a wide open out route that likely would have won the game in regulation. Sailed it over Hunter by 3 yards.
