Cash Moore definitely cheating while we're on the subject

Cheesing the run game because I can’t pass for shit.

Thank you. I thought it would be a fun way to mix in the DS world. And yes, Cash is cheating but I can’t prove it yet.

AJ Turner does it again

He’s literally my offense. No way we beat good teams like this.

Thank you. Credit to 2021 version of you or Lotis on OS. One of you did it back then and I thought it was awesome but never knew how to do bbcode well enough to mix it in.

Turner is going to need a walker by the time this season is done.

Is Cash Moore cheating? Almost to 50 homeruns again.

Turner is going to crash out in the bowl game like my running back did last season.

Week 7 in the CFB Universe: Texas loses again, Georgia is no longer undefeated, and is the Heisman race over?


Is this the year SMU break the "Big Four" cycle and win it all? /ShireNiner PS5 Images

Week 7, 2026 | NCAAF



Another week of action and the SMU Mustangs still keep proving doubters wrong. Quarterback Kevin Jennings has been in the spotlight all season and has not backed down once, leading SMU to a perfect 7-0 record. After starting the season with a 63-42 win at Notre Dame, SMU has won at Washington State, Stanford, Syracuse, Louisville, and won home games against California and Portland. With Ohio State losing last week, Texas losing for a second time, and now Georgia joining the land of beaten teams. This season is setting up for SMU to be ranked number one all year with the schedule remaining. A home game against Boston College followed by a trip to Washington, then Virginia, Florida State, and Wake Forest, rotating home and away games to end the season in the ACC.

"This team is legit." David Pollack said on the "See Ball Get Ball" podcast, "The fourth-best offense in the country and number five in takeaways. This team is more than just the quarterback; they have some dudes that can play."

While people are hyping up SMU, fans are downplaying the Florida Gators' success so far. The only notable win for the number two team in the country is against 4-2 Alabama back in week four. The rest of the schedule that Florida has faced is one game under .500. The Gators will have a chance to shut everyone up in the next few weeks with games against Oklahoma, Missouri, Georgia, Auburn, and Florida State.

The most surprising team of the season so far is Michigan. Now ranked 5th and leading the Big Ten, Michigan is running through teams. Scoring 38, 41, 52, 48, and 52 points in games this season, the only low-scoring affair was a 17-10 win at Iowa. Michigan has blown out Iowa State, Indiana, and scored 52 on Penn State in recent weeks.

The Wolverines will have a gauntlet coming up with a trip to Oregon, followed by a trip to Minnesota, and then UCLA at home. To end the season, they will, of course, have The Game, which is currently looking like a Big Ten championship.

Owusu doesn't need any more pressure, cuz

that last performance didn't instill a lot of confidence, ngl, considering the rest of the schedule

northwestern was actually harder than Washington and UCLA even though those games were closer. We are going to try surprising teams and opening the playbook now.
