Sorry, sir. The "juggalo" label is reserved for U of Cincinnati fans. They're a close cousin of da U's "thuggaloes".

Does Vegas know something I don't know? How many points are MSU's cowbells worth? Do they have eleven returning starters on defense?

I'm having a hard time figuring out how Auburn is favored by only 2.5.

I don't know but they Vegas boys are usually pretty close.

Yea, i saw the line for this game today and was shocked it was only 2.5. In some places i saw it as low as 1.5. Obviously someone out there must know alot more then we do. Either way, i think Auburn covers and wins by at least 7.

well, last time they played on this field they blew up the scoreboards.
a 3-2 barn burner that still has people talking.

oops. you dropped something.

 

[OhioState001]

Wow the announcers are fricken dumb sometimes. ""Guys I think its a fumble" No really what was your first clue, "Thats an Auburn touchback" No its not dumbass are you even watching MSU clearing recovered.

"Thats an Auburn touchback" No its not dumbass are you even watching MSU clearing recovered.

deleted my post to respond to this... that's a clear fumble into the endzone. That's a touchback. Regardless of who recovers. Unless there's some rule or by law I've missed?

 

[jlb1705]

Nah, it was a TD. It was a dumb play by the QB, but his lineman bailed him out on the recovery. The one replay we got to see made it pretty clear to me that the lineman got it, then an Auburn player took it away from him after the fact. Once the lineman had it though, it's a touchdown. Anything Auburn does after that in the pile is after the play is legally dead.

It's only a touchback if the defensive team recovers or if it goes out-of-bounds through the endzone.

Apparently football is so advanced in the SEC that there is no need to execute the center-quarterback exchange, and players are required to dribble when they move with the ball.

 

[jlb1705]

another fumbled exchange.
