Friday, September 29, 2023 – Snarky Football Friday – Week Five

Friday, September 29, 2023 – Snarky Football Friday – Week Five Who knows what evil lurks on Saturday? The Shadow knows. That is good, but I certainly do not know what is going to happen. This is “Anything can Happen” weekend. It is already a terrible year for quarterbacks. Tortilla Tech, NY Jets, and Texas A&M have all lost their starting quarterback to leg injuries. I do wish speedy…

Mississippi State: 2023 ReliaQuest Bowl Champions

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Massimo Biscardi made a 27-yard tiebreaking field goal with four seconds left, Marcus Banks returned a fumble 60 yards for a touchdown on the game's last play and No. 24 Mississippi State rallied to beat Illinois 19-10 in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday in the Bulldogs' first game since coach Mike Leach's death.

Banks' score came on Illinois' fifth lateral following a completed pass after the Fighting Ilini got the ball at their own 29. There was a scrum on the field as the game ended, but order was restored after a couple of minutes.

Will Rogers was 29 of 44 yards for 261 yards and one touchdown for Mississippi State (9-4, No. 22 CFP).

Tommy DeVito completed 23 of 34 passes for 253 yards for Illinois (8-5).

Reggie Love III rushed for 53 yards on 12 carries for Illinois. Fighting Illini running back Chase Brown, the nation’s second-leading rusher in the regular season with 1,643 yards, sat out to prepare for the NFL draft.

Mississippi State was held without a touchdown until the first play of the fourth quarter, when Rogers connected on an eight-yard throw to Justin Robinson that tied the game at 10.

The Bulldogs averaged 32.7 points during the regular season.

Illinois, which entered allowing 12.3 points and held six opponents to under 10 points, played without defensive backs Devon Witherspoon and Sydney Brown. Both opted out ahead of the NFL draft.

DeVito put Illinois up 7-0 on a two-yard run with 2:49 left in the second quarter.

Mississippi State responded with a 38-yard field goal by Biscardi with nine seconds to go in the first half.

IIlinois went up 10-3 on a 52-yard field goal by Caleb Griffin midway through the third.

Mississippi State was limited to 50 yards on its first three possessions, while the next two ended on interceptions by Matthew Bailey and Kendall Smith.

Illinois tops the nation with 24 interceptions.

HONORING MIKE

Among the tributes to Leach, who died on Dec. 12 due to complications from a heart condition, was “MIKE” with a pirate logo as part of the “I” painted between the 20 and 30 on one segment of the field.

The Mississippi State band spelled out “LEACH" before a moment of silence was held before the game.

The Bulldogs had a pirate flag instead of the school logo on their helmets. Illinois’ helmet had a logo similar to what was painted on the field.

Leach’s nickname was “The Pirate.”

Mississippi State’s Dillon Johnson takes wild shot at Mike Leach while announcing decision to transfer

Mississippi State running back Dillon Johnson is transferring from Starkville, apparently with head coach Mike Leach’s stamp of approval. The junior announced Wednesday he is leaving the program while taking a clear shot at Leach on his way out. After the usual collection of shout-outs and thank-yous, Johnson wrote the main reason for his decision is that he is “not very tough, and Leach is glad…

Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Washington, and Missouri all have elections tomorrow August 6, 2024.

It's primarily primaries (heh) but you may have local issues to vote on that are important, so even if you don't care about the primaries you should see if anything you care about will be on your ballot.

yknow what, i know the rest of the world loves to give us americans shit about not speaking another language but the vast majority of the nation (and ESPECIALLY the southern border states) have so much spanish naturally integrated into their every day vocabulary that it genuinely confuses us when people (from somewhere where spanish isn't common, for example) don't know a super basic spanish word we use practically every day.

and i know most of us can't actually speak spanish enough to hold a conversation, but i don't think it's accurate to really call us monolinguists either at this point. we're in some weird gray in-between area. much like a good chunk of louisiana knows a hell of a lot of french just because french is so prominently part of the culture there, but not a whole lot could actually speak french. no idea what this sort of thing is called but i think it's really neat and it's not particularly something I've seen much of in like, british english for example. which i find so many kinds of strange considering their proximity to dozens of other languages. american english is absolutely fucking stupid in some regards but I think that we have this weird hybrid thing going on is very cool and shouldn't be forgotten.
