Waco Kid's college football 2019 week 5

The_Waco_Kid's Avatar
Each week upcoming games can be discussed and predictions made, name-calling after victories and general all-around college football discussion! Each week will be closed out by the next Monday and a new thread opened for the current college football schedule for each week.

Rules -

"Rules?? We don't need no stinkin’ rules!”

Actually we do.

WKWCFR rule 1

"Lies, damn lies and statistics!"

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli

If you quote a stat, record, 3rd down conversion rate, an all-time mark or the number of jock straps an 85-man team needs ...

Post it! If you can't post a link to it, it's bogus!
What's valid in the Internet age? Just about anything! Any of the major sports publications, local newspapers, any of the big networks and official school and NCAA sites just to cover the big ones.

WKWCFR rule 2

Predictions must be posted 1 day in advance! If you haven't read the sports page and figgured out who's going to win by the day before ya never will!

Must be time stamped before Midnight the day before game-day, for any weekly games Thur-Sun on the current weekly schedule.

So there you have it, pretty basic! You can post on general topics of your favorite teams regardless of that week's opponent. Just remember WKWCFR rule 1

Mike Leach blasts 'soft' Washington State team: 'They're fat, dumb and happy and entitled'

https://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...-and-entitled/


"We're a very soft team. We get a lot of good press. We like to read it a lot. We like to pat ourselves on the back, and if we get any resistance, we fold," Leach said. "And what's amazing about this is most of these guys were on the same team last year that was a tough team. Last year's team was a tough team for us. We have nearly the same guys and now all of a sudden they're not tough. They're fat, dumb and happy and entitled.

"I think we have a bunch of free agents running around thinking they're pretty special and then as soon as something doesn't go their way they want to pout. I think it's more collectively soft," he continued. "I really think over the offseason despite the fact we had incredibly hard work ... we get to the season and I think some collection of sitting around the apartments all the time talking about how great we're going to be, eventually it evolves to how easy it's going to be. As soon as we face resistance, we don't even fight it."
