Shut out Spain. Go undefeated in group. Knock out Uruguay from that group. Never lose in regulation. Score on the top ranked defending champs in extra time and take them to the brink. Even if they lose, Capo Verde are the winners of this World Cup.

The streets will never forget you, Cape Verde.

It’s not quite talkin’ szn, but it is pre-talkin’ season. Big thanks to fellow sicko @eric18utah.bsky.social for having me on the EndZone Podcast. Come for the jokes about Texas A&M, stay for my silly question about the best CFB coach wingman. open.spotify.com/episode/4fll...

Reece James is pretty important for England, eh?

Tough choices today

I know the Scholastic Book Fair hate to see them comin’

this is the most northwestern football image I've ever seen

Let’s go, game on

Julian Nagelsmann, get ready to learn Hoffenheim, my friend.

Currently making a pot of coffee so I can stay up and watch the USMNT tonight. Am I cooked, chat?

WEIRD STATS AND LETDOWN LOOKAHEAD SANDWICHES 🐻 Chris "The Bear" Fallica joins us for a conversation about the numbers that matter, the portal chaos that makes preseason projections harder, and the schedule spots that turn college football into a weekly trap door. 👉 Listen/watch: buff.ly/Uk2LktJ

Ochoa

Nothing says grit and grind like Beef Stew.

The Mountain West will spiritually have more Pac 12 After Dark energy than the actual Pac 12 this season. Mullen and UNLV, Micah Alejado and Hawaii, Jason Eck and the Lobos and the Mean Machine that is NDSU. We will be there.

I did my best

Crying real tears in the club tonight

Cape Verde is spiritually a Sun Belt team

Cape Verde in a win and in situation vs. Saudi Arabia next Friday All that sportswashing, no one on this planet outside of that country is rooting against Cape Verde

Other smaller teams at the WC: "Stay compact, try not to concede, maybe nick a goal from a corner" Cabo Verde:

Insane clearance from Alvarez

What a wholesome moment

The Joe Moorhead offense would go crazy in there

“Colombia vs Uzbekistan at 10 pm Eastern” is the spiritual successor of a USC - Oregon State PAC-12 game from like 2013

Caleb Yirenky is a good player. Will be playing in a big league soon.

Spiritually SEC

Ronaldo is so washed unc, Portugal should play him at all-time QB

Zidane was too good of a father. His son is not motivated by hate in the proper way.

Guys will see this and say "hell yeah!" I am guys

We gotta cherish this, man. Messi is built different.

ROCK CHALK ALGERIA

If you don't laugh, you'll cry that France can sleepwalk for a half, punish you and then bring on Barcola and Cherki as subs. The game is rigged.

Michael Olise is France's best player. Argue with a wall.

Every premier league team who let Bayern have Olise belongs in jail

Mbappe might be a headache, but gah dang is he good.

Edouard Mendy = great shot-stopper

TEETERING ON THE EDGE 🫣 Florida, ASU, Kentucky, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, TCU and Wisconsin all feel like they could land on either side of 6-6. Which teams are headed up, and which ones are we selling? 👉 Listen/watch: buff.ly/oUMjRGV

Cal kept JKS. That was the hard part. Now Tosh Lupoi has to protect him, upgrade the pieces around him, and see if the Bears can become a real player in a crowded ACC. Read @tylerschustercfb.bsky.social's full newsletter on the job ahead for Lupoi and Cal: buff.ly/Z7JrqYi

May it please the court: Texas Tech QB TJ Finley

Texas Tech doing all that for nothing was an all-time misplay but an underrated part of the story is Ken Paxton also wasting political capital ostensibly on the behalf of a donor of his who wasn't even ready for the fight

Texas Tech will be fine without Sorsby. Hammond was solid before the injury. At this point, Hammond is much more of a runner than a refined passer, but I'm betting the Red Raiders will find ways to pave over that inefficiency. #CFBsky

And there it is...Sorsby is declaring for the NFL Supplemental Draft. #CFBsky

*whispers* I really like what Cal did in the transfer portal this offseason. Surrounding JKS with guys like: - UW RB Adam Mohammed - Rutgers WR Ian Strong - Ohio WR Chase Hendricks Three guys who *do stuff* and will platform JKS' abilities. More of that, please.

We used to be so young.

bring me the Spanish national team version of TexAgs
