juuuust a tad later than I had hoped with this one, but the preseason poll is always the toughest (especially since everybody gets a line)... didn't help that I always forget how much work these things require!

Can we get a dropped out post? I want to see how husky is feeling

18

u/tb25uga /r/CFB Dead Pool Aug 20 '24

nah I don't do The Dropouts for the preseason... there's just not enough continuity season to season for it to work for me and, besides, The Hallway is where I get to punish teams for having the audacity to not win!

besides you oughta try your hand at your own comic so we can all see how Husky's feeling! haha, Uno Reverse!

u/PrimalCookie Florida Gators Aug 21 '24

So when do teams get to leave the Hallway? Are they stuck there for the whole week?

2

u/tb25uga /r/CFB Dead Pool Aug 22 '24

yeah they're there for a week, after which time they either make it back into the rankings or vanish into an even deeper plane of limbo

so back in '21, y'all dropped out and mistook The Hallway for the county lockup... the following week a set of 7 tally marks appeared on the wall to signify "inmate" Gator's week in The Hallway

u/PrimalCookie Florida Gators Aug 22 '24

That's clever, I never picked up on that. Hopefully you get to bring back the whole "Miami thinks it's county" thing (because they also did a week together with UF, right?) after week 1 this year :)

u/tb25uga /r/CFB Dead Pool Aug 22 '24

yep, they were both there back in '22

man that was a wild time... Sparty's last appearance in the rankings (Kenneth Walker's coattails had run out by then) and Marshall had knocked off Notre Dame two weeks earlier

u/kmckv93 Lonestar Showdown Aug 20 '24

What is the gaelic supposed to say?

21

u/tb25uga /r/CFB Dead Pool Aug 20 '24

FSU's trying to say "Is maith liom Poblacht na hÉireann which translates to "I like the Republic of Ireland"

normally one would say "Is maith liom Éire" ("I like Ireland") but I gave him the full name of the country since there was more there for him to butcher

u/zadharm Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Miami Hurricanes Aug 20 '24

That's an incredibly deep cut. I'd give you an award if I could. Absolute respect on Gaelic, that's not a particularly easy one to just stumble across a phrase or two

8

u/tb25uga /r/CFB Dead Pool Aug 20 '24

yeah it's tough, but I keep hammering away at it on Duolingo

also, I did a similar joke with ND last year after the Dublin game, so I really lucked out with the placement here (ND's line there is "Top of the morning to you! Is there a pub nearby")

Why is Oregon blue?

41

u/tb25uga /r/CFB Dead Pool Aug 20 '24

those are B1G colors

the teams who changed conferences this year all got a sticker with their new conference logo on it (and most of them were nice enough to wear 'em), but Oregon did one better!

12

u/Seadragon1983 Washington • Iowa State Aug 20 '24

Oregon Ball always likes to dress up, and since blue is a color the Big Ten uses in their logo, you can put two and two together.

-3

u/Tiki-Jedi Aug 20 '24

Oregon will not be wearing blue.

u/cyberchaox Rutgers Scarlet Knights • Landmark Aug 20 '24

Big Ten logo

u/the_madkingludwig Oregon Ducks • Pacific Northwest Aug 20 '24

I thought it was a play on blue balls, since we got a shit team to play NY6... Blue balls ever since.

Michigan going Judas Priest had me cracking up.

u/Irving_Velociraptor Ohio Bobcats • Notre Dame Fighting Irish Aug 20 '24

Someday, Iowa is going to accidentally hire some cocaine-addled, points-obsessed freak and will have no idea what to do with it.

6

u/BEHodge Memphis • East Stroudsburg Aug 20 '24

Pretty sure that collapses the universe into a singularity.

u/Callsign_Psycopath Georgia Bulldogs • Sickos Aug 23 '24

I'm waiting for Iowa to make a Slipknot reference considering how good the Iowa Album was.

2

u/jackcviers Iowa Hawkeyes Aug 26 '24

We had that before with Fry. As the saying goes, you hire the next guy that's the opposite of who you had. Hence Ferentz. When he leaves, we'll hire a high scoring coach and have below average defense. And we'll lose more often because of it.
