LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Western_Astronaut562]

How about defending AAC champions. How about 7 point underdogs at home. How about talented. How about loving and respectful. We lost to Army a week ago. 22-2 in conference before that.

[u/rmilhousnixon]

Just needed to put in the walk on QB, fourth string QB to lock down the season.

[u/hillbilly_bears]

Stokes played like I do when I get stupid and put CFB 26 on Heisman difficulty.

[u/sake101]

The cannon to shoot Will Hall into the sun is still well and loaded, however, RMFW

[u/neovenator250]

HOW ABOUT THE WAVE!!!!!

[u/Deathcubek9001]

Pump it up! You got to pump it up!

[u/UnnoticedReference]

Stokes looked lost there, might explain a few things during the game

[u/perpetually-askew]

ROLL MF WAVE 🌊🌊🌊 PROUD OF YOU!! 💚💙🤍

[u/XrayGuy08]

Hahahahahahahah. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. That certainly was fitting.

How the fuck do you sit there and wait until you’re getting hit to just throw it right to the defense? I mean, fuck. I might legitimately have been able to turn the ball over less tonight if I was playing QB for Memphis.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

6 turnovers plus 2 turnovers on downs for Memphis. 8 losses of possession is not how you win a game.

[u/Sir-Psycho-Sexy-69]

How is this guy a starting D1 QB

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

McDonald’s is hiring Stokes

[u/Peaches0k]

Stokes fucking destroyed my parlay

[u/deepayes → u/Peaches0k]

It's Friday lol

[u/Peaches0k → u/deepayes]

It was a same game

[u/Tornadohunter24]

That interception was the third straight middle finger this game from Tulane to Memphis in the past 2 mins lmao

[u/Gmatter41 → u/Tornadohunter24]

The end of the first half implosion needs to be studied. 18 points in under 4 minutes

[u/Tornadohunter24 → u/Gmatter41]

Stokes might be the least accurate QB I've ever seen

[u/Gmatter41]

Stokes about to pop champagne in Tulanes locker room

[u/Peaches0k]

Surely he gets benched for next game right??

[u/Remote-Sector-9227 → u/Peaches0k]

it’s painful, but you can’t overreact like that over one game. just can’t

[u/spacejambroni → u/Peaches0k]

Yeah it’s time to see what Air Nolands about for sure.

[u/JediMimeTrix]

Lmao another int like what

[u/No-Confusion47]

Knew it was coming lol

[u/ajmarion20]

brutal

[u/SleepyRedMoose1]

Are we good again or is Memphis bad?

[u/BakedSparkles → u/SleepyRedMoose1]

They had 6 turnovers man. It’s not even a question

[u/No_Employment_749 → u/SleepyRedMoose1]

Memphis was sloppy

[u/mycatwearsbowties → u/SleepyRedMoose1]

We’re lucky

[u/Geauxwave17 → u/SleepyRedMoose1]

Yes.

[u/hillbilly_bears]

Holy Christ. Bench stokes for the season after this.

[u/joelupi]

This guy fucking sucks. God.

[u/LengthyNoodle]

Called that shit. Stokes is one of the worst starting QBs in college football.

[u/wahoowalex]

The perfect ending to the imperfect game

[u/Competitive-Rise-789]

What a surprise

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

(laughs maniacally)

[u/Mythrandir24]

Most fitting ending.

[u/dualstrike19]

A fitting end

[u/Geauxwave17]

A fitting end.

[u/thank_burdell]

I’m not an expert but from this game it looks like Fritz left Tulane in pretty good shape.

Defensively in particular.

[u/BrennyIsHere → u/thank_burdell]

This is the worst season we've had since Fritz, Sumrall was amazing, Hall is still so.... eh, I don't think he's a good coach, but he won this one so who knows.

[u/Geauxwave17 → u/thank_burdell]

Fritz to Sumrall was probably the best back to back coaching hires in program history. That said, I don’t think any of these guys are Fritz’s boys at this point since Sumrall was here after him.

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

“Maybe questioned the hire.”

They were chanting to fire him in the first half. You can drop the maybe.

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Tulane and UTSA might be a trap game for the RoadRunners

[u/flyntcoaltrane → u/Particular-Way-3805]

At this point every game going forward is a trap game for us, looks like we control our destiny after tonight

[u/Particular-Way-3805 → u/flyntcoaltrane]

Don’t forget about unt and FAU

[u/originalusername4567]

Really stupid decision making even though Tulane should still gets the win

[u/originalusername4567]

The game is over if that one Tulane RB just takes a knee. Now not only has he given Memphis a chance to come back but one of his teammates on defense got severely injured.

[u/Hornstar19 → u/originalusername4567]

We just wanted one more chance to dunk on Memphis on defense.

[u/Im_Batmmaann]

45 wouldnt have got hurt if the RB had just taken a knee at the 1 instead of running it in smh

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Stokes throwing BBQ Ribs out there

[u/ARealMeanMongoose]

💚🌊

[u/Gmatter41]

Stokes put his NIL on Tulane tonight is all I’ve seen

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Oh now he wants to check down.

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup]

If these teams traded QBs tonight Memphis would have won by 28 points. Not that Trace Johnson played incredible but he was in control and didn’t shit the bed.

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

one more fumble for stokes just like old times

[u/Sir-Psycho-Sexy-69]

Fitting end. Hopefully never have to watch another Memphis game again. Was forced to tonight because the baseball game got rained out lol

[u/Victimless-Criminal]

I lost count of the number of times I've heard "nearly picked" during this game.

[u/AlaskaNanooks1]

Memphis is a really bad team

[u/Effective-Gas-8831 → u/AlaskaNanooks1]

Good team terrible qb

[u/worthy_education]

I understand taking the points but it would have been nice for Tulane to win with only points scored in the second quarter.

[u/Gmatter41]

Stokes is so bad. How is Memphis 5-1

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup → u/Gmatter41]

Coming in he had 1500 yards, 16 tds, and 3 INTs. He just doubled his INT total for the season.

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

Stokes might be ass, my dude

[u/MasterAndMargarita]

ROLL FUCKING WAVE!

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Had a chance to do the funniest thing there.

[u/Mythrandir24]

Will Hall is the superior former Southern Miss coach.

[u/JARsweepstakes → u/Mythrandir24]

Negative; if you’re being facetious, that would be one Ellis Johnson (launch him into the surface of the sun). If you’re being literal, that would be Bobby Collins

[u/Hulkodium]

Is this a rivalry game? It plays like one

[u/RecordingOpposite641 → u/Hulkodium]

Pretty much is. Similarish cities, very different fan bases, have played each other in conference pretty much yearly for a very long time

[u/FumilayoKuti → u/Hulkodium]

It is unofficially i think.

[u/LengthyNoodle]

Throw another INT for the lolz

[u/Gmatter41]

No one happier out there than Memphis coach and Stokes

[u/Flat_Employee_8520]

40 yards to a fullback. Tough way for playoff dreams to die.

[u/Hypsar]

That's what I'm talking about!! 🌊

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Wow Memphis I had yall winning this game

[u/Tornadohunter24]

Gotta say, the Riverboat Rivalry (I think that's the name some of the people have proposed for this, not official in any way though) delivers once again lmao

[u/Geauxwave17 → u/Tornadohunter24]

Damn, never heard Riverboat Rivalry before but that actually goes kinda hard.

[u/Tornadohunter24 → u/Geauxwave17]

It feels fitting for a game between colleges in the largest cities on the lower Mississippi

[u/Particular-Way-3805 → u/Tornadohunter24]

Good name or the Mississippi River showdown

[u/Tornadohunter24 → u/Particular-Way-3805]

That would work too.

[u/BakedSparkles]

Why are the replays in grayscale lmao

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

there we go Tulane and damn that receiver wanted the two feet inbounds for the NFL prospect tape(yes, he probably isn't an NFL prospect, but still, show that you can get both in)

[u/Hornstar19 → u/therealtoddmcshay]

He may be. Was a high 4 star LSU recruit out of high school. Has put some good tape out there this year with bad QB play.

[u/therealtoddmcshay → u/Hornstar19]

oh shit, really?

Damn, rooting for him to make it then. He had the presence of mind to put both in and knew where he was. Also, it was a great turn to catch it. Looked a lot like an NFL catch

[u/Gmatter41]

Tulane offense doesn’t get a first down until their last possession lol

[u/Mythrandir24]

Obvious DPI to boot

[u/deepayes]

We are laughing

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

Memphis just unplugged their controller at the end here

[u/Kimber80]

The gutsy call that Lane Kiffin was too chicken to make

[u/worthy_education]

Never in doubt

[u/13simba]

Lmao I mean they let them pick up 20 yards in 3 clock burning plays, deserving L

[u/sixdaysintheswamp]

FIRE WILL HALL!

but like said quietly and a lot less pitchforks

[u/Geauxwave17 → u/sixdaysintheswamp]

We still saying it, we just ain’t screaming it. For now.

[u/mchris185]

Hahahaha what a rivalry game. Almost makes up for Memphis ruining thanksgiving like 2 years ago

[u/joelupi]

I'm sorry. Fat Hall?

[u/LengthyNoodle]

And the 2 point conversion as an extra fuck you. Memphis, you are dog shit.

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup]

I love that they’re going for 2 bc if they get it my sicko brain sees a path to OT. Quick score > onside kick recovery > quick score > OT lets gooooo

[u/Victimless-Criminal]

O-lineman knew it immediately

[u/myballstank]

Memphis is bad and should feel bad

[u/GolgariInternetTroll → u/myballstank]

This is true every day

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Fuck you memphis chants wild 😂

[u/FumilayoKuti]

That fuck you memphis chat real loud.

[u/Gmatter41]

8 in Memphis is fucking duuuumb

[u/Tufoguy]

Wing T Belly to seal the game

[u/thinkB4WeSpeak]

Dang defense had one job.

[u/tombrady011235]

I think Tulane is going to win

[u/BrennyIsHere]

For the extra point before the timeout, Tulane had 5 people on the field, none of which were a kicker.

[u/BrennyIsHere → u/BrennyIsHere]

welp, still no kicker on the field.

[u/Im_Batmmaann]

drunk kids chanting fuck you memphis

[u/deepayes → u/Im_Batmmaann]

I am drunk kids

[u/kofimmra03]

Memphis rage baited me all night fuck this team

[u/Gmatter41]

“BAAAANG IT CASHED” - stokes

[u/jdprager]

LET’S GOOOOOOOO, FUCK RUNNING THE CLOCK OUT GIMME DAT BM TOUCHDOWN

[u/Tornadohunter24]

What a playcall, fuck yeah

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/Tornadohunter24]

It really wasn’t. He was stopped behind the line. Memphis just sucked ass at tackling.

[u/Tornadohunter24 → u/XrayGuy08]

I'm just happy when they successfully bait the defense on a QB sneak only to do a proper outside run.

[u/XrayGuy08 → u/Tornadohunter24]

It was a ballsy call and it worked out beautifully for them. Memphis didn’t deserve to win this game anyways. Good for Tulane.

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Game over

[u/tacobellmysterymeat]

Hmm I think Memphis might be in trouble here...

[u/GolgariInternetTroll]

HAHAHA YES

[u/The_Dreams]

Truly can’t win a football game blowing your dick off with a shotgun.

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

"Nuggets" is a stupid name for a sports team.

[u/-Gnostic28]

How do you fuck that up

[u/tortillaface08]

Haha the jersey rip was pretty cool

[u/hillbilly_bears]

God that was even worse than I expected.

[u/Im_Batmmaann]

shoulda gone down instead of taking the td

[u/deepayes]

GameCube nintendo

[u/United_Energy_7503]

Damn Memphis lol

Great play call by Tulane there what a drive

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

I don’t know who are bigger losers, Tulane or Memphis fans

[u/Mythrandir24]

Ballgame if he goes down

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup]

That’ll do it folks.

[u/Remote-Sector-9227]

GOODNIGHT MEMPHIS

[u/jayxmor]

LMFAO HOW TF IS MEMPHIS 5-1

[u/tombrady011235 → u/jayxmor]

They got cocky this game. Should have taken the field goals

[u/sixdaysintheswamp]

THATS WHY YOU GO FOR IT

[u/swindler7]

Absolutely pathetic

[u/Pepi119]

Haha holy shit Memphis

[u/mchris185]

RMFW BABYYYYYYY

[u/andareev]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[u/Competitive-Rise-789]

GAME BLOUSES

[u/joelupi]

Ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah

[u/ChickenFnCoop]

That was siiiiick

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

THE DAGGER

[u/dualstrike19]

Let’s go!

[u/LengthyNoodle]

Stupid fucks

[u/Geauxwave17]

Peak. Fucking. Sicko.

[u/Competitive-Rise-789]

GO FOR IT

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup]

You’re 2-3 so you go for it. If you’re 5-1 you punt.

[u/hillbilly_bears]

Out of timeouts ✅ Memphis gets the ball back ◼️ Not enough luck ◼️

[u/deepayes]

Im having fun

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

lol, i dont hate going for it when the win is helping you out and that memphis QB is throwing poorly

But you gotta watch out for the memphis edge guys who have gotten their quickly the last couple times

[u/MrLeftwardSloping]

Better not punt here

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Hell no. Punt and make this bum-ass quarterback drive the length of the field.

[u/jdprager]

FUCK IT WE BALL, GO FOR IT!!!!!!

[u/nnosuckluckz]

memphis does not deserve this game at all, crazy bad performance

[u/Pepi119]

Whale a block on the outside to open that up

[u/sixdaysintheswamp]

GO FOR IT

[u/ChickenFnCoop]

Go for it

[u/mchris185]

Gotta go for it here

[u/Threebridges2]

EVERYBODY GET IN HERE

[u/-Gnostic28]

Memphis won’t be able to stop them if they go for it

[u/WagerWhizzer]

Memphis D Complete collapse when you have like 2nd and 18 with them having to run clock

[u/FumilayoKuti]

Go for it.

[u/jayxmor]

How ass is Memphis

[u/Mythrandir24]

GO FOR IT

[u/andareev]

Gotta go. Shut the door

[u/Competitive-Rise-789]

SEND IT

[u/dualstrike19]

Tulane should go for it. 4th and 1 put the game on your offense

[u/United_Energy_7503]

Go for it cowards

[u/Geauxwave17]

Fuck it. Go for it.

[u/jdprager]

lol “close to the sticks”. I mean yeah, technically true, he’s just close to the stick that represented the initial 1st and 10

Not a huge win

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

Don't think it was Bruno, but earlier on, the Tulane QB went to the outside again instead of running straight ahead

Cost them a few amount of yards both times, though last time they ended up getting the first down

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

You guys have Jaylin Lucas AND Destyn Hill??? Lots of former Noles out there for Tulane

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Did Memphis scout the running qb like at all?

[u/LilDewey99]

cannot comprehend huff’s timeout strategy here

[u/Gryffindumble → u/LilDewey99]

Bold strategy Cotton!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

IF it actually happens, this is such a typical Memphis loss though. Doesn't matter who the coach is, they WILL find a way to lose to a team that's under .500 as the conference favorite.

[u/hillbilly_bears → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

You can always count on at least one awful Memphis loss per season that we shouldn’t lose.

[u/-Gnostic28 → u/hillbilly_bears]

You got an annual game that you pull out of your ass too? This could be it

[u/hillbilly_bears → u/-Gnostic28]

Honestly if we beat Boise that would have been it lol

[u/tacobellmysterymeat]

Seriously that is crazy all the fumbles and interceptions in the 30 to 40 yard line.

[u/Tornadohunter24]

The fact that Memphis still has a chance to take this makes me think Tulane's OC was replaced by my playcalls on the 2-min drill NFL game

[u/United_Energy_7503]

Couldn’t even begin to guess how the next two minutes go

[u/jdprager]

Game is tied pending XP if Daniels doesn’t get lucky enough for that fumble to bounce right back to him

We’re not even really trying to win, just going for maximum sickos drama

[u/Geauxwave17 → u/jdprager]

Peak Hall Ball tbh

[u/WagerWhizzer]

Now Tulane just gonna run it for 3 twice and punt with like 1:30 left

[u/-Gnostic28]

Dammit, so close to a turnover

[u/Geauxwave17]

I swear to god, this fuckass game…

[u/Wtmcl]

Barely avoided disaster

[u/Arkehn]

Almost a disaster

[u/somethingoriginal17]

Shit Tulane might take this one  

[u/mchris185 → u/somethingoriginal17]

We still have plenty of time for something to go catastrophically wrong

[u/LengthyNoodle]

Welp that’s game I think

[u/Nicholas1227 → u/LengthyNoodle]

Memphis can get it with 1:40-ish to go

[u/United_Energy_7503]

Great throw

[u/mchris185]

MMAHAT BABY!!!

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Wait so you called timeout after first down but not second?
