Trip to Indy would also be on the line (I think...not sure of the tiebreakers now) depending on how Oregon and USC close out since a tcun win would give them the head-to-head tiebreaker over Ohio State.

I'm not quite ready to go full pedster tinfoil 'speeracy nut quite yet, but I'm not willing to rule out the depth of desire that will be present to get tcun back into the playoffs and a 4th spot for the B1G.

It's been a real bad year in the TV ratings landscape for the B1G, the SEC has cleaned up meanwhile the B1G has lacked pretty much any worthy big time matchups in conference play. Id say they are probably desperate this year to eek a 4th team in and they'd absolutely screw Ohio State to accomplish it since Ohio State is in regardless.

Though scUM going to Indy and losing (likely) probably puts them out of the playoff anyway.

Rodgers would be a star at most schools. Hoping he gets his big break next year

I realize you live really close to the Mississippi border, but I figured you would know more about how things work in the state of Louisiana.

let me help you out.

is a politician involved? if so, ignore actual common sense and laws. just follow the corruption money

is a lawyer involved? if so, then ignore actual common sense and laws. just follow the corruption money

is an elected judge involved? if so, ignore actual common sense and laws. just follow the corruption money

is it happening somewhere within the borders of Louisiana? if so, ignore actual common sense and laws. just follow the corruption money

I just hope they put a spy on Lamaleava right from the get-go and not wait till halftime to make that adjustment.

He's 90% of their offense and I don't want to see him running wild around the field till we figure out something.

After halftime would still be more than a quarter earlier than when Penn St decided to put a spy on him.

Makes me wonder how all of a sudden punishments turned to money only.....

An investor in the first company I ever started had just retired as President of one of the largest steel companies in Ohio. He once told me, "your lawyer is not there to tell you what you can't do; your lawyer is there to tell you how to do what you want to do."

there is a reason Louisiana ranks dead last in every important statistical category in the country.

Ended up 20/42 and got a TD. Some of you might look at that statline with a cynical eye, but 9 is a leader. He’s taken the team, put them on his back, and heading spinning to the bottom of the division come hell or high water.

I happen to know the OL coach for UCLA. Andy Kwon. He's married to the daughter of good friends of ours. Tessa and Andy met at Alabama when they were both on staff. This was Andy's big break. I hope he lands in a good situation. Tessa just gave birth to their second child and first boy.
UCLA has zero chance in this game, so I hope for continued progress ahead of The Game and no injuries.

So if TCUN refuses to deal with this capital infusion thing...

And they get in a huff and leave the Big Ten....

Do they also get booted out of the CIC?

Interesting times ahead...

Oh yeah - FUCK TCUN

I think Ohio State opposes the private equity deal too. tcun just seems to be taking the public lead in the opposition. Not surprising since Slapshot lacks a spine.

Purdue RBs got 122 yards at 4.6 YPC on scUM. They ruined it though by bringing up the backup QB to run in short yardage (he failed to get the 1st every time of course)

NW RB Caleb Komolafe in his last 2 games 34 carries 243 yards 7.1 YPC.

The issue here is the B1G isn't going to allow scUM to lose even if NW rises to the occasion. They desperately need that "playoffs on the line" matchup between scUM and Ohio State with how lackluster the TV ratings have been this year due to the lack of big matchups. That and they aren't letting Northwestern ruin the possibility of another B1G playoff team

That edge could be Waffle. Here's hoping.

So, John Legend was just visiting the program, and we get this commitment yesterday. Coincidence?

Dear God, that man actually contributed useful and entertaining content to the CF universe. I guess the end of the world is at hand.

Good play. Although some of the passes getting through the seams I believe have a bit to do with his play. Needs to clean that up.
