In all seriousness, given reports of how small CU’s players are and their finesse nature over the last few years, their physicality in the running game and overall OL play was a pleasant surprise.

It’s almost like the internet just made some shit up and people bought it.

Sheeeeiiit, if he ends up half as good as his old man he’d be a good, starting caliber college QB.

If he’s a better passer and even close to the same kind of athlete…..it’s four hours right?

Ok I didn’t know this. On a drive to Ohio from Minnesota I booked a hotel there. The hotel had bars on the windows. We arrived at night so couldn’t really tell what was going on. I inherently felt I’d put my family in danger so I slept near the door. Well the next morning on the drive out my wife was like “where the hell are we this is terrible”.

Welcome to Gary Indiana hun!

UMass shocks Rutgers: By the numbers as Minutemen snap nation's longest losing streak to FBS opponents​

The Minutemen went 0-12 last season and entered the game as 29.5-point underdogs​

Just three hours into Week 1, college football provided one of the most shocking results of the weekend -- and maybe the entire season. After going 0-12 last season, UMass went on the road and hammered Rutgers in a 37-21 win on Thursday.

Even though Rutgers isn't a top 25 powerhouse, this was still a highly improbable outcome. The Scarlet Knights entered the game as 29.5-point favorites, and history suggested that they should have been a lock to win this game. Here are some of the most mind-blowing stats from this miraculous Minutemen win.

• Entering the game, FBS teams favored by 29-plus points were 213-0 since 2024.
• Rutgers' 16-point loss was the fifth-largest by a favorite of 25-plus points since 2000.
• This was UMass' first win over a Power Four team since moving to the FBS in 2012.
• This was the first time UMass defeated a power conference opponent since 1978.
• The Minutemen came into the game 0-9 all-time against Big Ten opponents.
• UMass failed to score more than 26 points last season and averaged 11.1 points per game.

Do I understand this correctly that a judge in Baton Rouge made this ruling?

Judge William Jorden approved a preliminary injunction that prohibits the NCAA and SEC from punishing any school that signs and plays the 42 athletes who sued the NCAA in Louisiana state court to play a fifth and final season of college sports. Judge William "Will" Jorden sits at the 19th Judicial Courthouse located at 300 North Boulevard, Baton Rouge, LA 70802.

Just sayin': It's 4.4 miles from the LSU campus, That's what you call a real "home field advantage"......

When my middle child was accepted to Rutgers, all my Ohio friends were gaga that she was going to an Ivy League school
Amusing the number of Manhattan execs are Rutgers grads

When she was there they were the studs of the Big East
When I'd go to a few games, Buckeye football scores were always on their scoreboard flashes and announcements
I was also amused how many kids wore OSU gear on campus.. 2nd only to Rutgers.. that has changed
She was mortified when they entered B1G... "oh shit, we're going to play Ohio State.. WTF"

I don’t know if Rutgers has ever been the studs of anything in football. We’re talking about a team that went 1-5 against Cincinnati in Big East conference play from 2005 to 2010.

I hope it is his strongest play.

Exactly

GT has certainly taken a step back but Colorado did their thing and played with toughness. Hats off to them.

They actually were vastly more physical than GT. Not what I was expecting.

Got to give the devil his due.

That was an entertaining game and they looked stout on defense and running the ball.

Probably still missing a bowl game but they were not as big of a shit show as I thought the would be

In all seriousness, given reports of how small CU’s players are and their finesse nature over the last few years, their physicality in the running game and overall OL play was a pleasant surprise.

Top 10 matchup! I hope we see them meet again in the playoffs.

This game is drunk

Ball State is gonna be their position after we tea bag them. 42-3. Day won't ram them into their throat. Save something for Austin.

Nobody is arguing that.

so I'm at the point now where "ok, if this is actually condoned and within the rules, then we may as well do it too."

So you don't really hate it. All it takes is your team doing it, and then magically you're fine with it.

Nutriaitch said:

LSU is the fucking anti-christ while other teams doing the exact same thing are ignored.

No team was ignored.

Nutriaitch said:

but tOSU was used as the "example" and y'all got slammed for it.

that was bullshit.
you know it, I know it.


same here.

Click to expand...

Not same here. At the time, Tressel was Jesus. He reversed the Michigan curse, and he ended a 34 year NC drought. And we STILL ran his ass out of town. And everybody understood why. We accepted that he lied and got caught. So.....not exactly the same approach you're taking.

Nutriaitch said:

so honestly, I don't even know if the relationship between LSU and the SEC can even be repaired at this point.
so now, my school may be out of a conference over doing the exact same shit that the exact same conference has said was cool to do before we did it.

Click to expand...

Yeah......they're totally gonna kick LSU out of the SEC over this. Or LSU will up and leave. Definitely a legitimate possibility here in the real world.

I see donald trump has designed both Colorado and Georgia tech’s units.

I don't know, if this were an SEC match up, we'd be talking about 2 contenders in a hard fought battle.
