Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Too many posts to link, but their boards are in complete meltdown, They want the AD shitcanned, arguing with each other about whether they should just hire Terry Smith ( because he wore a "Joe 409" pin during one game). and now many think they are going to hire Brian Hartline away from OSU in the middle of preparing for a conference championship game and a playoff run. Glorious reading over there!

This whole Hartline to PSU saga is something that may have had legs a month or so ago. It appeared that PSU was in control of of their future and their AD was dialed in.

The longer this shit has played out, the more exposed these frauds have become. I know Day has to be advising Hartline to stay away from this mess and I’m sure Brian feels the same way.

PSU fans REALLY think that he wants to gamble his legacy on a gig with the entire program burning to the ground around it? Lol delusional ass fanbase.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

I dont believe the idea that you lost to a good team has any merit. The point is you lost. The overall number of losses matters, but who they happened to (i.e., quality of opponent) doesn't really make much difference IMO. A team has to stand on their merits, that's who you beat, not who you lost to.

When losses happen definitely matters IMO. And that's exactly why Miami is behind ND. You can't lose to unranked teams later in the season and expect not to get dinged for it. I'm not on the "good loss" bs train but BAD losses definitely should have a big effect. Louisville and SMU are very very mediocre football teams.

I don't think ND or Miami win more than the opening round game if even that if they get in so in the grand scheme this argument probably doesn't matter much.

Ryan Day Says Ohio State’s Fourth-Down Touchdown Play Call is One It Had Saved For Key Moment

160093_h.jpg


One of the biggest turning points of The Game on Saturday was Ohio State's 35-yard touchdown strike on 4th-and-5 when it trailed 6-3 in the first half.

The slant-and-go route run by Smith put his defender on skates and Ohio State in the lead after Michigan had taken early momentum on a field-goal drive and an interception that led to another field goal. Julian Sayin put the ball in a perfect spot.

On his weekly Buckeye Roundtable appearance with 97.1 the Fan, Day dove into his decision to go for it in that spot and shared some extra insight on the play call. It was one that Ohio State was keeping in its back pocket for a critical late-game moment, but Day felt then was the time to strike. It's hard to argue with the decision after a 27-9 Buckeye win to end their curse in The Game.

Day also discussed his offensive line's performance and did some more previewing of the Big Ten Championship Game vs. Indiana during the segment.
  • On the decision to go for it on 4th-and-5: "It was a play that I felt like we were gonna use later in the game in a spot like that, but we didn’t start the way we wanted to. ... I made my mind up that we were going to go for it on third down. ... We got the coverage that we expected. The corner was sitting at the sticks at five yards and Jeremiah ran a great route."

Just sayin': I thought Hartline was supposed to be calling the plays.....:confused:
Just sayin' - Hartline does call the plays.

Expecting Day or any head coach to NOT have input is really naive. This is how most teams operate.

Miami also has lost to 2 unranked teams since mid October. I kind of agree with h2h not being the end all when the h2h occured so early

They just pulled the plug on OSU's comms. Malicious cheating, plain and simple. Their Harbaughitis infection continues to grow and further corrupt the program.

Week 15/CCG Game Discussion Thread

The back-to-back factor. If Ryan Day finishes this season 16-0 he won’t be getting much grief from reasonable folks.

The all-time Back-to-Back club is fairly exclusive in the AP poll era (1936 on):

Bernie Bierman, Minnesota
Red Blaik, Army
Bear Bryant (twice at Bama)
Pete Carroll, USC
Bob Devaney, Nebraska
Frank Leahy, ND
Tom Osborne, Nebraska
Darrell Royal, Texas
Nick Saban, Bama
Kirby Smart, UGA
Barry Switzer (including 1974 while on probation at Oklahoma)
Bud Wilkinson, Oklahoma
I knew you would know this without looking it up since you were in your 40s during Bierman's run.

Miami actually just beat Pitt by more than ND did, and I think it was even admitted by Pitt they were focusing on their ACC games (and not ND) because they were trying to win the conference knowing it was their only shot at the playoff. Nothing ND has done is worthy of being ranked ahead of Miami.

Miami also has lost to 2 unranked teams since mid October. I kind of agree with h2h not being the end all when the h2h occured so early

If the Head coach can't decide what to do on 4th down in The Game, then I dont know what he's supposed to be able to do. The buck stops with DAY period. And he destroyed those assholes even without coms.
