2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

Glad I dont watch pregame shows anymore. I mean, whats the point? Last I saw, they were light on analysis, as an industry standard not just the fine folks at ESPiN. Heavy on hype, which im just not interested in. So... I could give a shit who the personnel is gonna be.

If I had my way, every game would be broadcast in the spider cam view they had during the play offs. And nothing but the stadium announcer calling down and distance. Color commentary? We'll, I guess that depends on your guests and ones willingness to engage jn conversation during a game, I spoze.
I haven't watched a second of Gameday or any of the other pregame shows since probably 2018 or 2019.

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

To your point, how do teams practice all year for one way and then have to adjust immediately for another set of rules come playoff time.

This reeks of somebody influential complaining loudly in the off season and my guess would be Steve Sarkesian, Hugh Freeze or Josh Heupel
The rare 2-and-a-half hour delayed echo.

Big Noon Kickoff is about to be unwatchable

So basically the Fox version of Desmond Howard

Or... the officials are used to certain rules, and come playoff time, they are used to those rules and need to remember that those rules are different in some Big Ten vs ACC game.
Ha - remember when Indiana got penalized for a late hit out of bounds, even though the Notre Dame quarterback hadn't yet gone out of bounds? I know I'm changing subjects, but that was stupid.

Can a conference change a National rule? My guess as to why is that offsides gets called for the slightest twitch and possibly kills too many drives. Fans want scoring. Unless it’s the wrong team scoring.

We weren't the only ones. USC and Minnesota off the top of my head. They literally could only do one thing....stop the interior run. And that's including on offense.

Exactly, the only thing scUM had going for them last year was the power to somehow make teams go full stupid on offense against them.

There's no almost. The entire game plan was totally inexplicable. We refused to attack their weakness and played into their one strength pretty much all day long. I will never not be bitter about that game. They were in Day's head, okay; but why didn't Chip, his supposed mentor, talk some fucking sense into him? Ugh.

Seeing what an unpopular and unprofessional trainwreck Desmond is, why on earth would they bring on their own version of him.
They're bringing him in to be their own version of McAfee, not Desmond.

The problem here though is that Portnoy is the worst versions of both of them.

And somehow they thought it would be a good idea to bring him on despite Columbus carrying their water.

Truly a baffling decision. What Ohio State fan is ever going to watch that show now? And I cannot even imagine the reception they're going to get each time they come to Columbus over the next 5 years. Urban is not going to be enough.
