2025 Cotton Bowl: #2 tOSU vs #10 Miami-FL, Wed 12/31 7:30 ET at JerryWorld

1965 Michigan State, mean Joe Green, Mike Webster,. I think the Bucks had something like 120 yards of offense for the game. Florida State sometime in 90s. It’s happened. Feel bad for Reese, Styles, Innis -especially Innis, who Sayin never seemed to go to. Ah well. Next year.

You’re thinking of Bubba Smith and, I don’t know who else. Joe Greene and Mike Webster didn’t go to MSU (and weren’t in college in 1965).
1965 Sparty had Bubba Smith and George Webster as defensive game-wreckers,

WR Coach Cortez Hankton (Official Thread)

Hartline is a generational talent when it comes to developing wide receivers, just like you hear select coaches being “QB whispers.” Likely no one we will ever get again will match his development talent, and that’s okay. He was a good recruiter, but I would say that’s largely in part from developing guys and high schoolers being interested without much of any coaxing.

That said, I would say this is a home run hire for on-field production beyond developing a skill group.

Re: Cortez Hankton is an upgrade over Brian Hartline.

Just sayin': A likely home run hire YES; but, even though I seriously hope he is, I doubt that he is an upgrade over Hartline.

Side thought, thinking back. Did they know our script? Not saying they cheated or anything, but Day admitted that we had a script for the first few series. When did the offense look it's worst? The first few series. When did the DB jump our play for a pick 6? etc. Once we got to the 2 minute drill at the end, and the 2 TD drives in the 2nd half, we were off script. So, is Day's script obvious?

I’d argue that had more to do with the script being the first plays they ran after the break.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

The long layoff further bastardizes every natty in college football history, one could argue.

At least before both teams had the same playoff. It is an "excuse" but playing 10 days earlier and riding the high from that win definitely puts the non BYE team in a better situation than the BYE team who's been sitting waiting to play for a month

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

yep, I knew keeping us at 2 was probably the worst outcome. 3 would have us playing Ole Miss with their interim coach, and didn't expect to go to 4 to set up back to back B1G matchups, potentially.
The committee wanted a Miami-OSU rematch to maximize interest. Would have enabled that regardless of OSU's seed.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

All other football divisions play the following week after the conclusion of the regular season. D1 needs to do the same. It’s stupid to have long layoffs. Hell, look how rusty NFL players get when they don’t play the last couple games before the playoffs(once they win their division). I hope to hell Indiana beats Bama. I sure as hell don’t want an all SEC championship game. I’m not sold on Oregon. As shitty as we played at times last night, we kill tech by 28. Almost wish the committee would’ve dropped us to 4th when we lost to Indiana. Miami doesn’t look like the 10th best team. More like 5th or 6th (even though they beat us).
