Yeah, to be fair people said the same stuff about Barry Sanders back in the day.

He would "dance around" and take losses then bust one for 80. It's just different than the way we were/still are used to seeing a dominant running back affect the game.

He's a home run threat every time he touches the ball.

Yeah he made me look like a real asshole last year. I always argued with my friends that he wasn't reliable because he's always trying to hit an 80 yarder when the situation only calls for like 5. The problem was he would hit those 80 yard runs almost weekly. I guess this is the football version of "live by the 3, die by the 3".

He's still a fucking stud, though. My initial analysis might have been slightly clouded by where he went to school just a little bit.

shouldn’t have JMU or Tulane either.

Ridiculous they’re in and Texas isn’t for example.

Force equity and this is what you’ll get. You’ll have teams that are superior on the sideline at the benefit of some half rate teams: Would Ole Miss prefer Tulane or Texas? Yeah we know that answer

For sure, they’re tied by $. But if it was purely a $ decision, Miami gets left out.
Personally, I was very surprised by the decision.

When I was a kid in the 10970's my father worked as a contractor fixing up homes for realtors. The San Fernando valley was always a trip. His brother lived in Tarzana which was actually nice but the further inland you go it gets really seedy. There were sections of Ventura Blvd just over the hill from Hollywood that were nothing but porn theaters, peep shows and porn shops. To this day I can't believe that that existed. It was also when punk rock first hit the scene and you'd see the Mohawks and face piercing people. Strange days.

In my book he’s always been the 10 carries at 2 yds per and then a couple big gainers.

Defender closed pretty quickly and my thought was that Sayin was a little gun shy about interceptions. I didn't have a problem with him not throwing to Jackson, but I question why he didn't just run for the yard. He had two there, easy.

Notre Dame got fucked hard.

ESPN successfully made the conversation "Does Miami or Notre Dame make the playoff?", as if Alabama already belonged, well before they got royally but fucked by Georgia. There should have been no conversation at all whether Miami or ND should have made it in, they both should have been in there.

ESPN campaigned all week against Notre Dame to get the committee to fuck them over in favor of Alabama. It was always about Bama making it in. The more horses the SEC has in the race, the more likely the SEC wins it all.

Fuck the SEC, fuck ESPN and I'm shocked so many fell for it. Notre Dame recognizd this and thought "Why the hell should we play in a bowl game where our fans will tune in and give ESPN mega ratings when they just fucked us over?" and are refusing to be cucked by Disney. And now ESPN is leading the charge that programs should be forced to play in a post-season exhibition game or be fined by the NCAA to try to force teams to do whatever they demand. Fuck them

The committee unfortunately played right into ESPN/SECs hands. I can't believe more of you don't see this for what it is.

Make no mistake...the committee, and ESPN especially, are loving all of this. It's like the title of Eric Bischoff's book says "Controversy Creates Cash". They like years when someone gets fucked hard...like Florida State. And Notre Dame this year if you like. If all the teams lined up in a neat little row, who's going to watch the hours, days, and weeks of coverage leading into the playoff games? During the boring-assed game where James Madison gets beat 62-9, what are they going to talk about during the game? Their favorite color? No, the halftime show will begin with "We would be remiss if we didn't ask...how would Notre Dame fared against Oregon instead?" and the entire second half will be dedicated to that. Even ESPN execs know that no one beyond hardcore gamblers and about 674 alumni are going to watch the Trojan Condom Slid Over a Sylvania Light Bulb Rammed Up Your Ass Preparation H Bowl between a 6-6 team in the Mountain West and a 5-7 team from the Sun Belt. So how do they get clicks, eyes, and ad revenue? There has to be a prominent team fucked hard. There has to be heels. And Faces. And officiating controversy. It really is WWE-style entertainment, complete with bronzer assclowns who go on TV and say exactly what they're told to.

Statistically, the game was equal. Don’t know how anyone can say we outplayed them. Result hinged on results in the opponents territory - they did slightly better than us.
