My money is on Peanuthead choking this one away with poor clock management.

Haha - I didn't really care who wins this game, but now I hope Oregon wins.
Or maybe I should room for Penn State.

Was it on here that someone mentioned they run routes differently because Murray improvises so much? Like at half speed midway through the route?

Otherwise I don’t understand the hate for Murray. 4.9 yards per pass attempt is pretty explosive. Pretty sure one of these games, his RB will get less than a yard a catch. 5 for 3 or something fun.

Murray also doesn't watch film so opposing teams cannot trick him with their tendencies.

I couldn't think of another thread for this atrocity, even though it's football related: https://www.9news.com/article/news/...9-2535-4cb4-9701-117d32c7823e?ref=exit-recirc

The behavior is terrible, and inexcusable.
You know what else is inexcusable? And belongs in a thread about pet peeves? When a school can't get "lay" and "lie" right.

You can read the full letter to parents from Lakeshore Public Schools here:
Dear Lakeshore students, staff and families,
At Lakeshore Public Schools, our number one priority is the safety and wellbeing of our students.
...
Following a play, a Kalamazoo Central student body slammed a Lakeshore student who was laying on the ground. This incident was an intentional, unprovoked and flagrant violation of the rules and appropriate sports conduct and resulted in an injury to one of our Lakeshore student athletes.
...
Greg Eding
Lakeshore Public Schools superintendent

You're a superintendent. Be better.

But, more important than "lay" and "lie", if I were the judge, I'd need some strong to convince me he doesn't belong in jail.

I've never seen any Elvis impersonators and Charlie Kirk in the same room at the same time....

just saying...

Isn't Penn State currently undergoing the stadium renovation ? I thought I heard they where taking down the west side of the stadium. I wonder how that will effect their "White Out" ....

That may be true, but I’m not seeing any reason for optimism with the first three pairings getting smoked and the last in the process of choking away a 3UP lead.

1-3 seems a lot more surmountable than 0-4. MacIntyre didn't do Hovland many favors down the stretch.

Shame that Herbstreit won't be broadcasting the game. I'd pay to arrange a Herbstreit interview cage match with Mike Brewster.

FIFY

I just put a 3 spot on the Buckeyes moneyline which is massive for me. I have a ton of confidence obviously in winning this game and I can't see how the betting line doesn't move accordingly as we get closer to gametime.

There's a long history of major variances by morning/afternoon and between days in the Ryder Cup. It's insanely early to predict anything.

Here's to hoping the Ducks roll into the erector set and give the pedsters a white out reminiscent of one given by Peter North.

I'm ashamed to know what this means.

I confess that I do enjoy seeing other B1G teams beat the SEC! SEC! teams.

Both of these are true, for me. I don't know how. I can't explain it.
Until about 2014, I typically would root for Big Ten in neutral games. Except the cheaters - I didn't root for them. But that ended around 2014, when we'd get reports that the Big Ten was richer than other conferences. "So these Big Ten teams have more money than SEC teams, and they aren't spending it on the football teams?" I figured that Ohio State was the only one pulling their weight in the conference. So eff the other teams. At that time, I felt Ohio State and Sparty were the only ones playing above their level. And maybe I should have given credit to Wisconsin, at that time. But Illinois, Penn State, *ichigan, Nebraska.... they were all shitting in their bed. So eff them.
Today, it's still sorta true. Penn State has improved. Sparty has fallen back to where Sparty should be. *ichigan cheated their way to some success. Indiana is now WAY above their level. But Nebraska, Wisconsin - they're still shitting the bed. USC, UCLA - what are you doing? Time will tell if Illinois is as good as we thought they might be. Time will tell if the Big Ten can use their "richest conference" title to any good.

But yeah, I'll root for most Big Ten teams over most SEC teams.

Thats some uber-shitty pad levels and a total horseshit fill by the middle libebacker.

So... *ichigan got caught cheating, paid $30M or something, and decided it's cheaper to just bribe the other team?
Or is Nebraska just not good?

West (by god) Virginia for me.

the most epic and beautiful "Fuck You" in the history of sports
taking a knee with 5:00 to go in the game and just giving the ball back is even more disrespectful than faking a punt when up by 50.
