Okay who the fuck wants to watch JMU against Oregon? Like fucking why? What the fuck is that shit? You could have had ratings off putting ND in there and I’d absolutely watch it. But no, let’s televise a 57-5 ordeal and give Oregon a bye for losing to the only good team they played all season.

Yeah k

or cut the field down A LOT.
7 teams at most deserve to be in this year.



give Indiana the lowest remaining seed after round 1.
other two round 1 winners play each other.

want to get in the field?
don’t fucking lose multiple games then whine about it.

Can they bring in Dabol as a consultant?

If Day sends the kicker out for anything besides a PAT in the playoffs you'll have to seriously start doubting his decision making

If it’s more than 4th and 5 or so you still have to try and kick it.

They’ll always be in the toilet bowl known as South Bend

the more we expand, the more we push where the controversy line is.

And expand the scope of controversy.

There are always more 2-3 loss teams than undefeated or 1 loss teams, so the more you expand, the more teams will whine

FSU was the main whiner in 2023. UGA had a case that year but they accepted their defeat in the CG (which used to mean something regarding playoff implications).

2025, we have ND, Vandy, Texas, BYU, and probably others I can’t even think of off the top of my head.

So they aren’t in a Bowl at all now?

They are trying to swing their “weight around” when that left with the playoff.

Enjoy South Bend this January 1st you grifters.

I am 1000% sure he does not

Take ball and go home.

Brought this up last week relative to getting State money to build a new stadium. Inept ownership and management for years now.

Didn’t we show a Redzone package earlier in the year that had Kleinholz running plays and even throwing out of it? I feel like that package has a better chance of picking up 1 yard on 2 tries…..twice in the same quarter.

I think he kindof is. He doesn't really make guys miss and fall forward.

Have you been watching the same guy that I've been watching? He makes plenty of guys miss, and he nearly always falls forward. The only thing he's lacking is breakaway speed.

Lose the last game, sweep the playoffs. I can live with that.

JFC. Browns just lost again--at home--and this time to a team that was 1-10...despite outgaining them by 120 yards, having almost twice as many first downs, and outgaining them by almost two yards per play.

No Julian was slow on the handoff.

We might not be talking about the same play. Julian took the snap and immediately went forward towards the line. In any event it was quick developing and not what we see a lot of with slow developing deep handoffs.

If it wasn't the Bucks being in the game and coming up just short, it would have been a great game to just watch and enjoy.

The guy sitting next to me was an impartial observer. He was marveling at IU's defense. He said it was like they were getting Ohio State's offensive calls because they were filling the passing lanes so fast.

For whatever that's worth.

He's dead to me

I love Hart but I don’t know how you can call plays the rest of year the more I think about it. Every day/hour away is a day/hour less at practices, in the film room, instructing players, coaching the WRs and installing plays/playcalls.

Click to expand...

I’m not sure how plausible it is to replace the OC in this timeframe, but Hartline is not going to be able to focus on both and that’s not good.

Letting them into the BTHC still grinds my fucking gears. Did some dumb fucks at the league office think that helping them in any way could possibly lead to some form of goodwill on their part?

Agree totally. They are convinced Knute Rockne is still relevant and that they are special above all special. The B1G should cut them loose in Hockey. There is no real advantage for the B1G.

Indiana crashed the right side of the offensive line, which has been an issue most of the year (but stood firm against the Weasels). The secondary also covered Buckeye WRs pretty well most of the time. Sayin was not ready to adapt to the speed needed to go through progressions. All of those problems seem to arise from the offense just not being ready for that game. I think the game just came too quickly after TCUN and without a concrete plan to handle Hartline's developments. They've got some time to sort that out now, but they need to get on top of it quickly.

Are the INts spooking him? The hesitation is either defense coverage was very good or he’s thinking about INTs. Weather obviously wasn’t a factor

Would like to understand why ND gets special treatment. Is there something written into the TV rights?
