I think you are right.

This has to be some kind of omen for the Flyers....like the black cat was for the Cubs in '69. 🤣

Cost to the U $8 million to buy out Manny Diaz $9 million to buy out Mario Cristobal at Oregon $8 million for Cristobal’s salary Had Cristobal won a National Championship or two, mayyyyybeeeee. Miami is taking on the win now or go bust mindset apparently. I am not sure that college athletics can sustain this; throw in the NIL money players will be getting as well.

Looks like some interesting games......on paper any way.

I would say in that crowd Hutchinson. That may be the d line coach in me, but man is he a game changer

Dave Kaplan at his best.

this never gets old lol

lol

Best of luck to the young man.

The rule has been waived for a handful of basketball games over the years. I get the issue with the rule, but there are inconsistencies in it. Angola HS could play a game in Northern Alabama, but a team in Evansville would only be able to go the same distance in that direction. I could see adjustments to it. About 15 years ago, Cathedral was in the Herbstreit Classic at Nippert Stadium. There was a team from Mission Viejo, CA that was part of it as well. The people in charge wanted the two teams to play. Even though MV had traveled to Cincinnati, the rule still applied and Cathedral could not play them. Things like that I do not get. Maybe someday we will see changes, especially considering a team could potentially travel 300 miles and stay in State to play a game.

Crazy that A&M was ranked 5th.....otherwise, not too shabby if I must say. 🙂

So, no rule for this in the college game either, but Clawson is right. I do believe it is something that needs to be addressed. It is a huge advantage to QB's if they are able to do this. If a QB in one game does this a couple times, and their is a 3rd that gets to this point and a guy on defense hits him, and gets flagged for that.......just seems wrong. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32794482/wake-forest-coach-dave-clawson-says-ncaa-review-rules-fake-slides-following-td-pitt-qb-kenny-pickett

If the Michigan offense that beat OSU shows up, they have a good chance of beating Georgia. I do like Michigan's defense to limit Georgia's offense. In the other match up, the Cincy offense can move the ball on anyone, but the question is will they be able to stop or even slow down the Alabama offense. I was impressed with that offense and what they were able to do against what I thought had been a good defense in Georgia. The Way Bama played, I think they are better than the others.

The CFP is set

Ok officials; do you call something here? QB fakes a slide and goes in to score a TD. It does appear the defensive player held up because he saw a slide coming.

sooooooo. New year's Day 6, right? lol

So, if Bama puts up a couple more scores, does it knock Georgia out of the top 4?

That game was nuts. Everything changed from the point Baylor went for the 4th and 1 on their own 36. Up 21-6, play the field position game. Nice to see them hang on to win.

shhhhhhhh 🙂

well, to compare, Holmgren and McCarthy only have a street and no statue in Green Bay. I even think McCarthy's is a street inside the parking lot and stadium area. lol This does make me think of Steve Fisher at UM though.

Let's go Baylor 😁 opened a huge can in this first half.

Why, yes....indeed he does. 😁, well, ok, maybe just a street named after him. That'll do.

Quoting this to share again. The generalized comment by @DanteEstonia is exactly the kind of nonsense we will avoid here. It served no purpose in the conversation whatsoever. The guidelines were clear, as were the consequences. As far as Gonzo's comment, my first thought was that the pictures in the story showed other kids on the bus, and the fact that one other kid took the picture. I did not take his comment to mean that others did the black face thing. From hearing from others, I also do not believe that he implied the coaches or adults on the bus knew of it happening or allowed it. Every program has its share of knuckleheads. The hope for each of us is that our knuckleheads don't do something that ends up on social media. @Grover thank you for sharing the posts about the young men in the program. I have no doubt that Coach Moore and his staff do things the right way, and that this will be no exception in how they handle this teachable moment. What does get lost in the story is the response by Popeye Williams; a very classy response to a difficult thing to see. The stories about the CG players reaching out to him as well deserves to be mentioned as well; props to those young men.

I will be curious to see how people approach this going forward. Will there be some type of performance clause attached to contracts? I think of him and Rattler, who also had a deal, but hardly played this season.
