Irishman

Wow Blue HATE seeing the BS at the end though.

I brought this up at the end of last season as a possibility between Ohio State and Michigan, that with their records last year, they could have easily played 3 times in a 12 team playoff in one season. well, here we are......although not the same 2 teams, Ohio State and Oregon very well could play 3 times this season. It will be very likely that they play twice. So NOW imagine this......Oregon beats Ohio State in the B1G Championship. They get through the playoffs and meet in the Championship. In a 3 game series, Ohio State would only have to win once against Oregon to win a title. While the 12 team playoff is intriguing, this scenario could piss off a LOT of people on all sides. SEC folks could see the same scenario between Texas and Georgia.

It was the first thing I thought of when I saw his name in your post.

One of my earliest memories of Irish football…..always loved getting home from school on Mondays and watching Lindsey’s edited version of each game on WHMB, the Lesea channel in Indy.

Helluva way to lose a game. Seems like the playoff setup could be problematic with the guaranteed spots. 3 ranked teams are going to lose in their conference championship. You also have teams like Tennessee, Penn State, and even IU who may benefit from NOT playing in a conference championship game. We are also likely going to see a 3 loss team get in. With the 3 that lose their conference championship, Alabama is in a good spot to find their way back in. If Georgia loses the SEC Championship, they likely stay in the playoff. Quite a mess

Here is my Cliff Clavin moment for the day. Last time the Bears had to replace a coach during the season was in 1942 when Papa Bear stepped down to enter the Navy in WWII and was ranked a Lt. Cmdr.

Classy move

In my Grover Dill voice "Who's next?" https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42679835/sources-bears-fire-eberflus-sixth-straight-loss

Solid offensive performance, but pass rush and pass coverage need work. Quay Walker is a liability when he has a zone to cover. He needs to be just a pass rusher. 3 division games out of the last 5. There is a lot on the line this last month or so.

Today may have been THE worst game I have seen. What an absolute dog shit effort. Just 3 points from the starting guards? On how many missed shots? Coach sums it up well.

Yep

Great stuff.

Week 12 Summary

It comes back after a while; at the latest, you will see it tomorrow.

8-3 on the season and still in 3rd place. I cannot remember this division being this solid from top to bottom. Solid team effort. I know it was a depleted roster for the 9ers, but what still stood out was the run defense.

Congrats to IU Men's Soccer

Sums up this past couple weeks or so pretty well.

Things that get lost in a disappointing game.

Solid defensive effort. The punt team killed them. I was hopeful they would have been more competitive. The final spread dims any hopes of making the playoff. and I forgot F**K ohio state

I cannot stand listening to Cowherd, but chuckled at this one. The argument could be made that Shedeur is not the best player on his Colorado team.

Fair points....but do you really want them (Portnoy) to be forking over multi million dollar deals to poach them?
