By correcting grammer mistakes by other posters? You cost the Gridiron more than you earn it. You're not here to discuss football, you're just here to be a "dick." You're going bye bye (ignored) after this post. I HIGHLY reccomend that other posters follow suit.

Let the big boys duke it out. Thought you were at CNN applying for a job?

I'm not much of an NFL guy, but shouldn't Tomlin have more than one Super Bowl considering the amount of talent he's had during his tenure? It's been said that his Super Bowl was a result of a team that was built by Cowher.

You quoted the first sentence of my post, go apply for a job at CNN.

If not already, you should take up politics. You only pasted a portion of my comment. Our conversation had nothing to do with your status as a member.

Not sure anyone could have said that any better. I gotta laugh everytime I hear that Parker Jones was one of the major reasons Georgia lost that game. Because they were guaranteed a touchdown against that Notre Dame defense, right? They WOULD have put the ball in the endzone, right? Parker Jones was 1/50 of the reason the Bulldogs lost that game. Most of it falls on the players who were out on the field........offense, defense, and special teams. If only Georgia didn't turn the ball over! I guess a defender putting his hemet on the ball and forcing a fumble just isn't good football, it's the other team making a "mistake." If they just wouldn't have given up that kickoff return for a touchdown! Special teams isn't part of the game, nope. For anyone who has forgotten. Football is defense, offense, and special teams. Notre Dame was better than Georgia two of the three, and that's why they won the game. For the record, if Notre Dame could take back some of the silly penalties they had, maybe they win that game by three touchdowns. Kinda goes both ways here.

How come everyone in the media continues to focus on what Georgia did wrong rather than what Notre Dame did right? SEC football is being normalized by the transfer portal, they might as well get used to it sooner than later. Now all schools have the ability to pay their players.

Interesting, I have no clue. I guess for what they get paid they should probably just wear what they're told.

On one hand, I agree. I like how people in general dressed prior to the 60's. Blue collar, white collar, didn't matter, people just dressed nice. You can't even go into a nice steak house anymore without someone sitting next to you wearing sweatshorts and a hoodie. But damn, McDaniel looks comfortable in that picture. If I'm a football coach on the sidelines for 3-4 hour game, I'm probably going the McDaniel, Belichick route. On second thought, maybe Freeman or Day. Freeman proves that you can look comfortable and smart at the same time.

Can't say I disagree. It just seemed like he was trying to be a model and a football player at the same time during football games. I'm happy for him that he chose the path most befitting to him.

Sam Hartman spent WAY too much time on his appearance for a football player. Kind of glad he was one and done.

Anyone who truely knew what was going on knew that LSU's ultimate agenda was to get both Kelly AND Freeman. Notre Dame knew they couldn't let that happen. They knew they were taking a risk by hiring a guy with no head coaching experience. But they also knew they couldn't lose Freeman to LSU. It's easy to throw a guy under the bus when he loses to Marshall in year one. Even eaiser when he loses to NIU in year two. There won't be any "fire Freeman" talk if ND loses to Purdue in year three. Freeman is young, he's going to get better, players love him, and there's not a program in the country who wouldn't want him to be their head coach.

And Oregon? I'm loving this. IU's looking pretty good.

Found some good ones in the ND thread. Unfortunately, couldn't find any good ones from you @temptation. Here's a few though: @Footballking16 on Notre Dame replacing Kelly with Freeman. I wonder which coach he'd go into battle with now. “Had the same concerns with Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame after trying to replace a top college football coach.” Sept 8, 2024 @Komets2727 C'mon man! This coaching staff is looking no less than brilliant. “For you domers out there, your head coaches recently couldn’t coach PeeWee football. Overmatched doesn’t begin to describe it. Lose at home to Marshall, Check. Lose at home to Stanford, Check. Lose at home to Northern Illinois, Check. There are just no words for the ineptitude in South Bend.” September 10, 2024 @Bobref How bout now? “Marcus Freeman is on thin ice with me.” Septemer 14, 2024

Doubtful, Freeman was on "thin ice" with Bob back in September.

I'm on board, but that's AFTER the game.

Anyone with a brain cell knew two weeks ago that IU's two losses came to two of the top five teams in the country. Quite frankly, it might be the BEST two teams in the country. I'm not right about a lot of things, but I was right about the FACT that IU's admission to the playoffs was justified. The Hoosiers manhandled everyone not named ND and OSU, although Michigan hung in there with them.

I can get on board with the first three. 1. No issues with that. We survived years without it. 2. One hundred percent yes. Season would just now be getting over. 3. No one could claim that, "you may have won, but we beat you guys 9 times out of 10." So yeah. Am I to presume there'll be one game Friday, one Saturday, and one Sunday? 4. I think we need refs Rodney. I support you for emperor, but we may need to come to a compromise on this one to earn my vote.

At least? "We're number two! We're number two! We're number two!" Good Lord.

Northern Indiana always seems to be divided into NE and NW. I've never heard anyone reference North Central. Penn does sit west of the line. Couple that with them regularly scheduling northwest teams in the regular season, most would categorize them ast NW.

It really reminds me of 2014. Ohio State looked vulnerable all season long...........until the playoffs.

OSU was underperforming, the Michigan game woke them up. Apparently the players like Coach Day. They're playing like they don't want to see him fired.

I guess Oregon wasn't deserving to be in the playoffs. I'd argue the best any team has looked in recent memory.

I was rooting for Texas for that very reason. I didn't want to see that kid go down like that. I was pretty neutral otherwise, maybe a slight lean toward Arizona State. It's early, but....................did Michigan awake a sleeping giant? Scratching my head as to why OSU didn't play their biggest rival with this kind of intensity, especially after losing several in a row.

I need 10 likes to move forward.
