*** College Football Game Day 12/31 *** - The playoffs begin

[Rangers9]

Good to see Bob Wischusin back in the booth.

Watchinh ND v OSU....Big XII Commercial with a bunch of people saying "Get. The. Shot." Comes on.

Totally Counterproductive.

I'm sitting on my couch, still recovering from whatever Covid variant ruined my week, vaxxed and antibodies, and my first reaction to ads like that is, "F*** you". ? 

Whoever is driving this type of stuff clearly doesn't understand human behavior. The holdouts have their reasons, good, bad, indifferent, and the harder you push, the firmer their stance will get.

Well the people that refuse by now will always refuse, there still may be people on the fence thus the reason for it.   Its not going to make people more adverse.

And with that this thread will soon be locked and all the fine college football talk will be dumped.

My guy Sam LaPorta has 4 for 62 even as the Iowa offense struggles. Perfect complement to Zach Wilson’s whatevering at QB

5/98 and a TD. Someone is gonna steal this guy in the draft.

[IndianaJet]

Our future center is down with what appears to be a leg injury. ?

[New York Mick]

Notre Dame‘s implosion is in full effect.

Adjustments by Oklahoma. They also are desperately missing Hamilton on the back end and Williams’ rushing ability

Yup but it’s also what I expect from ND at this point.

Kelly quits for LSU, rookie DC promoted to HC, new DC calling plays and best defensive player missing. I didn’t have high expectations facing a good Cowboys team

[Green Ghost]

Just checked in to see what the guys who were saying last night that Norte Dame belonged in the playoffs over Cincinnati think about this second half?

I looked, but I can’t find them…

The way they played the first quarter they looked like it lol

That they did.

[heymangold]

Not sure if it’s been discussed or not, but I can’t stand Dan Orlovsky.  He is just so annoying, especially calling this game. 

[Green Ghost]

The Cowboys are doing everything they can to give this game to the Irish in this 4th quarter.
They’ve been within 10 yards of the end zone on 3 possessions and have a field goal to show for it.

[Green Ghost]

Alabama would’ve feasted on Norte Dame. I’m thinking like 56-14 feasting.

[ryu79]

Well - this kid seems to have some gumption...

That goes for every program. They’d beat a dozen NFL Teams. Top level talent from across the country

[sec101row23]

Odd decision by Freeman in his first game to go for it on 4th down at his own 10 yard line down 6 with 3 timeouts and 2:45 remaining.  He essentially gave OSU the game on that play.

They’re not beating any NFL team, not even the Jets, but at the college level? Yeah, I’m surprised whenever they don’t win by 4 TDs

I was tweaking the guys who were complaining last night that Norte Dame belonged in the playoff against Bama instead of Cincinnati. 

[Green Ghost]

Is Utah good enough to give Ohio St. a game?

[BigRy56]

Very much looking forward to watching Devin Lloyd play football today

It's like they melded Will Cain and the worst QB in the world into one infernal creation.

Orlovsky at his finest, he was Geno before Geno was Geno.

I disagree. I think Jets, Jags, Giants and Panthers lose to Alabama. Texans playing better

[BurntDice]

Welp there goes my hopes of getting wandale Robinson in the 4th. Dude balled the f out today

And what’s with the old red and white uniforms?

Remember the grey ones they wore a few weeks ago in their conference championship game? Those were great.

You and I were loving the helmets.

I still think the Jets were stupid in not going to a metallic/chrome helmet and adding gray instead of black to the uniform set. 

 

Green and Black is...? and the new Helmets look like Christmas Ornaments with a childish logo 

[Beerfish]

14-0 Utes!

[Green Ghost]

The first thing I’ve learned watching Utah today is they have a lot of hot blonde smoke shows prancing around in red skirts.

The second is, yeah, their football team can play with Ohio St.

[Ruby2]

That James Franklin 10 year deal is going to go down as the most unwarranted contract of all time, right? Right?!?!
