Lot of good games tonight too. Clemson v South Cackalack. Fully expect Clemson to win by at least 3 touchdowns, but it's a rivalry game and could end up being close for a good portion of the game.

ND vs USC is the one I'm interested in though. The trojans have been pretty ass this year, but they ALWAYS show out against ND. This is one of the best rivalries in sports and with ND having an undefeated regular season on the line, it will be tense.

ClockShot 11-24-2018 07:37 PM

UConn is now the worse defense in FBS history. Set records for most points and yards allowed today.

They need to just fold up the football program once and for all.

Sepholio 11-24-2018 09:00 PM

Clemson leading South Cackalack 28-21 at half. Really exciting game. Lots of big plays, no defense haha.

ND losing 10-0 to USC like midway through the second quarter. INTRIGUE DEVELOPING.

@ClockShot Holy shit haha I just looked up the stats on UCONNs defense and that is freaking awful. They should relegate them to D-III and have them playing Downtown Portland Agricultural Community College.

Sepholio 11-24-2018 09:07 PM

Jesus ND just went for it on like 4th and 5 from the 45 yd-line....IN THE 2ND QUARTER -_-

And they didn't convert. Hope USC runs this down and makes it 17-0 real quick.

On the subject of mysterious 4th down play calling tonight, South Carolina appears to think they can't hold Clemsons offense enough and has apparently made the command decision to go for it on EVERY 4th down. They went on 4th and goal earlier and didn't convert, and then Clemson decided to be dicks on the next drive and went for it on like 4th and 8 and scored haha. It's crazy but hey, it's entertaining.

Sepholio 11-25-2018 02:33 AM

Called Clemson winning by 3 touchdowns. ND escaped USC 24-17. Was a really exciting game.

The surprise for me was LSU vs Texas A&M. 7OT game that ended with Texas A&M winning 74-72. Most points in FBS history and second most all time in all of college football. One of the craziest games I've ever seen.

You say that now, but watch what happens next week.

It saddens me as a fan. I have had to switch gears from fan (as I am a '9ers fan... sort of by circumstance: I called myself picking the farthest team away from Browns vs Steelers, meanwhile, The Debartolo Corporation is literally a few miles south of me. Their name is on a building at YSU. and when they have an east coast run, the team practices here. Local ties run deep.) to foe when he accepted his current gig.

I really wish Eddie could get the team back. The in laws have made a shitshow of his pride and joy.

But on to the rivalry.

You might be correct, Seph, in that he dodges a bullet given his history and performance, but then again, both teams have fired coaches for less. "You can go 1-10, but that 1 better be against [either team]". If everything were equal and played out exactly as history goes except Urban dropped the last 4 to TTUN, even with the playoff appearances and national championship, people would be calling for his head right now.

The statement might shift depending upon which Buckeye team shows up: the penalty ridden defensive sieve that waits until the second half to attempt to start playing halfway to potential, or the monster that just kicked the shit out of Xichigan today... because the latter is the type of team who can hang another 42 points on the almighty Alabama, and the former should just be happy to make a bowl appearance in a game that ultimately won't matter against an 8 thru 15 rank opponent around Christmas.

Frank Drebin 11-25-2018 08:12 AM

They'll be something like 13 point favs over NU. Maybe more after everyone looks at how much OSU beat Michigan by and how much NU beat Illinois by. Take NU. There were good reasons why it was only an 8 point win.

Simple Fan 11-25-2018 12:03 PM

I'm just glad this season is over, one of the worst in Louisville history.

Frank Drebin 11-25-2018 09:52 PM

OSU opens as 13 point favs....line quickly moves to 14. Just like I predicted.

*droford post*

Frank Drebin 11-25-2018 09:53 PM

Prob going to see more and more people betting OSU so I wouldn't be surprised to see that line continue to move.

"I'd stay away from that one."

Nobody here would get the Todd N Tyler joke, but I was compelled to post it anyway. I should have posted it on the forums for Petey's NHL Blog, though...

Frank Drebin 11-28-2018 03:35 PM

*Almost* time to play the gaaeeeeeeemmmm

I would really like for Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State to lose this weekend. Georgia obviously wins, UCF kills whoever in their conference title game, and Clemson and Oklahoma lose by 2 scores. That would create the maximum amount of turmoil for the playoff selection committee.

Frank Drebin 11-29-2018 04:07 PM

If NU loses, I would like for OU to win and keep Texas below Penn State in the rankings so NU has a shot at the Citrus Bowl. I guess I'd still be happy with the Holiday Bowl in a worst case scenario.

Take the purple to Pasadena tho.

Frank Drebin 11-29-2018 04:10 PM

Even people on the NU fan sites are moaning that they're going to get creamed. Like, ok....don't win the division and go to the fucking Motor City bowl in Detroit or whatever every year. Fuck you.

Things need to drop in NU'S favor to win because they aren't going to beat OSU on pure athletics, but there's a path.

Frank Drebin 11-29-2018 04:12 PM

In case you guys can't tell, I'm pretty pumped for this. Biggest game in the Pat Fitzgerald Era and I think they have a shot to crash the party.

Simple Fan 11-29-2018 10:40 PM

Purdue fans are lucky. I knew Brohm was a loyal a guy and was too early for him to leave. I've heard alot of names thrown out. Pulling from Appalachian St. coach Scott Sadderfield to Bob Stoops which would be crazy. Hoping for Satterfield since UNC passed up on him.

:love:

I don't dislike Louisville but the media down there and the never ending trolling that Brohm was a done deal got old fast.

I wish you guys well on your coaching search. I think UNC passing on Satterfield is going to bite them in the ass.

Simple Fan 11-30-2018 12:21 AM

I agree, never thought Brohm was a done deal. Also agree UNC going with Mack Brown will bite them in the ass. Louisville just went through hiring a coach for the second time. I'll be happy with Satterfield but if they can pull off Bob Stoops I'd also be down for that. The the names are Luke Fickle and Troy Brown and I don't think Troy Brown us a good fit.

Simple Fan 11-30-2018 12:22 AM

Believe Brohm was really torn on the the decision and it could have gone any way.

Simple Fan 11-30-2018 12:33 AM

Also suck it MSU fans. Bifmg win for Chris Mack in his first year at Louisville.

rez 11-30-2018 10:42 AM

I'm not holding out Brohm will stay with us long term but we're in a far better place than we were before. The last President didn't give a shit about sports and took money from the athletic department (dat BTN loot). The former AD was just riding into the sunset for retirement and went along with it. Even back to when we were winning with Joe Tiller, he couldn't keep assistants due to budget constraints.

but yeah..I think Brohm could be eyeing an eventual blue blood or NFL job if things continue to improve. It'd be much easier for him to leave us than it would be to leave Louisville in one of those situations.

rez 11-30-2018 10:45 AM

Fuck Izzo. We're constantly fighting for the same recruits and he wins most of the time.

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 11:59 AM

Betting line has moved to 15.5 for OSU in some books. NU.

Rooting for Oklahoma, Clemson and Georgia. I guess UCF too even though they don't get in even if everything breaks their way.

Go Cats

Sepholio 12-01-2018 01:50 PM

I dunno, I see ONE path for UCF. They have to win huge today, and Georgia, OSU and Oklahoma all have to lose. Even then it still comes down to luck. I saw analysts predict that if it broke that way Georgia would just stay at #4.

Sepholio 12-01-2018 06:23 PM

COME ON GEORGIA

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 06:32 PM

oooffff. That missed FG was huge. 3 score game if he makes it.

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 06:43 PM

Every shot of the Bama/UGA cheerleaders or dance team is 100% perfect 10's. The SEC is good at football and tits. All you need to succeed in this country.

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 06:44 PM

.....and now its a 1 score game. Would still have room for error if the dork with the glasses kicks that extra point length FG.

Sepholio 12-01-2018 06:49 PM

It's crazy to think he is actually one of the best kickers around after that kick lol.

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 06:54 PM

Pulling for your guys, Seph. Bama beats out Ohio State for #4 and I'm really worried that the Big Ten is going to call their game in favor of OSU to try to get them to the playoffs. Don't think OSU even gets to a NY6 bowl if they lose.

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 07:05 PM

Thing I hate about college is no injury report. Some teams give some out from time to time but there's no incentive to do so or be truthful. NU has a bunch of guys I'd like to know about and there's no way the announcers are going to talk about it. NU's entire secondary, a starting DE, #1 WR and not one but two kickers are all questions. They've been using a punter to kick and he doesn't even have the leg to do 35 yards.

Sepholio 12-01-2018 07:11 PM

Uh oh. Tua is done. He was playing with an injured knee already and now his ankle got rolled. Not good.

Sepholio 12-01-2018 07:14 PM

Looks like he is going to be carted off from the sideline medical tent here in a second. Feel bad for him and hope it doesn't cost him the Heisman.

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 07:17 PM

All I can think of is how much easier it would be to be a UGA fan to have those extra 3 points right now.

Sepholio 12-01-2018 07:18 PM

Don't need you to remind me too. The announcers won't let me forget lol

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 07:19 PM

The dork with glasses who is let on to the SEC football team needs to make the bloody 30 yard kick. Look at those brauds he has access to. He needs to make those.

Frank Drebin 12-01-2018 07:27 PM

That was such a pretty pass over the RB's shoulder.
