At home.

Delicious.

I’m not here to defend Day, but in the new NIL/transfer environment, fans need to realize that just making the playoff is an achievement. I mean, Howard is all they could muster at QB, how elite are they really?

I’m not arguing that Will Howard is a great QB. But, five-loss Michigan’s best offensive player (Colston Loveland) and defensive player (Will Johnson) didn’t play today and Ohio State still lost.

Michigan’s QB had less than 100 yards passing and two interceptions, and Michigan still won. This is not like Day losing to Michigan the previous three seasons. It’s one of the worst losses by any team all season.

The portal has ruined CF imho. It was a flawed system before, don’t get me wrong. But the pendulum has swung too far the opposite way. This is a mess.

Yeah yeah, and there were only 4 channels on the TV when you were a kid, grandpa.

We’ll get off your lawn now.

Nonsense.

So I got the fire pit fired up, finishing up an Equal Parts All Malt Classic, while watching Auburn/Alabama. I may bust open a bottle of Turley for the big matchup in a bit. This is football weather.

Don’t want the players to move? Then recognize them as employees and collectively bargain it.

[WVASTRO]

I think that’s a great idea

Breaking up fights in CFB

I thought I saw cops breaking up the Alabama/Auburn skirmish also. Don’t recall seeing the law get in the middle of these things previously.

Average ticket price for UT-A&M > $1000? Meaning the gate > $100,000,000? I have a hard time believing that.

I’m assuming the $1,000 is the secondary market price, not the face value paid for the ticket.

You obviously don’t own a burnt orange 1973 Cadillac convertible and a burnt orange double knit blazer.

ETA: gotta be. These are student financing a tiny portion of the next semester’s tuition.

Let’s go Horns! Beat the hell out of A&M!

Fascists.

A wannabe army?

Well that first series fucking sucked

Man, I would hate to be in the middle of that barbaric horde.
