Looking forward to the game as much as the tribute to Coach Leach. Hope the Bulldogs remain focused, even though they will be jacked up. It's been a good year for my teams except Wash State: Notre Dame, Oregon State, TCU, and Miss State. Will be rooting for them to finish their season off today as a fitting tribute to the Pirate.
As sweet as it was to see the Horned Frogs win, it was even sweeter to see both Big 10 teams go down. I am under no delusions that GA is a powerhouse and so well coached, but still could be an entertaining game. Not sure what shape both teams will be after those physical and emotionally draining semi-finals.
As an Oregon State fan living in Sarasota, I'm not going to pile on the gators. You never know players mentality when it comes to bowl games. Having said that, UF definitely needs a QB. and if they land the right guy, they'll be competitive next season. Go Beavs!
That would be great if they could lure Riley. Not like the cupboards bare and he would have a true pro-style QB ready to pull the trigger. Also I'm intrigued how the team will react when the bowl game arrives. Fired up? Sure. Focused or distracted? Looking forward to Jan 2 to find out.
The CFB has become ungoverned with rampant free agency. Would like to see it revert back to sitting out 1 year when transferring. Too many players are disgruntled for not enough playing time, issues with the coaching staff, etc. I see the rich programs getting richer, and sadly, there's no going back. The genie is out of the bottle.
Amen brother. Having lived and worked in DC, it's a POS. No respect for the military and our past servicemen (and women). Sleepy Joe; Don't show up at Arlington Cemetery with a little flag and thing you're doing your job.
I will give up on CFB if Mich gets in after losing to Ohio State. The "Little" 10 is joke and would be a total injustice if USC misses out (assuming they beat ND and Oregon). Having said that I will root against USC on Sat. And don't be surprised if Oregon State wins the Civil War game. Go Beavs!
The B1G is a fraud and at least one will be eliminated Sat...hopefully Mich. I would love to see my Irish knock off USC, but they don't have the horses. USC, although it pains me to say it, deserves to be in the top 4 as well as the Horned Frogs. Watch out for the Beavers to upset Oregon as well as Wazzu beating Wash Huskies.
Yes I agree the Vols are getting screwed, but your beef should be directed towards the Big 10 and Michigan specifically. This weekend Ohio State and Mich are favored by 40 and 30 points respectively. That says it all about the caliber of teams in the Big (little) 10. No way would you have spreads like that in the SEC. TCU may lose this weekend but would love to see them, as well as Ten get in.
No way that OSU and Mich both get in. This piss poor conference is an embarrassment and the only game that counts (every year) is their post Thanksgiving game. Grew up in the midwest, but won't watch Big 10 games unless I'm having trouble falling asleep.
I have always rooted for Leach from Tex Tech, Wash St, etc. He never has the marquis players, as it's tough to recruit big names to Lubbock, Pullman, and to a degree, Starkville. Having said that, I believe he has to beat Miss to salvage his job.
I grew up in the midwest. lived several years in the Northwest OR/WA and now in FL. The SEC is by far the superior conference and would be a sham if Mich and Ohio St both get in. That won't happen as that conf is so pitiful. I will admit I root for Miss St and ND, and sadly both have issues. Would like to see TCU sneak in, assuming they run the table. Their wins against top 25 teams should propel them past Mich (who will not beat Ohio St).
