Yeah, we're kinda into TE play too. We've lost two All American tight ends to injury this year, but our third option is still a beast.

Lots of Mike Leach chatter on the airwaves up here, due to his time at WSU. I generally don't like characters, in politics, entertainment, sports... but the one exception is college football coaches. That is one profession where I love characters, and believe they enhance the sport. Bowden, Spurrier,  Harbaugh... and there were few, if any, coaches who were more of a character that Mike Leach.
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

I agree with you.

Same...he definitely was one of a kind. My cousin attended WSU when he was there, so I was able to get a bit of a taste of him through that. They also did a special, I want to say it was a 30/30 but can't be sure, on him that was fantastic.

I get Seniors who are heading to the draft and have been injured during the season sitting out. Best to them, I say. But Clark Phillips is a real head shaker for me.

I guarantee, PSU's been watching film and just thinking, "Yeah, we'll just identify where he lines up and just not throw there." Now, they don't have to worry about him, half the field (potentially) opens up to their playbook.

PSU's strength isn't wide receiver.  As mentioned, our best is out for the Rose, but after Parker-Washington.... we have no WRs really who showed up this year, Tinsley would be the next best and he's just OK.  What PSU is tough at, is our tight ends in the passing game so it might not be as big of a loss in this scenario.

And PSU's top TE Strange just announced he's going to play! I'd be shocked if he doesn't have a big play in the Rose Bowl.  Speaking of, I'm currently in Pasadena.  I plan on stopping by the Rose Bowl this weekend, give my blessing.

So my current work is handling foodservice operations for an office of one of the largest law firms in the world. The main boss, the head partner is making a site visit in the new year, he's a Michigan grad, and the date of his visit and the concurring catering events are pending if they beat TCU or not  :lol


Podaar

 :lol

They should win, unless TCU's passing attack get's going by torching Michigan corners. If TCU can get a lead, Michigan may have a hard time keeping up...although, I'd be surprised if it played out that way.

Podaar

Oregon relied too much on luck to win the Holiday Bowl.

The second and third quarters, Bo Nix looked like he just wanted to go the nearest church and pray...throwing the ball in the general direction of receivers isn't going to help baby Jesus. He only helps those who do it all themselves by throwing to five-star recruits.

On defense someone needs to remind the fucking-ducks that you tackle from the armpits down! Grabbing dude by the outside of his shoulder pads, as he runs by, gives him most of the leverage. Take his core or legs away and he goes down.

Really, I thought NC looked pretty damned good. Especially their quarterback Drake Maye. You can tell he just has that intangible quality that you know when you see it. Dude is a baller, and he's only a red shirt freshman? Dam, the Tar Heels have a great future with that kid.

Podaar

Michigan looking scared in the first half! TCU playing with house money.

lonestar

I'd be perfectly happy with the day ending with no Big 10 teams in play, but to be honest I think this one is to see who gets to be schooled by Georgia.

Podaar


Podaar

Wow! Michigan defense looks like they're trying to be UCLA.

Boy did this game take a turn in the last few minutes. Holy shit.

Cool Chris

No kidding. Not watching but checking on my phone periodically, and every time I glance at it, the score is different.
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

lonestar

Well they managed to squeeze every fucking ounce of drama out of that one, didn't they? Anyhow, congrats to TCU, one Big 10 team out of it.


Can't deny I'm a little miffed that Dykes couldn't lead Cal to the Jack Shit Bowl, much less the national title game, in his years here but I'll get over it.

Podaar

I'd say that, just based on the look in Stroud's and Day's eyes, that OSU is going to have a long night.

TAC

Did Kirk Herbstreit have a facelift?

They're definitely making a game of it.

lonestar

What the actual fuck on that one... Wasn't watching cause I was in our NYE meeting, but I paid very little attention to the meeting lol...

hefdaddy42

Both games went the way I hoped they would.

I knew Michigan would lose when they tried that trick play on 4th and goal on their opening drive.

I wasn't able to watch the second half of the OS vs. Georgia game until this morning. OS really made a better game of it than I thought they would. I'll bet their kicker is the most hated person in Columbus today.  :lol

lonestar

Yeah, he didn't just miss it, he shanked the crap out of it. Feel a bit bad, dipshits will be sending him death threats and shit. Fucking idiots.

KevShmev

Even though I wanted Ohio St. to lose, you have to feel bad for that kicker.

Absolutely....still happy they lost though.

cramx3

Those were some pretty wild games, that's really all we can ask for especially since these games sometimes are so one sided.  Kind of shocked OSU had that game won and TCU handled Michigan though.

lonestar

Georgia is a 13.5 point favorite as of now.


Who in their right fucking mind wants to give 13.5 to a team that just put up 51 points on Michigan?

lonestar

Saw a tweet that said 'one minute into the new year and every team is undefeated except Ohio St'  :rollin

Podaar

Huh? USC doesn't have a viable defense? Who knew?!

lonestar

Meltdown of Biblical proportions. Couldn't have happened to a nicer team.

Seems to be a theme with PAC-12 . The moment is too big for Utah. 😡

Embarrassing performance by the entire Michigan team and especially from coach Harbaugh.

They were woefully unprepared in every aspect of the game. Yet again, Harbaugh is unable to win a bowl game. His clock management decisions at the end of the game were brutal.

It was a great season but I'm left with disappointment.

Props to TCU. They kicked our ass!

Ya know.  I love how Michigan is pushing a lot of the blame on the refs.  I do think that TD called back was a bad call, but generally, Michigan gets the favorable calls all the time in the Big 10.  It's funny how Michigan is so bad in bowl games.  Maybe because they don't get the Big 10 refs and have to play like everyone else.

Great game by PSU last night.  I didn't expect them to win going in, I thought Utah was built similarly to Michigan and was probably better coached.  But I think PSU put together their best game all season, specifically with Clifford who FINALLY played great in a big game.  He basically redeemed himself which was very nice to see and his emotion after the game was really special.  It does suck Rising got hurt.  He would have kept the game interesting and maybe could have won it for them because he was making a lot of big 3rd down plays. 

11-2 and finishing in the top 10... I'll take it when most predicted this year was an 8 win team and not ranked to start the year. A lot to look forward to next year since so many young players were playing meaningful minutes yesterday and a top QB recruit to take over.

lonestar

This is borderline embarrassing. Fuck, I thought TCU would hang at least a bit, but they ejust getting fucking smoked.

Podaar

Yeah, I've turned it off. The Horny Toads aren't coming back from that first half.
