There are 14 people there. Lame.
The campus buzz is all done. Just sterile corporate-sponsored conference bowls now.
The CFB season really is over.
I'm a sad dog.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:13 AM ^
I just turned on the TV to take a look at Game Day. Where are they located today?
December 1st, 2018 at 9:25 AM ^
I think a mall parking lot in Dalton Georgia.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:06 AM ^
December 1st, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
Did you finish your homework?
December 1st, 2018 at 11:13 AM ^

The worst part about this shit every year is that college football ends for me on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It isn’t even really the Playoff, it is this. That is why I wished at the time that Maryland would have just beaten them. At least we would still have had this.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:12 AM ^
Hey, we still have that Big Ten East Co-Champions trophy that came with juice boxes and orange slices.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:17 AM ^
There is a slight chance that I’m crying right now .
December 1st, 2018 at 9:42 AM ^
Hey, it will look great in 10 years when we take it out of the basement and position all the words on the trophy behind other objects in the trophy case.
So...there's that I guess.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:16 AM ^
Yup. The foolish people who wanted OSU to win that game are likely trying to take that back now. Those were the overly confident people who thought we’d handle OSU fairly easily. At least today would have been a nice consolation prize after losing to OSU. This is a prime example to almost never want OSU to win unless it directly benefits UM. An OSU win over Maryland did nothing but help THEM get to this game today. If UM had beaten a two-loss team as opposed to a one-loss, it would have made no difference whatsoever. A one-loss UM Big Ten champion would be selected as the four seed.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:12 AM ^
It really is sad when the realization hits the season is over. Such a long time and lots of cold weather (for most of us) until September. IMO College Football is the best sports product in the world.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:36 AM ^
True. And as a Michigan fan, I always look forward to the 2.5 months of enjoyable football before getting demolished.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:43 AM ^
It's the best 11 weeks and 6 days of our life!
December 1st, 2018 at 9:24 AM ^
Going to the gym until Iggy, Matthew's and the boys pound the shit outta Purdue. I'll try to avoid football as much as possible today
Then Joshua vs Fury tonight. Two 6'8 heavyweights should be a blast
December 1st, 2018 at 9:39 AM ^
Yeah the only upside is that I drink less and am more productive when our season is over early...
December 1st, 2018 at 9:52 AM ^
The boxing market is not good enough for it to be a pay per view event, though. It should be on HBO or Showtime for subscribers. They need to do all they can do to get eyeballs on the biggest events.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
You're right. Boxing is thankfully moving away from the ppv model. I myself have a fire stick on an account my buddy in Vegas pays for
December 1st, 2018 at 10:12 AM ^
I think Fury and Wilder are tonight. It would good though for the winner to go against Joshua. I don't know why Joshua vs. Wilder hasn't happened yet.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:39 AM ^
I didn't even know GameDay was on - thanks for breaking my Saturday morning, Dog...
I can honestly say that I have zero interest in footballing today. In 2016, as disappointed as I was, I didn't feel this bad about having lost the game. I was stoked about the Orange Bowl matchup when it was announced, and wildly excited for the game on NY's Day. This year? Apathy. Just plain, simple apathy.
I'm hoping (expecting) to be largely ready for a NY6 game by 1 Jan, just not there yet... The worst part about today? Hearing how OSU is getting talked up. Fuck that.
December 1st, 2018 at 10:00 AM ^
Kind of the worst part is that, speaking only for myself, I am flat out rooting for OSU to make the Playoff. There are some talking heads that will say otherwise, but the Rose Bowl still is “something.” It is something more than Ramdom NY6 Bowl against Random Opponent(tm). I actually want Oklahoma to lose and OSU to win by 100. I can envision myself on New Years Day watching to Rose Bowl feeling ultra-satisfied. Peach Bowl on the 29th? SMH.
December 1st, 2018 at 10:38 AM ^
Screw that. The rose bowl isn’t what it was even 10 yrs ago. I hope fat pat beats those assholes by 50.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
You are one of those talking heads I am referring to. The Rose Bowl is significant. It is every year for reasons separate from the complete shit-mess that is now the college football post-season.
December 2nd, 2018 at 7:33 AM ^
Sorry I disagree. The Rose bowl was once the bowl you went to because you were the best team in the big or the PAC. Now it’s being used (some years as the natty) or even worse, a consolation prize because you got your ass whipped by 23. As a kid I watched the parade and was in awe for all it stood for. Now not so much.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:43 AM ^
Not familiar with this "game day" for I attended a basketball school.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:52 AM ^
They do have a version of it for hoops. I don't know if it started yet or not. I might have to start watching it regularly.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:46 AM ^
I think it starts in 2 weeks. Army-Navy is typically the last football Gameday show.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:47 AM ^
Dari & Mel not giving much respect to OSU on ESPN radio this morning. If Northwestern keeps the game within a score or two, OU or UGA wins, then OSU gets bounced.
We only have chaos now, my friends.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:50 AM ^
The intrepid Washington State flag waving all alone outside in the parking lot in the rain behind the Game Day crew through the window, feels like the American flag waving through the battle fog of Iwo Jima.
I'm inspired.
Tip of the hat.
December 1st, 2018 at 9:56 AM ^
Herbie slurping UGA's butthole now. If they lose, they have 2 losses and are not a conference champ - they're out. And should be.
Need an 8 team playoff...
December 1st, 2018 at 9:57 AM ^
Football is dead to me
December 1st, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
Well, yeah.
They can't make it out of live pigs, amirite?
December 1st, 2018 at 10:03 AM ^
"We're going to have a 4 hour selection show on Sunday."
Mother of God, what the hell are they going to talk about for 4 hours?
December 1st, 2018 at 10:06 AM ^
I can't watch today. I'm completely disinterested in football.
Basketball is a different story.
Ohio State will win tonight by at least 21 points. You can take that to the bank.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
Prediction - OSU will be focused today against NWU - and if they do not get into the playoffs - will go back to mailing it in for the Rose Bowl.
December 1st, 2018 at 10:17 AM ^
I don’t really watch the foosball anymore
December 1st, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^
Third year in a row I cancelled an Indy hotel
Next year...........
December 1st, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
Did you cancel last year's in September?
December 1st, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
You're on fire today M-Dog. Keep it rolling buddy.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
That hurts... You aren't being good to me today, Dog...
December 1st, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
Leave me alone, I'm still pouting.
I'm a dick when I'm pouting.
Possibly when I'm not, too.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:27 AM ^
Wow, Tuas father is reminding me of The Todd Marinovich story . Poor kid got the belt if he played bad... his father chose Bama for him over USC.... geeze i never heard any of this before .
December 1st, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
I tell my kids about the Marinovich story. They have a lot of friends with super-intense parents. Things like getting hit for getting a B on their report card. For real.
Marinovich was "Robo QB", very rigidly groomed from birth by his father to be a pro QB. He never even had a Big Mac until college.
But then when he got to college and he had all that freedom, he went berserk. He couldn't handle it.
You need some balance in life. If you go 20 years without it, you'll try to make it all up in one year.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
Anyone see the Rinaldi piece on Tua and his dad? Tua’s Dad is the problem with Sports today, what a clown. Gets the belt if he doesn’t play well? Throws 1 pick and worst game ever, discipline coming? Dad makes the decision where he goes to school? Guy is a loser. If you wanted the decisions, should’ve been better yourself for your life. Tua gives family all the praise, probably because it worked out. Not all these stories end with bufferfly and roses. All too often in youth sports now. Parent wants/pushes kid more than what they want it. Unfortunately, dads seeing this piece, think I just need to push my son/daughter harder and they will be the best. Maybe I am off here, but I didn’t like that piece at all.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:49 AM ^
You are off. Mostly.
December 1st, 2018 at 12:22 PM ^
Why? You think beating your kids for a B or a pick or whatever in Sports is ok?
December 1st, 2018 at 11:41 AM ^
Georgia beat Bama!!!
In college corn hole.
December 1st, 2018 at 11:48 AM ^
Damn, Quavo is the guest picker. Rubbing salt in the wound. Harbaugh’s boy can’t even pick Michigan on his debut on gameday.
Quavos grill is straight fire btw.
