OOWEEUNGULALAY ain't bad.  I'm just spelling it phonetically because I give up, and no two people pronounce it the same anyway, so I'm providing a public service.  You're welcome.

I'm sure they are trying.  I think football is hard.  And almost every coach has a specialty on one side of the ball based on their background.  They don't know what they don't know on the other side.  So you need to have a good staff, which is hit or miss, and they often leave for promotions after some success.  Just my $0.02

Colorado with an idiotic sequence to allow Oregon State the chance to score at the end of the half...and they do. Instead of being down 7-3 it's now 14-3.

Can’t wait to see how Coach Prime throws his team under the bus this week.

Colorado only knows how to play shootouts. No sense of strategy or situational awareness

Watching (NT)OSU / CU.  AT&T’s got a commercial for their special 5G Google Glass type helmets to allow a deaf / hard of hearing college football team to signal plays.

Putting aside the fact that football signs / signals are visual — it’s snap counts that would be a particular challenge — it’s almost as if this magical AT&T product could be used to allow all teams to signal their plays securely.

No, wait, that’s obviously ridiculous.  What am I thinking?

I don't know which snowflake thread to put it in so I'll put it here instead.

It occurred to me tonight that probably no neutral has actually watched a Michigan game this year. They might turn it on, but it's so boring so quickly they're gone after a couple of commercial breaks. After that it's maybe a play or two during a timeout of whichever SEC or PAC shootout has gotten their attention.

This includes every voter in either poll. Probably the CFP committee too. Sometimes I wonder if even Blackledge is watching the game and he's calling it.

I can see that happening. I remember watching one of our games this year and getting distracted by something on my computer and by the time I looked at the game again we had scored 14 points I had no real recollection of. I then rewound back to see the stretch of game I missed. I again started getting sidetracked with other stuff and again didn't really pay attention. I gave up and just accepted that a lot of these games are just kind of a blur.
