I don’t see them getting two…

I don’t see them getting two safeties, so that should do it.

A field goal is a touchdown…

A field goal is a touchdown in this game. A  touchdown is a championship.

Just an extra? Fox will…

Just an extra? Surely Fox will figure out how to cram in two commercial breaks during the sequence.

Seth’s Big Ten Showcase idea…

Seth’s Big Ten Showcase idea would 1) go a long way towards fixing that problem 2) make the first conference that implements it a huge $ and exposure advantage and 3) be really awesome. It’s a much better idea than the NBA’s in season tournament.

No shame in that. I, and…

No shame in that. I, and many other readers of this blog, grew up loving Chris Spielman. Hell, I still do.

The median value for points…

The median value for points is more meaningful than consecutive anyway.

Marv hasen’t been dominant… Marv hasen’t been dominant against Michigan because, post Down Brown, Michigan’s entire defense is based on limiting OSU’s never ending carousel of NFL recievers. Michigan and Penn State are the only teams that have the athletes to actually pull this off while also stopping the run game.
Marv is going pro this week…

Marv is going pro this week. No way he plays in their bowl game. That would be a terrible decision.

Refs NEVER call that penalty…

Refs NEVER call that penalty. The motion man is almost always curling towards the sideline at the snap.

Hell, there was a game last night where three players were in motion at the snap and refs didn’t throw a flag.

Washing DB had a pick six…

Washing DB had a pick six but dropped the ball on the one. Premature celebration and recovery by Utah

Every single change of…

Every single change of possession. No matter what.

With a 12 team playoff,…

With a 12 team playoff, conference affiliation is no longer needed. Michigan could go the independent route and be perfectly fine. Notre Dame’s strategy is so antiquated that it has become correct again.

Warde is non-contributing…

Warde is a non-contributing zero. Santa Ono is doing the job of the University President and AD right now.

And why are they spending…

And why are they spending money on ads, anyway?

No, no. This contributes to…

No, no. This contributes to our regression to the mean. It’s not a bad thing

I think you just need regular stats for that

Forward progress was stopped before going oob

They both got the play from Sparky Polaski 

Buck and Aikman are like…

Buck and Aikman are like watching golf. Nice and soothing, great for an afternoon nap.

The NCAA needs to make bowl…

The NCAA needs to make bowl game statistics “officially recognized”. No one should break Barry Sanders’ season rushing records. Give him his bowl game yardage and it’ll be impossible to break even in a sixteen game season.

Wisconsin seems to avoid the…

Wisconsin seems to avoid the three best teams in their conference on the regular

I used to think that, but…

I used to think Eastern was best, but after moving to Central time, I’m a convert. Games starting earlier  on Saturday and Sunday is better. Less waiting for games to start.

It was especially great when the Wings were still in the Western Conference.

No, but they have 8 more…

No, but they have 8 more games. A field goal per game and they’ll have it.

ND missing so many tackles…

ND missing so many tackles. That’s gonna hurt them.

double post

Those used to be maddeningly…

Those used to be maddeningly automatic.

Can I teach him about the…

Can I teach him about the ideal gas law?

Until the expanded playoffs,…

Until the expanded playoffs, there is no motivation to play tough OOC opponents, unfortunately. We’re already in the toughest division in the country. I’m hoping scheduling (for all P5 teams) gets more interesting in the future when a single loss isn’t an auto elimination (only SEC teams get one free loss currently).

Have you tried imodium?

Have you tried imodium?

The Big East is dead. My SEC…

The Big East is dead. My SEC hatred has surpassed my hatred for “The U”

It’s okay though because you…

It’s okay though because you get to see more products to spend your money on.

This was a staple for me in Joe Montana Sportstalk Football on the Genesis. I’d use it on first down and the announcer was amazed everytime!

Deion Sanders and the…

Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes looking good so far. looking nothing like the absolute worst team in the Power 5 like they were last year.

Coed scene in Austin is right up Urban’s alley

Yeah but his AOL account is…

Yeah but his AOL account is 26 years old, so he’s got that going against him.

Stanford may get…

Stanford may get overshadowed in the two biggest sports, but they are an athletic powerhouse overall

This is America. We don’t go…

This is America. We don’t go after the upper class.

Flim Flam at the Plymouth…

Flim Flam at the Plymouth road mall and Big Boy anywhere.

“Having the game operate one…

“Having the game operate one way for 36 minutes and a different way for 4 minutes…” Don’t they already do this with the clock for out of bounds plays? Clock doesn’t stop until near the end of the half/game I believe. 

That goal was like a tighter…

That goal was like a tighter version of the ‘97 goal. “McCarty in, McCarty draws, McCarty scores! Oh wait a magnificent goal that was!”

“As it stands, Michigan…

“As it stands, Michigan basketball probably needs a good “fire Juwan” month to get over the hump. “ Is the biweekly Reddit poll on this enough?

I’m not into fishing or…

I’m not into fishing or Jimmy Buffet, but one of the best articles I ever read in SI was about fishing, written by Jimmy Buffet. I’m convinced fishing is so boring that it’s the only sport where the writing is more interesting than the doing.

I’ve yet to see a trophy in…

I’ve yet to see a trophy in any sport that can compete with the Stanley Cup. Players skating around the ice with the Cup is the best celebration for a Championship. Hearing the President of Tostitos Corp then some ESPN talking head prattle on from a hastily erected podium at the 50 yard line just does not compare.

Did podcast dude say we don…

Did podcast dude say we don’t pull guards or try advanced stuff?

I’ve tried watching some previews/analysis on YouTube but it’s readily apparent that many of these guys just scan through box scores and stats but don’t watch actual games.

The older I get the more I realize a large portion of people have no idea WTF they are talking about.

ESPN+ also comes with the greatest movie in history: The Empire Strikes Back.

With the chin strap he looks like an adult baby.

This is the correct answer…

This is the correct answer. The Varsity Network app is awesome.

“The ones that didn't fit in…

“The ones that didn't fit in the 85 just got NIL. We are no longer bothering to bother with the "how many" question”

In hindsight this seems so obvious, but I had not thought of this.

Analytics or something. That would require a "Neck Sharpies" level explanation for me.
