Good for him, this not playing is soft.  Football itself has risks associated with it. I’m really not convinced that with all of the precautions the team takes that there’s much more risk. 
 

Give the kids the option to opt-out, but if the parents and players feel comfortable PLAY THE GAMES.

Yes, but i really think the S&P is a better benchmark that tracks what you actually own.  You have a valid point, but I think our markets have been tested by much worse than this and have come out fine.

I agree with you.  I wish the Fed would have raised rates at a sustainable pace. To me it feels like they were quick to jack them up and now they got hacked down to almost nothing, and there’s nowhere to go.

8 Teams.

The regular season is still meaningful, more teams get in, every major conference champion has a chance. It’s really only one more game than they currently play.

10-3 looks better than 9-4.  I prefer the team that we would probably beat than the team where everyone is content with it being close for a couple quarters.

I agree to scrapping the divisions because it’s so lopsided, but I think we should still have a conference championship game even if it’s a rematch.

The Peach Bowl is not an exhibition game.  Even if you aren’t playing in the playoff, go out the right way if you can.

The basketball team did pretty good in big games last week. . .

We just lost to the #1 team on their home court after playing in . . .  and winning . . . a big tournament in another country.  This game would be tough enough under normal circumstances. 

Everyone needs to calm down. After the football team lost everyone on this board has been flipping out. 

Overall the basketball team has been outperforming expectations. We’re going to make another run this year!  That’s reason for optimism.

That offense has put up huge numbers all year. It’s not like Don Brown’s defense was the only one to give up a bunch of points like this. 

 

We just need a position…

We just need a position coach who can generate excitement with top tier recruits. 

 As far as scheme, Don Browns defense is great when they create pressure.  When they can’t they get torched. We were physically undersized today and lost the battle at the line. 

Also remember this could be the best offense in college football.  They have blown everyone out.  It stings, but we’ll bounce back. Hopefully a few of these freshmen/underclassmen develop well and step up in a big way next year. 

Let me be clear. The refs…

Let me be clear. The refs didn’t take the game from Michigan, but there was holding on OSU all game too.

Yeah I’ve had that happen before. It’s frustrating.  The whole section in front of us was standing so we stood and these older guys behind us said it must be our first time at the big house.

Of course it got dropped to just two games. He can’t miss a real game. . .

The problem is you could see different levels of play from a team at multiple points in the season. Just look at Wisconsin.  They hadn’t given up a point until Michigan went in to Camp Randall. But, after getting caught in the trap game with Illinois and playing OSU they look very beatable. 

Kids handle disappointment and adversity differently.  That’s why I think looking at a teams ranking when they play is significant.

I don’t know that it’s necessarily “mental decline”, but he really isn’t the same guy. He used to be crazy high energy and I think the players fed off of it.  Now he looks like he took a Valium over there on the sidelines.  I think the guy is just tired.

Football is a contact sport…

Football is a contact sport.  I certainly understand the need to protect players (especially the head), but there is a lot of accidental contact that players are getting ejected for.

I strongly feel that intent needs to be factored into ejection decisions. Did the player in question visibly “target” another players head or did their helmets accidentally touch?

55-10

Michigan comes out with a huge chip on their shoulder. The offense comes out firing and builds momentum for the rest of the season.

I would think that it would be much easier for the receivers to create separation against the Purdue secondary as opposed to Ohio State. 

But regardless, poor play against OSU. 

I hope they lose every single

Quick Question

Does anyone know why we are playing the first game to start up with ND in South Bend? The last game of the old series was in South Bend. . . and we had to drop a home game against Arkansas to pick them up. I wanted to see ND back on the schedule, but I would rather not give up home games against quality opponents for an away game. Also that puts ND,MSU, and OSU away on in the same year. Any enlightenment on why we are doing this? It just doesn't seem like a smart move to me.

Sorry if this has been previously covered

I think they want in

20 kids, I wonder what they're trying to accomplish there.......hmmmm
