2024-2025 Official College Football Thread

I don't know I have not considered it too often. It's less than 13 miles from my home, but it's a 1/2-hour ride because of normal traffic.

On another note, I have been to multiple Jets and Giants games at the old Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands. The current stadium is a complete ripoff!

I'm positive.

Notice most of his success is with Urban Myer recruits. Also, look at his postseason record.

It's a new world. You have to pay for players. That money has to keep coming in and it's going to be driven by beating your rivals and winning championships. Conference championships mean very little now with the expanded playoffs. Coaches are going to be on shorter leashes than ever.

I feel ya my friend. Kind of like getting the air sucked out of your lungs before you even begin the bike ride. We all have been there if it's any consolation, Mark

Norvel got to go !!!

Welp, Rutgers lost, they were out-coached and outplayed in a game they were predicted to win.

I watched the Vols on ESPN game after a movie I watched ended. They had just tied the game, then they went ahead by a touchdown, got the ball back again quickly, and tried a deep past that failed. Two more plays later they had to punt. The Gators roared back and scored with only a few seconds on the clock. The Gators then tried a trick play for 2 points to go ahead, but the Vols coach called a timeout to stop it from happening before the play started. At this point, the Gators went for just the extra point and sent the game into overtime. Gators got the ball first but failed to put points up in OT, this gave the ball back to the Vols where they scored a touchdown to win. The Tennesee stadium holds 102 thousand and was packed. Games like that are the reason college football is popular.

Rutgers lost another game they were supposed to win easily on Homecoming Day. three players were injured, and they are out for the rest of the Season. Rutgers's defense gave up over 400 yards.

Instead of watching college football, I flip back and forth between channels and, watch parts of the Yankees game. I watched the top of the 10th inning once Soto hit the home run, it was then bedtime.

The game was advertised on NBC during last night's NFL game. It's scheduled for prime time this weekend. NBC should switch it local stations and put on a different game.

Rutgers had the week off they are playing this weekend.

" Now, we are going to South Bend this week for what may be the massacre of the year."
Speaking of firing coaches,

On another note. The New York Giants (NFL) just gave the GM and coach Darbo a message mid-week that their jobs are secured for next season. Meanwhile, they overpay Daniel Jones, who is mediocre, and they lose again. They refused to pay Saquon Barkley's during the off-season. Yet S.B. had another great day for the Eagles with 199 yards rushing and is featured in this week's highlight reel for a reverse hurdle. It's infuriating when things keep getting worse. I feel bad for you Mark.

I was flipping through the channels to find something worthwhile to watch. It was the last 16 seconds of the Georgia vs. Ole Miss game. The fans started to enter the field with a play one play still needed to end the game. It took a few minutes to get people far enough away for Jaxson Dart's final snap. The biggest idiot was a fan as he came out of the stands, he used both hands to double flip The Bird, as he was walking towards the camera. (Where were the censors?) On a positive note, seeing Ole Miss win 28-10 was nice.

I'm surprised Rutgers won; they were not favored to win due to too many injuries. However, there is another positive and something to look forward to. They are one win away from being bowl-eligible for the second season in a row. In the next 3 games, they play Maryland, Illinois, and Michigan State.

The Oklahoma Sooners did a number on Alamaba last night. 24-3. That is one major team that won't make it to the playoffs hopefully.

Rutgers was beating Illinois with 58 seconds left Head Coach Greg Schiano made a stupid timecall to ice the field gold. The Illinois coach was anticipating the call. It backfired on Rutgers they ended up giving up a Hail Mary pass to the end zone. Schiano took the full blame for the mistake. It would have been Rutger's first win over a Top 25 team in several years at home. Making it worse it was Seniors Day and the last home game of the Season.

Congratulations Dan, Robert, and Mark with the wins yesterday.

As much as I hate the concept, it was a "quality loss," especially if the Ducks keep winning.

The Bucks will likely get a second shot at them in the Conference Championship. The problem is I don't think Day is smart enough to learn anything useful. And he's an average game day coach at best.

What the heck, IU 7-0 ????

I may have partook in some victory Bourbon yesterday...

How in the world did I miss that? Being on the other side of the world makes it difficult to track live events like games sometimes.

Thanks. That does make my day a bit brighter.

Mark

We'll take it.

Now starts Hate Week.
