college football under quarantine

There's going to be a lot of unmolded young men out there!

lou is freaking deranged lol

i don't *really* care about college football, but i definitely appreciate Oklahoma and LSU being beaten at home

hate this guy

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney: 'On board' with Black Lives Matter messages, but not politics

^ A man torn between his need to recruit Black players and his need to soothe the multi-millionaire alumni who bankroll his program.

"i mean i'm okay with black people scoring touchdowns, that's gotta count for something"

xp apparently this all started because a 'law enforcement officer' called into dabo's radio show and asked him if he supported 'these people'

anyway he's old school, grew up in alabama, can't be expected to let the coloreds mess up the uniforms or make money or be 'political'

totally understandable racist behavior, who could blame him except everyone

SABAN HAS THE RONA

:-0

hope he's ok, but the SEC's covid attitude has been sickening, and the league deserves a dose of reality

LSU/Florida has been postponed until Dec. 12

hopefully Alabama's AD recruited another, younger 5-star coach that is ready to take saban's place, and saban will never get another opportunity as he watches his dream slip away, hobbled on the sideline.

cold but fair

UK won at Tennessee for the first time since like 1986 and biggest win by points since like 1932 today.

Kentucky has some more O-linemen that will be playing in the NFL soon.

Alabama will definitely not let Saban transfer without setting out a year.

Saban's test was apparently a false positive. He's had three negative tests since and we be on the sideline tonight. Cool.

He released a statement, "Don't be afraid of covid."

everyone who goes into remission should blab to the world “don’t be afraid of cancer!”

aaaaand trevor lawrence has covid

btw wtf nebraska

'we're not allowed to catch covid from wisconsin, so please let us catch it from chattanooga'

Indiana whupped the Wolverines today. Michigan looked slow. Harbaugh might be joining you know who in looking for a new job in January.

Good day all around.

Indiana's Michael Penix Jr. should start getting some talk as a big QB to watch and like many lefty QBs he's kind of fun to watch. Big thing with him is just not getting hurt again.

they shouldn't be playing, but at least it's resulted in michigan and penn state getting fucking smoked

They got Michigan State now too...knock wood they can complete the set by beating the Buckeyes next week.

It would figure that IU would have their season of the century in the middle of a plague.

Just the usual, OSU's d-line and o-line are just ridiculously good. They got backups better than some of IU's starters and they crush them with depth.

That said, IU's got some d-backs that are going to play in the pros. They got some linebackers with speed too. IU's speed in the back really held up pretty good and made some plays against Fields.

IU could not run AT ALL against Ohio State on offense.

Made it game and covered the spread.

IU being good is fun. Wish they could have pulled off the comeback.

Penix Jr. should be getting some press. Lefty QBs that like to throw deep are always fun. I don't know how to read QBs to see if they are doing things right or not, so I am curious to hear one of those former NFL backup QBs tear apart his mechanics on TV or radio.

Dude threw for 491 and 5 Tds with only 1 pick in the Big House against the Buckeyes. That's a heck of a day.

IU can't let down against Maryland next week looking ahead to Wisconsin, plague notwithstanding. Weird times...

lol fuck michigan

:(

The continuing humiliation of Harbaugh is a thing of beauty. The continuing monopoly that Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State have on recruiting the lion's share of five-star players out of high school will ultimately destroy big time college football. Which could be a very good thing.

That is why we need that scrappy underdog ND to take them down this year.

SOURCE: Michigan-OhioState is getting canceled.

too bad; guess we'll never know if ohio state could have covered the 30-point spread

Ohio State needs to schedule someone to be eligible for the big 10 championship game.

ffs

Sources: Big Ten expected to change rule requiring football teams to play 6 games to make conference title game

northwestern vs indiana would have been genuinely interesting, too

Hopefully Northwestern just wins

If Ryan Day ends up like John Cooper or Earle Bruce, that is exactly what will happen.

I hated Ohio State football/basketball fans, they were such total d1cks. Despised working in restaurant/bars weekends when they played in Bloomington in college.

can attest to OSU fans

at least brian kelly won't have to boycott the rose bowl u_u

oh hell yeah

Some of these guys on bama are just amazing. Have never seen someone do the hurdle and stay on their feet.

I am all in favor of Michigan making their usual bowl game mistakes.

voodoo are you going?

my personal math: normally root against any of the top big ten schools. but also washington declined my (admittedly utterly half-assed) application to grad school 30 years ago. i've kinda extra hated michigan since the fab five. but also i know people in ann arbor and it's nice. so mostly it comes down to how much i fucking loathe jim harbaugh (and also the wolverines' whole us-against-the-world schtick whenever harbaugh has to sit in the booth or whatever). will he go lay flowers on bo schembechler's grave this week? ffs

i think they'll probably win tho, and anyway seeing the SEC shut down is not without its merits

i went yesterday! logistically i had to choose between the rose bowl and the possible championship, and i always wanted to go to the rose bowl

Now for a less fun nugget for UW fans: The Huskies currently rank 44th in defensive SP+. The last national champion to rank outside the top 30 on D? Oklahoma. In *1950*.

The worst title defense since then: 2010 Auburn was 27th. And it took CAM NEWTON to overcome that.

— Bill Connelly (@ESPN_BillC) January 4, 2024

the stats suggest it's a long shot. However, stats suggested Oregon was a long shot.

washington also has 3 legit NFL WRs and uses them heavily, which is not the case for most underdogs. so you can at least envision how washington *could* win. i've also heard that their OL is actually pretty legit. but none of that explains how washington's defense keeps its head above water

The OL seems to be good at pass pro. Alabama OL was supposed to be good too, however.

I’d say Washington’s path to victory is probably no different than TCU last year- Michigan makes a boodle of mistakes and QB/team has game of their lives.

washington settling for a FG from inside the 10 on its first drive feels like a death knell to me

^^^

welp

i thought harbaugh let washington hang around a bit when michigan should have been ending it...

mccarthy has looked shaky to put it mildly

but still every drive feels like an uphill climb for washington

would imagine the number of chances washington has to flip this game are dwindling…

well that woulda possibly done it but noooo

hard to swallow that holding call when every completion replay features a Michigan OL with a handful of jersey

Penix and WRs just didn't do it tonight, though

Washington's punter and right tackle are awful

Can't handle JJ's Gino Torretta smiles

we'll find out how they cheated soon enough

Jim thinks of himself as a storyteller, really

voodoo <3

this is pretty great, not gonna lie

With a hard work ethic Inshallah the U of M will return to its glory days.

imo Michigan has no chance in the next game against "Mr. Dream"

Nick Saban is retiring, according to ESPN

Definite changing of the guard with Carroll stepping down and more than likely Bill B. Leaving at NE.

not sure carroll 'stepped down' so much as he was pushed

anyway good for saban getting out at 72; perhaps he should run for president as the youthful option

Tommy Rees was a plant, sent to annoy Saban into retirement.

just learned that sports illustrated's 2023 sportsperson of the year was . . . deion sanders, coach of a college football team that finished 4-8 overall and last in the pac-12 at 1-8

a publication/brand that deserves to die, because wtaf

the selection was made by AI
