college football under quarantine

Nebraska: Frost’s hot seat is hotter than ever. His contract buyout drops from $15 million to $7.5 million on Oct. 1.

he's 16-31 and they're gonna give him $7.5m to go away

ffs they couldn't even wait three weeks! so now they're giving him $15m to go away

frosty out there

So much for Texas A&M challenging Bama - A State got another skull for the trophy case.

ND's loss was pretty sad too.

Got to give UK some credit after the long snapper threw the ball into the endzone for a safety, they pulled it together and Florida could not do a single thing on offense for the rest of the game.

Did not make much news outside here, but Eastern KY and Morehead State played a 7 OT game yesterday. EKU's coach had a heart attack a few weeks ago, I hope he is ok after yesterday.

As for the Cornhuskers - GET OVER IT...IT IS DONE - it's been 20 years at least since anyone thought of Nebraska as a football power.

It's like Indiana in college basketball, it's OVER.

IU basketball has not had the same sharp decline imo. They still get some cruits.

i was shocked to see how far Nebraska had fallen (being only casually familiar with college football). still remember how deadly they were in the 90s.

mega lols that former UCF coach flamed out

gutsy performance by the irishes

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Hail Mary like this

Amazing. Everyone called the app state letdown game but they pulled it out.

Marshall going through its own rn

xp to mookie, I hope we got over the hump with that first Freeman win. We were gifted a strange offsides call on a FG we missed. Felt like we were cursed when that INT got waived by the (correct) targeting call.

That was probably the game of the year at least from what I have seen so far.

Bryce Young is really good. I'm impressed how he is able on the run to square up his shoulders and throw the ball.

this game was insane

I'm not sure what I expected the drive chart of the SMU 77, Houston 63 to look like but it's still stunning to see it pic.twitter.com/Hjj80sUZZf

Bryce Young is pretty darn good. That throw to put them back in the game against LSU in the 4th quarter was really amazing. Alabama's defense is nearly Big 12 porous though.

I really wanted to put money on Notre Dame on that Syracuse game. Between that one and the Clemson game some Irish fans made some money on their favorite apps the past couple weeks.

Ole Miss pretty much let Alabama off the hook today. Their running back Judkins is really good. Don't get at all what Kiffen was thinking a couple times having that back especially after he moved them 50 yards down to get into place to win the game calling two QB draws. Same thing earlier in the game they get first and goal running the ball down the Tides throat and then he decides to throw it three times. Kinda dumb but hey Kiffen will probably get some school to pay him more to move on to them (maybe Auburn).

enjoyed seeing UVA's first two plays from scrimmage going for pick-sixes

(never really thought about how to pluralize that; thanks wahoos)

also virginia tech is really scraping bottom now, eh

NC and NC St. was a heck of a game today. I'm not so sure about that Tarheel QB Maye as a big pro prospect but the freshman on NC St. team looks pretty good.

Florida and Florida St. so far has been a track meet. Definitely a few future pros on this team. That big 6-7 WR FSU has named Johnny Wilson probably will get some pro interest. Jon Kitna's son is the Freshman backup QB for the Gators and he got in for a few plays when Richardson got hit pretty hard. Richardson's arm is ridiculous. Travis the FSU Qb is a heck of an athlete himself well worth looking for the highlights as he made a killer play avoiding 5 Gators to make a 20+ yard run out of the pocket to the 1 yard line.

go blue baby!

It was fun watching the Buckeyes get popped in the mouth. I was watching saying 'go ahead, blitz everyone again'. Terrible coaching, you would think after like giving up 3 huge plays on big blitzes you would learn, but Noooooooooo...there D coordinator thinks he is a tactical genius and this time it will work.

Ryan Day looks like the after picture in an ad for Grecian Formula.

love how ohio state is all like 'sure we just got doubled up at home, but we totally deserve to be in the playoff!' (they're ~almost~ correct)

unfortunate that all this entailed jim harbaugh winning tho

if tcu loses, they’re prob still in but osu can still absolutely get in if the trojans blow it

SEC's dominance is built upon a willingness to spend money to win despite sanity (after all what are welfare funds for but building stadiums), but I really think their conference talent is a step above.

I got a feeling OSU (or Michigan) would not be able to run the gauntlet schedule without losing at least 2 or 3 games. I think even this uneven Alabama team is still better and LSU or Tennessee before Hooker got hurt could beat them. Even Ole Miss on a good day probably could beat them.

Georgia could have a bad game or play dumb, but I don't see any of these teams beating them. Michigan might have enough defense if they stay healthy to slow them up a bit and stay in a game.

a willingness to spend money to win despite sanity

agree that the SEC is dominant, but . . . i mean nebraska just signed *matt rhule* to an eight-year deal, having just given scott frost a $16.4 million buyout as a reward for being incredibly awful

the money being thrown around -- by public schools, no less -- is absurd, but at least in the SEC they have some good teams

Even Ole Miss on a good day probably could beat them.

suing for defamation

it might "just mean more" in the sec, which is probably why people perceive lsu (#15 sp+) and ole miss (#14 sp+) to be vastly superior to minnesota (#16 sp+) and illinois (#17 sp+)

it's the U of U for U

Caleb Williams Heisman posed vs a team that lost to Marshall and then took his second L to Utah.

give the heisman to donoblake corumwards

Mike Leach in critical condition, a "personal health issue"...he'd made a lot of sideways comments and dissembling remarks about covid vaccines

it was a heart attack

Mike Leach, Mississippi State football's innovative and influential coach, dies at 61 https://t.co/e81EEL0C84

— Clarion Ledger (@clarionledger) December 13, 2022

fascinating character, obv his politics were terrible but he had a massive impact on football. good thread about it here

Incredibly momentous for football that Mike Leach has passed away. It is no understatement whatsoever to say that Leach fundamentally changed football forever, and I am not sure there was any more influential coach in the last 40 years, when you include high school and college.🧵

I guess he was technically my "coworker" in washington. I'd see him walking to work a lot, and he'd stop for coffee pretty regularly at the place I'd hang out. I never talked to him but shitty politics aside the baristas liked him and by all accounts he was kind of a fascinating weirdo.

he had mixed feelings on coffee lol

v. sad to see dabo lose; i'm sure it was all because his players were distracted by NILs or wokeism or something

i presume this has happened before when january 1 falls on a sunday but it remains weird to me that the orange bowl happened on 12/30 and there are no college bowl games at all on new year's day

I watched a few minutes of Clemson and Tennessee and decided that was way too much orange for an Orange bowl.

Georgia will probably smoke OSU, but I keep having an odd feeling the Buckeyes might upset them too.

I really want to see Michigan win it all myself, but I am not getting my hopes up.

Right now looks like Michigan is going to lay a big dooker on the field. Every big 12 game is like 52-50 and so far the Woolverines not looking too good.

I could not have cared less about Georgia football before I had a child attend that school. Now . . . Go Dawgs. It should be a thumping.

don't normally root for texans or christians, and i <3 voodoo chili, but . . . lol fuck jim harbaugh

weird game, lots of things that shouldn’t have happened did

worst part is that this was a golden opportunity to maybe beat osu in a rematch and win the title. gonna get much harder once the playoff field expands to 12 teams

Both those games were pretty wacky.

Big 10 fails again.

We were worn out after the craziness of TCU/Michigan and were telling each other "Thank goodness our game won't be like that" ... and then it was so much worse. As Kirby Smart said afterwards, OSU deserved to win. Maybe he'll get Georgia coached up better for TCU and spare our nerves a little. Go Dawgs, sic 'em, etc.

former Minnesota Gophers head coach Tim Brewster continues to be just an amazing weird/jackass even for college football

Tim Brewster continues to be a piece of work 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ @jgkfan https://t.co/JCHtJKCMVx

rip 'schemy'

Three days after he was hired at Michigan, Glenn "Shemy" Schembechler, son of longtime Wolverines coach Bo Schembechler, resigned following social media activity that has "caused concern and pain," according to a statement from the school.

On Wednesday, Schembechler announced he had been hired as Michigan's assistant director of football recruiting. He tweeted: "I'm beyond honored to return home to @UMichFootball! #GoBlue always and forever!"

A source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN that Schembechler went through a thorough background check during the hiring process.

His Twitter account, @shemyscout, was deactivated on Saturday. Schembechler had been a longtime NFL scout, most recently with the Las Vegas Raiders until February. He also scouted for Washington, Chicago and Kansas City. Schembechler spent more than a decade working for Washington's organization.

According to the Detroit News, Schembechler's Twitter timeline had a number of posts and "likes" of multiple offensive and insensitive posts, including several suggesting slavery and Jim Crow were a positive to strengthen Black individuals and families.

you’re goddamned right pat fitzgerald ordered the code red

lol

Seems he was at least not doing enough to protect his student athletes in the locker room. I don't think ignorance is a great defence here.
