Well, you were pretty wrong!! Why is his job on the line? You guys keep winning games. The only one you haven't won is the big one (but only twice), which I realize is a big deal. Is that it? Or is there something else? I mean, it's not like you guys are doing bad.

Day has a losing record against TTUN, and they're likely to lose to them again this year. That alone will get you fired. John Cooper won well over 80% of his games at OSU and recruited better than anyone in the nation, but was something like 2-11 against TTUN. That got him fired.

Meanwhile, OSU is doing ok, but not great, and Day is getting a rep for losing big games.

The bar is very high at OSU, and the last two coaches won national titles. Day, despite being a fantastic human being, is on a shorter leash than others.

I'm not sure about the game this year. While I do feel like we have a better team right now, our schools have a habit of fucking up each other's seasons. Also, since we are pretty much untested this entire season, will we really be prepared for it?

And here's to hoping you wait till 2-11 again before firing him!

WSU and OSU have contended that each of the 10 departing schools' announcements that they will move to new conferences next year qualifies as a notification to withdraw from the Pac-12, which would, per conference bylaws, removed their voting power. That precedent was set, they argued, when USC and UCLA no longer had voting power when they announced they were joining the Big Ten in the summer of 2022.
I'm with WSU and OSU here.

As am I.

Let WSU and OreSt have the Pac-12 and rebuild it themselves.

They should settle out of court:
-WSU and OreSt get the Pac-12 name and logo.
-They can add new members.
-They can claim the history of the Pac-12, but can not reference or show the outgoing teams/players, use them in marketing, etc.
-They get to keep the records, but ALL records much be archived when the other teams leave. A new era of records can be kept after that.
-They cannot do anything to negatively affect the outgoing members.
-All members leaving will always hold the right to return and must be accepted automatically.

Or something like that.

Colorado had a 29-0 lead at home at halftime against 1-4 Stanford and lost 46-43 in 2OT. Check out that win probability chart. I've never seen one like that before.

Shedeur Sanders is awesome, but he's the most sacked QB in college football. Their line does suck, but I've heard people theorizing that he won't throw the ball away because he doesn't want the incompletions to hurt his stats. I really hope that's not true.

Check out the Miami - Ga Tech one! (99.9% to 0% in 30 seconds)

I've seen a few like that, but damn that's embarrassing. Nice to see Colorado playing at their real level.

Yeah, they never deserved to be ranked ;)

They did.

Also, ND is housing undefeated USC, so OSU is even better than people realize. :wink:

Lol. Seriously, look at the 5 teams they beat. Paper bags put up a better fight.

Tez Walker came back at the right time

6 receptions, 132 yards, 3 TDs and 2-19 running.

The O-Line is our biggest weakness, again. We might jump to 10 with USC + Oregon losing. Maybe we jump Alabama based on their terrible win over Arkansas? :)

They did if LSU and other SEC teams deserved to be ranked. Also, you're lucky you said paper bag and not Dillon Danis because that would be a real insult.

Going back to my first point, "any win against an SEC team just counts for more." Records, SOS, recruiting classes, etc. don't matter. Just hype.

LSU played some good decent teams. Maryland played shit teams and never deserved it.

I guess I need to google that.

Always. You could have a P12 team win the whole thing, and I'd still say they didn't deserve it.

I think it's the reverse... recruiting classes, etc do matter, so the SEC keeps getting hype.

At the end of the day, there's just never enough games to know jack in the regular season, except inside a given conference.

He's the guy that has been shit talking Logan Paul so much that it resulted in a lawsuit. He was mainly going after Logan's fiancé. They "fought" last night and Dillon had his hands up the whole time. He threw 9 punches in a 6 round fight...

This is why the system is broken. SEC gets constant hype from ESPN, which helps recruiting. The problem is ESPN owns the rights to the SEC, and thus, makes money off of hyping them.
