Bama losing an important D lineman.

Meanwhile, a Bama DB went viral this weekend for the wrong reasons.

Does he know the NFL puts a lot of weight on character, particularly when your talent isn't so out of this world that nobody cares?

Buckeyes down to 4 after losing on the road by 1 to #3 is shockingly fair. B1G sits in the 2, 3, and 4 spots. They play #3 in 2 weeks. Win that and they're back on track. Lose and the season is over.

BTW, yeah, they lost because they got fucked on a terrible offensive PI call that took them out of chip shot FG range with 6 seconds left. However, it's a wash because earlier they were granted a first down on a play that should have been ruled an INT. These things balance out.

Lanning admits Oregon took advantage of a rule to win.

Honestly, very clever. However, now that he exposed it, I think we'll see a rule change in the post season. I think the obvious correct would be the offense gets the down over (if a negative play) and 1 play without a clock.

If you know college football, this is funny.

Lol.

Yeah, intentionally putting on 12 needs to be fixed.

Nobody has more wins against #2 in college football history than Purdue.

No, it wasn't, but I think she's showcasing where OSU fans are with Day. (She's an OSU fan.)

The whole Day situation is weird and sucks. Day is a legit coach and a better human being, but he's not winning the big games lately. (We'll see in two weeks when he faces #3 PSU...although does any win against James Franklin count?)

The staff is solid and there are studs everywhere, but it's clear they're not getting the best out of the players outside of WR and RB, particularly on the D line (looking at you 80 year old Larry Johnson who is also no longer a great recruiter). Jim Knowles I've been really patient with because he's also a great guy, but his defenses have been shit in big games.

I don't think it'd be going out on a limb to say that if Day loses another regular season game this year and misses the playoffs, he's out. Hell, I'd add that he needs to make a run in the playoffs too.

Mike Vrabel is out there and a lot of boosters are clamoring to bring him in as the HC.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike the rest of the world, I do not count 3 of the losses to the cheaters against the coaches.

Watching the Miami-Louisville game.

Michael Irving is there and he looks insane. His hair style is a choice.

Also, Louisville just had a call go against them that I think they got wrong. Ward got hit and fumbled, which was picked up by the D and returned for a TD. The ruling came in that his hand was going forward, but if you watch the replay, the ball is hit before his hand goes forward. Thus, his hand still makes the ball move forward, but he didn't have a grasp on it anymore.

Do they just always walk on the field after a game? Maybe because they got bowl eligibility? Like...?
