It got better! I assume, I didn't watch it.
It did get better, but was still somehow boring. Neither team impressed.

Someone is going to say that and not be joking.

I honestly feel bad for Oregon. Their draw was bullshit. Also, teams on a bye are 0-2 and the third is getting destroyed.

Sure :)

Interesting that the high seeds won all the first round games, then lost all the second round games (1 game left)

Is that bye week actually a curse?

4 weeks ago, no Buckeyes fan would've said this. But damn, they are playing angry right now. This is the team we all expected to see this year.

Had the targeting call stood, ASU probably would have won. They would have been inside the Texas 20 with only seconds left in a tied game.

I liked a couple of UNC football recruiting tweets and now my timeline is just full of it.

I can see why Cake ignores this stuff (and why I used to). It's so much noise.

I'm glad you added that smiley face because "Wiki"? :oops:

And yes, the recruiting stuff is mostly noise. Although, have you heard the rumors about Bill now? This is probably inspired by rivals recruiting against him, but there's talk he'll be a one and done, and that's IF he even coaches a single game. Apparently, his deal says he can walk anytime after June 4th or something.

Buckeyes opened as -9 1/2 favorites against the Irish.

First substantive Bill B recruiting news - Pulls SMU 4* DE to UNC.
247Sports ranks him a four-star prospect and the nation's No. 27 edge rusher.

He has actually only been playing football for three years. He was originally a basketball player who came over from Nigeria to play hoops before being asked to try out for football before his sophomore year.
