Ah, was this that video you posted the other day of some woman with lots of dudees?

That was surprisingly hilarious.

They did a great job of attacking the hype around Colorado without taking any actual shots at Colorado or Prime. Well, except for the music thing. WTF?

UNC should be 9-0 with 3 easy wins over the next 3 weeks (94%, 81%, and 99% chance of winning per ESPN). Then 3 harder games (Duke, Clemson, NCSU) to finish.

At least we finally get to find out what's going on in the B10 with PSU + OSU this week.

I'm not feeling confident heading into that game.

I can't remember the last time you felt confident about your team.

I have been beaten down by bad losses.

I'm a realist, so I usually see flaws rather than hype. I know where my teams can be beaten versus what their strengths are. I'll never be the irrational confidence sports guy.

In its statement, the NCAA cited "new information" and blamed North Carolina for not providing it earlier, but UNC chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said that info was "immediately gathered and submitted." Meanwhile, Walker said, "It was the same information we've been trying to give them and tell them that they've been reading for the last 10 months, so there was no new information." (The NCAA declined further comment for this story, citing federal privacy laws and pointing to its previous statements on the case.)

What games? To us a couple of times? Then playoff games? I mean, you lost to us, and STILL made the playoffs. How is that a bad team? Three losses over two years isn't a case for "bad losses".

Fuck it. You're right. Ohio State sucks. :D

Yeah, just imagine how the other 650 teams feel. (Including D3, NAIC(?) or whatnot)

Iowa. Purdue. The robbery when we lost to Clemson. Getting routed by Bama. Losing an almost sure win to Georgia last year. 2x to TTUN (3 after this year). The home and home with Oklahoma. Texas is in there somewhere. The two blowouts back when it was the CFP. And so on. I remember them all.

Sure, it's not losing to App St and Toledo at home in the same season. However, it's losses on the biggest stage, which means it gets covered endlessly. If we lose to PSU this week, it's not as bad. People discuss PSU's chances at a title, OSU is considered rebuilding, and it's not discussed endlessly. Same as how Bama already losing this year was treated.

And I know we're a good team. However, we definitely have not matched our recruiting and talent. That sucks.

NCAA investigating TTUN for sign stealing.
According to a report by Yahoo Sports, Michigan allegedly had people attending games of future opponents as well as possible College Football Playoff opponents to gather information on signs used to call plays on offense and defense.
Yes, that's against the rules.

I will withhold all comments until the investigation is over, but man Ryan Day has to feel pretty vindicated and pissed right now.

And again, if true, yet another reason why Harbaugh will be gone after this year. That Chargers job is going to be open. No way he turns down California and Justin Herbert, and runs from whatever punishment this will have.

How real is the story? Las Vegas books have sent out alerts about it. So there's something to this.

Scapegoat suspended.

This isn't a good look for TTUN at all. Harbaugh denies knowing anything, but the B1G and NCAA say it's been going on since 2021. Why is he on the sidelines with the coaches during games? He's a recruiting assistant, not a coach.

Also, he flies everywhere on his own dime, so why would he keep doing that if they're not using his info?
