No joke, I’m pretty sure that game was on espn2 or something, but the CW would get better numbers with a rerun of Gunsmoke.

The Purdue stats are misleading imo. Giving up 200 rushing would be alarming if it was against a balanced team that had the forward pass as part of their arsenal. Purdue is not that. They are the quintessential caveman B1G team that couldn’t manage to get 100 yards passing for the game. 40 rushing attempts in a game you lose by 35 at home? That’s dysfunctional imo. I’d take those stats every single time.

I’d simplify it to scoring 30.

Hilarity! In all the recent shenanigans which has resulted in me paying more attention to them than the last 10 years combined, one thing is becoming clear to me. They really think that OBD sit around coming up with strategies fixated on them. In one anecdote I recently saw by one of their admins at one of their sites…dude was railing on how classless all “hole” fans are and described how much classier he is with one exception. If he sees a “hole” fan wearing #3, he will always whisper just loud enough for them to hear, “5 picks” Zinger! Case closed, no coming back from that! After googling that “zinger”, I did vaguely recall Joey was #3, and had 5 picks a quarter of a century ago in a Civil War game. Keep clinging to memories Beavis, it’s over.

They’ve no doubt had injuries, but I think that’s really one of the big points. When you only have 5-6 really good players on the entire roster, as is the case with most of the G6, you have a good chance of doing okay against a P4 in September and bowl games when you’re healthy. Different story in October.

Nope. Them turning on the MWC with lawsuits when there was an easy solution right in front of them closed the door for me. The PIG-2 continues to live up to the name, burning bridges left and right so their accounting teams can pretend to be low-end P4’s for two years. I’m rooting for the MWC all the way moving forward.

To me the, the picked up flag was egregious. That was plain as day and there was a reason they threw the flag to begin with. The rest are explainable, garden variety missed calls. I don’t think anyone is out to get us, you’ll see the same complaints at any team site about how Oregon got all the calls.

Hard for me to take a team seriously that just gave up 49 to Purdue, at home, in the last couple weeks.

It’s a long season, lets see who emerges and is playing significant time/starting as we grind on.

I mean, most teams have nothing to lose when playing #1 on the road.

Plenty of action! Cal UNLV FSU Army and Navy, if they’re playing Whoever is playing ISU and BYU in the B12 Anyone with more than 1 loss in the SEC

Fentress is ok, but definitely goes out of his way to be the villain. When he starts trying too hard is when he strays into being annoying.

What’s extra funny is many of their fans are expecting a big recruiting year to draw ‘em in, because, ya know, they were in the old PAC. So they’ll be at the same talent level they were at in 2023, so good shot for 11-1 right? Going to be rough.

It’s only 12, BYE isn’t a school

Reality still not quite setting in, they’ll explain away going 6-6 this year. Going 5-7, at best, with that trash schedule next year, might make things more clear.

We are stacked to the gills with talent. Now that things are rolling and consistent, I would expect our recruiting classes in the future to be under 25 players every year. As to the QB observations and the portal. I believe we are doing it perfectly as is. A high profile transfer took the job this year and we are currently developing 3 guys that I believe were all 4 stars or higher out of HS…not sure how to do it any better than that.

Total blowhard IMO. Why is he "very disgusted"? It's not like he went there.

I'd say 100%. Sometimes it doesn't feel like it, but schools that are what I call arbitrary powers can fall off. Yale is STILL #1 for number of CFB championships. Oklahoma is #9 on that list, but it has now been a quarter of a century since they won one. Finish 10th place in your new conference a few years in a row and suddenly you're some school in the middle of nowhere that seems like ancient history.

Tough one, I’d give the edge to FSU. Not sure how you go from undefeated regular season to what they are now. They’re just awful. At least U$C is only “4 plays away” from undefeated. One could also make a strong case for Oklahoma. First year in the SEC is a BAD time to disappear. If they don’t right the ship next year they could become the next Nebraska.

These talking-heads really don’t like to be wrong, and most of them picked tOSU. Pick apart reality enough and you become correct.

It’s not totally hands down imo. Georgia beat Texas and Clemson (both top 10 now) as well as played Alabama even though they narrowly lost. Not sure how legitimate BSU really is given Idaho did just about as well against us, that was all about OBD, not BSU.

The same Illini that gave up 49 at home to Purdue just last week. As I rewatch the game with that lens I don’t even see how that’s possible, but cool, they’re #20! Favored by 25 over a ranked team is a bit hilarious, but I’ll take it if the public wants to believe Illinois is good.

One of the best resumes and undefeated, so yes.

My school!

This. Everyone keeps talking about how we’re going to Hoth. Odds are very high the weather will be just as bad in Eugene those two weeks. We’ve regularly had November games in places like Utah, Pullman, Seattle, Boulder, Corvallis, and Eugene. We aren’t from San Diego.
