  1. Yeah, the rest of the Natty's after will just fill up space.
  2. Four out of the B1G's 18 teams have emerged as contenders. USC is 4 plays away from being on top of course and will spend the rest of the season fighting for bowl eligibility. Ohio State's talent is obvious, but its having trouble lately finding its game. Indiana is living the dream, but it could get a wake up call as the competition stiffens from now on. Penn State hosts Ohio State this week. Penn State hasn't beaten Ohio State in a long time, but Ohio State needs to win this one. Oregon needs to keep on keeping on against Michigan. Upsets did seem more likely in the Pac-12 than they do in the B1G. The bottom 14 can knock off each other but are unlikely to take down any of the top 4. The top 4 are the most complete teams, their offensive diversity, strength in the trenches and defensive backs standout.
  3. Oregon won't get better PR than that article. The writer just kept listing the ways it was Oregon > Ohio State. The fans are disinterested, students drift in around the end of the 1st quarter. Oregon has, "Shout". Ohio State has, "Hang on, Sloopy" The columnist corroborates what we all thought. Ohio State is stodgy, old money. They spent $20 M in NIL, shouldn't that have been enough to win the B1G again? Michigan's rebuilding. They heard about the noise at Autzen. Bu they took it as seriously as they took the Ducks football team. Oregon, the team and the fans did break Ohio State.
  4. I hear ya. The announcers are at the game, loaded with cards full of information to sprinkle through the games. Unfortunately it's rarely updated, and now we'll all be waiting for the Tez-Bo connection. Back in the day, Keith Jackson. Verne Lundquist, didn't have filler, and John Madden of course.
  5. If Oregon State can somehow merge their game broadcasts with the Cindy Crawford infomercials that usually air on the CW when the games aren't on, the viewership would pick up.
  6. This is why this Forum is so great. I never thought about that! Go Penn State!!! Wanting tOSU to lose just feels better anyway.
  7. “They can throw the ball" "But he’s also proven to have the ability to pass." Oregon HC Dan Lanning is wary of both of Michigan's quarterbacks WWW.YARDBARKER.COM If this were a year ago, a matchup between Oregon and Michigan would have been a headliner. It's still an important game for both...
  8. Oregon has been working on the pipeline from South Cali for decades and the Trojans have tried to patch, but I guess they used Duckt tape and it didn't work.
  9. You know, losing a starter on the DL, especially a Dude! Can be something a team just can't overcome. Except...
  10. Absolutely, Texas was supported before, now They're SEC. Miami is off the relic heap, nary a mention that they're 3 Review call reversals from being 5-3, tOSU, laughably easy non-con schedule, L at Oregon. "If that game was at a neutral field!"
  11. tOSU has been off its game since losing @ Oregon, a loss to Penn State, after scraping by Nebraska I can see them just throwing in the cards and calling it a Day.
  12. I supported anybody getting mad at Leach for anything, RIP.
  13. Joel Full of KLATT says he now understands why Oregon, Gabriel might not have been firing on all cylinders at the start of the season. But in the last two weeks he insisted that the trip to Purdue, mixed with the inevitable hangover from beating Ohio State, would be too much for Oregon to handle and it would be a close call. 35-0. Next week, Illinois, top 20, traditional B1G team coming into Autzen to take on Oregon, still without Burch, "21.5 is too much, it's just too much". 38-9.
  14. Yes. In basketball there are flagrant 1 and flagrant 2 penalties, 2 being the worst. In football, there should be targeting 1 & targeting 2. Launching, head to head should qualify as 2, with ejection. Now, it doesn't need to be head to head, any contact in the head area constitutes targeting, but shoulder to head should be targeting 2, 15 yard penalty, no ejection.
  15. It's not like with Washington, where I simply can't ever want them to win, with Ohio State, but I'm inclined to hope they lose. For quite a few weeks I've been sure that I wanted Penn State to win. It's hard to beat a good team twice in a row, so I didn't want the Buckeyes to beat the Ducks in the B!G Championship game, and Penn State just hasn't looked that good to me, and I didn't think they could beat Ohio State. But the way that the Buckeyes have played since the Ducks have me thinking that playing them again, in Indy, wouldn't be that bad. It's a home game for Penn State, they haven't beaten Ohio State in a while, Day can't win these games. So, I don't care who wins. It will probably come down to a play review.
  16. Today, there would be a flag on this one. For something.
  17. It's really unlikely that the loser of this game plays in a bowl game.
  18. Yeah. it's tricky. While this D is not allowing explosive plays, it's not allowing nearly as many 3rd down conversions, so the other teams aren't having as many long drives. BBDB isn't a term I'd use to describe this defense.
  19. Officiating has succumbed to what has taken college football to the road it now travels. It has become more than anything else, Entertainment, more like real life reality shows like "Survivor" than it was 40 years ago. The NCAA could have prevented a lot of this if they had dealt with growing contempt of the student athletes for everybody else getting rich at their expense, but the NCAA punted. Now it's NIL and the Transfer Portal. Officiating has always been problematic, and the technology now exacerbates it. Big screens in the stadiums, slow motion video on TV. As much as fans don't like the interruption of play by a video review, it's Must See TV.
  20. Trojans fans and Cal & Stanford fans are not all that different, nor are Lakers, Rams and Dodgers. Chargers and Clippers will always be step kids. All due respect to McKay and Robinson, at that time and same for Carroll, it didn't take a lot to recruit to USC. Carroll's coaching strategy was to get the ball to Reggie Bush. He did see the end coming and went to the NFL. Since then, not nearly enough W's to keep the front running LA fans interested. When the Trojans are The Show! the fans are there. They did make the right decision, picking Riley, Lanning wouldn't work at USC.
  21. Gotta love the fans, more noise from a UW kennel: I'm still ticked that they scoured our incoming class and opened the checkbook to grab one of our best commits from us. This is nothing new though. They did the same with Muhammad and I'm sure this trend will continue unless the NCAA ever cracks down on them. NIL is not working as it was intended to. It's a free-for-all out there..... SMH.... yeah. They've been cheating for what.... about 20 years now.
  22. SUC and Udud are both 4-4 and playing for bowl eligibility! SUC @ Udud Nebraska UCLA Notre Dame I see a possible win this week and against UCLA, so they do need the win. Udud USC @ Penn State UCLA @ Oregon They definitely need the W this week, UCLA is the only other W I see.
  23. "Definitely excited. Good. We like that. Bring 'em on, bring the No. 1 team in here. I know we can handle it. We're more than capable of taking these guys on. I just think it's a really exciting opportunity for us. I know we're going to attack it with the same way we attacked this week," said Warren. Yes, attack Oregon the same way you attacked Michigan State.

  24. Picking SUC or Udud is like choosing between a root canal or a colonoscopy.
