I also love how the poptart mascots are basically eaten by players or other mascots. Or at least they did last year. It's a really wacky bowl game. Last year Miami and MC in that game was hilarious because he didn't want to lean into the wackiness of the bowl game.

Still in the stop gap range. He's in his 70s does he want to coach beyond 5 years? Probably not... But he has enough time to right the ship and make a run of it.

This feels like a stop gap hire. Without seeing the contract and being in the room I'm not sure how long they are anticipating Whittingham to be there. I kinda think 2-3 seasons. Enough time to get Michigan on track and make the playoff a time or two before looking for a younger coach. Or ... Not. More resources makes some elements of coaching easier and others a whole lot more difficult... Namely the expectations. Whittingham has always been a coach to get more from less but as we've seen that doesn't always translate to higher level programs.

I watched some of the lions and Vikings... Because it was on. I don't usually watch the NFL.

Just win and I won't care!

I think we are approaching peak offense. If Moore and the receivers perform just as cleanly as they did in the first half against JMU I think we stand a great chance. Yes, Moore had two interceptions. One was a fluke that should have been an incomplete pass but bounced right into the hands of a DB. There was also a collision between the receiver and another defender a few seconds earlier in the play but as it was before the ball was in the air it was not PI. The second was a bad pass that just kinda floated while Moore was pressured. However, Kamari Johnson did fall down which left the lane open for an uncontested interception. I think the decision to go there was the right one for Moore as that seemed like a hot route and Johnson was in isolation. He was bigger than the defender and if he didn't lose his feet he could have either caught the ball and put muscled the receiver for the TD or just deflected the ball for an incompletion. Both happened but I don't think either was super egregious just not ideal.

Notre Dame just needs to join a conference. Even make a short term deal with the ACC and reevaluate after 5 years. If they were in the ACC this year they probably would have won the conference and then be in the playoff over Miami. Then playing USC earlier in the year doesn't effect their playoff chances as much.

His growth this second half of the seasons has been significant. He used to either make a bug play or get 2 while running into a pile of linemen. His vision has improved considerably in games. I've been yelling at the TV for years as Whittington healthy or not has made both good and bad plays. But he is consistently getting good yardage now and that's because he's seeing the game better.

Yeah I knew we wouldn't win it. I figured we'll be finalists again next year and not win it next year too..

Need Davison and his power running and blocking. Also did anyone else notice how little Whittington played against JMU?

Oregon v Ohio State!!!! Winner: OREGON Other winners: everyone who can't stand Finebaum who will probably lose it completely if that comes to pass.

I think his completion percent is a bit lower than what Oregon is looking for.

Especially after two weeks of fairly consistent rain.

Oh I've been there! And... yeah a loss to Texas Tech would really suck.

I always find the idea of _______ or bust to be an interesting mentality. The season is a book and each game is its own little chapter in that book. If Oregon wins the National Championship this year that makes this an INCREDIBLE year and you put that book on the shelf as a part of a longer Oregon Football history. But if we fail to reach the title game or a semi final game or whatever was this season just a waste? Personally, I have enjoyed the journey so far this year (minus the one bump) and I am excited to see how it all ends, though I would personally love to see it end on a win and there is only one way that happens. Maybe I just don't get on the "bust" mentality. I want a national title as much as any other Duck fan but I know that each season brings its own story and I'm here for that.
