Just the guy cheerleaders. 🙃

Yes, the Pop Tarts are fun. And not gross like the bowl game where they dump mayonnaisse on the coach--yuck!

I don't have Netflix or Prime, so no football games for me. I did watch A Christmas Story. I've enjoyed that movie ever since the first time we saw it when it came out in the theaters. Listened to Jean Shepard on the radio when I was growing up in Connecticut.

Merry Christmas and Go Ducks to all!

From Ken Woody (underline mine): Oregon’s offensive and defensive linemen’s pad level, follow through and leg drive diminished in the second half—it made their effort look half-hearted. These fundamentals brought success during the season, but were noticeably absent as the game progressed. Although there were a number of backup players in the game at times, Lanning will point out that they were not meeting the standard set during the long, rigorous season. The film will show every bad habit that can undo a good offense and make it sputter, even against lesser athletes.

SO MANY teams have red as their color. Love the way the green and yellow stands out in the crowd. 🙂

On the one hand, Michigan is a long time, big time program. On the other hand, what mess to step into.

I think it's likely that Moore is clinically depressed.

Is the staff member underage or something???

And him with 3 daughters. 😟

While I've always been doubtful about the Navy Seal, or no-water-when-it's-hot type of practices, this barely-practice approach a surprise to me. It's certainly worked for Indiana so far this year, though.

Have also been wondering about what the playoff committee would do in that scenario...
