Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted 13 hours ago Madison, Wisconsin, Saturday, November 16th, OBD defeats the Badgers, winning eight games in a row versus B1G foes to go 11-0. Huzzah! Chicago, Illinois, B1G HQ, Tuesday, November 19th, sometime after a B1G Lunch. (Burp.) Congratulations Ducks! On Saturday night you clinched a conference champ game berth and another trip back East, this time to Indianapolis. How good can it get, right? Chicago, Illinois, B1G HQ, November 19th, sometime after Tea + Crumpets. Commissioner Tony Petitti - I am delighted to announce that we will be trading in our Abacus for something called a 'Computer?' ............................................................................................................................................................ Friday, October 13, 1307: Agents of King Phillip of France arrest every Knights Templar they can find on trumped-up charges of heresy. The Templars' true crime: Phil owed them a lot of dough. This led to the superstition that Friday the 13th is cursed and the general superstition that the number 13 is cursed. Ask Astronaut Jim Lovell who was in command of Apollo 13. Week 13 is the penultimate week of the 2024/25 regular season. It's a good week to chill out and watch the Hoosiers battle the Bucks for the right to play OBD in Indy. (It's also a good time to stock up on comic books, coloring books, crayons, and knitting needles in anticipation of a long offseason. ) Of course, OBD fans are hoping for five more games to be played: UWho, B1G Champ Game, Rose Bowl, Cotton or Orange Bowl, and The BIGGEE in Atlanta on January 20, 2025. Six games left if OBD does not Win the Day in Indy. 11/30/24 - UWho comes to Autzen for a visit, with Dan Lanning hoping to end the 0-3 dog poop nonsense. UW is 6-5 and bowl eligible. Jedd Fisch who lost Forty Players from the 2023/24 College Football runner-up team, has done an excellent job to have this team bowl-eligible; especially, after losing a winnable game vs. Wazzu early in the season and going 0-5 on the road to date. UW has been in every game this season, except the White Out in Nittany Valley, largely due to the play of Steve Belichick's defense, No. 17 in the nation, surrendering 4.80 yards per play. True Frosh Desmond Williams, JR. could get the start against OBD after being named B1G Freshman of the Week for his play versus UCLA. Fisch Won't Reveal His Starting QB Before UW-Oregon Game WWW.SI.COM Three days after leading the University of Washington football team to 17 second-half points and a 31-19 victory over UCLA, quarterback Demond Williams Jr. crea Bowl-eligible UWho will come into Autzen with nothing to lose. This is the Puppies Super Bowl before possibly heading to El Paso on 12/31/24, or being shuffled off to Shreveport. Conference Champ Game - 12/7/24. A 12-0 Ducks team is odds-on to play 11-1 Ohio State in the B1G Champ Game. The Bucks are favored by 3-points. The winner of this game is odds-on to be the Playoff No. 1 seed and play on January 1, 2025, in the Rose Bowl. the Ohio State University - Jim Knowles Buckeyes D is 1st in Scoring Defense, 3rd Yards Per Rush, and 3rd in Yards Per Play, 4.26 yards. Against OBD, Ohio State gave up 32 points, 341 passing yards, 7.6 yards per play, and had ZERO sacks. Think the Bucks D will be fired up vs the Ducks? A Rose Bowl appearance by OREGON would duplicate its 2015 Rose Bowl to kick off the 4-Team Playoff. The Ducks, beat up, and beat down Dumbo, er Jimbo, and Jameis, 59-20. But the game was close, right, Jameis? Here's hoping OBD has Tez and all other dinged-up Ducks on deck for the B1G game in Indy. ................................................................................................................... Going bowling is not what it once was but is still important to teams trying to improve, teams that can use the extra practices. B1G teams that are post-season eligible - OREGON, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Rutgers. 1 Win Away - Michigan, a tough follow up to a Champ season. Wisconsin, USC , and Nebraska, a team that has been Bowl Schucked since 2016 and whose fans live in the Demonic 7th Circle of One-Score Losses. 2 Wins Away - UCLA, Michigan State, Northwestern, and Maryland.
