Refs took a touchdown away and we lost by one score to Minnesota. I feel like I've seen that story before. 

Every year when I start drinking Kool aid I forget that we have to play vs the refs in every conference game still for some reason

Question is, will he have the ball secured in his hands when he does so?

Depends what refs we get on that one. How long will he have to be down before he allowed to let go of the ball?

Beyond giving up ~$5 million per school (when factoring in the other repayments), it is the fact that the commissioner of the league couldn't perform the basics of due diligence. This TV contract deal is arguably the core piece of the commissioner's job and he couldn't even take that across the finish line. The move also soured the Fox/Big Ten relationship which is being mended, but could take some time. Combined with his other poor performances (ie - handling Covid & 2020 season), there are plenty of examples of poor leadership. 

 

One could argue that franchise has been dysfunctional for years 

Oh yeah I wasn't trying to overall defend Warren I know he not great. Just wondering if we still came out overwhelming positive on this deal plus get to watch on NBC which has really been the best in terms of broadcast fidelity although the others have caught up somewhat. 

@Mavric I'm not really sure how all that works and if we know for sure the total but a lot of people are saying we still netted billions on that deal. Why would be care about having to pay 40 mil back?

I thought we should blame the white supremacist for adopting it to mean “white power.”

Good luck with this one. Literal Nazis could take it over and people would say well people on both sides are wrong. They would tell them to stand down and stand by.

could happen. But I’m guessing his combine numbers come in closer to 5’11” and low to mid 4.4’s.  Could be way wrong but watching him he looks a lot more in that neighborhood. No way he’s 4.3. 

He is 

Not sure the best place to put this, but I just talked to someone that works where Ochaun is working out preparing for the draft. He said he is making gains way faster compared to everyone else and the trainers are laughing about how bad our strength staff must have been. I'm sure that's common in a lot of industries to call out the previous work as shoddy but a lot of smoke that the previous staff was meh.

D-1 basketball talent. Seems like a lot of the best tight ends were ballers on the hardwood. Raw but he has a ton of upside. 

Yeah just watch any broadcast with a TE that played basketball. The announce team will make sure to bring it up like 19 times. It's like a WR being roommates with the QB.

They're starting a new round of CFB Risk tonight, if anyone wants to play. IDK if I'm gonna play this time around, though.

 

 

I think I'm gonna skip too. I'm still a little upset they kicked me out of the discord for getting mad when they tagged everyone and spoiled a TD score. I feel like that's a obvious unwritten rule to not spoil in the middle of a game.

I admit to being a little surprised that Farrell went with Nebraska.  I figured it would be Georgia.

 

And I didn't expect a lot of debate on this site.

 

But the 1994 team wasn't nearly as dominant as the 1995.  Obviously our QB situation had a lot to do with that.  But after a really good start we went through a stretch where we only beat a 6-6 Wyoming team by 10, KSU (who was pretty solid) by 11, an 0-10-1 Iowa State team by 16 and a 6-6 Oklahoma by 10.

To fair though the Georgia team this year really didn't face any team that really felt like a championship team and still had close games. I feel like this year for them was a pretty easy road to win and still they got extremally lucky to barely beat OSU. Them getting that time out in on the fake punt and then not only did they knock out OSUs WR cold, they didnt get a clear targeting or personal foul at least on it to give OSU a chance to take a lead that wins the game. 

I think their teams are flipped from ours where 2021 was their best team and 2022 was more just willing themselves to the title. And in 2021 if they played in a non playoff era they wouldn't even have had a shot. Its pretty nice to be able to basically get two chances to beat a team for the championship and they lose their two best WR(2 1st round NFL WRs) the 2nd time you play. You could tell how bad Alabama's offense fell off this year without their WRs. Clearly not the same team.

Mayne it's about Zavier Betts?

Man he looks like a giant compared to those DBs. It would be more useful to have him play DE but also he could be a real weapon at WR. 

I like the sketchiness of the old one personally, but the new one is a proper logo. I get why they want to change it to that.

I would be willing to bet the 4 year average for the 2 teams last night probably was the biggest differential between 2 teams in the championship as far back as recruiting ranking go. Its honestly crazy TCU even got there.

In the mid 2000s the Texans hired a WR coach who had no coordinator experience prior and maybe only got the job because of who his dad was.  In a few years he was OC. Less than an decade after that he led the best offense in the league to the SB. He's a HC now and one of the best offensive minds in the game without question.

Fairly disappointing to go this kind of a route for me. He doesn’t have the skills to be the guy you want in the pocket when it’s 3rd & long. Which is where we’ve struggled off & on for quite a while.

 

I understand that in a rebuild in year zero you just get the best talent you can and hope something shakes out.

 

But it’s just weird because literally one of the first things out of Rhule’s mouth as head coach when asked about what kind of offense he’ll run was “we’re not going to be a spread offense.”    

I don't think the issue with us has been not converting 3rd and long. The problem is we can get consistently stuffed running the ball and end up in 3rd and longs. Then we relied on Martinez to pull off some superman play and bail us out. That really applies to more than just 3rd and long too.

The first one is the Ducks dropping the bag on Cornelius. 

 

The second one is Miami (The U) dropping bags to get someone.

 

 

Anyone see that a lot of Oregon fans are super upset about this tweet? Kind of hilarious honestly

Ok….but, we only have two more spots for full time coaches. So, we can’t have all three. 

I thought we only have 7 right now. Am I missing one?

OC- Satterfield 

RB- Barthel

OL- Raiola

DC- White

DB- Cooper

DL- Knighton

ST- Foley

I assume this guy has lots of speed, since Rhule is making that a priority?

According to his original HS page on here it sounds like he is a speedster. Looks like people were excited about having a chance at getting him then.

247 but I was off anyway. I'm gonna stop trying to predict and just wait for the dust to settle lol

I actually think it will be 4th and 22nd per the class calculator on 247..

Actually even I was too high it looks like. Something is off with that calculator because when i put in Malachi it showed 222 for the score but they added him and we are only at 210. That puts us 31st and 6th which is still big jumps.

Well are we suppose to get a commit today out of Fields or any other transfers?

Oh im not the person to ask about that. Seems like Lenhardt should be N though and that will bump us up quite a bit.
