  1. Refs were doing their best in the 1st half to give ISU the opportunity to take the lead. When it became clear they couldn’t do it, even with help, in the 3Q they evened it up a little bit at the end. I will say though. That illegal formation penalty was a killer for ISU. Correctly called, but not one that I expected.
  2. The only thing we know for sure is that aggy is going to fuck up this decision in spectacular fashion.
  3. The smart thing would be to hire a G5 up and comer for $4M a year, accept that this is a multi-year rebuild, and lay low for a while. But when has aggy EVER done the smart thing?
  4. There’s no reason at all for Fisher to negotiate against himself like this. He can still take the WVU job and make every bit of the $75M. It seems like the aggy BOR is much more miserable than he is.
  5. I need Liucci to explain how this is the ultimate power move that signals that the sleeping giant is awakening.
  6. Who the hell do they hire to replace him? I would say that you can’t fire Jimbo without a replacement already lined up, but this is aggy.
  7. Pedo state deserved to have their football program disbanded forever. Doesn’t change the fact that Michigan sucks.
  8. So Michigan: 1. Cheated 2. Got caught 3. Wants to play the role of victim Fuck these clowns
  9. Any team with a pulse can sleepwalk their way into 9 wins in the Big10. Their brand of football is total garbage.
  10. Both the father and mother deserve to be in prison also. They’re currently being sued by the feds to return something like $25M of stolen money that was given or “loaned” to them.
  11. At what point does ownership get involved in this issue? Fans aren’t showing up on Sunday to watch Jonnu Smith jet sweeps and to buy a Tyler Allgeier jersey. I know Blank is a “hands off” type of owner but this issue has pretty much gone viral and turned the Falcons into a laughingstock.
  12. Because I hate Big 12 refs and have too much time on my hands I decided to look at the data for this year’s conference games and try to figure out whether there is any validity to the idea that games are called different against us. I looked only at the teams that we have played so far (Kansas, OU, KSU, BYU, Baylor, Houston). Here is what I found: Games not against Texas —— Average penalties: 5.4 Average penalty yards: 48.9 Average opponent penalties: 5.4 Average opponent penalty yards: 45.9 Against Texas —— Average penalties: 3.7 Average penalty yards: 26.0 Average opponent penalties: 6.2 Average opponent penalty yards: 48.5 Conclusions —— Against Texas, an opponent can expect to be called for ~2 fewer penalties and ~26 fewer penalty yards than their average in Big 12 play. They can expect their opponent (Texas) to be called for ~1 additional penalty and ~3 additional penalty yards than average. Officiating crews are, statistically speaking, having a much greater effect by failing to call penalties against our opponents than by calling extra penalties against us. This is consistent with the examination of holding / PI calls posted earlier in the thread.
  13. Fat Gary starting sweating profusely at the thought of these conditions.
  14. WVU is not an easy out this year. They’re 6-3 and should be 7-2 if it wasn’t for the miracle Hail Mary that Cougar High completed against them. The only team with an “easy” remaining schedule is Okie State (UCF - UH - BYU). As long as we take care of business, I think they’re the odds on favorite to be our opponent in the championship game.
  15. I stand correct. But…is Michigan State actually better than CMU?
  16. Did they really need to cheat to beat CMU? Aren’t they supposedly a powerhouse? By all means, Michigan, go ahead and give Harbaugh that contract extension. It will make the court battle after his show-cause penalty a lot more interesting.
  17. Counterpoint: some strangers on the internet told me it’s no big deal.
  18. They won’t. A national championship is worth potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. They’ll beg for forgiveness later.
  19. Watching the five stages of grief play out in real time in twitter is really entertaining when it’s not your team falling apart.
  20. I understand everyone is a little delusional about their own team but seeing Michigan fans trying to rationalize this as no big deal is pretty funny.
  21. IIRC he actually took the hit on that run with the left side of his body. I think he was injured when he was sacked on 1st down right before the 1st half ended. Edit: which would explain why he checked down to Brooks on seemingly every pass play until he was pulled.
  22. While this is technically true, the fake FG and the incomplete deep shot to Mitchell on 4th down are effectively turnovers. We also had two of these against OU - running into the kicker conversion and goal line stop - which effectively made the turnover battle 0-5 in OU’s favor. Sark’s 4th down decision making is proving to be questionable at best.
  23. This. The reason we nearly lost this game is because Sark asked Sideshow Bob to convert a 4th and 7 on the edge instead of kicking a 44 yard field goal. Combine that with PK’s patented deep quarters coverage that allowed them to move the ball 10 yards at a time for free and all of a sudden all of the momentum was on the other side. Quinn injury didn’t help but this game should have never been close, regardless.
  24. Iowa is favored by 3.5 over Minnesota this weekend with an O/U of 31.5. The implied score of 17-14 sounds a little ambitious.
  25. USC just does not look like a good football team.
