  1. I can't see Obie without thinking of Mangino.
  2. Slipped.....HA! Yeah, he "slipped" to avoid getting buried.
  3. The funny thing about Penn State getting upset at Nixon "declaring" Texas to be National Champions is that Nixon had no say in the matter. Texas were National Champs based on going in to the last game of the season undefeated and ranked number 1, beating another undefeated team, number 2 ranked Arkansas in their own house. Any belief that Penn State had that they should have been number 1 is just stupid and their decision to not settle the question on the playing field was cowardly.
  4. That may have been an issue for Syracuse in 1960 (Which, BTW, didn't prevent them from playing and winning) but not for PSU in 1969. That is just the excuse they used to avoid getting their asses kicked.
  5. Not sure this is true any more. Look at Marshawn Lynch, another good RB known for his toughness and "unique" persona and off the field behavior, but was beloved by pretty much everyone. At worst, the attitude towards him was that he was just a character, and the NFL needs more characters. It's especially these days, when nearly every play ends with someone doing the "look at me" screaming, flexing, pounding their chest and/or screaming at the sky, shit talking is just not the trigger it used to be.
  6. These GMC trucks with the crab walk "feature"...what is the point? Seems like a complicated solution looking for a problem to solve. Am I missing something?
  7. This kid is probably about 19 or 20 now, and maybe a student at Ohio State. Hopefully, he gets to re-live this early formative nightmare:
  8. 1) Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it? 2) Heisman voters? You talking about Heisman voters? Are these the same Heisman voters that awarded their trophy to the likes of Johnny Manziel, Eric Crouch, Gino Torretta, Jason White, et al? GTFO with that shit.
  9. Yes, and it still does. It was Texas's offensive ineptitude in the third quarter that led to Texas's defensive exhaustion in the fourth quarter which led to Skattebo being able to make casual observers believe he's some unstoppable superman. He is an above average college RB who was absolutely shut down for 3 quarters, and took advantage of his opportunity in the 4th. He even kept taking himself out of the game in short yardage situations in the third. Not exactly what an unstoppable "warrior" would do. I am just tired of the popular narrative being shoveled about this game. I finally got around to listening to some of the national "experts" talking about this, and heard everything from, "Arizona State completely controlled this game right from the start", to "Skattebo was completely unstoppable, he was like a man among boys out there", to "There is nothing he can't do" before finally acknowledging (reluctantly) that Texas actually won the game. I swear if you hadn't watched the game, and didn't know the final score, you'd swear that Texas got boatraced.
  10. Seems like you started watching the game half way through the 3rd quarter. I don't understand how anyone who watched the first 3 and a half quarters can think that Skattebo is anything but an above average college player.
  11. Is this Arizona State Legend, Jake the Snake Plummer? At first I was wondering who the homeless guy on the sideline was, and why ESPN kept showing him, Then Tessitore informed me...repeatedly.
  12. I don't get this. I'll admit, the guy is tough as nails, and he ended with impressive stats, but can we stop with the "you can't bring the guy down" B.S.? How many times was he stuffed on 3rd or 4th and short? Seems like it happened quite a lot in the first 3 quarters. He did his damage after the 'Horns D was pretty gassed after playing what seemed like 14 minutes of the 3rd.
  13. THANK YOU!!! This ad campaign is stupid af and unfunny.
