we got games from noon to midnight and you have nothing better to do

I'm bewildered by what I'm watching currently

they're familiar with it

this team was playing well to start the year and away at psu

>this team was playing well to start the year and away at psu

And when we had Hyde and Zeke he refused to put the ball in their hands in key moments


Now hes bringing up health issues to the press...


History repeating itself

with the exception of this very strange year.

as far as medical issues it's really easy to see that there's a problem...etiher physical or psychological. him bringing it up to the press doesnt really change that.

Florida was off the field chaos and a slower erosion...this has happened literally overnight.

so no i dont really see the parallels other than good things come to an end eventually unless you're saban/bama.

If meyer needs to call it quits then I'm sure everyone will thank him and wish him well. unlike florida fans who are still crying about it 10 years after the fact.

>with the exception of this very strange year.

That 31 zip beat down at the hands of Dabo and his team of weirdo sexual deviants was a huge red flag

It's not something you come out and address mid year off an embarrassing loss and a suspension to start the season. Plus him addressing the media and saying there's no friction between him and Gene Smith is an obvious confirmation there is a huge issue between the two

For now I'm just banking that the coaching is off and they miss fickell combs etc badly... Coaching changes need to be made asap. Studrawa is a BUM.

At what point does meyer start considering using Tate Martell more to open up the RPO... Haskins is a God damn statue

different offense but he has 153 rushing yards...TOTAL for the season

last year he ran for 1,411

He could always run but his passing was a bit erratic last season. If Arizona has one positive for a season in which Tate struggled with injuries and a new offense it is that it appears his passing game has improved.

It’s like he went from elite to washed in a matter of weeks.

Louisville is very bad but it's always embarrassing to give up 14 yards per carry and have defensive tackles run in touchdowns against you

They are really rolling now though.

been awhile for Cuse

I am enjoying this season immensely.

would be funny if he was actually in college...after the fact not as much

I heard he’s still there. Not sure tho

Gators punter just got a personal foul penalty :)

Florida's defense really got punked every which way

Otherwise, ugly.

By that time the game was over, but this win is a big step in his growth. He had never played well in a conference game against a team with better talent. I hoped this progress would have taken place sooner, but late is better than never. It's a big win for him, Odom, and the rest of the team.

Emanuel Hall came back this week and he's been the x-factor in MIZ's play, at least against Power 5 teams. I don't know how well he played this week but his presence likely shored up our passing game by giving Lock a receiver he was sure of.

Eastern Michigan!!!

it's funny

Fuck penn state tho

=======================================

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They have thrown two flags for unsportsmanlike conduct on WVU players for flashing the horns down sign after scoring a TD.

WVU made it hard on themselves when their star LT got ejected for throwing a half-punch

That second one could have cost WVU the game had Texas gotten a big kickoff return or hit on one big pass play to put Texas in FG range. At the same time, if Texas gets to flash the horns up sign after a TD then their opponents should be allowed to flag horns down. Just another example of officials and the powers that be trying to regulate the fun out of football.

On a side not, Will Grier hit his hero ball for the winning TD and scored the 2 point conversion. I’m happy for him.

All his dumb shit was rewarded on that last drive: hero ball thrown off his back foot for a TD, big run to score on the two point conversion followed up with a dumb penalty but still wins the game.

Insanely bad officiating going both ways.

except Tennessee is not good enough to play down to anybody

holy mother, just erase that game from everyone's memory

Obviously it is better to win that game ugly but it was a head scratching win that gives fans more questions than answers.

Utah (1st) just got mauled by 4 TD against ASU

Luckily, SC found Darnold and was able to win it with relative ease. This has basically been the south for the last five seasons and what it would have looked like if SC didn’t have Darnold.

like the entire conference will be bowl eligible

it is going to come down to Herm vs Sumlin, just as zero pundits predicted

he rolled out, stared down two Michigan defenders and threw it directly at them

nearest guy was the TE and he was 10 yards away from the throw

just one of the more bizarre (ie awful) interceptions I have anybody throw at the P5 level

http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=25168697

no rhyme or reason to any of this

That includes kiffin and oregrron



Helton is a dead man walking

That guy just screams “Cajun”. If this was like Mike Tyson’s punchout era and they made a college football game and LSU’s coach was like that, we’d scream that it was a stereotype.

I mean, LSU could still cover 2nd half.

I honestly thought -14 for this game @ night in Death Valley was ridiculous.

Ordinarily it would be ridiculous.

But this might be the best team Saban has had at Bama


**vomits**

punting on the bama 38 after a big kick return? good thing you flipped the field with that 27-yard punt. and now a fucking field goal inside the bama 20 with 10 minutes left?

playing spineless in a game where you need everything to break right aggravates me to no end

Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb had a personal foul *and* unsportsmanlike called on the same play...can't remember seeing 30 yards in penalties against one player in one play

OU had first and goal at the 7 and ended up on the 37

to having 4-loss seasons

And who was doing that bullshit backpack thing? Lmao! Was that Florida State?

the line looked so ridiculous that i was afraid to play it

im never the one to throw in the towel in early november but nobody is fucking with this team

Tua, with that trio of sophomore receivers, is unstoppable. and although Saban has had better defenses top-to-bottom, he's got one All-American at every level and the best interior lineman he's ever coached in Tuscaloosa (the whole nation got to see Quinnen Williams, Destroyer of Worlds).

need Notre Dame to finish 4th so they can get obliterated by a playoff record margin.

d Notre Dame to finish 4th so they can get obliterated by a

Notre Dame gets Clemson on the other half

>Notre Dame gets Clemson on the other half

I don't even think we win in East Lansing next weekend

I have my doubts. Michigan won 56-10 and the score could have been worse. I don't think the Bucks will be able to run on the Wolverines.

Hope is a "rivalry game" (c) Firebrand

>Michigan won 56-10 and the score could
>have been worse.

What did you see on Saturday that provided inspiration for the Bucks? Usually Ohio State throttles the next opponent after a loss under Meyer. They were lucky to escape with a win. As a 'Husker fan it is encouraging as 2AM is going to be a star in the Frost O.

Ohio State also wasn't very impressive against a pretty bad Minnesota team. I still think Fleck is more hype than substance.

just that the logic doesnt work

I think you can get a barometer though with multiple common opponents.

>I think you can get a barometer though with multiple common
>opponents.

let's take ND/Mich for example. these two teams played head to head. ND won. ND has significantly upgraded their qb since that game. yet mich is now lined as a 7pt fav over ND right today.

so i guess shit can change over the course of the season.

it's not boring Saban ball. it's Jerry Jeudy hitting the juke button 5 times every play. i'm not even a bit mad about this bama team.

all year.

youll finally be tested on the greatest day of the year.

and i cannot WAIT

albeit not that well coached...

but id like to see m's front four vs ours, in a rivalry game, in Columbus with everything on the line for you guys...


name your bet

that Michigan would shut down Alabama's offense?

because if that's so, I really need it on record

>that Michigan would shut down Alabama's offense?
>
>because if that's so, I really need it on record


God I cant wait for the 25th

we'll see how the 2018 clinically depressed version of urban meyer handles being a home dog to their arch rivals.

the last time urban was given this little of a chance of winning a game was the 2006 NC against OSU.

it's fight or flight time.

I'm not stupid.

I do wanna bet though.

No homegrown 734 313 248 boys

Crazy cocky... Worse than me

>

and theyre the worst

theyre worse here in their natural habitat

I take nothing at all for granted and there's no way at ALL I'm thinking OSU in Columbus would be easy in any year.

Bama isn't even on my radar for consideration at this point. I honestly don't know how good we are because the Big Ten is subpar this year. Honestly, all of college football outside of Bama is kinda down this year.

I will say this though - we still have a good amount of upside potential, we've still yet to put together a complete performance leaving everything on the field.

im saying that relying on WRs to make great individual plays vs Hill/Long/Watson will never be sustainably successful

Tua is too accurate. he can throw a receiver open against tight coverage better than any QB in the nation.

Grant Delpit is as good a safety as anybody Michigan can trot out, and Tua still laid a dime on Irv Smith to break that game open last Saturday.

Michigan would have to knock Tua out.

UM's pressure packages are the other side of that coin, and Bama hasnt seen anything like that yet

is Bama's OL *that* much better than Wisconsin's?

>is Bama's OL *that* much better than Wisconsin's?

and their offense is set up completely different from bama

Michigan has a very good defense as usual, but I don't see how they moved to all-timer status this year...bama's offense is playing like a historic unit

and i think michigan is really good. like, might pick you in columbus good. but saban with a month to prepare against a one dimensional offense is going to be ugly.

>but saban with a month to prepare against a one
>dimensional offense is going to be ugly.

list me all the teams who have beaten alabama at their own game.

you can't out-bama alabama. they will kill you.

and this alabama offense is a supercharged, more mobile version of their previous iterations.

Michigan’s D is better and will get some support from their offense, but it won’t be in the Big House either. I think that game would end up like 31-10 bama.

>Michigan’s D is better and will get some support from their

>that game would end up like 31-10 bama.

-they lost to Winbush and ND
-beat up on hornibrook, injured lewerke, injured Mcsorley

and we're going to extrapolate those results onto Tua and that monstrous bama offense?

multiple at every level, with the best DC in the game

its perfectly reasonable to judge it as elite

who have actually shown up against elite competition this year...

and still got dicked down by bama. at home.

so no I don't think making assumptions is reasonable.

Florida is not elite competition

mich's best defensive effort is against...hornibrook?

sorry there's just no way to extrapolate from anything we've seen that mich is going to put in work against bama. 'they have a lot of nfl players' isn't really much of an answer. OSU has a lot of nfl players on D and they suck ass.

UM DC: Don Brown, flanked by Greg Mattison

OSU DC: Greg Schiano, who i told you was just ok and you acted like i was telling you aliens have landed

and OSU has fielded terrific defenses under Schiano so tough to say that he's the sole reason why the D sucks now. OSU's comprehensive struggles are due to a variety of factors.

>and OSU has fielded terrific defenses under Schiano so tough
>to say that he's the sole reason why the D sucks now. OSU's
>comprehensive struggles are due to a variety of factors.

yeah, Coombs had that Ohio State DB pipeline running as smooth as ever. elite recruiter to boot.

he wasn't considered an elite coach by really anyone but more of a recruiter/motivator guy.

fickell however was a huge loss and the drop off since urban hired the best man at his wedding to coach the lb's has been evident.

TT just scored to get within 2 and they throw a pick-2

that was rough

we're a bit down this year at the end of a brutal schedule run, and michigan's a legit top 5 team coming off a bye. even if mcsorely were healthy, we weren't going to be particularly competitive. him being hurt turned it into a route.

>we're down a bit this year

more like Michigan was down more than a bit last year

othwrwise this is squarely on the line of best fit

>more like Michigan was down more than a bit last year

they've beat up on a bunch of beleaguered and overhyped big 10 squads with pitiful qb play and now it's time to crown them

we've seen this movie before.

BUT BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT

no. we've seen this movie before.

seems like a fairly clear trend

congrats on beating us during the sanctions, and good job picking an arbitrary stopping point that made the rivalry seem as good as possible for y'all.

Was not lost on me.

At some point someone has to use their head tho. This faux bad blood will just keep flowing for really, no reason.

WITH THAT SAID, Yes, Harbaugh challenging a clear catch was just so extra, BUT I like that they were trying hard to preserve that shutout because fake Tebow was trying his hardest to score to ruin it. So I have no problem with playing it out when both teams clearly havent quit.

Last year tho, fuck that noise.

>Was not lost on me.

LOL ya know????

I thought I was the only one who picked up on that haha.

I mean lets cut the shit already. Is there any coach/team out there that doesn't run it up eery now and then for whatever reason? XYZ fan base getting all self righteous about it is a bad look.

At this point, just play better defense and you won't have to worry about it.

you don't like it, stop it. we're all young adults here.

because PSU beat Nick Sheridan, John O Korn, and Tate Forcier for 3 of those 5 wins lol

All you that watched, know exactly how dumb that worked out for me.

They are not getting touched this year.

They missed 2 extra points!!!!

it impacts my bet. it's uncanny.

same goes for 2 pt conversions.

It’s unreal how that shit happens

Georgia shouldn't have lost to LSU if they wanted to even talk tough for the playoff at this point but im just assuming Bama is going to destroy them in Atlanta.

USC will beat Notre Dame!

cgonz said that nobody can put 4 touchdowns up on Michigan (LMFAO) and Ohio State will for sure put up at least 4.

My dumb prediction is OU blasts OSU this weekend, then West Virginia lays an egg against OSU, preserving Gundy's job, and making the finale a pretty pointless WVU/OU game. Texas will get beat at least one more time, likely against Iowa State, making the championship game a lackluster Iowa State/OU game. Even if they run it, unless a lot of other people take bad ones, I can't see OU making it into the top 4 given the chumps in the conference.

>cgonz said that nobody can put 4 touchdowns up on Michigan
>(LMFAO) and Ohio State will for sure put up at least 4.
>

Picks 6 and special teams aside....I'm in on this.

and has 3x said, the best offense you've played since is... Penn State.

>> the best offense you've played since is...
>Penn State.

lolz

each of those TD drives had AT LEAST one automatic irst down penalty on 3rd down, and not all of them great calls

and one of those touchdowns was a bomb that M's backup safety put 2 hands on and basically passed off to the NDs receiver

once the penalties were squared away, ND put up less than 100 yards over 2 and half quarters

Mich has a good defense, but you guys have played utter horseshit all year. looking forward to you playing a decent team for the second time this season!

the first 2 drives of the season look like extreme outliers today

Over this game... Leprechauns win big

and they just shelled out a ton of money due to a wide scale sexual assault issue and im not sure if that will have any impact on their athletic spending
