Non-sports people don’t understand how sports can bring people closer together. It is bond that is never broken even after the person is gone and he would want me to say there is no sport better than college football. Not even close. Sorry for your loss man. I had the same sort of relationship with my grandfather. The 2016 UT UGA game was the last time I got to talk to him after a game and I’ll remember that forever.

My dad has been dead for 2 years now and I still get the urge to call him up and chat about sports sometimes.

Not to get all meta, but the demographics of this board are amazing. We’ve travelled a long way from the carefree twenty-somethings laughing at things like “2 girl teams, 1 Apple cup.”

northwestern is still desperately trying to sell tickets to the ohio state game, they can't even find 40,000 ohio state fans to watch them beat northwestern 85-0 in a rainstorm.

Huh... https://twitter.com/Dave_Matter/status/1588895775634771969 Um, ok. Playing and losing close games to good and bad teams is an improvement? I guess? Sorta? e: apparently added 2 years to the contract so he's signed through 2027 and he got a raise of some undefined amount so far.

lamentable dustman posted:We've beat better teams It doesn’t ultimately matter, but advanced metrics have Clemson’s and Michigan’s schedule nearly identical. Michigan ends with Illinois and Ohio State, so it’ll work itself out. Win out and Michigan is in (over Clemson).

Grittybeard posted:Huh... Weird and kind of a waste, but it’s basically unheard of nowadays for a school to retain a coach with less than three years left on his contract, so I’m sure Missouri was in a place where they felt they either had to fire him or give a vote of confidence in the form of a token extension.

I get the sense Eli's a guy who plays really well with boosters too. He seems to recruit fairly well considering everything. Shame about the W-L record.

But at the same time there aren't really better coaches for this type of program. They're never going to get a big name coach. In theory they need to strive to be an Iowa program which is every 4-5 years make the Big 10 title game but that doesn't really seem like it's on the table because they choke against Iowa every year then have a bad loss or two on top of that.

If you're looking for the summation of what it means to be a Missouri football fan, the Tigers lost today because the Wildcat punter made the terrible decision to try and punt a bad snap away when he could've just taken a safety and dared Mizzou's moribund offense to move the ball. Instead, they luck out with a roughing the punter call because the defender started his tackle as the punter had his back turned and was still finishing scooping the ball up.
