Well, I just heard a Howard Stern segment from probably 7-8 years ago where Uncle Luke recalls how much he loved pissing on girls and would take players (unspecified pro or college) and they would have "sacrifice days" where they would basically take a girl and defile her up to and including pissing on her. He also mentioned taking the Fab 5 to a strip club where they all got blown on stage.

It seems to be a no-brainer choice because nobody but fans of those teams will even remember this happened in a few years but Ole Miss likely isn't smart enough to see it that way and will drag this out and probably lose.
I don't know, it wouldn't be like Ole Miss to foolishly cling to some sort of lost cause.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
He's also not entirely wrong. Jackson has huge flaws in his game that he currently overcomes at this level with phenomenal athleticism. He won't pull the same act in the NFL, he'll have to actually sit back and pick apart defenses and read coverages. I think he'll do something in the NFL but I'm not sure how long he'll last.

As neat as those anonymous coach hot takes are, that's one Clawson probably should have either kept to himself or filtered it a bit better.

Yo, peep that shit

quote:

Few expected Ohio State to suffer a 31-0 loss when the Buckeyes played Clemson in last year's Fiesta Bowl, but Clemson coach Dabo Swinney says he became confident the Tigers would win big as soon as he watched the Buckeyes' film.

During a radio interview with WCCP-FM's Walt Deptula on Monday, Swinney said he doesn't watch many Big Ten games during the season but felt the conference was overrated after watching Ohio State in preparation for the bowl game.

"Go back to last year. We're trying to figure out a way to put four Big Ten teams in the playoff," Swinney said. "And I didn't pay no attention to the Big Ten. You just kind of buy it (the Big Ten hype), right? That's just what's out there. And then we get ready to play Ohio State and I start watching the tape, I watch every single game and I go in and tell our guys, I'm like, 'Boys, these guys are in trouble.' I mean, I've watched the whole league, I've gone through the whole league both sides, these guys are in trouble. And that's exactly what happened."

The Fiesta Bowl was Ohio State's first shutout in any game since 1993. As a whole, the Big Ten went just 3-7 in last year's bowl games, including losses in New Year's Six games by Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan.

I think watching any of the Big 10 teams play would have told you the league had really weak offensive line play overall, and Clemson having a monster d-line..well...yeah.

There's a reason the Michigan/Ohio State game was mostly determined by which QB would make the most disastrous mistakes while getting murdered by the opposing D-Line

At least the rest of us scored.

Michigan and Penn State lost by a combined four points. Not like either of those teams was completely over matched.

Lesson: stop giving Ohio State the benefit of the doubt.

This was absolutely the case in the UT/Nebraska game. Add in Tommy Armstrong as your QB who you need to make quick decisions and :gonk:

I actually don't remember him making too many boneheaded mistakes that game.

Clemson would have definitely done the same thing to Michigan and probably Penn State given that Penn State couldn't move the ball at all against OSU. Clemson was really good!

The Big Ten was extremely top heavy but the top was pretty good. Bowl record is not a very good determiner of conference strength.

e: like realistically the other options for that playoff spot were three other teams from the same conference, two of whom OSU beat and one they lost to on a blocked kick but outgained by like a 200 yards (and anyway if your argument is that no Big Ten team should make it because the conference stinks that doesn't really fix anything), an Oklahoma team they demolished, and I guess USC? USC was probably the best of them by the end of the year but they had 3 losses.

Yeah last year's B1G was the definition of top-heavy. There was just an enormous gulf between OSU, Michigan and PSU, and everyone else.
