I don’t think Alabama has any business getting in but it owns a lot that Iowa beat the piss out of Ohio State and kept them out of the playoff

Late to the party here, but :agreed:

This is the most interesting the game has been in like 20 years since Army is finally competitive again.


That's what I'm counting on. I *have* to watch the game, if only to poo poo talk my brother (who's a West Point alum) over Signal. Once I found out how deadly serious this game is to him, it became one of my driving goals every year.

Jim Harbaugh is a good fit at the storied University of Michigan Football program.

They may have to one day add a whole new shelf to hold the trophies he earns.

Yes, and I mean it.

Maybe people should feel disgusted that this poo poo happens instead of shrugging and going "Boys will be boys".

Absolutely. That statement is a slap to the face in its bluntness.

It's going to be interesting on how they deal with it.

I mean I get the Innocent Until Proven Guilty Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. I think it's a really important part of our system of justice.

HOWEVER:

1) That statement is pretty graphic and detailed in its description of events. I'm certainly persuaded this is a legitimate complaint and it's very likely *something* untoward happened.

2) Given the endemic and pernicious pattern of how colleges handle claims of sexual abuse and rape, I have a hard time believing the university will move swiftly on this or even do anything more than a cursory "investigation into our athletic program (which happens to make us money)".

I doubt the school will do anything substantive. Certainly not until after Bowl Season.

I can only hope the real police aren't Keystone Kops and do a thorough investigation.

Pulling this from a couple pages late, but baggy pants were definitely the style in 2003. I mean look at this picture of the 2003 NBA draft. Every single guy is wearing a suit with super baggy pants.

Baker Mayfield is astonishing

Yeah, he really is. 65/35 he turns into a Johnny Manziel and burns out like a fast burning star when he gets to the NFL.

Like usual, it's confidence picks. 1 is the least confident, 41 is the most. You can change your picks and order right up until game time, so keep that in mind once the championship teams are known.

I think I'm a low functioning moron, because I can't figure out how to join the group.

It may or may not surprise you to learn that Army affords its athletes the same privilege any other school does, and it leads to rapes and deaths.

Yeah, a lot of the alumni are not happy about how the athletes aren't held to the same standards the other cadets are.

Is there a thread for this game, or just here?

Because I just turned it on and saw that insanity. Is this clownball or was it just a run of the mill "pass rusher intercepts and then offensive lineman starts punching people" play?
