poo poo how did I forget Wagner. When he's not drawing DPI penalties he's doing things like this: https://mobile.twitter.com/UKFootball/status/1173027822883024899

Yet another amazing Kentucky moment overshadowed by a loss. Boom Williams' run in the first OT before the play clock controversy at Florida a few years ago. Jared Lorenzen's drive to score the late TD against LSU before the miracle. Sean Woods' shot with 2 seconds left before the Laettner shot. drat, now I'm sad again.

Super happy for Wagner; he'd be in the NFL already if he'd stuck with football out of high school. Wish Iowa had been able to keep him, he'd probably be our starting tight end this year

This was maybe the most Big Ten week I've ever seen in the Big Ten. They absolutely brought everyone down with them as well. Maryland-Temple was staggeringly incompetent and then MSU-ASU even moreso. Narduzzi looks like the dumbest coach ever and Penn State could barely beat him. Illinois' secondary got bossed by Eastern Michigan. El Assico was El Assico. Northwestern struggled against UNLV.

Yeah Ohio State is gonna stomp everyone again, it stinks

They seemed fine when Stevens was healthy. And they were pretty good last year, they just had a brutal schedule and he inherited a QB who couldn't pass at all

But it wasn’t a matter of trying to have it both ways, that’s how champions were always determined in traditional round robin tournaments. Split titles were just a thing, historically. And the conference couldn’t very well change the rules and strip a team of their shared conference title contrary to the rules established at the beginning. So anyway, now we have a championship game.

God drat though 2014 TCU was so good, so much better than they had any right to be. Sure they dropped that one game to Baylor by a field goal in one of the most awesome, most Big 12 games ever (61-58!!!) but I mean the Ohio State team that rolled through Oregon and Bama in the playoff had lost to a poo poo Virginia Tech team and been less impressive through most of the season.

I mean part of the appeal of round robin is that you have a guaranteed very obvious tiebreaker in this scenario. Wasn't that kind of the whole point of all the smug One True Champion advertising poo poo?

lol no that was the season before when Baylor were the undisputed champs and their reward was having to play UCF while also-rans Oklahoma and Texas got bowls against Bama and Oregon, respectively. After they got left out of the playoff Baylor went to the Cotton Bowl and lost to Sparty 42-41. TCU beat Ole Miss 42-3 in the Peach Bowl.

What made it really egregious was that TCU was #3 as a 10-1 team in the second-to-last committee rankings, with 11-1 Ohio State at #5. TCU got dropped from #3 to #6 for beating Iowa State 55-3.

OSU beat 13th ranked Wisconsin 59-0 that same week and god I cannot believe people are still having this argument

Can someone dig up the Michigan Man blog post? I feel like someone here wrote it and it contained at least one solemn reference to a Bo Schembechler quote as if it was scripture. I don't remember much more about it but it had a similar air of exceptionalism that's so hysterical to see.

I'm not gonna repost every AsInHowe post for you that seems like a lot of work

I mean if they give him the choice of any brewery under the InBev umbrella... hell of a deal. They've bought out some fantastic breweries in the last few years.

And then mostly kind of wrecked them (e: golden road was pre-wrecked though, they can keep that one)

Anyway it's gonna be Busch Light, whose inexplicable popularity in Iowa has become a dumb meme that prompted the whole thing in the first place.

He took a few years to get going at Wazzu but Wazzu's previous coach had also gone 9-40 so there was a lot of rebuilding to do. He's at least shown he can build a program and also he can probably correctly identify most common vegetables

There are games every Thursday from tonight through the rest of the season.

They definitely mostly stopped putting anything that might be interesting to a casual fan on Thursdays though. I assume it's a little of both. They don't want to upset one of their most valuable partners and they probably also think whatever they put on is most likely getting stomped in the ratings by the NFL so they don't want to waste a bigger game there. It sucks.

I’m still blown away whenever I think about how Minnesota is 3-0 after that stretch of OOC games they had. Those are three teams that can punch above their own weight.

That AD is an idiot for giving Fleck those teams, but he must be doing something right to get past all of them.

I mean they are still teams a decent P5 team should beat and Minnesota was losing in the 4th quarter to all of them. They look due for a pretty significant regression. Their line has been awful.

Fox gets the first pick this week and they are trying to turn noon into their marquee timeslot because ESPN was whooping their rear end in primetime most weeks and they think leading into a big game will help their doomed Gameday competitor
