My wife said to me during the game last night “it’s so weird seeing you watch Tennessee and be…happy” and it’s so true. I don’t care what happens next week, this year has been great after 20 years of suck

I've been with my wife since 2010 and outside of 2020 (which was frustrating for a lot of different reasons), we've been a very mediocre program the entire time. She frequently asks me if UF being good was 'the aberration,' which is an incredible burn and makes me wonder if I even like college football that much anymore. i doi think?

Please, anyone in NOLA that wants to bandwagon on Tulane attend games. It is cheap and they need more people at home games.

My friends and I are planning to go to the SMU game. Hopefully we aren't jinxes.

A few of us went there so not entirely bandwagoners, but we've got some in tow.

I stopped watching college football, and any sports I had emotional attachment to, for several years and honestly my mental health was much better for it. Also took away stress/annoyance at having to plan things around “big games”

Oh, hi, this is every USC fan on Twitter today. Y’all shouldn’t be surprised, PAC-12 refs have been a thing for decades by now.



I mean, USC fans know the P12 refs are terrible. Glasses Ref was a thing for a reason. But this was a level of incompetence you don't often see. It was magical to behold. Do I expect phantom holding calls? Of course. No calls on blatant PI? Sure. Roughing the passer for even looking at the QB? Par for the course.

Standing over the ball while the clock expires, then letting the team snap the ball with 0:00 on the clock, with half the players on both teams not sure WTF is happening, and letting the play run without blowing it dead? That was like 3 new squares to add to my bingo card in one play! Kudos, P12 refs!

every single year i hope for an awful big ten west champ to win the champ game due to fumble luck and it just never, ever happens. there's obviously been some upsets but only by teams at the michigan state/wisconsin/iowa second tier , not the lesser ones . i guess the only 'real' upset was unranked wisconsin hanging 70 on nebraska a decade ago

Someone may know better than me but from what someone said there was a scuffle/scrum on the field at the end of the game with Michigan players sarcastically waving goodbye to MSU guys. This Michigan guy was randomly in the tunnel for whatever reason and I assume he was either doing a little chirping himself or was doing the same thing and it didn't go over well.

It seems like it's always reacting to dumb little poo poo that starts it and then it just snowballs into something even dumber because guys are already pissed off. This was particularly bad though.

Also Michigan Stadium only has one tunnel to both locker rooms which is apparently a recipe for disaster in chippier games (this is two weeks in a row with poo poo going down in the tunnel). Still not excusable obviously.

A ton of places only have one tunnel and magically don't get into brawls like this. I have seen a ton of victim blaming going around saying what did the Michigan dude expect, but even if he was telling them to give their balls a tug, that is no justification for the whole team deciding to beat the hell out of him.

Might have the year wrong, but a bunch of players got in a fight at a party thrown by a nerd frat and got suspended for the Alamo Bowl. This was the early Dantonio era where guys were constantly doing crimes, like Chris L. Rucker's infamous DUI where Mark didn't suspend him because he was needed against Iowa (we lost like 38-6) or the one running back whose name escapes me who blew several chances because he kept punching people.

You can track McBurrows in this video - he doesn't do the wave thing but he kinda skips ahead and dips into the tunnel with the rest of the MSU players.

Well, so, it started off that way

quote:

We're starting to get more information about a Nov. 22 fight at a Michigan State campus residence hall that has landed 10 football players in hot water. According to multiple reports, it all started after midnight on Nov. 22, hours after Michigan State got pounded by Penn State in the regular-season finale. A fight broke out at a nightspot not far from campus during a party sponsored by the Iota Phi Theta fraternity.

The father of suspended Spartans wide receiver Mark Dell told the Detroit Free Press that running back Glenn Winston was confronted at the party after dancing with someone's girlfriend. Another Spartans football player, who has not been identified, was cited for possessing alcohol and public urination outside The Small Planet nightspot.

which, ok, typical stupid-rear end college poo poo and indeed a scene straight out of Revenge of the Nerds

But:

quote:

According to Mark Dell Sr., Winston told his teammates about the incident and the next night a group of them went to a residence hall where a potluck hosted by the same fraternity was being held. Winston allegedly was looking for his attackers the previous evening. Dell Sr. said his son and suspended teammate B.J. Cunningham, also a wide receiver, didn't actually participate in any fighting, though they did lie to Dantonio about being there.

“First of all, my son said there were absolutely no ski masks,” Dell said. “There wasn’t a big fight like people are trying to make it out to be. If 15 players had conspired to go to this party and jump on some people, it would have been chaos.”

Other accounts describe a pretty chaotic scene, and the fact that MSU police are trying to identify more suspects makes it tough to believe the fight was a small event.

Generally speaking when one has to make a denial like the bolded one, poo poo has gone down
