Feel bad for their QB getting hurt in the first quarter. Meanwhile, since I am a Yankee fan, I was digging the pinstripes the Irish were wearing.......

Hoosierinbham Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Please explain to me why SEC schools shouldn't be penalized for playing cupcakes in November instead of an extra conference game. It's essentially an extra bye week, instead of risking an upset the week before a rivalry game. Even Alabama fans are sick of their cupcake schedule. People I know couldn't give their tickets away today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama plays the schedule well. To mean that they set themselves just fine. And it makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 The playoff commitee has said strength of schedule matters. Time to prove it. If the top 4 win out, it won't matter. If Alabama loses to Georgia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama fans are probably just bored with the regular season anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Agreed it's smart based on ESPN artificially inflating SEC team ratings to protect their business. No need to schedule hard. But no way Citadel or Wofford have the same chance at an upset as a conference foe. Ask Michigan or Ohio State if they would've preferred a total cakewalk today. Of course they would. But they would be destroyed on ESPN for scheduling a game like that. Their rankings would drop, and they would be out of the playoff picture. (All this SEC hate aside, Saban takes care of business when gifted the opportunity. Can't even argue that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives the backups a good chance to play tons of minutes towards the end of a season and rest starters before a rivalry game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted November 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Well.... The Irish did their part and beat a scrappy USC team 24-17 to go 12 and 0. It wasn't pretty, but gritty. I couldn't stand to listen to the 2 bozos doing the game as they were breathless as USC was keeping the game close, especially Ohio State apologist, Kirk Herbstreit. Playing the Trojans on their home field has always been a struggle for the Irish. Now on to see who their playoff opponent will be... At least the state of Indiana will be represented at a high profile game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the players are aware of this and played the game to save their coaches job. Go Irish!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 It's official. Mack Brown hired by Carolina. Maybe it will work but if I'm a Carolina fan I ask this. If he couldn't make it work at Texas....how in the world is he going to recruit in the Southeast with the obscene regional competition he'll face.

Guess we have different definitions of making it work. I think he achieved far more at Carolina (making bowl games) compared to 1 title in 16 years at Texas with unlimited resources. Time will tell.
