2018 College Football Thread: Local man buys some teenage champions a 4 for 4 (1 Viewer)

[NutterButter]

LOL.   Would've been classic if they dumped it onto Kelly as well.  

 

[Tom Servo]

Well, I'm satisfied. ND is eliminated and I don't care who among the other 3 wins.

 

[gump]

When I had a baby a year ago, everyone said it was a life changer.

I passed on a trip to SoBeach and the Orange Bowl this weekend to take my son to a big family get together (in Bama).

The life changing part was completely undersold.

 

[ffldrew]

So the safety ND has that came over from Navy...  do you have to serve in the Navy after going there normally?  How does that work if you transfer?

You pay it back - or you serve in reserves/enlist for a period - not sure the exact time that is required.

 

[Jayded]

You said it was across multiple coaches, right? Or did I quote the wrong guy?

So, are they cursed? Everyone against them? What? If it's just Kelly, that's cool. 

I’m suggesting ND needs to get real with itself about its bowl preparation as I said in my last post. The teams that show up in the regular season look nothing like the teams in the playoffs and instead look woefully unprepared. 

Im not suggesting it’s anything but ND’s fault.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Depends on when he transferred, I believe. Could be 100% wrong about that.

If it’s not in your first semester, you have to pay it all back.

My wife is 38 weeks pregnant right now. I’m expecting to watch a lot less football going forward. 

Have fun watching the game tonight bud.

Yeah, I posted that before I read your response. I knew you had the goods, so I modified my post.

A tablet with Netflix capabilities will help you fight for the TV. Works for me, until the battery dies.

We have two daughters, 8 and 4.  We still watch as much as ever, but my wife loves college football.  It has slowed us going to as many games until the kids get old enough.  We are all going to the kickoff game in Dallas next year though.

"there will be a second collection at Mass this week to assist in paying off a Navy scholarship...."

Is it a pay back or serve option or does leaving just mean they’re out?

to get your butt whipped?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Depends. Like I know a guy who dropped and he had the choice of paying it back or doing a six year enlisted stint. He’s been in 18 years now, so it all worked out. 

I’m guessing the football player chose the pay it back option. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Well I hope OU doesn’t do a Notre Dame.

Worth every second of missed games and sleep...good luck Moe (not tonight )and enjoy it! 

 

[Capella]

Well I hope OU doesn’t do a Notre Dame. 

They’re almost certainly better than Notre Dame but playing Bama....

 

[Doctor Detroit]

OU up at half, Bama comes back like they always do. 

41-34

 

[MAC_32]

Well I hope OU doesn’t do a Notre Dame. 

That's not happening. Whether OU has a shot or not probably depends on Tua rust because I think OU needs to play from ahead. But this will be a game.

They could try not playing superior teams that are coached by Saban, Meyer, and Dabo. Or you could try to be realistic. 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

9 of the last 10 playoff games have been won by Clemson or Alabama.  The only exception was the game they weren't involved in (Georgia over Oklahoma).  If Alabama wins tonight it will automatically become 11 of the 12 next week.

 

[NutterButter]

Alabama should put up a whole lot of points.   Question is whether OU can keep up.

Which makes deferring a bit puzzling

Thank you for this stat. Those two programs in recent history >>>>>>everyone else

Yep. 

 

[ffldrew]

He looked down 

 

[Zegras11]

Best D in the land!

 

[NutterButter]

he's down

 

[-OZ-]

He looked down 

Yep

 

[Insein]

He was down.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

So during every review we’re gonna get hit with three car/car insurance commercials.

Well then they wouldn't be in good bowls 

 

[ffldrew]

When did ESPN turn into MTV?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Inconclusive 

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Just give someone the ball.  These reviews suck the life out of the game. 

 

[NutterButter]

Looks down, but not sure how conclusive unless they tie together a few angles.

 

[-OZ-]

Sometimes I wish teams had different colors.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Just give someone the ball.  These reviews suck the life out of the game. 

I don't understand why they don't adopt the NFL system for reviews. It's not perfect but way better than this.

 

[BassNBrew]

There are blowouts every year in the 4 team playoff.

2014-15:  Oregon beat FSU by 39

2015-16:  Clemson beat Oklahoma by 20 and Alabama beat Michigan State by 38

2016-17.  Clemson beat Ohio State by 31 and Alabama beat Washington by 17

2017-18:  Alabama beat Clemson by 18

This is the 9th semi-final game since the playoff started and the 7th one decided by 17 points.  The two exceptions were Georgia/Oklahoma last year and Ohio State/Alabama in 2014-15.   Everyone whining about Notre Dame "not belonging" because Clemson is rolling them has a short memory.

So basically a typical week in cfb 

 

[NutterButter]

Funny, in general I feel the opposite.   The college system is usually very quick.   

 

[-OZ-]

Alright Oklahoma, for the past few weeks we've heard how you'll keep up with the Tide.

 

[ffldrew]

I don't understand why they don't adopt the NFL system for reviews. It's not perfect but way better than this.

Don't they review every turnover in NFL also? I don't mind the fact that they go to a central crew to make the call in college - they could be quicker when it's obvious as this one was.

 

[Capella]

Alabama punting tonight - o/u 2.5. Anybody taking the over? 

 

[Joe Bryant]

Funny, in general I feel the opposite.   The college system is usually very quick.   

You probably watch more college than I do. When i do watch college it usually seems brutal like this. 

 

[NutterButter]

Oof.   Don't think they have this defense in the Big12.  

 

[-OZ-]

Yeah, this isn't going to be a blowout.

 

[Moe.]

Kyler is insanely fast but he’s not really a natural runner with the ball. Went the wrong direction on first down entirely 

 

[scottybo]

Hope Waddle is ok. That was fugly.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Yeah, this isn't going to be a blowout.

I see all the new Bama fans are here. I know you’re new because none of the other Bama fans around here say a thing. Just you and need2know
