2018 College Football Thread: Local man buys some teenage champions a 4 for 4 (3 Viewers)

The ratings for these semis have to be huge, right?

It's a Saturday on a long weekend (for most  ). You have Notre Dame which inexplicably still has a huge fan base, and Clemson who's been just this side of Bama as the best recent program in college. Then you have Bama and Oklahoma.

Harbaugh squatting on the sidelines with a furrowed brow like he's concentrating really hard on that poop he's been working on all afternoon.

He better not go to Green Bay then. That cheese would really bind him

@MBakerTBTimes: In accordance with Peach Bowl tradition, the Gators have won the national title

Dumb question: what stadium is the Bama/Okla game being played in?

Dolphins stadium

Dolphins stadium

Thanks. I've been cooking and doing shots of Sambuca all day and was blanking on if there was another building they might play this in.

Historical trends say nah not really.  

Timing of this game is ideal though. The prior ones had to bend over for the NFL among other issues. 

 

[Slapdash]

Way too many injuries.  

You think Hillinski has any shot of beating out Bentley?  

The Bentley that showed up today shouldn't beat out anyone.  You never know which you're going to get though.

Huge news.  Frees up space for a real game on network tv. Or golf even. 

 

[NutterButter]

Great start Irish.  Two fumbles, a false start and a dropped pass.   Just like you scripted it.

 

[belljr]

Doh.  Nevermind lol.

Not sure what I was thinking

 

[Jayded]

Big game Brian is back to rear his head. Two fumbles and a dropped first down to start.

How is any of that his fault? 

 

[Jayded]

How is any of that his fault? 

His teams always come out unprepared and flat in big games. After 26 years of head coaching, you’d think he could clean it up at this point.

I’ve never heard of forced fumbles being blamed on the head coach. That’s silly. 

 

[Jayded]

Well looks like the early yips are finally out of ND’s system. 

 

[Steve Tasker]

Why would you knock that back into play?

 

[Zegras11]

why didn't he just push it OB?

 

[NutterButter]

wow, don't know about that.   nose was out, but the nose is not touching the ground.

 

[belljr]

Boooooooooooooo

 

[Max Power]

Bad call

[Capella]

Good job by Dabo prepping that football to land an inch out of bounds. 

 

[Moe.]

Looked OB to me 

 

[belljr]

Looked OB to me 

THAT'S NOT WHY WE ARE HERE!!!@@!

 

[NutterButter]

i wish the so called rules expert would actually explain whether the ball needs to touch out of bounds to be considered out of bounds b/c no way that nose was touching.  

 

[Don't Noonan]

not sure that was conclusive enough to overturn

 

[Joe Summer]

Looks like the neck of the football was just barely touching the white line. But I wouldn't say it was conclusive evidence.

 

[JaxBill]

@MikeBeauvais: Wow, crazy stat on Hunter Renfrow they just showed there. #CFBPlayoff #NDvsCLEM https://twitter.com/MikeBeauvais/status/1079133348403077120/photo/1

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Both teams look flat. 

 

[The noD]

Rules question:

they didn’t mention it or show a good angle but the ND guy that recovered that reversed fumble ran and jumped from OB to get the ball.

whats it take for him to establish himself back in bounds? One foot, two feet, or does it matter?

Looked like he probably got one down before touching the ball. Not sure about two.

i may also be totally off. Testing out watching on Hulu and the dvr stuff kinda sucks so I didn’t run it back and watch again.

 

[culdeus]

Just want to say I had no idea which game was the Cotton Bowl.  I just assumed it was OU/Bama since I have actually seen OU gear around here with some frequency.  

Haven't seen a single sign of life from either fanbase locally, and usually even a ####ty cotton bowl featuring Ole Miss and Missou would show up in the wild here. 

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Oh wth

 

[Doctor Detroit]

And just as I say that...

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Haha, blocked. Weak.

 

[JaxBill]

Nothing like beating one guy then running through a tackle.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Lol...Aaron Rodgers agent is annoying.  So rich.

 

[Jayded]

If Love is out, ND’s pass defense is screwed.

The announcers are underplaying his importance. He’s the one All American on the defense. 

 

[NutterButter]

Yeah, ND is screwed.  They don't have Clemson level depth.  

 

[Capella]

Feels like Clemson bout to blow these dudes out 

 

[NutterButter]

If Love and Okwara is out, ND’s pass defense is extra screwed.

Updated that for you

 

[Politician Spock]

T-rex arms

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Game seems flat. 

 

[culdeus]

Have we had a real talk about the Ray Liotta Chantix commercials yet?

I'm not certain of this, but I think that the whole "must re-establish yourself" thing only applies to offensive pass receivers.

 

[Jayded]

Dropping like flies. Also the best players at their positions too.

If Love and Okwara and Gilman is out, ND’s pass defense is extra extra screwed.
