***2024-25 CFB Playoff/Bowl (Dec. 17-Jan. 20) Games Thread***

[Mr Janny]

You could call offensive holding on every freaking play....every one. When it is called can be so devastating and the punitive negative yardage is so disproportionate.....as Cyclone fans of course we lived this the entire Big 8 years with a-hole referees favoring Nebraska and Oklahoma.....but like tonight, it may not make a difference with the talent differential.....infuriating nonetheless.

Meh: "everybody does it" vs. "he didn't do it". One of those is a lot harder to get worked up about.

Its the last number I read about. Who knows. There are no guardrails or rules. Just a major cluster fuc*. Anyone who thinks this is the future is smoking crack.

You are expecting players to make less money going forward?

I'm expecting rules.

I’m expecting construction companies to be less busy at the very least

Staff salaries and buyouts reexamined

Why couldn't Kirk recuse himself from this game.....tired of hearing him.

every contact play....the Notre Dame player goes backwards. ridiculous.

 

[Mr Janny]

I hope they do $50 million next year while poaching the best of schools that previously have never been on that end of such deals

Getting this to be championships for sale is the hope that some type of reform occurs

Maybe. But it'd be different if Ohio State was some outlier. They're a blue blood. No stranger to the Playoff in prior seasons. And it's not like they were untouchable. They dropped two games this year. They're very good, but it's not like they were head and shoulders better than any other team this year.

Linemen 5 yards downfield there.

 

[dirtyninety]

Rush three on this 3rd down Notre Dame!!! that will fool them!!!

 

[dirtyninety]

watch Billy Ray Cyrus performance or watch OSU easily convert this third down and score before half. tough decision.

 

[isufbcurt]

ND defense has been passive so far. They usually blitz like crazy but haven't been blitzing this game.

Chip has em dialed in.

 

[Prone2Clone]

I have a question. Who are these girls at football games who scream like they're being attacked by a grizzly bear whenever the ball carrier is still on his feet after he's gained two or three yards?

They're called "woo woo girls."

Anyone that's been to Nashville knows this.

 

[Inthesystem]

Skycast - don’t have to listen to the announcers.

 

[exCYtable]

Why would Iowa spend $2 million on a QB when they are clearly light years behind an Ohio State at every position and have so many other needs? It's not like QB is the only piece they were missing.

 

[fsanford]

Howard 14 out of 15.

If he is that good Irish don't have chance

 

[AlaCyclone]

I'm out!

 

[CYedUp]

This game is over already

Because their ass hurt, brain dead, scum bag fans believe in them.
