These are two 2-loss teams that finished ranked #3 and #6. There have been a lot more hyped games than this. Hell, Texas/ND or Ohio State/ND for the national title would be a bigger deal. Beat me to it.

JFC that pissed me off. Saw it a little against Clemson too when he was getting torched. That effort on the RB pass play was fucking pathetic. It was absolutely pathetic, you see guys do this shit but not when you can still make a play.

Our OL has regressed and is undisciplined. Our head coach makes bonehead decisions. Our special teams is shit with a moron in charge. Our defense will play well but will quickly tire out once TOP works against them. Muhammad and Taaffe will get burned all night by the best WR corps in the country. Texas will lose. It will not be close.

January 2Jan 2 1 hour ago, hook me said: the only reason i could see it not being called on the Taaffe hit was that they considered him a runner right at the time of contact and since there were no other indicators (crown of helmet or launching) they let it slide. Should have been called by the letter of the rule if you ask me but I don’t mind it not being called when it wasn’t an attempted knockout hit and it was very very close. The ball was tipped by one of our players at the line of scrimmage.

JFC that pissed me off. Saw it a little against Clemson too when he was getting torched. That effort on the RB pass play was fucking pathetic. To me it almost looked like he lost the ball, he had his hands out while the ball was still in the air like an outfielder who can't see the fly ball.

January 2Jan 2 Weird how when Oregon plays on a neutral field they get their souls taken, as well as playing OSU earlier in the season in Eugene.

January 2Jan 2 Miami v. Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl on January 2, 1987 was the most hyped game i remember before Texas/USC. that was epic.

Where was the effort to try to stop him from scoring after the catch? It was the same body language against Clemson when they targeted him. Edited January 2Jan 2 by Beer Drinker
January 2Jan 2 That championship game USC played after winning two titles against some team was hyped pretty good. Best team in history with two Heisman trophy winners on offense. Going for the trifecta to make history. 5 minutes ago, Jive Turkey said: Miami v. Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl on January 2, 1987 was the most hyped game i remember before Texas/USC. that was epic.

This is how I read it. It was obvious he didn’t expect a ball to be thrown his way in that situation as he got turned around off the line, and then he couldn’t find the ball in the air because that would have been an easy interception. Hopefully that teaches him to lock in every play.

January 2Jan 2 Their receivers will give us fits. If last 5 min of the game Quinn would show up the whole game I don’t think Texas wins, could even get blown out but playing someone higher in completion will light a fire under their ass not to play with their food the entire game. So there’s a chance it’s not all doom and gloom. If the run game is non existent again it all hangs on the defense and Quinn. Gulp.

They have looked good the last few weeks but they have also had some offensive clunkers. Let's hope Pete has Chip's number and our offense can unfuck itself in the 3Q for something new and novel.

Are they finally playing football how we know this Texas team could or are the teams they are playing really shitting the bed? Tennessee was honestly never that good. I thought Oregon would put up a fight especially with Gabriel. If anybody wants to do a deep dive to why these 2 teams got boat raced to a team that lost to Michigan and barely beat Nebraska, I’m all ears.

Wtf I bought a lower bowl seat when the bracket was first announced and they were half that price with fees included. But I did have to sweat out that investment today. So that was the blood payment for the cheap price.
January 2Jan 2 I only rely upon the shrewd predictions of Kork Bowels and Sam Acho…..they seem to know things….

January 2Jan 2 We'll be playing our best game of the season. If Michigan can hold them, then we have a chance to do the same: Jeremiah Smith and Egbuka or nir5 Revenge game never season for whomever losea the first game of the season.
January 2Jan 2 To be honest. This IS the national championship. Whoever wins this is winning it all.I don’t know about ND, we’ll see tomorrow. But I’m not sure I would ever count UGA out of it with their defense.
January 2Jan 2 This being our first cotton bowl since Simms/Williams vs LSU 22 years ago is a bit mind-blowing.
