I agree that the deck is no longer stacked in their favor, but this was baaad. OU threw for 68 yards and dominated the game.

The shocker is ou really didn’t need to throw. Gooner embarrassed them using basically two rookies to roll them for 258 on the ground, while only giving up 70.

I don't think you or @Rockethorn1978 are incorrect in your predictions. However, as both these coaches are in their 1st year and have vastly underperformed relative to their predecessors I think this game is different. These are two helmet schools of the highest level. The pressure on these HCs after this year's performance doesn't get any higher. I'm not saying there won't be players that opt out. However, were I the HC I'd let it be known they are welcome to opt out and enter the draft or portal, no harm no hate. However, they better do 1 of the 2 as they won't be playing "here" next year. Just my thought and I firmly believe that the fans bases of both would back the coach. But wtf do I know.
December 9, 20241 yr If you’re moving on to the nfl or another school, zero reason to play in a bowl game. Don’t waste time practicing the sport, instead spend time improving your combine numbers. most bowl games were pointless before but who is going to care about them in a playoff era. They’re like the NIT tourney in basketball now. They may survive just because espn needs content for live tv and the news/talk programs.

It is just going to be a party for Michigan and Alabama.

I don’t deny there’s a ton of pressure on DeBoer right now, but beating Michigan in a meaningless bowl game isn’t going to buy him any grace with angry Bama fans. I’m not a Michigan fan, but it feels like their fan base, happy off their first NC in 25 years, is giving Moore a mulligan for this season after all the talent they lost and he did beat tOSU. If he doesn’t start to produce with all the NIL support he is getting, the seat will get hot in a couple of years.
December 9, 20241 yr A win for DeBoer is meaningless. A loss for DeBoer is a serious problem for him.

Does beating OSU help, absolutely. Does getting beat by Bama enrage the Michigan fans.. would it enrage Texas fans. Does Moore have a wiggle room, yes. Would getting beat, or worse beat badly by Bama decrease the good will.. Yes. Yes it fucking would. As a tshirt Michigan fan and a Longhorn.. Well... that's my take.

Sure, people were mad in the moment that we lost. Nobody enjoys that. But overall program direction with a new coach are more important and I don’t remember the consensus opinion being “this guy can’t get it done” because of a meaningless bowl game loss.

He cannot lose the bowl game to a .550 quality team too. 7 hours ago, RomaVicta said: Kind of like us playing A&M. It's a bigger deal to lose than to win.

I’ve been a Bama fan my whole life. My dad and grandfather played at Alabama. The delusion is real. All people need to know is Bama lost to two shitty teams and you can’t expect the committee to penalize a team for playing in a conference championship. I’m disappointed but only at Alabama’s performance.

Seemed sort of hostile that I must be some kind of genetically deficient human to have failed to grasp the importance of Pat McAfee nor even know his name. Okay, maybe I read too much into it. I remain unfamiliar with McAfee. I meant merely to be pointed rather than hostile. Apologies if I missed the mark.

McAfee is also a polarizing figure on Gameday as well. I think he’s great, but a lot of old guys, at heart, at least, want him off of their Saturday morning lawns. Check out the next Gameday to probably be disgusted.
