Penn State's explosive comeback

Was that the shower scene?

EMERGED. 

[katmai]

Was Penn State's explosive comeback enough for playoff bid?

Only if they take Ohio State's slot.

Which they are not going to do.

Penn State is going to the Rose Bowl to play Colorado. USC

[Valmy]

I would like to thank Michigan for keeping Pedo State's foul stench from putrifying the CFP. Instead they are quarantined off in the Rose Bowl.

So Western Michigan University won the MAC and is the only other undefeated FBS school in the country (yes, their strength of schedule is considerably weaker than Alabama's.)  They'll be playing Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl; a match-up that has generated so little interest that tickets are going for $6 on Stub Hub.



Oh well, at least the many Western grads in my family are happy; hope it's not a blow-out.

$6?    

E:  Ugh it's on the 2nd.  I think I have to actually show up at work on the 3rd, so fuck that.  Lots of pretty good prices still there:  https://www.stubhub.com/cotton-bowl-tickets-2017-cotton-bowl-arlington-at-t-stadium-1-2-2017/event/9585240/?mbox=1&rS=0&abbyo=true&sliderpos=false&qtyq=false&qtyddab=false&dUpg=false&sort=price+asc

Nosebleed in Jerryworld sucks pretty hard though, even for $6.

Michigan holder Garrett Moores just won the Holder of the Year Award (aka the Peter Mortell Award).

His "highlight" tape is pretty funny

but his acceptance speech is even better

The highlight reel was the best.

Army beat Navy for the first time in forever. I'm a bit surprised. Notre Dame got beat by Navy, but Army was completely uncompetitive against ND - they looked overmatched at every position.

[Ed Anger]

I enjoyed the game. 

And the army spirit video about navy people baking cookies in combat.

[Valmy]

It was nice to see Army finally win. Man did I feel their pain in 2012, that was brutal.

Anyway if Notre Dame is going to fire Brian Kelly what the hell are they waiting for?

Some results from the 2017 season, I suspect.

Ah so he stays? Even after all the lost wins and probation?

Well maybe he turns it around.

Will Worth is a better QB than Zach Abey, at least for now (Worth is a Senior, Abey only a Soph).

The lost wins and probation are bullshit. No one cares.

Unless we are counting the 8 losses this year as lost wins. Those were bullshit too, but the kind people care about.

Really? But what about Notre Dame honor and all that?

Unless we are counting the 8 losses this year as lost wins. Those were bullshit too, but the kind people care about.

Ah well Congrats on Kelly surviving a 8 loss season.
