I think he got hosed. PSU originally recruited him, and I think at the 11th hour he was stuck going there.

The more I've read from him, the more I believe this kid could star in Dumber and Dumbererer. He didn't earn any scholarships based on his brains, and it sounds like Dabbo played into that.

The most telling thing about him though is that he wanted to avoid the pressure of going to OSU. That'll be what pro scouts ask him about in 3-4 years if he's lucky enough.

On a completely different note...Wofford?

Shhhh. We'll see how OSU and UNC do this weekend.

You guys can rout us by 50, and we still won't have lost to Wofford.

But you'll have lost to a team that did lose to Wofford... so...

Nah, we're not a basketball powerhouse. We lose to dumb teams all the time. You don't, thus it's a story when you do.

It's like if OSU loses to a MAC team in football, which hasn't happened in 80 years or something like that. It WILL happen again, and when it does, it'll be big news.

I fully expect to lose to you this weekend. I have like 5% hope that we could win. I just hope we give you a game.

FSU wasn't bowl eligible.

The NCAA, who claims to care about the integrity of the game, does nothing about it.

Hah. Additionally...

4. Florida State won seven games and made a bowl game in both 2006 and 2007, right in the midst of this 35-year-long streak.

5. But the NCAA recognizes FSU’s record those years as 2-6 and 0-6, respectively. FSU had to vacate most of its wins from those years due to an academic cheating scandal.

Lavar Ball wants to create an alternate for basketball players who don't want to go to college.

His logic behind it is stupid. Essentially, he knows he fucked up pulling his kids from their schools, he sees the Euro league thing as proof nobody wants them, and now he's trying to create a league for them.

So if you also suck as a parent, don't want your kids to have good coaching, don't want them to play good talent, and don't want them to get a free education, you should send them to Lavar's league!

Wake Forest vs Texas A&M a surprisingly fun game

Post by **Leisher** » Sat Dec 30, 2017 12:24 am

OSU just beat the shit out of projected top 2 pick Sam Darnold. (8 sacks and would have been worse, but the refs let USC hold like they were the Patriots.)

Big Ten is currently 5-0 in bowl games and living up their their #1 rated conference ranking.

Too bad they don't have a team in the CFP and the fourth best conference, who is currently 0-3 in bowls, has two.

Whatever.

Puhleeez. USC was so fucking over-rated. They were blown out by Notre Dame. Beat Texas by 3, Utah by 1. Just cuz they wont the shittiest conference on earth, doesn't mean they were good.

Try not losing 2 games next year

You mean like Auburn who was guaranteed a spot had they won the SEC Championship?

That's the problem. The SEC was guaranteed a spot no matter what. That's bullshit. The SEC was the fourth best conference and are shitting the bed in the bowls. Until the southern bias is out the system is broken, and thus, has zero credibility.

Until Bama sucks... ever, the SEC will always gets an extra bump in the votes. Tell OSU to be in 6 straight CFPs.

Ah, changing your argument. Fine.

Again, the problem is Bama might suck, but we won't know because they're always rated high early in the season based on name and bias. Ditto for the annual "also ran" in the SEC thatr's ranked in the top 5, yet finishes out of the top 25.

Until the SEC, specifically Bama, starts playing by the same rules as the other conferences, the system is rigged in their favor. They play lesser opponents, fewer P5 opponents, never on the road, oversign players, etc.

Again, 3 national championships will do that for you. Bama always recruits great players and has the best coach in the game over the past several years. So it keeps building.

And it works. OSU took a chance against OU, and it didn't work out. But if they had beaten Iowa, it never would have mattered.

6 wins now, 4 against Pac 12 opponents though. What, couldn't schedule the MAC for bowls?
