I consider the Texas-USC championship game, with Vince Young & Reggie Bush, as the best championship game/bowl game that I've seen.
I don't remember that game that much anymore but I remember it being back and forth quite a bit, and it was Vince Young who literally carried Texas to the win. Today, it was OSU all the way until GA came back in late 4Q. So I'd still put the Texas-USC as #1 and this GA-OSU as #2. Last edited by Edward64 : 12-31-2022 at 11:33 PM. |

Ruggles finishes his career (presumably) without ever hitting a field goal of 50 or more. 0/5 lifetime, dating back to his time at UNC.
His previous brush with infamy was missing a 35 yarder that could have won the eventual 6OT game against Va Tech in 2019.

Now that it is 2023, Stetson’s pension is going to kick in. I wonder if he’ll come out of retirement to play the championship game.

Ugh. What a day. Glad we cooked a nice gourmet meal and stayed away from the internet.
But... every time I'm even tempted to think about TCY again, something like that happens. What a mess. At least I'll be OK with it in a few hours. It used to bother me a lot more. |

Hmmm. I don't remember that game. But 2018 was with Chad Morris and I'm sure I was in my "depths of despair" and had soured on college football (we were 0-8 in SEC and 2-10 overall) |

I'm sort of mad the announcers who didn't point out what Jon did. They made Riggles sound like he was automatic when the truth was he has never kicked a 50 yard FG. His longest is 48, and he has missed all 5 he has attempted. It made the miss sound worse that it actually was.
As for Bennett, I think he will make a great coach some day if he chooses that route. I think he was planning on going to law school before this all happened. But the only talent he has that is NFL level is heart. |

Yeah I had no idea. That makes the last sequence even weirder. It infuriates me when NFL teams get to about the 35 and settle for a FG. Even more ridiculous when college teams do it especially when they don't have a reliable long-range kicker. Personally, I would have rolled Stroud out 2-3 times and given him a pass/scramble option. Once he's rolled out he's already out of the pocket so he can throw it away instead of a sack and you try it again. Maybe he gets 8-10 yards on a scramble/D breakdown.

You know the best way to make sure that the game doesn't go over? It's me putting money on it.

I thought the O/U was the toughest play to pick.
Something like 42-14 seems very possible and that's a TD short.

Grayson McCall exits the portal, will return to Coastal Carolina.
Depending on which version of the Twitterverse you believe, it was an academic issue of some sort that prevented him from going to Auburn or Florida. (one version says grades, another version says it was something to do with credits that wouldn't transfer due to his major)

That is wild, he must have just not been going to class at all. Maybe he thought these other schools would be willing to take him anyway. At least CCU was in a predicament enough to keep him around.

So any predictions for Top 3-6?
Assuming a non-blowout, GA and TCU will occupy the top 2 spots. I’m thinking … 3. OSU (possibly #2 if there is a blowout) 4. AL 5. TN 6. MI |

Michigan is locked in at 3 and Ohio State at 4. I would predict Bama at 5 but I would put Tenn at 5 due to head to head.

I saw some attempts to explain it as being not grades but rather courses (or something like that). Looking at some stuff about Coastal & courses (and what they will/won't transfer out) I wonder if he may have taken some correspondence courses or something of that sort.

Transfer credits vary from school to school, so that could be true, but I'd need to see a transcript and know the transfer rules of that particular school to know for sure.

As I understand the twitter stuff, he can graduate from CC just fine, but would have been set back had he transferred (I know only the peanut gallery stuff I saw, no clue what the actual deal is beyond that)

Eh. If you think the Dawgs come out motivated I can see a situation where they go up big then grind down clock. I think in a game like this best case scenario for the over is a close game where both teams have to keep pace. If you think the dawgs cover and the game goes over they have to score a minimum of 39 points. Not impossible by any stretch but a pretty good sized number. |

My rationale is I don't think the Dawgs pass defense is that great and was exposed by OSU. So Dawgs will need to win by scoring.
If I was Dykes, I'd reach out to Day and ask for coaches one-on-one meetings for insight & game planning. |

So follow up to this, the Michigan fan said when we got to his house that he was sick. Kept my distance and we sat in a open garage. Wake up this morning with the feeling like i swallowed water down the wrong pipe and now I'm stuck in bed with a fever while still trying to make the pork butt I started early this morning. This is fun times. |

Desperate IL laterals resulting in an interception and run back for TD.
