Doesn't seem like anything he said was out of context then. He's saying what all defensive guys want to do tbh.

I would say wanting to explicitly re-injure an already hobbled player is a pretty clear step further than what most defensive guys want to do. This wasn't just "take advantage of his throwing arm being less than 100%" or "hit him hard and make him scared to come back in" or even "get that shoulder a few times and make him overprotective."

There's a lot of rah-rah "make them leave on crutches" type talk when you're getting hyped up or talking trash, and obviously many guys are laying hits as hard as they possibly can, but actual "I'm not kidding let's make him leave with the medical staff" isn't the majority. These guys all know how shitty injuries can be and how easily it could happen to them so they don't usually wish legitimate injury on anybody. Not to say those guys don't exist, of course, but it's definitely far from "all defensive guys."

Alternate jerseys for this week, not sure how i feel... Theyre supposed to honor the 1916 team

Think they look great personally. Need dem socks!

 

[bpfd]

Chic Harley's jersey. I personally love the throwbacks this year.

 

[bucknuticus]

I feel like the numbers are we arent doing it for me

Also the blandness of the helmets. hope they put our m̶a̶r̶i̶j̶u̶a̶n̶a̶ buckeye leaves on them at least

There was a rumor that the helmets were going for a brown leather look, but we got these instead. I would have had to see them to pass judgement but I think I prefer these.

Looks similar to Iowa State's Jack Trice throwbacks.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

USC has signed a permission to contact letter for Max Browne.

Some people on Twitter are speculating that aTm not UW will be #4 in the CFP rankings today.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Way too excited for this... damn you ESPN

 

[bucknuticus]

Just trying to remember we were 16th in the first playoff rankings of 2014

 

[cdyhybrid]

I don't care about the playoffs.

I just want to beat Cal.

Fun fact I just heard on the radio:

UW and Alabama have the same number of wins vs. teams currently ranked.

 

[ag-my001]

This would be lunacy. Put A&M at 6 or 7 and I'll be extremely happy.

Also no where near a screen, so please update as available.

agreed on both counts.

Louisville at #7.
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Michigan
4. A&M
5. Washington
6. tOSU

 

[bucknuticus]

Feel like we have the most ability to move up amongst the top 10. Have 2 top 10 teams left to play. Could see us still making playoffs even if penn st goes to champ game somehow.

Agreed.

There it is.

Love Clemson at #2, baffled by Washington at #5.

 

[jfkgoblue]

LMAO at A&M at 4


Also they put Colorado, Penn State, and Wisconsin in top 15... yet still put CLEMSON at 2

 

[Rocketz]

A&M?

 

[Purple Cheeto]

David Greene is a moron.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Won't matter if we win out, aTm won't be playing in a CCG.

 

[HeySeuss]

Oh man your tag is just evil.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

That is some shit.. Huskies should be fourth

 

[El_Chino]

What the actual fuck at A&M at #4? Lmao.

They DEFINITELY did that to get people talking about it. It's all about that air time.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Won't matter if we win out, aTm won't be playing in a CCG.

Neither does the big 12 and one of their teams got in once

 

[jstevenson]

pay zero attention to that poll, it's irrelevant until the end of the year

and buckeyes, yes, you miiiiight get to go as a non-conf champ, but you better pray then that a 3-loss West champion knocks out a 2-loss Penn State, cause other wise the Nittany Lions (or a 2-loss Nebraska or Wisconsin) will be at the party with Alabama, Clemson and Washington

 

[outunderthestars]

Won't matter if we win out, aTm won't be playing in a CCG.

I can also see Clemson losing. We simply arent as good as we were last year.

 

[chaosblade]

Still too much left to be played to take that poll as who will be in the playoff.

Still don't really get A&M at 4 though.

 

[ag-my001]

Won't matter if we win out, aTm won't be playing in a CCG.

Washington was robbed.

 

[jstevenson]

Washington was robbed.

they were robbed of nothing.

aTm or Alabama will get in based on who is conference champ. A Pac-12 title would lift Washington above a titleless aTm.

chill out people

 

[chuckddd]

Team cdy on the outside looking in. As it should be.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

The Aggies are at fourth because of their superior SOS so far. As the ESPN bobbleheads said, UW is probably fine if they win out, and the only thing to potentially worry about is how things would shake out if they won the Pac-12 with 1 loss.

The Huskies still have games against USC (who will probably be ranked if they beat Oregon this week) and WSU (currently ranked) as well as the winner of the Pac-12 South (it would be best for them if Colorado wins out).

 

[Mortemis]

Yep, I don't really care being ranked #5, if we win out and win the CCG I would think they'd let us into the college playoffs.

Sucks that the margins are so damn thin, can't do anything about your SOS or whatever.

Chuck.. For Shame.. Rando deserves to be happy and in if we aren't..

Sure you can, don't schedule Rutgers, Idaho, and Portland State.

 

[Lonestar]

6 Ohio State
5 Washington
4 aTm
3 Michigan
2 Clemson
1 Alabama

There it is.

 

[squicken]

It's nice to see the committee acknowledge SOR. But I'm pretty sure A&M will lose another game. Auburn being strong as the season goes on will help their cause

 

[Mortemis]

Sure you can, don't schedule Rutgers, Idaho, and Portland State.

True, whateves tho. Barring a meltdown or some really bad luck, I feel confident we'll be in it at the end.

 

[outunderthestars]

Clemson schedules two SEC teams every year, which certainly helps....

 

[jstevenson]

undefeated Pac-12 champ Washington is in

 

[cdyhybrid]

Washington was robbed.

Nah, it doesn't matter. Still too many games to play.

Sure you can, don't schedule Rutgers, Idaho, and Portland State.

aTm's OOC is awful too, but as I said it won't matter.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

LMAO at A&M at 4


Also they put Colorado, Penn State, and Wisconsin in top 15... yet still put CLEMSON at 2

There is literally no difference between 2 and 3 when it comes to the playoffs, unless you REALLY wanted your team to wear their home uniforms in the semi. I'm not sure why there's so much outrage.

 

[cdyhybrid]

P.S. Larry Scott has the conference's only hope for the playoffs and the Heisman kicking off at 10:30pm Eastern time this weekend :jnc

 

[Lonestar]

Because of #7 and being @ #9 and #22, and all those Michigan games were @ Michigan.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Wait a minute you guys already have two rivals!

Well we have 4 rivals so...

Because of #7 and being @ #9 and #22, and all those Michigan games were @ Michigan.

#7 vs #8 is arguing semantics and Michigan doesn't have any games like Troy or NC State

In the end it matters little, but seeing a 2 next to your name looks better than 3

 

[El_Chino]

Well we have 4 rivals so...

Don't we all.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Neither measures up to the Civil Conflict though.

you left out any mention of "road games" because Michigan has no response for that.

Do also have whatever that game was, against a 2 win MSUn was. Also played Hawaii, UCF and Colorado as OOC, and Michigan gets Zero Credit for scheduling Colorado, who hasn't so much improved, as had the entire North division "devolve" (potentially also why Washington isn't top 4 yet.)
