Apparently not play football. Absolutely ridiculous call. Everyone is ripping into this call.

Our defense was dead after week 4

Fork 'em, Sparky!
Hey, we won. I will take that. 
I guess it helps to have a coach with a solid post season record. If we patch up the holes on pass-d and Tommy doesn't throw 2 picks a game, we will take the B1G West next year. We had the second best offense in the league and an excellent run-d. Just couldn't defend the pass for shit.

Because Mazzone doesn't like to stick to what was working for him. Screen passes were working. Decides to change strategy.

I don't blame him, though. Our deep coverage is nonexistent. At least with the screen, we could prevent the automatic first down.
You're killing me, UCLA. 26 confidence points I put on you to win that game. I did lose 36 confidence points on Utah State losing to Akron, admittedly, but that's Utah State and Akron, I don't feel too bad about losing points on a game in which I know basically nothing about either team.
New Mexico players are interesting to me. Seems like practically everybody would be overrated due to how god awful the high school football is in general in that state, but on the other hand, if a guy is actually good enough to get noticed and have ANY stars on a recruiting site it seems like they almost HAVE to be really good.

GBR baby!
Proud of the boys tonight. Really tough grinding game. Ozigbo looksed good, Tommy looked good
, defense looked meh but better than previous, refs were absolute shit and blew a TON of calls, and 30 unanswered points?! Wtf ucla.
With that win, the 5-7 bids are 2/2, with only Minnesota left. But we didn't belong anyways, right? We're ruining the sanctity of bowling, right?

clearly we need to open up bowl season for more 5-7 teams and a few 4-8 teams.

Yeah man, more football.
I'm still down for a KU-UCF bowl, for shits and giggles
The fact that the AutoNation Cure Bowl, the Foster Farms Bowl, and the Quick Lane Bowl even exist in the first place says more about the "sanctity" of bowling than whatever team that wins them does.

You do, but there are more bowl slots than 6 win teams, so they had to start letting in the next best teams.

and even some of the next in line declined....I think Missouri was one of the teams that declined a bowl game. They just wanted the season to end.

Hah! 4-8 Rutgers would be awesome in a bowl.
Also: Looks like the head author of the Rutgers site put a squelch on the Flood stories. At least he's trying to...
With that said, given the admission by staff writers that he squelched some negative Flood pieces during Flood's tenure is disturbing. Not surprising though, he's always been interested in promoting a positive view of the program at all costs.

He put a squelch but didn't really say anything of substance, his beat writer is the guy on top of things and says the important stuff.

Yes & John told Bobby to keep his mouth shut on certain subjects that would put the staff in a bad light.

Mazzone sucks ass. Still wondering why he's employed at UCLA.

Really happy for the Cougars.
Their game against Washington was an aberration. They are the superior team in the state by far.
Own a quality win over a team from the B1G East Juggernaut Division.

More details came out, was a citation for not paying a speeding ticket in May
Was still driving with a suspended license, no?
So, halfway decent bowl games start tomorrow, right? I mean, I'll watch anything at this point, but I'll be hating myself for it.

keep your strippers out of my American football
I lurk this thread often, but I am heading to Atlanta today for the Peach Bowl on New Year's Eve. Win or lose, I am happy with Houston's season. It's been fun as hell.
Lose lose lose!
Would a suspension be typical for a misdemeanor charge? Discipline issues are so all over the place I can never tell.

Seriously Pitt coach? Stay salty
I'm assuming it's a coaches discretion thing.
