Where was that moxie when the East was going 0-4 against the ACC during rivalry week?

It took pain to get ready for the postseason.

They tried to outdo him:

And Washington doesn't field a basketball team.

They're in the top 25 and have a bunch of players in the NBA, actually!

Washington plays football?

I just told you Washington has a football game tonight.

 

[Sulik2]

I hope they extend to six teams with two getting a first round bye. Feels like that would be perfect. Play the first round the weekend before christmas, the semi final on 1/1 and the championship a week later.

I don't know who Austin Ward is, but I want to start following him.

 

[Branduil]

Bad sign for the refs when they miss the Kansas State QB throwing away the ball when he's like two yards past the line of scrimmage, LOL.

Shame that Mr. Ward likes the Ducks in the final.

The Stanford tree nightmare is still the worst.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Damn penalties. Come on guys. Need to get.into Oregon mode


E: What kind of F'n call was that on 3rd?


Hundley!!

 

[Tamanon]

Hundley has been pretty impressive thus far.

 

[Branduil]

Dang something on this page is making Avast go insane.

UCLA has more to fear from their own penalties than Kansas State's defense so far.

 

[Branduil]

These refs are freaking trash.

 

[cdyhybrid]

K St. pls

 

[sf2fanatic]

Duarte you shoulda had that one
E: Phew we dodge that one.


#74 get ready to blast someone and help out

 

[Branduil]

Now this is more like what I expect from Noel Mazzone.

 

[BlackGhost]

Hundley has been pretty impressive thus far.

Yeah was kinda surprised by the start, had some good runs.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Big 12 taking another beating. Hopefully OSU can beat Washington to match the SEC-W record

 

[Lee Chaolan]

She's not even the most interesting Ohio State girl they showed last night. https://vine.co/v/OwLKQ26DFQJ

Haha, yep. That was when we went down 21-6 I think

 

[Branduil]

Typical Jim Mora Jr. conservative playcalling that lets the other team back in the game.

 

[Branduil]

dagr

Finally the announcers are on it.

Kansas State has us right where they want us.

 

[theprodigy]

dagr

Finally the announcers are on it.

lmao I just noticed your new tag

 

[Purple Cheeto]

How will UCLA ever replace a QB who can barely complete 50% of his passes in a Bowl Game?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Interesting development. KState not going away.

 

[Branduil]

Fire Jim Mora Jr.

 

[rando14]

Lulz ucla

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Fire Jim Mora Jr.

Maybe an NFL team will put you out of your misery.

The funny thing is Mora is the best coach Win% wise since Bob Toledo.

Dan Guerrero sure has a great record hiring football coaches. Well, at least there's basketball... oh.

"Some fans may still be grumbling over the inaugural College Football Playoffs system, but ESPN is probably celebrating how the new system has worked out thus far. Thursday’s Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl are now officially the two most-watched cable telecasts in history.
The Rose Bowl scored an average of 28.2 million viewers; The Sugar Bowl earned 28.3 million."

Wow.

Yeah I mentioned it before, playoffs are expanding super fast.

First I was against this, but man there are so many meaningless bowl games that an expanded playoff would remove.

 

[AntoneM]

UCLA needs to stop playing not to lose.

KSU will win this unless UCLA starts taking some risks again.

UCLA is bringing pressure on D and taking shots down the field on first down. I'm not sure what else you think they should do.

Not necessarily. With teams continuing to crawl up from FCS, the bowls should still be able to fill slots even if the playoff expands to 8, particularly if the quarters are at home stadiums so less bowl sites have to pull double duty.

Maybe it would get rid of bowl games, but equally if not more likely is bowls would shift dates and maybe Fox Sports would pick up a handful.

Rushing 4 on D is bringing pressure?

Taking shots down field is risky though, too risky, but risky. You're right on that


--edit--
welp there is a sack on a 4 man rush so what do I know, lol

Really, half the bowls should just disappear, there's like what, 38 of them now?

[KingGondo]

KSU's offense is too underpowered to score points quickly.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I wouldn't complain about that. I've said a handful of times around here that 6-6, 7-5 teams have no business in a bowl game, particularly after you know many of them only won 2 or 3 games in conference and the rest against lower tier schools. I'd go so far as to limit it to schools with a minimum of 9 wins.

They brought more than 4 a few times this half. They've gotten at least two sacks that I can think of this half too.

Haha what did that fan do? Streak?

 

[ag-my001]

"A fan that went too far" is not the normal way to describe a streaker. They usually try not to acknowledge them at all. Wonder what this guy did to get special mention.

I'm fine with it. No one has to watch the bowl games, and it gives the players one more game. It's also important cos it's like 15 days of extra practice.

 

[Tamanon]

Was wondering about that half the distance nonsense.

Well, I've also said I would extend spring practice for teams that stayed home. I've thought of everything, I tell you.

[TS-08]

Wasn't this game at 31-6 like Houston/Pitt?

 

[curlyfriski]

Goddamn it UCLA
