Other Bowl Games

[MarlinMan3]

If teams we're judged by a single game, Louisiana would have shuttered its doors after losing to Washington State 77-7

Yet between 2020 and 2023 Louisiana outperformed Washington State by a lot.

And we didnt have our flag somehow at every edition of espn gsmeday

Dont worry, they have never wanted oregon in either

[MarlinMan3]

Most points scored in total and in second half against oregon.
Beat them in second half by more points than any other team.

If each half were equiv of a baseball game, the series woyld be tied 1-1 about to move back to VA...

Only college football gets to change its narrative whenever they want. Sometimes first half is more important, most times second half, but suddenly not now, lol

How apropos....the mothership has on a documentsry about chiefs vs bills and they said the rivalry went back to before the first super bowl....

Back then: AFL has no chance
Now: greatest playoff game ever
Meanwhile:
Bills keep failing but keep getting more and more chances.

It is almost as if espn has no mirrors.....

They know and they are doing.

The 'bought and paid for' talking heads would have kept the 2008 Arizona Cardnils out of the playoffs.

They made it to the Super Bowl and lost by 4 points.

The committee wanted JMU to get blown out 70–7, but it was 51–34 if they still cut the G6 after that, it’s pure hypocrisy and proof the playoff is rigged to protect the cartel, not competition.

Thats why moral victories matter. They had to keep it close.

Did you watch the game? Oregon blew them out in the 1st half and it was men against boys.

Credit to JMU for playing with pride. Oregon mailed it in halfway thru the 3rd quarter.

Mid-Major football is likely one crappy CFP performance away from being out of this, and it is a shame.

Unfortunately there just wasn’t a nationally-competitive team from the mid-majors this year.

These are national championship game scores:

Georgia 65, TCU 7 (2023)
USC 55, Oklahoma 19 (2005)
Alabama 52, Ohio State 24 (2021)
Clemson 44, Alabama 16 (2019)

The losing team didn’t belong, of course.

Great work, but how about a cajuns vermilion winged helmet just for the heck of it. Actually mater dei HS in southern california has it, but we need a cajun twist

lmao.

I say we put the Metallica snake. When they sue, we just say we aint got any money for that, get out of here.

Losing 6-36 in the 1996 cotton Bowl or losing 8-38 in the 2006 Las Vegas Bowl should not be used to define the Oregon Ducks.

That freshman running back duo is insane. Passing was near perfection. D-line swatted down I think 5 pass attempts. ST was excellent. All three phases.

Their one loss was to the best team in the country this year.

Their QB will probably be the number one pick in the NFL draft.

As for JMU putting up 34, making pics in the end zone, fake punts, very slick play calling, I'd say they rep'd the 12 seed pretty well.


As for the Green Wave getting blown out, hell yea.
