Other Bowl Games

LA Bowl, Washington up 24-3 on Boise at half. Not that close. Boise has 4 first downs.

I fear this is a prelude to the JMU Oregon game.

Boise thrown 5 picks so far. 8 minutes left. 38-3.

Me too, but at least the JMU/Oregon game is a playoff pairing.

Found this interesting comment on The Athletic regarding “precious” Notre Dame. We’ll be hearing the same whining again next year.

“Notre Dame plays six ACC teams next season: North Carolina, Miami, Boston College, SMU, Stanford and Syracuse. Miami finished in the top 10 of the ESPN’s SP+ rating; SMU finished 35th, one spot ahead of Pittsburgh, and you remember how little impact that game had on Notre Dame’s strength of schedule.

North Carolina, Boston College, Stanford and Syracuse all finished with an SP+ ranking worse than Central Michigan. Of course, next year the Irish also face Michigan State, Purdue and Wisconsin, Big Ten schools with SP+ rankings worse than Kennesaw State.

Notre Dame has a schedule problem.”

The majority of the college football world knows Notre Dame has scheduling issues! And it is not because of having quality P-4 teams and Group of 5 teams!

It is easy to nitpick these stats when schedules are made years in advance....you really think if they changed UNC, BC, stanford and syracuse, with central michigan, miami ohio, JMU and UL, then they would say "n.dame strengthens schedule ahead of new 2026 cfp rules".

How is it their fault bill bilichick was a disaster in chapel hill. Isnt it ironic a former tar heel has the pats better than where the brady-less bill b. Left them??

Today’s silent bomb. Pinstripe bowl and Clemson. “Injuries and opt outs” an issue.

Enjoy what we have now. The mothership and its continued financial bleeding can’t continue. Clemson, who waits until a week plus from the end of their season to bring this up. Just seems orchestrated.

Not to mentioned the latest “we lost our coach” lines from P4s while harvesting the G6 coaches is an annual thing.

Pinstripe bowl would be amazing....i dont care if i only had 11 players i wouldnt opt out.
If they just let me sit on the field by myself for 3 hours i would prefer that to being on opt out, and maybe take a swing or two off of a batting tee.
