massey Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Yeah, and West Virginia's QB is out. I think it was Texas that broke his hand. So I didn't expect them to do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Wake Forest and Texas A&M played a game today the likes of which I don't recall listening to before. Between the two teams they made 62 first downs and more than 1200 yards of total offense. Wake ended up winning 55-52, and while it was a lot of fun to listen to (and one of the reasons my phone just died from running out of charge), it did make me wonder what had happened to the defenses. The game was called the Belk Bowl. Who the heck is Belk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 What the Belk are you guys talking about? And what is so impressive about Sam Darnold? He has more turnovers than anyone in college football this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novi Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Big Ten is up to 7-0. So, how about that 2nd quarter of the Orange Bowl? Has Wisconsin re-earned the right to be the Badgers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(they don't have to win, but they have to go down fighting with the leg of their opponents being chewed on, as befitting the badger moniker ) Hyper-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Well, it appears that Ohio State was actually a pretty good team that just had a couple of bad losses. It also appears that Wisconsin was a really good team who just happened to have and one bad game against a really good opponent. Overall, I'd say Ohio State and Wisconsin are both better teams than anyone thought a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 What remains to be seen is if Alabama is better off losing a game late in the season to forfeit participation in SEC championship, so that they could be better rested to win a National Championship (it has already worked once) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I don't think - after this long a layoff - that an extra week matters. However, Alabama had several key injuries in November and supposedly all those guys are back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Yeah, injuries is what I was thinking of more than anything, really. Never know who might have gone down in that extra game, and thankfully for blowing that earlier game, they don't have to find out, and still get rewarded for failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing about the long layoff is that it gives good coaches a chance to do some serious game-planning. Good coaches can plan for almost anything during bowl season. And as much as I might personally dislike him or his program, I can't say that Nick Satan isn't a good coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Georgia showed a lot of heart in the Rose Bowl. Heart won't be enough to beat Alabama. Which is a depressing prospect when you think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Alabama wins, by the transitive property the UCF Golden Knights(the team that beat the team that beat Alabama) are the true national champions. Go Orlando!

massey Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I bought a bouquet of flowers today for my girlfriend. I told the florist I needed something that said "I'm sorry I yelled at you when my team was losing." There went 90 bucks.
