Sounds like someone I know. He loves to bet on sports too.
I’m 75% in agreement. It would be nice to get to 10 wins though
O’Malley believes there’s a unique reason that hasn’t been announced b/c JD has given his heart & soul to this team. Or he may have simply looked at fact that Marist won’t be next to him & JJB or Mills may not be in front of him. It’s a lower tier bowl, so why risk another concussion? I think it’s the new normal & it’s either Playoffs or a bowl scrimmage. So much for ND finally winning a NY6 bowl in a meaningful manner.
This is not a legitimate concern going forward. The 12-team playoff starting next year is the NY6. Nobody is sitting out of playoff games.
Who said it was a “legitimate concern”? Just noted that the window on that has closed but another has opened via the 12-team CFP.
Respect. Every post is comic gold.
Your entire post is predicated on ND not being able to win a NY6 in a meaningful manner. The premise of the NY6 in itself is a marketing ploy to get dupes to care about what are in actuality meaningless exhibition games designed to generate money for schools, conferences, and media companies -- money that the players don't get to share in. Going forward, the games that now make up the NY6 will be part of the playoff, and as such, actually meaningful, unlike now.
I would think this bowl game means a lot to Freeman. And, I would think he’s conveying that message to the team.
No it wasn’t you silly goose. It had more to do w/ JD Bertrand. The last line was simply noting that if/when ND wins a NY6 bowl, the haters will point out that the bowl slid down the rankings as meaningless once the 12-team playoff starts. Now if you’re saying the NY6 bowls will be part of the CFB then I agree. Otherwise, ND haters won’t acknowledge they’ve finally broken the streak of NY6 bowl losses if they’re 9-3 playing another “opt-out” riddled team in the Fiesta Bowl
Gotta say, I’m a little surprised this hasn’t become more of a thing, high draft picks on teams with no prospects to win their conference or make the CFP just shutting it down in November.
The game's in two weeks. The staff has been pretty generous in allowing players to each have their moment to declare intentions but at some point you just need to make a decision and the coaches need to know who to practice. I'd kind of figure anyone who hasn't announced by tomorrow or Saturday is in.
Oregon St may not score in the game
That’s $10k each. No exactly big.
Okay Warren Buffett.
