now this is a shit slate of games

zelezo vlk · Nov 18, 2020

I was hoping for a good game or two to listen to on radio while driving all day on Saturday. Looks like Sconny/Northwestern is my only hope

-The points are tempting

I thought the points were more tempting seeing Maryland only -6 after the past couple of games by MSU, yikes. This one seems like a vegas trap; they know something we don't and are begging us to take the TD favorite. My gut says MD big time, but it gives me pause.

PANDFAN said:

I thought last week's slate was worse, personally.

I see three quality/potentially exciting games in each slot:

Early: Hoping IU can make it an entertaining game against pOSU

Mid Afternoon: Wisconsin and NW: Two bruising defensive teams. I hope NW can keep it close, at least a good enough game to catch the eye at kickoff. Wisconsin likely pulls away in the second half, better roster.

Late: Bedlam is a quality game in the PM. Might not have any CFP cache, but should be a good, fun rivalry.

Irish YJ · Nov 18, 2020

I don't think I listed them, but Kansas/TX and UNLV/CO St are postponed/canceled.

Also, OSU will not allow coaches and players family into the stadium when they play IU.

.

I agree the MD is tempting, especially with Mich St looking paltry on O.

My man. You know how to treat a girl. Don't forget the bourbon and a few good cigars. What more could a girl want, right!

Tulane - Tulsa all of a sudden became one of the funnest games of the season

fightingirish26 · Nov 19, 2020

Tulsa down 14-0 in the 4th quarter end up tying it up at 14. Tulane go right down and take the lead with like a minute left, and now Tulsa hits a hail mary to send it to overtime WOW

fightingirish26 · Nov 19, 2020

lmao now tulsa wins in OT with a pick six

tko · Nov 20, 2020

We needed Tulsa to lose. Now the pundits have more ammunition to bump us in exchange for Cincinnati should we slip up.

BeauBenken · Nov 20, 2020

So I'm watching Big Ten football then...

zelezo vlk · Nov 20, 2020

Purdue is losing to Minny 21-10. Not a great showing for the Fighting Brohms

PU doesn't look as bad as the score. And Plummer is 16/18.

I've got it on my TV but listening to my HS play semi state.

Crazy Balki · Nov 20, 2020

I don't know how Syracuse managed to beat GT this year.

They're far and away the worst team in the ACC.

RHS whooped that ass 48 - 14. Looks like Hobart now for State who I know nothing about except that they lost 2 times this year.

Chatard, Roncalli, and Cathedral are all probably going to win State again this year.

Yea, nice to have 4 Catholic schools in state for 2A, 3A, 4A, and 5A.

Looks like FW Luers is going to make it for 2A (leading a close in the 4th), but Evansville Mater lost, so no Catholic vs Catholic 2A championship.

In 1A, Laf Central Catholic lost, but at least there a Christian school (Covenant) going to state.

The only all heathen matchup is 6A lol..

I heard DB say RHS beat the #1 and #3 4A teams 77-28 the last two games, or something close to that. I totally didn't see this coming after game 2 this year. Hobart has rolled through the playoffs like we have, but hasn't had near the comp. Their only loss this year is to Andrean.

dad4aa · Nov 20, 2020

Really a shame the refs stole the win from Purdue.

zelezo vlk · Nov 20, 2020

Purdue just got jobbed

Yep. Not a Purdue fan, but got totally screwed.

Me "it couldn't have been that bad"

"oh wow, it was way worse"
Lol

That was less contact than I have with my ex...absurd refereeing.

Irish YJ · Nov 20, 2020

that call was brutally bad.

yes, they missed two FGs, but that was the refs deciding the outcome.

horrible.

Riddickulous · Nov 21, 2020

Clemson-FSU is cancelled.

They play at the same time as ND next Friday. Should add them in with the week 13 watch party.

Irish YJ · Nov 21, 2020

Going to be 30s in Utah when USC game kicks off. I know it's Utah's first game, but some of the guys on Game Day are picking the Utah.

Go Utes.
