So odd to see sooo many games mixed in with Conference Championships.

 

[zelezo vlk]

4PM seems like such a weird time for a championship game

Yup, extremely odd.

At least we'll have options this year if the CCs turn ugly.

I'm spending the day with friends back home and will be heavily lubricated, so won't matter much anyway, but I will be keeping an eye on the two regular season games I bolded.

Really wish we were prime time evening, but better than a nooner.

USC will play Oregon instead of Washington.

Washington doesn't have enough players to play due to Covid.

Gangbang in Garfield Park? I've heard about your neck of the woods...

Nope lol. Although Garfield was a place we terrorized in my youth back in the 80s.
We're having a small beach themed (since we had to cancel both our trips to Naples this year) watch party.

Vodka/cranberry/pineapple and pina coladas. I'll probably switch to Crown and 7, or Corona at some point. Steaks with Elmo's seasoning, and jumbo shrimp with Elmo's cocktail sauce to start... Then a Jack's pizza late night. Mom lives further south nowadays. Got out of GP area around 90ish.

Sounds like a blast...enjoy. We had Jack's last week and it's still as good as ever fyi. A few RHS buddies are talking about meeting somewhere in Greenwood for the game. Probably Ale Emporium assuming it's not too busy if I had to guess.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

We are probably in regardless, unless we get absolutely trounced, but if we get one upset from the Vols or NW (lol, but still), we are a lock.

I know a lot of RHS folks frequent Big Daddies, or at least they did. Same with Schneider's Pub. Haven't been to either in a couple years. Does Mad Dog still on the Long Acre?

I don't think he does but could be wrong about that...been a long time since I've been to Long Acre. Mad Dogs' nephew was in my graduating class and he used to come to a lot of our baseball games. Was always cool to be around.

Spent many a night there in my early 20s. Some good friends used to work there.

I think I heard he sold it, but not sure. Have you ever been to Big Daddy's or Schneiders?

Not Big Daddy's but Schneiders many times. It's right down the street from my house...Google Maps says 1.5 miles to be exact. Their pizza is overrated IMO. When it's time to go we'll usually just pick one up from Vito's next store instead.

I've actually taken a Jack's pizza into Schneiders. The only food I really liked there was the tenderloin. Try Big Daddy's out next time you're in Garfield area.

The Oaken Bucket Game has been canceled. Thought that'd be a fun one to watch on a Friday night.

That sucks. I was looking forward to it as well. At least we have the PAC-C and Ball State.

If Ball State hangs, that will be a fun watch given the back story. Keep in mind, Tyler Stockton is their DC.

 

[Irish YJ]

Decent article on Ball State. Looking forward to watching this one tomorrow night.

Ball State Football hungry for its first MAC Championship since 1996

USC down RB for Friday night's CC game with Oregon.

[Irish YJ]

Ball State baby!

Up 35-21. Didn't see that coming. Early of course. Still in the 1H.

 

[Irish YJ]

Wonderful night of football.

Ball State wins the MAC, and anyone but USC wins the PAC.

 

[IrishLax]

Does Northwestern have a single player that would start for Ohio State?

 

[Irish YJ]

Very early, but Ten keeping it close. They're normally good for one good game a year.....
Go Vols...

Looks like ISU is starting to warm up behind that 12 and 13 personnel. Fvck OK

Does Northwestern have a single player that would start for Ohio State?

Not sure most would start for Ball State.

 

[IrishLax]

Ohio State looking really soft right now. They still have oodles of firepower on offense but considering they have played zero legitimate teams this year it’s hard to know what to think. Northwestern just went straight down the field with a bunch of unathletic people running the ball straight at them.

They're definitely "down" this year by their standards, which still means they're better than 98% of teams.

 

[KPENN]

Moving the ball with ease and you get cute...

 

[Blazers46]

My question is, how good is Ryan Day?

 

[Irish YJ]

ISU finally converted on a 3rd down. Took a facemasking penalty.....
Grinch has been nails so far...

LOL OSU

 

[KPENN]

Holy shit! What an interception!

 

[NDRock]

Eye test says NW is better.
