2024-25 BOWL GAME WATCH PARTY

[Pete]

NIL has eliminated the SEC's dominance as everyone can pay players now.

Be careful, don’t say that around Alabama Jones. You’ll have all of espn coming after you.

Over or under a new coach in bama land in 3 years? I hate to see Michigan win.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Michigan beat Alabama twice in a calendar year.

Still not trading ND trajectory for theirs. Harbaugh and some really good timing got them a championship. Harbaugh is gone now.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Herbie is arguing with guys on X now lol. He's been called out mercilessly.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Thank you for this. It's everything.

 

[Terry Jillery]

As much as I hate Michigan, at least they just added in a big way a shut the fuck up to the SEC.

 

[Terry Jillery]

4 best teams in college football are without a doubt Oregon, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Georgia. Change my mind. The committee nailed it.

All these cry babies like Herbstreet will use their cognitive dissonance to fight to the end to defend their shit opinions but they’re wrong.

 

[forkbeard3777]

Glad to see Tennessee (most happy about this one), Alabama, and Oklahoma lose. But some of you, yikes … show me on the doll where the SEC touched you.

Maybe Texas …?

Beating Georgia tomorrow would be equivalent to blowing up the SEC Death Star at this point

Was just thinking the same thing it’s up to us

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

Should raise some questions about how good that Ga defense really is. That Bama Oline was terrible today

I saw their game against UT. It's ok to be worried about Georgia. That's a damn powerful team

 

[CANONIZEFATHERSORIN]

The amount of people on here celebrating a Michigan win is alarming. I thought we were a proper board.

Bama loss brings more joy than Michigan win brings annoyance, sorry to say it.

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

I don’t understand when fans say Michigan isn’t a rival. And yes, I understand the history. Fuck that. They’re a rival and enemy, lol.

You have to earn rival status. There should be a history.

Just because I hate tOSU with a burning passion does not make them a rival.

scUM hasn't earned "rival"...

I honestly don’t know a soul who listens to Finebaum, I’m not sure who the second guy is, and damn, Sexton does look like he could be a sweaty, red faced slave driver that should be dressed in seersucker.

Jimmy Pitaro is from Westchester County, New York. I doubt he saw a college football game in his life before 2018.

I've had the same thought countless times about a few of the folks on IE. If a girl breaks your heart, you don't run around in public crying and yelling, "She didn't hurt me!" or celebrate when she gets her heart broken. That all just screams insecurity and "I'm hurt." You act indifferent. All the sarcastic "ESS EEE CEE" and "It just means more" and whining about SEC and Bama dominance makes you guys look really bad. There are a couple of SEC and Bama and Georgia boards that repost some of this stuff from IE and laugh at you about it.

You don't become better when someone more successful fails. You become better when they succeed and you get better than them. Gloating about the failures of someone who's been more successful is pathetic. Winners see success and want to climb to its level. Losers see success and want it to fall to their own. FFS, be Notre Dame, a legendary blue blood, and stop crying about the SEC. I love you guys and pull for ND most of the time, but this is beneath you.

 

[Huntr]

I honestly don’t know a soul who listens to Finebaum

My retired Navy vet friend from BR does, every day. Huge Tigahs fan, and, as you would expect, half a bubble off level.

 

[Terry Jillery]

No team, I hate more than Michigan, no team I’d rather see lose than Bama.
Silly afternoon

 

[Terry Jillery]

I honestly think Penn State is going to fucking kill Boise not because they are great but because these conferences are so much different and they’re going gang busters. Penn State’s gonna get murdered thereafter. If ND can manage to beat a very good (by far best in SEC) Georgia, we are cruising.

Sounds like a lot of hurt from a Bama fan

No, I have nothing to be hurt about. I'm just pointing out something that everyone outside of the ND fanbase sees. You don't carry on this much about a team or conference if they haven't hurt you. The SEC has won about half the NC's in the past 25 years, and Bama has won 6 of those. I realize that as a blueblood with a long history of success, ND is frustrated. Whining about the SEC or Bama or celebrating when they have an off year or fail isn't a good look, though. It screams hurt and insecurity. Bama losing today or having a bad season or the SEC having an off year doesn't make ND better. ND being successful in the playoffs on a consistent basis and winning an NC or two makes ND better. Don't hope successful people fail so you feel better about your own level of success. Hope they stay successful and you do what it takes to be even more successful than them. That's a winner's approach.

 

[mrmcgrail]

I think it's more people are sick of being bludgeoned with how great the sec is and they deserve the benefit of the doubt over all these other teams even though the sec teams didn't prove it on the field

Mature Post Points!
Just not sure on a game day if those are positive or negative points, Bish!

Okay Alabama Jones thanks for the input. Just like Gillis said, now that everyone can pay players the field has evened out a little bit.

 

[BleedingGold]

This isn’t as bad if they SEC didn’t make such a stink about the playoff selection process.

More along the lines of, "Brothers, I love you all, but stop doing this stupid thing that's making you look bad!"

That's certainly one ingredient to the recipe, but I think the transfer portal may have more to do with it than NIL. Certain SEC teams aren't able just to hoard and stack their rosters with elite players.
