Happy Mid-Playoffuary Eve to those who celebrate.

Grab a case of Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar™️ for the kids, pick up any last minute grilling supplies you might need from The Home Depot™️, pay for everything using your Venture Card™️ from CapitalOne™️, protect yourself from Mayhem by calling your local Allstate™️ agent, chow on a bowl of Cheez-Its™️ and wash them down with an ice cold Modelo Especial™️, For the Fighters™️.
Didn’t even wanna name drop Pop Tarts? Smh

I don’t think you’re understanding. This observation has nothing to do with Notre Dame whatsoever. I’ll try again:
It’s an absolute joke that Penn State got to play SMU and Boise State to make the final four.
I understand and agree. The playoff setup is stupid. OSU absolutely shouldn’t be playing OR tomorrow.

Let me explain again my point bc you don’t understand. Who gives a fuck? Play/beat who is in front of you. Shit happens.

I mean it was pretty obvious starting in week 7ish that the 6 seed would have a cake walk... 6 was always the sweet spot, 8/9 was fucking death row.

Those realizations aren't "fair" nor do they make sense, but they were never a surprise.

Shit happens. We’ll have to beat them eventually.
Agreed. The only problem I have is their lack of attrition. Rolling the weaker clubs makes them healthy and confident heading into the Orange Bowl.

There will be some price to pay to get by UGA. Luckily, the circumstances themselves should prevent the emotional letdown that would come after such a win.

Is Carter actually hurt or did he just have a stinger? They might've just protected him because he wasn't needed to advance.

I don’t think they would’ve held him out given it was close, but I don’t think it’s a serious injury

Penn State is not a scary team. I fully believe ND would manhandle them.

Take care of business against Georgia tomorrow night and things could be fun


If Boise State wouldn't have shit their pants, it could have been a potential win for them ... lose the TO battle 4-1 and missed 2 FG's. Ugh!

Go ASU
I alos think that if you put Scattebo's dad in pads and helmet, no one would know the difference.

Like Brock Lesnar's daughter.

This doesn't make any difference I guess, but the critical late tackle by the Texas defender looked exactly like targeting to me, and would have put ASU in position to win In regulation. The TV rules/ref expert thought it was targeting too. The ASU coach really rolled his eyes at the refs.

I hate the thought, but one wonders if there can be moments when a rules official thinks/says "there are multimillions of dollars resting on this decision, and I can't be the one who lets Texas lose."

I'm hoping that can't happen, but this particular call .... yikes.

It was textbook targeting. I can’t believe it wasn’t called.

One of those situations where ironically the refs insert themselves into the game because they don’t want to insert themselves into the game.

The pOSU squad currently playing is the juggernaut that has been missing this year.
