Geez…even Pac 12 coaches heading to the Big 10…

I have a feeling the transfer portal is going to be very busy with the number of coaching changes going on. NIL is also now a big factor.
Recruiting off the portal is now a big part of roster building.

Every College football player is a free agent now.
Soon there will be 28 year olds in their 9th year of eligibility getting 10 million a year to play for their 6th different team.

That last drive by Michigan was textbook stuff.
Eat the clock with mostly the running game, make Ohio St burn their timeouts, kick a field goal and make them have go the length of the field for a td to win.

Bummer. Really liked him as the Beavers coach but I understand his decision based on the quickly changing landscape of college football.

Michigan St. hires Smith away from Oregon St.

The Michigan State Spartans have named Oregon State's Jonathan Smith as their new football coach, the school announced Saturday.

That explains the lackluster game last night…

Ducks were playing the Michigan St game on the scoreboard during warmups. Does that warrant a taunting penalty?

Beaver players knew coach was leaving to MSU. I’m sure that didn’t help with their performance. What feels like betrayal doesn’t motivate.

UW seems off…. DaBoer leaving?

Gonna be tough year next season for them. But the transfer portal will help restock the squad. Cameran Ward has another year…. Purple jersey?

Sheesh, the first half of Alabama games are giving me an ulcer this season. Glad to to see the offense step up and play like the defense. I wish LSU's Daniels hadn't gotten hurt, would have been better to win with him in. Playoff hopes still alive but this isn't our year. Feeling really good about Milroe for next year.

Roll Tide!!!

Dammit, these guys are going to give me a heart attack and an ulcer. Nice to have some Kick-Six revenge with the 'Corner 30'.

Gonna need to play a million times better to have a chance against Georgia next week.

Roll Tide!

HOLY SHIT!!! WHAT AN APPLE CUP!! AMAZING GAME…….WOW,!

Brute · Nov 25, 2023

That was a helluva game…

A couple crazy throws and sack …

Couged it again Josey.
Couged it again boy.

Salmo_g · Nov 25, 2023

I feared the Dawgs were gonna' "coug it."

_WW_ · Nov 25, 2023

...and Penix pulls off a pretty outstanding James Brown exit.

Porter2 · Nov 25, 2023

What a BS call on the Penix hit late in game.

But DaBoer is a coach who proves time and times again he’s gonna try to win it and not lose it.
Gutsy call.

All these recent close games have worn me out. Go Dawgs!

My expectation was that the Dawgs would have a game down the stretch where everything clicked, and they would have an easy victory. Wrong!

But... apparently close victories are their super power. Might be the kind of experience they need in post-season close games!

Go Huskies!

They have seemed to have made a habit of playing only slightly better than their current opponent, regardless of who it is. Eventually that practice usually has a way of coming around to bite you however. It promises to be a bit tougher sledding from here on forward but who knows. They do have some talent on both sides of the ball. Have to think that with a complete game they have the where with all to hang in and make it a game regardless of the competition.

Cougs were looking at a very winnable game
Props to their D
I’m sorry but the Dogs aren’t quite there IMO
They’re pretty good but pretty good won’t get them to the finish line

Maybe they will, but I don’t think at this point in the season a 12-0 team ranked #4 losing to a 11-1 team ranked #6 in the CFP rankings is “Coug’n it”.
No doubt Oregon is playing better right now. I hope Huskies go into the game as an underdog, which I think they will be.
