I played both BB sports in HS and clearly recall games where nothing worked, or everything worked.  It just happened, randomly.  Random things happen, oddly enough.  

It is almost a statistical certainty.

No doubt. WVU would be a lot better if they had the QB who signed up to be a part of their team, but quit.

Missouri won that bowl. Ohio State was in a shootout and led late in the fourth. Iowa, well Iowa wasn’t all that good.
Bowls are weird and stupid, and finding patterns in them is often suspect. On the plus side, if this means UGA will loss, that’d be fine.
Thanks, corrected it.
"Was in a shootout" just explains away a loss?  Mmmkay.

This is the crap that makes me want to go back to pre-1949 "bowls are just for fun" rules.  Anything outside of the playoff is becoming "NFL kids don't want to get hurt and young talent needs some game experience" time.  It's not a genuine competition.  It doesn't matter if you finish ranked 12th or 17th, the season didn't end in a championship.

This playoff crap is wrecking the game we love. But WE are the minority. I went to the gym today to get training from my guy, who is a ND "fan", because he's a Catholic. He loves the playoffs because he's an Eastern Illinois grad and a Bears fan. There are more of those than there are of us.



What a crock of crap. NFL Lite. Enjoy, until you don't. Hopefully our love of cooking and food and drink will keep us together here.

I mean, a four-point favorite lost by one possession after leading in the fourth quarter. What a sign they just didn’t have it.
(OSU was good offense, so-so defense. They just saved their first loss for later)

I honestly believe in letdown moments, but I also believe the game is wonky and fun and that’s usually the reason things happen.

I think there’s a natural human instinct to want to feel put upon. And let’s face it, we’re often trashing the game we love. 
But look hard, and there’s usually something cool to appreciate if you want to see it (like 10-win Syracuse, or the unlikeliness of that late bowl yesterday, or Eric Dungey or Auburn going all out to help it’s coach)
