Replay incompetence strikes again

I love the Pirate but I love 19 play 97 yd 13 min drives that let clock expire to end qtr more

Is Fink playing action here?  He made no effort on that ball

SATURDAY

Noon, ESPN
Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic
Penn State v. Memphis

Some coaching upheaval for both teams, as Memphis lost their head coach and PSU is in between offensive coordinators.  They will be warmed by playing at JerryWorld and the nonprofit Cotton Bowl Foundation, which used to give a few cents to "underserved" youth but as far as I can tell did away with that to better serve their employees.  For example, in 2018 their president, Ohio alum Rick Baker, made a $461,377 salary, and that wasn't quite enough to put on one game, so he also got a $834,800 bonus for his efforts.  Don't worry that he was overworked, though, as he also had a CFO making $500K and several other employees making six digit salaries.  To put on one game! Go Lions.

Noon, ABC
Camping World Bowl
Notre Dame v. Iowa State

Matt Campbell keeps getting mentioned for other jobs, yet here he is still at ISU, now playing ND in a bowl game.  Two good teams (ND 19th in SP+ and ISU was 23rd) that should make for an entertaining afternoon.  ISU was a little unlucky this year with a 2 point loss to Baylor and 1 point losses to Iowa and Oklahoma.  ND canned its offensive coordinator and hasn't hired a new one, so who knows what the offense will look like.  Probably more yelling from Brian Kelly and erratic QB play.

4 pm, ESPN
Chik-Fil-A Peach Bowl
Oklahoma v. LSU

I am going on record that the Sooners will make a game out of this one.  People are acting as if they have no shot at all.  But LSU has transitioned into a glorified Big 12 team, and Oklahoma is very comfortable playing a Big 12 game.  Boomer Sooner

8 pm, ESPN
Playstation Fiesta Bowl
Clemson v Ohio State

Welp

There have been about 3-calls that went against Iowa, including the replay incompetence. The other big one was the one that called Rogaini covered up in the slot when he clearly wasn't. A lot of holding on the interior of USC's offensive line. It will be interesting to see how well USC's offensive line holds up in the 2nd half.

Generally a well-played game by both teams. Iowa up 28-17 at half. Stanley still has time to be inconsistent but in the first half he wasn't.

Stanley: 11/12 130 yards and 1-TD in the first half. Quite a line for him.

There were also some non-calls. Where were those officials from? MWC (PAC-LITE)??

Anyway, it was really fun to watch Iowa impose their will, and wreck Buch's and Leinart's night at the same time.

The only thing that wrecked watching was Gus and Klatt. Mrs. 847 kept on bugging me to turn up the volume so she could hear better. Then I finally did. Soon after, she said she wouldn't mind if I went back to my preferred volume.

Loving the B1G's 2-0 start. I hope we see 4-0 today on our way to 10-0!

Michigan is in a bowl game, correct?

I'd like to see another one of those Big Ten bowl seasons where everyone wins except for the Wolverines.

So a ten win ND team got stuck playing 7-5 ISU?
