Earlham College is in Richmond, IN on the Ohio border.  It's a Quaker school, my in laws are alum and they canceled football for 2019.  They may revisit football again...

Sounds like they'd get on Baylor's schedule pretty quickly!

Show of hands - who's wanting this Memphis team to be the 8 seed playing LSU in an expanded playoff?  Anyone?

i don't have any idea who Earlham is, but I like it!

For some reason, our longtime stadium announcer and local legend in Austin, Wally Pryor, would always slip in the Slippery Rock score, while reading off other college football scores from around the country during a Longhorn home game.  I had no idea who Slippery Rock was until I looked it up years later, but it was always funny to hear him listing off other SWC school scores, and then a Michigan score or an OU score, and then hear... "30 second remaining in the 3rd quarter, Slippery Rock 13, Towson 9"

To this day, you can find Slippery Rock apparel in the UT campus bookstore.  I have a hat.
Same with Michigan's PA announcer.  Slippery Rock wound up playing a game in Michigan Stadium a few years ago because of it.  It's about an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh.  My sister in law is an alum, and my wife's cousin played there.

This Memphis team or the Memphis team prior to their coach quitting on them prior to a meaningless bowl game?

Wait a minute, I've been assured by others here that teams don't lack motivation in these games, no matter the situation!  So I'm confused...

There's a difference between lacking motivation, and having your head coach straight up quit on you.  You know, not be there.  If you are there, lace em up, no excuses.

And for the record, if LSU pounded this Memphis team in a meaningful game, good on LSU for earning that #1 seed and getting that right

Slippery Rock was also featured by Chicago legend Ray Rayner.

I've only seen a little bit of this game, but why is PSU even bothering to throw?

From what I have seen PSU's running plays have been unstoppable but they are having trouble with the pass rush when they try to throw.

Yeah, PSU should just run up the gut 2 plays out of 3.  Memphis looks legit to me.  Even if they lose, they should be ranked higher, around 12th or so  IMHO.  15th maybe.

Not 8th?  For being the tallest midget?

They are playing #10 pretty tough.  I'd say they are better than 17th, but 15th or so if they lose this game.  They have some holes on D obviously.
