Oh weird. I just let a little 'yes' slip out under my breath when TTUN scored. I think it's more hating 'bama than liking their opponent, or conference pride, etc.
You should take something for that.

So I was thinking about the whole, didn't care aspect of bowl upsets. When there's reporting behind it, it makes sense, but it's often just a rorschach test. Something surprises, we read into it reasons that go beyond, "That other team might be good" and "CFB is random."

So today, lets look at the games. Who has the most "not into it factor":
-Michigan had a way disappointing year, but Bama was closer to a playoff spot. I guess Bama, though it seems even.
-Minnesota was a game from a division title. Auburn was out of it much earlier. Minnesota has the edge, Thus Auburn win gets the Minnesota "did't have the energy because it was playing for something bigger."
-Rose Bowl: Oregon was one dumb upset away from being the first team left out of the playoff, a mighty honor. I'll say UW is unfortunately in the no-win situation of this excuse-making process, but a UW fan wouldn't care as Rose Bowl
-Baylor was one win from the playoff. Georgia was probably also, but in a much sadder way. Give this to Baylor since they had a chance. When UGA wins, the Bears just couldn't get up for it as they'd played much more meaningful games.

Yep. And they call it "Coke" when they order it.
Now it sounds like you're talking about Texans, at least from what I remember of the rambles of Hooky/CharleyHorse.

This is true hereabouts.  "Coke" means soft drink.  Rum and coke could be rum and Canada Dry.
Don't the folks "thereabouts" call it "Co-Cola"?  They did when/where I lived in Alabama 50 years ago.

We were talking earlier about inconsistencies in rules, and one that I really don't like, is spiking the ball to stop the clock.

Under normal circumstances, throwing the ball directly into the ground, while in the pocket, not passing the ball past the LOS, and with no receivers in sight, is flagged for Intentional Grounding.  Why should it be different all of a sudden when a team wants to stop the clock?  Shouldn't they still be penalized? 

My position is, sure, you can stop the clock if you don't have any timeouts, but you still have to take the penalty yardage along with the loss of down.
Doesn't intentional grounding also include "in order to avoid a sack"?

My grandparents did, from east rural GA.  Always thought it was funny.  
Also, still never got a solid reply on why people put peanuts in their 'Co-Cola'.

It does?  I don't see that in the wording for the NCAA rule, although all I could find was this verbage and description.

https://www.ruletool.info/ncaa-rule-7-snapping-and-passing-the-ball/3/

It does say things like "to preserve yardage" and additional rules if it's done "to preserve time" but the specific exception is made for the immediate spike.

And I'm saying I don't like that exception.  Why does it exist?  It just adds another line item to an already too complex rulebook.

If you want to save time outs and still stop the clock, then you can take the penalty for grounding. Obviously just my opinion, I simply don't see a need to make a distinction in cases and treat them differently.
The "to preserve yardage" part means the same thing as "to avoid a sack."

I attended that 1988 Hall of Fame Bowl - Bama vs UM.  I kept the program for a long time.  Cheered for Alabama back then, and their good RB, Bobby Humphrey.

I drew a lot back then, so liked the animated mascots.  Never found it odd back then, but looking at it now, why a pink elephant?  Weird.

Wtf? Michigan boned on a truly terrible roughing the passer called that should have been called intentional grounding.
