Just making sure he doesn't get COVID
Lol. That’s a great explanation.

Danielson commented that Brian Kelley will play that video on a loop for the whole week next time these 2 teams play. 
and Kelly will lose again

At the time the would have led 49-23 with the extra point, so 26 point lead, as opposed to going for 2 and having 27 point lead.

I thought you were talking about the Michigan game.  Didn’t read carefully.

with the win today, Jim Harbaugh is 25-2 in his last 27 games, lost only 1 B1G game, has won back to back B1G titles, and is heading to the playoff two years in a row. Still hard to believe after where he was in 2020 and that disastrous COVID year. 

IDK wtf he did to turn things around as drastically as he has. I still don't get it. I still can't stand the guy. But hey, I'll take it.

Looks out of hand.  Purdue played better than the score looks.  A few mistakes cost them greatly.  This is the difference between recruiting talent.

Brohm is usually super aggressive. I'm actually surprised that he didn't go for it on 4th down on any of those 5 FG attempts.

I thought he would for sure.  Strange

JJ only attempted 17 passes. 3 of them went for TD's however. 

Donovan Edwards runs for 185 yards and averages 7.5 YPC and scores a TD. Kid has had back to back big-time games with one hand. Insane.

Very good team and honestly a really fun team to watch. The one thing I really thought they should have done different is go for more 4th downs and settled for less field goals. Jones was simply not stoppable and they should have tried to hit him a few times on 4th down.

One huge mistake that cost Purdue 7-points was "offsides" in the 1st half on a field goal Michigan missed. Maybe the BTW is not that far distant from the BTE. I enjoyed watching Purdue's air offensive.

I mean, in fairness to Saban, what’s he supposed to say?  “We probably don’t deserve to be in.”

He’s going with the best argument he’s got and the argument being used on here. The hypothetical “well who do you think would win” argument.  But he’s only doing what any other coach would do.

It's pretty easy.
Who was around in Harbaugh's first 5 years that isn't around now?

This.
Every coach of every team would say something.  If you don't advocate for yourself, then you're a dumbshit.

That's fair,  he can say what he needs to say, but at the same time other folks can fairly and openly criticize him for it.

To mimic your argument, what is anyone else supposed to say?  "Oh yeah King Saban you're totally right.  That school with fewer losses and the better SOS doesn't belong ahead of you."

It's the same as the old 1st amendment discussion.  You have freedom of speech, but nobody ever guaranteed you freedom from consequences.
