Title: The Turtle and The Nut (SOC 10/6/23)
Post by: MaximumSam on October 06, 2023, 09:25:31 PM
I just realized we have Friday night B1G football, so I am dutifully putting up a thread. It's been a week for me - my car got totaled, I have to find a new car, which is a sucky proposition in the current environment. Tomorrow, my wife is taking the fam to to Cedar Point, and I plan on not cooking, not cleaning, not moving, and not thinking. It will be video games and football all day long. In any event, give me your car recs.

No cooking for me, I'll be gorging at the Texas State Fair in Dallas all day tomorrow.

Unfortunately my daughter is marching at a football game tonight so we couldn't get on the road this morning like we normally would have.  So we're leaving at about 3:30 AM to be at the RV parking lot by 7, and then into the Fair by 8.

You can watch the big Texas/OU game while you’re gorging I assume.

Just grabbed a single in the Texas endzone for $300.  The market is pretty crazy this year for obvious reasons.

Dvrd Nebraska.  Sounds like a wretched game.  Nebraska has to feel good, a game they control on the road in conference and from sounds of it, played like ass and won by 13 as a 3 pt dog.

Peacock is only $5.99 per month and you can cancel at any time.

I hate the fact The B1G did this .  But it's still cheaper than going to a bar.  Purdue got scheduled last week vs Illinois, today vs Iowa, and next week vs Ohio State all on Peacock.  They did start streaming some games in 4K at least.

Jeesh,  3 weeks in a row?    They should change the name from The Peacock network to the Purdue Network.

Well, at least you are getting the most out of that $5.99.

I gotta think last year was the peak at Illinois.
I mean, the QB wasn't bad, he had a 1500 yard rusher, and the #1 scoring defense in the country.
If you can only go 8-5 with those things.....what's the plan to do better?

I am hoping that the bar I usually go to for games has Peacock. If it doesn’t, then I’m gonna show up, immediately turn around, and try to decide if it’s worth signing up now to watch 3/4 of a Rutgers game.

I like going to a bar maybe once a year.  Yeah, it'll cost $25 or so to watch a game, but it's kinda different fun, for me.  Some of the larger bars will have groups of different fan bases sitting around and you hear them whoop or groan of course.

When will most games be on pay for view?

We're going to the local "Farmer's Market" (they don't feature many farmers), then maybe to lunch at Alta Toro or somewhere.  I found my "lucky" red UGA shirt so I'm feeling better about the game now.  My wife somehow had it under a lot of other shirts.  Bummer.

We leave Tuesday for two weeks in England/Scotland/Ireland, weather looks rainy.

Aggie blitz is working, DL is pushing back Bama’s OL, running game is snuff out, but all of that is offset by Burton’s big plays

Bama quietly turning it around and with LSU teetering on dumpster fire especially on defense pretty sure that Bama just cleared their toughest hurdle left in the regular season by getting past A&M.

Cornelius Johnson….gotta catch that bud. Little low but hit you in two hands for an easy 1st down on 3rd and short that would’ve set up a 1st and goal. 

Roman Wilson has been so good this year, Johnson has been pretty bleh. Was expecting so much more from him in his senior season. 

Donovan Edwards nowhere to be found yet. Seems to be the forgotten man this year. Idk wtf going on with him but it’s starting to be concerning.

He's also not very physically gifted.  He's smart and experienced, and never asked to guard the best WR, bc the best CB in the nation is on the opposite side.  He always cheats inside.  I don't get why more.teams.dont challenge him deep.  I think UM has Johnson follow the best WR, so it seems like you could force that issue

he’s a slot nickel CB only, but for some reason he played outside on that play and he got absolutely smoked. dude is great in the slot but man he gets worked outside.

Michigan has been dealing with lot of injuries at CB, just got Will Johnson back a couple weeks ago and RS Frosh Amorion Walker and JaDen McBurrows both just got back as well. True frosh DJ Waller, Cam Calhoun, and Jyaire Hill have only played in garbage time- they haven’t given any of them a real
shot to beat out Josh Wallace who is pretty meh. They need another outside CB to step up ASAP. That’s probably the biggest weakness I see on that team right now.

But yet, in the MOST Miami way possible.  I like how Miami keeps finding the most Miami coach available.  Even in nearly literally the farthest place from them, and yet he's so fully Miami.

He's your idiot friend in NCAA trying to add rushing yards for his Heisman campaign

So where do Purdue fans sit on the Brohm vs. ND spectrum?

This would have been like MD leaving after 2011 for South Carolina, and then beat Michigan
Was rooting for the meteor.

But given a choice, I care more about ND losing than Brohm. Brohm went back to his alma mater. It's a personal connection. So my unhappiness about him leaving pales in comparison to my undying hatred for ND.

If USC makes the playoffs, they could be a dangerous 3 seed and might win round one.

I was just thinking about last night's flogging, and how the Minnesota program fits within the greater landscape of college football. I realize that the Wolverines are thinking national championship or bust, but I don't think the Gopher program has been so utterly outclassed since I've been paying attention. I've witnessed the Gophers get eviscerated more than once, but this was different.

There was ZERO excitement on campus or in the New Brickhouse last night. NONE. It was as if everyone was going in to watch a public execution. I wasn't even angry leaving last night. Maybe it's the wisdom of age, but I really don't know where to go from here.

College football has stratified to where only a small handful of programs have the NIL payroll to compete for titles. Minnesota isn't one of them, nor is it even on the radar. Any NIL money of consequence in this market is going to be the 3rd sub-under-assistant East Western sponsor of the Vikings. Even at SC, you see Caleb Williams staying in because he's taking a pay cut to go to the NFL. That's a problem for the NFL that no one seems to be talking about, but that's a different discussion.

I've never seen a coach not take a knee at the end of a game when it's clearly in hand.  I can recall way in the past a fumble when taking a knee, but it's very rare.

There is no reason whatsoever to run the ball when the game is over.

I know that wasn't the result you wanted but you got to see a heck of a game!
Thanks.  It was something, that's for sure. 

Losing always sucks, but Texas played a pretty horrible game with multiple self-inflicted head wounds, and OU played about as perfectly as they could.  I really like our chances in a rematch, should we get there.  And looking at the rest of the B12 this season,  I think it's pretty likely to be a TX-OU rematch.

Kirk Ferentz has openly stated this.  He considers total offensive yards one of the most over-rated stats in football.

Remember yards don't matter.  The only thing that matters is do you end the game with more points than the other team.  That is unless your AD puts a clause in your OC's contract that you need to score at least 25 points per game.
