Title: A Song of Bert and Brian Ferentz (SOC 11/18/23)
Post by: MaximumSam on November 17, 2023, 07:25:04 PM
I was thinking Michigan and Maryland was the game of the week, but we have beaten over the head with this Michigan story for so long that we need to focus on something else. That focus is the Big Ten West, where Iowa can clinch with a win in their next two games. However, Iowa's top offensive weapon, corner Cooper Dejean, is done for the season and they are facing an Illinois team that dropped 48 on Indiana. It feels like the last year of the Big Ten West should go to the last weekend, so go Illini.

It's been a mild week in Columbus, but rain came today and cold is coming tomorrow. I can't believe Thanksgiving is this week. We aren't really doing much, but I did promise to cook on Friday but my family hates Thanksgiving food, so I need to come up with something else. They made sausage rolls on the British Baking show, something I've never made before but sounds pretty darned good. Not sure I'm going to make my own pastry, though. Maybe. But probably not.

My rule is no beans if using a long simmering cut, but if using ground meat then beans are a necessity. Also beans are great.

Looking forward to my workout today. Peloton released a Blink-182 artist series and I'm planning on making today "Blink Day" and doing 5 of the 6 workouts (the one I won't do is running, because, well, I don't run). So that'll be 10 minutes of cardio shadowboxing, 30 minutes of weights, and 3 rides that total an hour on the bike. 

Not cooking today. Wife and I are planning to actually go out to dinner for once.

Often sharing the same shelf space as Wolf Brand Chili and Hamburger Helper.

By the letter of the rule it looked like it but I would have felt REALLY bad for the defender. He didn't go high, the WR crouched down.

Ehh. He lunged high and went helmet to helmet. Exactly what the rule is trying to prevent and while we are feeling bad for the defender, the receiver is out for the game.

Who’s the color commentator for this UM game? His sole job is to clearly cover the officials arses. Terrible no call on pass interference downfield then terrible pass interference call on 4th against Maryland and he defended both, which I think both were completely wrong how they were called.

Have to win by 2 is a rule.
The tree as 1st base and the sign pole being 3rd base is a rule.
Ghost runners are a rule.
Picking 2nd means you also pick 3rd is a rule.

As a football official I was taught to call it by the spirit of the rule not the letter of the rule.  One particular area is holding. If the hold is not at the point of attack or effecting the play you don't call it unless it is a takedown hold.  So saying a rule is a rule is just not correct.

That said it was a good call of IG.

USC would make the list of most underperforming teams this year.  They might BE the list, you could perhaps include ND and Tenn, but they were preseason 13 and 12.  TCU was 17 but I think most of us figured they were posers.  Clemson started at 9.  The preseason poll this year was pretty decent so far.

Wisconsin isn’t very good, but it will play in a bowl game, which is better than not playing in a bowl game.

I was tied up with some thing and didn’t watch, and ended up finding out from a lifestream podcast on the way home. I might’ve also been a little trepidatious when I saw how it started.

If the new coach wants to take some of the sting out of my commentary that he’s done a bad job in year one, that would be cool

Northwestern has quietly gotten bowl eligible, despite a really bad start in the preseason.  They could beat Illinois and finish 7-5.

Iowa also is doing pretty well vs expectations of course at 9-2, winning the West, a bunch of close wins, that count, and one bad loss.

Wisconsin isn’t very good, but it will play in a bowl game, which is better than not playing in a bowl game.

I was tied up with some thing and didn’t watch, and ended up finding out from a lifestream podcast on the way home. I might’ve also been a little trepidatious when I saw how it started.

I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

They were down 14-0 after two drives and gave up only 3 more for the game.

Big Red showed a lot of heart last night.

It is clear that Braelon Allen is playing hurt but he gave it all he had. Kudos to him.

Tanner Mordecai put the team on his back, with a broken right hand.

Defense woke up and essentially shut down UNL after going down 14.

72K+ in the stands was good. Probably 25% for UNL though.

Students showed up late, but they were electric when they did show.

Both teams showed up with a lot of grit.
Nobody quit
Purdy played well cornsidering he's been getting 3rd string reps. mostly running the scout team all season.
Pretty even game by the stats
first time in a long time, maybe ever that the team that had more rushing yards lost

Huskers had a few too many penalties - 7 and the punter is not good.
Missed FG obviously hurt

Entertaining game even if it was a bit ugly

ya LSU was 5 ,PSU 7 tough see how things shake out.USC made a gold rush for Lincon Riley at the time he was the the toast of Town.Now just more like toast,hopefully he turns into Chip Kelly not bad but not all that either. Chip btw took the whiz kid to task
Weird that Riley doesn't have an entire thread dedicated to his downfall.  

Hmmph.

Not a single instance of twelving over the weekend. Not even close. 

The most points scored by a losing team was Memphis at 34, followed by multiple teams at 31 (not just the Gators, but the Canes and Bowling Green too). 

In all four games the winning team fell short of 40 as well. The biggest blowout was Miami losing to Louisville by 7. Memphis lost to SMUw by 4, The Gators lost to Mizzou by 2, and BG lost to Toledo by 1. 

What in the world is going on?

The SEC usually has 4-5 pretty solid teams in the middle, and two top fiveish teams.  This year, the third best team is Missouri, and somehow that name doesn't really provide much helmet these days.  Fourth best is LSU, then Ole Miss, I guess, and then Tennessee, and then ... not much.

For perception, you want your top teams to be helmet teams.  Imagine the top four in the B1G were Purdue/NW/Minny/Maryland.  They wouldn't SEEM that good even if they were.

Hard to rank order Mizzou, Ole Miss, LSU, etc.  Ole Miss beat LSU, but can't play well on the road.  LSU beat Mizzou, even though Mizzou has less losses.  Mizzou offered UGA probably their toughest test, but then struggled with Florida.  LSU has the offense to beat anybody, and the defense to lose to anybody.  They're sort of a jumble of "okay" teams with some head to head outcomes that still don't say much. 

Barn, Clanga, Cocks, Pigs, and the Nashville Nerds are putrid.

Wow, with everything else happening over the weekend, I didn't even see that.  And it wasn't just a loss, they got whipped.

Was half the team suspended the day before or something?

Mizzou struggled with Florida in CoMo too.  They almost lost that one.

They didn't want to be there.  Their second string long snapper was out.  The referees were in the bag.  The sun was in their eyes.

I watched that game off and on, probably taking in a quarter's worth of action in total.  Usually when you see those upsets of P5 teams by G5 teams, it's in close games where something crazy happens and the big boy team can't pull it out in the final moments, or allows a big score in the closing moments, or something like that.  

I don't know what AU's problem was, but I can tell you they just got whipped at the los pretty much the whole game.  After performing reasonably well on the lines against UGA.  

Freeze clearly needs to get his guys a better quality of hooker.  I just hope he's learned not to buy them over a university-owned phone.

I wonder at what point they try and measure that.  I'd guess some viewers stopped watching the first game after the half.  A lot of attendees starting leaving in the third.

Those are typically "average viewer" numbers.  Sometimes they'll also list a "peak viewers" but that's not on this one, I don't think.

Yup, undefeated U-Dub took the biggest numbers but 3 other games pulling in close to 2.5M each.  That's a pretty sizeable audience for college football games.

They must not report ratings.  Neither do BTN, SECN, LHN, ESPN+, ACCN, etc.

Interestingly the CW does report ratings and they've cracked this list a few times.

Edit: Indeed I just looked back and noticed CW is on this one, showing the FSU game bringing in over 1M viewers.

Almost 12 million total among those 4 games.
