Title: Are You There Happy Valley? It's Me, Bert (SOC Week 5)
Post by: MaximumSam on September 27, 2024, 03:33:54 PM
The wind is blowing, it's been raining all day, the high is just above 70, and that means heaven has arrived in Ohio. We've got football tonight and we've got football tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I have to travel some. My dad is sort of the lynchpin holding everything together down home, and he's having some health issues. So I've got to go down and take care of some things. My wife, not being blesses geographically, volunteered us to stop by Athens where my oldest daughter just started college. That's a good hour or two out of the way, all in the driving rain and wind, so it doesn't promise to be a great drive.

Still, I should get down home sometime tonight, to see the great traditional B1G matchup of Washington v. Rutgers. New Jersey forever.

Schedule

Washington at Rutgers, Friday, 8 pm, FOX
Minnesota at #12 Michigan, Noon, FOX
Maryland at Indiana, Noon, BTN
Nebraska at Purdue, Noon, Peacock
Wisconsin at #13 USC, 3:30 pm, CBS
#3 OSU at MSU, 7:30, Peacock
#19 Illinois at #9 PSU, 7:30, NBC
#8 Oregon at UCLA, 11 pm, FOX

Others
#20 Okie State at #23 Kansas State, Noon, ESPN
#15 Louisville at #16 ND, 3:30, Peacock
#2 Georgia at #4 Alabama, 7:30, ABC

Decided I'm not going to the high school game tonight, it's in a town about 1.5 hours away and through some heavy traffic.  The marching band can do without me this week.

So I guess I'm watching  B1G Friday Primetime tonight.  I'm indifferent to both Washington and Rutgers so... Go... Team!

Horns and Ags both play around the same time tomorrow.  We're going to have reps from both families here at the house.  I'm grilling fajitas for the gang, my i s c & a aggie wife is making the Mexican rice, bro is doing a big pot of frijoles charros.  Folks are bringing guacamole and picadillo.  Sis is making the chile con queso.  Margaritas y cervezas will be consumed.

Gonna be a good day.

Miami losing to Virginia Tech at home at half-time 24-17. wow. 

just when I want to believe in them, they go and do this. Cam Ward better ball out in the 2nd half or else....

yeah i get it conference games are always tough, but VaTech stinks. this is a team that lost to Vanderbilt in a game that wasn't really as close as the final score indicated and also lost to Rutgers....

How can UDub be this bad after playing for the NC last year.
is this a serious question? isn't the answer obvious? 

they lost the best passing QB in the country and maybe the best QB they've ever had in Penix to the NFL. they lost 3 WR's to the NFL draft. they lost literally their entire OL to the NFL draft/graduation/portal. they lost their head coach and huge chunk of their coaching staff to Alabama. they joined a new conference and have to scout/adapt to all new opponents and completely different style of play than they are used to in the PAC and ontop of that are traveling back and forth like 5,000 miles for these damn games. and they weren't a great defensive team last year and what little talent they had on that side of the ball hit the portal or the NFL draft. 

I believe they lost 20 of 22 starters from last years team and 30 players in their two deep from last year to NFL/graduation/portal and you throw in an all-new coaching staff and a massive transition to the B1G with long distance travel- they were bound to suck.

it's not remotely the same team/program. everything has changed.

Cam Ward put Miami on his back that drive and punches it in with a 17 yard TD run. 27-24, Miami clawing back only down by 3 now going into the 4th QTR. 

This is where VaTech collapses and Ward pulls off the comeback methinks.

fair point. but Rutgers might be better than we all think. and Washington is playing better right now...looked like Rutgers was about to blow them out but Washington has slowed them down so far this 2nd half...two 3 and outs now for Rutgers.

Thanks to the UGA-Bama game hype, it'll now be the 2nd- longest streak of teams playing as top-10 teams at 7 consecutive years.

Florida and FSU did it 13 straight times.  The Dawgs and Tide are just halfway there.  I had quickly looked up a few good-at-the-same-time rivalries, and OSU-UM did it maybe 6 straight times in the 70s.  But I didn't know the official 2nd-longest streak until today.

What makes the record even more impressive is that it was the last regular season game of each season, plus 2 bowls in which one beat the other and they were both still in the top 10.

It's absurd.

As they should (The characterization is in, totally correct, but it doesn’t make it a little funnier because with army, they’re probably just gonna run full back inside zone over and over and that is somehow even more disheartening if you can’t stop it)

I honestly didn’t think that was a catch at the end of the Miami game, but I very much wanted it to be.

Also, feeling groggy this morning after a nice religious dinner with some people last night. Need to wheel myself into a long run. Considered joining a local running Group that takes off shortly, but decided to ease to the start of my day.

Then settle into an afternoon of watching the early games, getting out of the Badger bar for that game and then ducking over to a friend‘s birthday event.

Greetings from a damp and overcast Ann Arbor. Flight over last night was the first time I'd been on a domestic wide body flight since college, and it handled a very choppy approach into DTW like a champion. 

Tailgate should be rain free, but more showers will be rolling through here during the game.

I get amused at all the Talking Heads prognosticating about who is going to win some game that clearly is 50-50.  I know they have to do it, and nobody really looks later at how accurate they are, but such games usually hinge on some "freak play" that cannot be predicted.

I occasionally see some post where 2-3 guys pick games ATS, and I NEVER have seen one fellow beating the spread consistently by end of year.  They nearly always are 50-50ish, rarely will anyone be even 29-21 ATS.

It's fascinating how fascinating it all is.

What is a religious dinner?
So, I’m Jewish. The Jewish Sabbath runs from Friday evening to Saturday evening. Almost every denomination has a tradition in which the sabbath is welcomed in with a meal.

There are a series of steps, lighting, candles, sanctifying, and drinking wine, washing your hands, breaking a particular bread for the sabbath meal.

I am part of what kind of amounts to a meetup group of Jewish folks in their 20s and 30s. Every so often, the organizers, which are Jewish organization, Hold dinners a few times a month. It’s loud and boisterous. You may see friends. I chatted with a few people I know and a rabbi about world politics. Solid little night. (The groups hold the value of building community and probably fostering Jewish couples)

Same. It was a bang bang 50-50 play and I feel like there just wasn’t enough indisputable evidence on the replay to be over turned. It was realllly close and I think in those situations you have to go with the ruling on the field every time. 

Miami caught a break I think and they may just be a pretender after being pushed to the wire at home by a pretty lousy VaTech team. 

Luckily for Miami they play in the ACC and with teams like Florida State and UNC…

Nebraska at Purdue is buried on Peacock. 

To me, it is even more surprising that NBC decided to bury #15 Louisville at #16 Notre Dame on Peacock too. And NBC proper has no Noon or 3:30 kicks today.

NBC has nothing today until the 7:30 #19 Illinois at #9 Penn State game, and nobody will watch it because all eyes will be on Georgia/Bama.

Ohio State is also buried on Peacock tonight.

What the hell are they thinking?

Michigan just isn’t as good at LB as they were last year. 

Jaishawn Barham the big time transfer portal pick up has been a major disappointment. He just isn’t as disciplined and sound as Junior Colson. 

And Ernest Hausmann doesn’t look like he’s taken the next step with another year in the system and a full-time starter role. Mike Barrett was just flat out better in coverage and at reading his keys and getting run stops. Hausmann is bigger, stronger, faster, more explosive but he just isn’t as smart and disciplined of a linebacker.

Very disappointed in this starting LB duo. Had much higher hopes for them both.

They are both worthy, awesome players but…..

Hunter won’t because Colorado will lose a bunch more games. Colorado is 3-1 but they were 3-1 at this point last year and went 1-7 to close the season. More of the same this year, I think.

Johnson won’t because his coaches won’t play him on offense. I think if they gave him some run on offense he might have a shot though.

Kalel Mullings. My god man I love watching this kid run. Just a battering ram, physical chain mover but with sweet feet, great vision, good contact balance, and more burst/speed than you’d think a 230-235 pound power tackle breaking back would have.

Recruit more backs like this Sherrone.

Back. Kind of a wash of a trip, literally, as I was driving on back country roads through flash flooding warnings and parts of Portsmouth were under water. The festival I was going to was cancelled, but I did get some family time and didn't get washed away, so that's a win. Also had a good time at OU with my oldest daughter, as it was actually sunny and nice for a brief period of time. Told my wife to not expect me to do anything for the rest of the day.

Settled in. See Michigan knows who they are, up 21-3 while on pace for 200 yards of offense. Indiana-Maryland is good, Purdue suddenly has a pulse on defense, and Kentucky is giving Ole Miss all they want. Good slate of noon games.

Why would you mismanage that clock there? JFC. They could’ve taken another minute off the clock just holding the ball and running down the clock and running the ball. 

It could be 27-17 with 3:30 left instead of 4:30.

Extremely odd.

Wink sends an all out blitz in man coverage with BACK UP edge rushers in the game. Of course you’re going to give up a 1st down there.

The guy SUCKS. There’s a reason he was run out of the NFL twice. He’s a dinosaur that is past his prime and the game has passed him by.

Texas under Sark always seems to have  1 of these weird conference games where they play down to inferior competition that they should blow out. 

Also think they are missing Ewers a bit. Arch gonna be REALLY good, but Ewers already is really good, more experienced, better command of Sark’s system and he’s proven it against some top flight competition for 2 seasons and change now.

 Last year Ewers converted on 26 3rd and 10+’s downs. Which was 3rd highest in the nation behind only JJ & Dillon Gabriel.

This coaching staff is terrible.

They had that game and gave it away. Inexcusable.

No points in the second half? Shotgun on 4th and 2 feet? A 5-11 QB who can't run or avoid passes being batted down? An offense that can't keep the D off the field? The freshman RB is the best on the team and got maybe 6-7 plays? WTF are they going? Playing the loyalty game with seniors on defense who are clearly not as good as their young backups? WHY?

I'm pissed and I'm out.
Relax, Badge. You just played two teams in a row that out-talent you across the entire roster. And your starting QB is out.

Don't worry. You've got a get-right game coming up next week. Your Badgers will look like Super Bowl Champs against a Pop Warner squad.

Milroe on Bama is a cheeser video game QB, like Vick was.  For your QB to be the fastest guy on the field, it's just sort of not fair.

btw, that #17 LB on UGA is playing the role of Ryan Gosling in Remember the Titans....they need to put Petey back in.

EDIT
damn, he must've heard me, getting the stop on 4th down.  Good job, fella.

wow, he REALLY heard me!


NOTE:  I don't believe he actually heard me, as I'm in Phoenix watching on TV and he's kind of busy playing football in Tuscaloosa.  I'm making a joke again.

Makes you think...

Which college's "Sports Science" major has the highest lifetime earnings? Which college's "General Studies" major has the highest lifetime earnings?

Just how much do NFL earnings drag those averages up? :57:
This is the sad side of cfb. The guys who don't make it in the league and weren't big enough stars and/or lack the communication skills to get a broadcasting gig end up with a worthless degree and . . . Then what?

Nebraska at Purdue is buried on Peacock.

To me, it is even more surprising that NBC decided to bury #15 Louisville at #16 Notre Dame on Peacock too. And NBC proper has no Noon or 3:30 kicks today.

NBC has nothing today until the 7:30 #19 Illinois at #9 Penn State game, and nobody will watch it because all eyes will be on Georgia/Bama.

Ohio State is also buried on Peacock tonight.

What the hell are they thinking?

A "general" college degree is an entry to a lot of jobs that don't require knowledge in that subject matter.  You have to be willing and able to work at it.  If you're functionally illiterate it's not going to help.

I got to know a Porsche/Audi car salesman who played CFB and then whatever the pro league was below the NFL.  He let me drive some cars at times.  He had a college degree, I suspect, in something, maybe.  This was when I was still in school and very poor.

I'm a novice fan/follower in the DB Cooper Caper.And evidently the FBI was big in hiring attorneys or accountants as agents then molding them

 And yes to the Penn State I was listening to the OSU/MSU game on the radio and had that game on the tv while working around the house. The Illini scored very early not sure if it was in their 1st possession or not.Have no idea what they or Bert were doing but they weren't stepping on the gas

well damn, though I was up didn't catch much of the Dawgs/Tide game as last I looked Tide had things in hand by the end of 3

Couldn't know the Bulldogs would score three touchdowns over the final 9:46. Alabama got the only one it needed.Georgia went for it five times on fourth down and made them all. That helped make up from a 3-of-15 performance on third down.

I was driving at noon yesterday and listened to games on Sirius for the first time. Actually not bad, if you are stuck without television. Easy to transition among 6 different games, including all the B1G ones. I think they just link to one side's radio. Was listening to "Boilermaker radio" for a bit.

I feel weird because I used to really like radio since I grew up without cable. But I got an app that streams to my phone. So if I’m driving, I just play the TV broadcast on my phone and listen.

It’s probably not the best idea, and I honestly probably would try radio but the apps I’ve used are just not very good for it.

Yeah, I used to stream from my phone, but eventually got frustrated with it and prefer the radio where I can flip channels from my steering wheel. I know technology constantly upgrades, so maybe in my next car it will make more sense to stream.

Sirius channel 84 is constantly updating scores and will send you to some of the bigger games around the country to listen to snippets.  If you’re in a car it’s not a bad way to keep up with what is happening.

It was weird yesterday.  I was at a golf outing, so had the phone available to occasionally check scores  

- Michigan Up big against Minnesota, makes sense

-What is going on with Nebraska and Purdue with 00 so late in the game?

Quite a bit later:

-What the F? Michigan 24, Minnesota 14??

-ahh, Huskers pulling away.  


And it just continued last night. Had two televisions on watching the buckeyes versus Spartans and Alabama versus Georgia. Turn that game off and then check the score much later and was like what the hell?

Crazy day.

On a few occasions I've listened to games there where they had both broadcasts. The display says either:
On my prior vehicle you could option the display to show song title on your presets (loved that). If you did that and loaded the games as your presets it would show the scores and quarter. That way, you could glance down and see which one was most intriguing. If that didn't make sense, the presets display might look like:

So, you could glance at that and see that Oregon and UCLA was close but it was early in the game. You'd also see that the UGA/Bama game that looked over at 30-7 was suddenly looking close at 28-33.

are the HS WR’s just getting better these days with more passing in HS? 

seems like there are some stud true frosh WRs out there flashing big time already. JJ Smith at OSU, Ryan Williams at Bama, Ryan Wingo at Texas. And a couple more that are banged up right now and on bad teams in Cam Coleman at Auburn and Nick Marsh at Sparty. 

Oh and Kalen Daboer and his staff are incredible when it comes to offense. The fact that he can take over an offense with QBs vastly different to what he had at Washington and in year 1 make Bama and Milroe far superior to what they were last year is….wow. Milroe with Bama last year ain’t dropping 41 on a team as good as UGA. 

Bama really ain’t going nowhere with Daboer and Bama still is Kirby’s kryptonite. He literally beats everyone but them.

Both Bama and UGA have supreme rosters.  I think Deboer did well by basically doing things UGA wouldn't see on their existing film from this season.  That's a choice and it worked extremely well.  

But I'm most impressed by HCs from their halftime adjustments.  Smart turned the tide on the Tide after halftime.  Bama did nothing on offense for about 27 min of the 2nd half, while UGA gradually got back in it and eventually taking the lead.  

The fact they were able to do that is nuts.  

I'm not sure how much coaching it takes to "chuck it deep" and benefit from a guy making a play.  It was enough for Bama in the end, but Smart is a truly great in-game HC.

They’re desperate, and rude, but man that is a tough situation.


That program was never particularly good in a smaller conference, and then they upgraded to the American. They had a young coach who shot a little from us and then flame out, and this was one of those weird big swings. And Lord, it ain’t working.

Texas has 13.  I wonder which state has the most per capita?  Ohio has a lot for its population, as I recall.  North Carolina has a lot as pointed out above.

Texas FBS schools:

UT, A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, SMU, Rice, Houston, North Texas, UTEP, UTSA, Texas State, Sam Houston State.

Definitely not Texas. 30M people and 13 schools is about 1 school per 2.3M people.

Indiana is up there. 4 FBS schools and 6.85M people, or 1 per 1.7M.  

North Carolina is 7 FBS in 10.84M people, or 1 per 1.55M.

But it looks like Ohio has 8 FBS schools in 11.8M people, or 1 per 1.48M.

Not sure there are any states that I can think of that would challenge Ohio on this one.
