RIPPA Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Plus most of the players have been talking about they are taking extra precautions like wearing most virtually all the time, not going out and staying socially distanced. It seems like a lot of the seniors basically being all "Don't fuck this up for us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I can't imagine any of the Playoff teams aren't locking themselves down and aren't fucking around. At least I hope they're locking themselves down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whether it plays Friday who knows. I have re-read the story about the CFP changing its policies about 5 times now (and this is what I posted about earlier in the thread) and it seems like they are only willing to move the title game but if either semi gets fucked then a team (or teams) is shit out of luck Quote The changes, which were made by the CFP's management committee during a videoconference Tuesday, also provide flexibility for the Jan. 10 national championship game in Indianapolis to be pushed back no later than Jan. 14. If one team is able to play in the title game and the other can't because of COVID-19 -- and the game can't be rescheduled -- the team that can't play will forfeit and its opponent will be declared the national champion. If both teams can't play on the original or rescheduled date, the game will be declared a no-contest and the CFP national championship will be vacated for this season. The CFP is still expecting for all games to be played with no reduction in attendance. If one of the four semifinalists is unable to participate because of a COVID-19 outbreak, the unavailable team will forfeit and its opponent will advance to the national championship. If both teams are unavailable to play in a semifinal game, it would be declared a no contest and the winner of the other semifinal game would be declared the CFP national champion.

RIPPA Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 BTW - as far as I can tell the only issues any of the 4 teams have had was with Alabama and Bill O'Brien and Doug Marrone both testing positive But three of the four teams allowed their players to travel for Christmas so Katie Bar the Door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) So the SEC is currently 0-4 in bowl games. So clearly the conference is overrated There are FAT GUY TOUCHDOWNS and then there is a 375 pounder from Minnesota FAT GUY TD Edited December 29, 2021 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 For better or worse, West Virgina and especially Minnesota are emptying the playbook tonight.

I was amused that WVU called a timeout when Minn. lined the 6'9" 380 lb. lineman up at fullback - only to see Minn. run the same play after the timeout. Big guy got the ball and ran through the line into the end zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Holiday Bowl is now officially off as it was too difficult to find a replacement opponent for NC State It is safe to say that the Wolfpack will not be putting UCLA on their Christmas card list. And also from the petty, funny department - NC State said they are counting the game as a win in their official records no matter what the NCAA says 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Yeah there are a ton of guys in the NFL at 6'6" (Justin Herbert, Nick Foles and Joe Flacco are just some of the examples) In addition to Brock - Mike Glennon and Paxton Lynch are also both 6'7" The aforementioned Dan McGwire is the tallest QB ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Maybe so, but it looks like someone on Iowa State wants Clemson to cover the spread with that baffling tip up instead of batting it down. Of course, DJ is also fucking terrible, so there's that perpetual fly in the ointment. Edited December 30, 2021 by Contentious C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
