College Football - Championship Week

[Andy]

Why couldn't ABC have had Mimes do the game instead of these 2 guys?

Why did Nessler do the ACC title game? That guy should be the No. 1 play by play guy.

[Jon]

I'm not saying ND is a great team. But MSU played much better against ND than they did in virtually every other game and they did the same thing last year as well. MSU should have won that game, but they didn't.

And if JLS had any ability to rebound from a tough loss at all and MSU had played even close to that well in future games, they'd have won at least three more games and been a strong bowl team.

 

But then again, the devil's in the if's.

The loss to Notre Dame didn't have that much to do with John L. Smith. That was almost all Stanton.

 

Michigan State a 7 win team? They only looked pretty good against Eastern Michigan at home. That was about it. They then looked either terrible or bad during every single Big Ten game.

 

Michigan State may have played Notre Dame well, but they were not a decent team by any stretch of the imagination.

That's the point. They should have been. If you can play that well against ND, why the hell can't you get it up to play well against Illinois, Indiana, etc? That was my point.

Shouldn't an entire Big Ten season of play carry more wieght than three quarters in a non-con game?

[E.J.]

Way to fall down Booty. :lol:

[CaliforniaRaisin]

YEAHHHHH! Woot!

[CuseCubFan69]

I hate...I mean I HATE IT when every game is the "game of the ages".

[Andy]

That is why you don't go for it a couple of minutes ago.

Just put it on mute and listen to some music in the background. That's what I do.

 

Listen to the UCLA PBP guys on AM 570!!

I like to punish myself. Remember, I'm a Cub fan.

Of course it should. I'm not saying it doesn't. The point is that Michigan State played well against ND, so to say they barely escaped a "crappy" Michigan State team, while technically true, shadows the fact that the Spartans played well enough to win that game.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

UGH!

 

PLZ REVIEW.

[CuseCubFan69]

Wow...catch the ball first there partner.

[Andy]

Not a forward pass????

[E.J.]

Wow. What a terrible, terrible mistake. Just awful.

You can't subject a game to "this team played better than their record for most of it". Then you'd have to subject that to every game, which is ridiculous.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

At least review the play, dammit.

[soccer10k]

Clear backward pass.

[UMFan83]

Why did the RB give up on such a close play? I can't believe he didn't try to fall on the ball...

 

That said, I am starting to believe that short of lofting the ball up for Jarrett, USC cant move the ball on UCLAs D

[CaliforniaRaisin]

C'mon, let's get the stop.

[Jon]

How does that help ND? Michigan State did play well enough to win that game. They were also a bad team. That doesn't help ND's reputation much.

I've seen UCLA play two games this year and for the life of me I can't see why they weren't Pac-10 contenders. They've looked really good against both ND and USC.

 

And Davie needs to stop talking about Notre Dame.

Huge brain fart.

 

And I'm not sure why they're not throwing it deep more.

The only reputation I see that ND has on this board is the team nobody likes. :D

We have NO playmakers on our offense. The defense gets tired of being on the field all game...which is what happens in the losses.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[E.J.]

WTG UCLA defense.
