All of this. I would deeply love to keep politics out of sports. The same people who parrot that horsefeathers are the people who created a whole separate halftime show because a brown American was picked to do the real one and who will flat out not shut the horsefeathers up about anything they perceive as being against the wannabe Fuhrer.
They do have ski cross (and snowboard cross) if you're looking for that rush. Snowboard cross already happened and looks like it got ignored, probably because the US didn't have anyone do well in it, but ski cross is still to come.
It's ironic that the "stick to sports" crowd literally will not horsefeathers shut up about not sticking to sports. I can't emphasize enough that I know nothing whatsoever about Bad Bunny except that the Nazis hate him. If they had kept their fat yaps shut I never would have even known he exists.
Top right corner of the page there are three horizontal lines, click that, then click 'account' which will bring up a sub-menu from which you can click 'ignored users,' then type in the username you wish to ignore
Being in at all was a gift (and kinda a joke, TBH) so getting an actually fun game out of it was a bonus.
I'll never really trust Bryce Young but that was a really good game for him on the whole.
Talent identification and coaching obviously huge factors. Everyone is portaling and dropping bags, but IU is by far hitting on their acquisitions more than anyone else and that's a tribute to scouting and coaching
I wasn't saying the format was a reason. Just that maybe, NIL or otherwise, however the field is determined should not be bending over backwards to protect their teams like what happened this year.
Two years in this format and the SEC is 3-6 when not playing SEC teams. The highest ranked opponent among those 3 was #12.
Maybe there's a lesson to be learned.
I doubt that will be much of a factor. Last year ND had a 2-day rest disadvantage in the semis vs Penn State and won, then had a 1-day rest advantage for the title game vs Ohio State and lost.
They 100% do but they won't. One scoring drive, of 19 yards, in the first 55 minutes of this game is just atrocious.
Not in position to draft anyone, either.
