Beating Oregon or OSU in the regular season is definitely more important than beating a team like SMU in the playoffs.
I would say the truth is in the middle… Yes, a playoff game is typically much more important than a regular season game, but Franklin has a big-game reputation that can’t be ignored. Losing both this one and @OSU would not be good for the program (unless we make the playoff and run the table). So I’m hoping we win tonight, lessening the pressure on the game in Columbus.
I'd like to win them all, but you can lose a regular season game and still win the conference -or the Natty- lose a playoff game and it's over.
You're battling never-Frankliners like MacNot and lakabrain for worst take, Eeyore.
I don't know how anybody can consider that a bad take. Even McAfee called this the biggest game in 10 years.
Oh, McAfee said so?!? Why didn't you say so in the first place?! Well that changes ... absolutely nothing. I obviously don't know what McAfee actually and exactly said, and in what context, but it also doesn't matter at all. He's a goofy entertainer.
No doubt. OSU lost the "big game" and only walked away with the Natty.Ahem. THE. GAME.
It's not. No game has more importance than a playoff game. Yes we were supposed to beat them and it was important we did.
As he was chugging a beer while shirtless. He plays to the fans. He doesn't mean half of what he says
Huhhhh, I talk about the overall health of the program and your constant crying all the time. Honestly you are thick in the head. Of course most sane folks have an eyebrow raised in a top 10 matchup. 3 point spread and yeah I’m not writing in a W in cement.
Wtf are you actually saying I bet a mortgage payment I don’t have you showed puss behavior and didn’t even post a score prediction lol
That isn’t the flex you think it is. I doubt you’ll figure out why either. Hope you win your bet snowflake.
Cause I passed puberty 35 years ago. I didn’t realize you needed me to as I rarely do score predictions. 27-24 PSU, you happy? God you’re obnoxious. Back to ignoring you and GFY!!!
At least lajolla didn’t go full db and predict 2 different winners in the same game. I mean, what kind of pussboy would do something like that, amirite?!?
We’ll run the ball, but we ran for 300 yards on them last year and still lost. Just need a B+ game from Drew and we win.
Defense and crowd need to make an impact. Need some help with turnovers and false starts.
We spent a lot of money on Knowles. Time for him to earn it. Win or lose. I just want to see tough, discplined defense for four quarters.
This is true, but you know what he means.
Then people should stop saying the playoff games weren't more important. Simple concept.
The goal is to win but, like Ohio State losing to Oregon last year, a close loss just tells you that you can contend
In a single season, yes.
I still strongly disagree about recruiting and perception means nothing now that polls don't determine a champion. We go 10-2 we're safely in.
It's not "the polls", it is winning and losing and being a dominant program to ayyract the best players. It's not the perception of the pollsters, it's the perception to the country and recruits and transfer portal and staff members we want to join us etc etc.
It's not though--getting the best players is about paying them and proving you develop guys. Recruits aren't going somewhere else if we lose tonight. That's something fans care about and they pretend recruits do. It's all about "can you get me to the next level"
