Was Deboer channeling CJF going for a 4th and two inside his own 20 with just under 9 minutes left? I guess the analytics say go for it at that time? Reeked of desperation. Blew up in his face. 28-7 Dawgs.
Not watching the game, but following on Yahoo. Couldn't believe DeBoer did that. They had plenty of time. Should've punted.

What else could he have done? He had to “pull the goalie” and hope for a miracle. I thought it was stupid as ****, too, but he wasn’t;t winning unless he tried that

It’s evident that @Tom McAndrew has a lot on his plate today, so I’ll start this myself. Good idea to take advantage of our cheerful disposition today, if you ask me. Tom, you might see it appropriate to make this an official thread with you as OP, IDC about priority.

BYU 7-21 TTU, mid-third. BYU does not seem to have the kind of offense that would allow a comeback, not against this very quick TTU defense.
Who ya got ISU or IU? I think IU is much better than last year. Does this game mean as much to OSU players given what transpired year after the loss to UM and how they recovered and won the Natty?
Should be a great game. IU passed a huge test on the road by beating Oregon and I think that bolstered their confidence. Has OSU really been challenged by a quality team?
Two excellent QBs, both teams have great receivers but OSU's are at a higher level. If OSU can't run, they lose. If IU can't pass, they lose.

Agree. The tight end had dropped an easy catch the play before, would have been a first down. Fourth and two, you need to call a better play than they did. Bama wasn’t getting a TD on an explosive play.

I don't think this is an elite Georgia team. But they took apart Bama in the SEC Championship game. (I don't think this is a particularly strong Bama team, as well.)

What has happened to Jenny Taft? She's aged 15 years in just the last 5.

I wonder what has happened to her once glorious boobs.

cignetti seems like an a$$hole. First, there‘s the comment he made after beating Penn State. Then in tonight’s pregame, they showed a video of him at an iu pep rally screaming that pu, T™️osu, and um suck. He‘s right. They do, but it isn’t a good look for a coach yelling it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if his success at IU doesn’t last long.

Likewise. And since it’s my thread, my earlier declaration in another thread that I would not watch OSU-IU tonight is null and void.

It's what goofy despots from the 'Burgh do.

I know we're supposed to wish misery at every opportunity for OSU, but I wouldn't mind if they boatrace that smug arsehole. I mean Ohio State is Ohio State and they pretty much roll everybody. May as well add IU to that list.

LOL. But you made a fundamental mistake. The thread is on the McAndrew Board, and board rules always trump thread rules.

@BobPSU92 was correct in throwing the flag. He should also have thrown one against @Nittering Nabob.
Ahem! Unlike the old board, there are no official "board rules" clearly posted for everyone to accept and follow. Why the change in policy?

I think Georgia is coming on at the right time. It was a relatively inexperienced group of starters at the beginning of the season. If a team can pressure Stockton and keep him from scrambling and limit Branch, Georgia is beatable.

I would like to see OSU crush them as well. We don’t need another team in the Big that’s looked at as world beaters…hard enough to compete with OSU, Michigan, and now Oregon.

Kind of amazing how the B1G championship game has been running the exact same style team intros (videos included) for at least a decade.

The stadium looks half empty in Charlotte for the ACC Championship. Not a good look, but I can't think of one reason why I would attend either.
