2023 NCAA Football

[Jeff]

Some Buckeye players said 'it seemed like they (Michigan game last year) knew every play we ran'.

Right, they need an excuse to fall back on because they can't accept that they literally got stomped on 2 years in a row by their rival.

Ok, let's say Michigan knew every play the SUCKEYES ran. How did that prevent them from tackling?

Think about it for a second and take off your shit colored glasses. You honestly think that we countered every play the SUCKEYES ran?  For the entire game?
That would require a complete overhaul of the playbook and basing the entire game around theirs.
Yeah, that's logical.

And then making a new playbook for every other opponent. And learning it, and then executing it.


You can foam at the mouth all you want but simple logic is telling you that it's not humanly possible to perfectly execute an entirely new playbook based on whatever play the opponent calls in a split second, week in and week out.

The Pac-12 network is the only only one that still charges a fee to watch. The Big Ten, SEC, and ACC networks are free to watch.

For basically 3 months a year I have to pay for a Fubo subscription so I can watch USC play a few games on that garbage network.

Yes and no, I wouldn't say the B1G is free, but I get what you're saying. Here in my area Spectrum forces you to buy the mid-tier package for more $ if you want that channel and a bunch of other ones that you'll probably never watch.

We have had Xfinity (Comcast) for thirty+ years. I may have added a sports add on sometime during that period but I don't remember it. I'll have to look it up.

Same here.
Our local cable company decided to drop the one and only Pittsburgh station we had that covers all of the Penguins games.  

Fubo was the only streaming service I could find that has it, so now I am paying for a subscription from October to June to cover the whole NHL season.

The only upside to Fubo is the record feature, so even though I am paying more, I can at least watch the recorded games whenever I want.

Next week for example, the Pens are doing their West Coast swing playing @ San Jose, Anaheim, and LA.
Normally I would have to stay up well past midnight to see those games live, but now I just watch them the next night @ 6 or 7 PM.
I can also fast-forward through the commercials and the 2 intermissions, so that is also a plus.

I'm still plenty ticked off at the cable company, but making the best of it. 

edit:
Btw...I think most if not all NCAA Football and Basketball games are eventually going be subscription-based.

That's where it's going. The NIL money has to come from somewhere, and rest assured, college Football and Basketball will ALWAYS be footing the bill for their ever popular curling teams and crew.

Cause that source is MUCH more reliable than all the 'clickbait' flyin around.

It literally says what the NCAA discussed.

Do you think the NCAA disclosed all the evidence they have gathered to date in their investigation with investigee?

NCAA investigations go on for months, years in some cases. This one is barely in it's infancy. I doubt they laid all their cards on the table.

I'm willing to go out on a limb and make a prediction though: Harbaugh won't go down for this. I think members of his staff will. And all will claim good ole Jimmy didn't know nuthin.

You and others who bleed blue-n-yellow of course will believe them.

Nobody else will.

That's ok with me as long as UCLA keeps funding their women's beach volleyball.

.....

Speaking from USC's experience... 5 years to be exact.
5.

FIVE!

That's how long it took the NC Doube Asshats to fabricate their story against USC.

[Jeff]

Prove that he did know about it.
You already have him as guilty until proven innocent.... come on, let's see the proof!

Haters gonna hate!

If AND ONLY IF the allegations of his part prove to be true, and they have actual evidence that supports the allegations, this Stalions guy is more than likely going to take one for the team and the program and say he acted on his own.

Unless the NCAA uncovers emails, texts, or other physical evidence that directly implicates anyone else, it will be nearly impossible to prove conclusively otherwise.

Having said that, the NCAA could still drop the hammer on them for the improper actions of a low-level staffer, whether he acted alone or not, because he is still an employee of the university.

My only hope is like James said, that they don't drag it out for years when an investigation like this should be able to be wrapped up in a few months at most.  Either the evidence is there, or it isn't. Dragging it out only makes it worse, but given the past history, this will more than likely turn into another NCAA shitshow.
