I legitimately enjoyed the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve

Me too. The Rate Bowl that went into OT today was good, too. The lower tier bowls are often the most entertaining every year.

I'll never understand why this board hates more football.

These ignorant sports app bettors are just a bunch of whiny dunces who desperately need to blame everyone else for their poor decisions.

Well said.

My dad and I watched the whole game together. Ohio made a bunch of mistakes, too. The main difference was they were able to run the ball. To suggest UNLV threw the game is laughable.

re: Lions miss Ben Johnson big time

The Lions are still top 3 in total offense and points this season.

Injuries have been the main issue again, and the defense has been pretty mediocre.

That happens when you have one of the most overrated prospects in the last 5 years as your “Franchise QB”

Tonight has nothing to do with Caleb. This is on Ben Johnson's playcalling and the defense being unable to get off the field.

And more WR drops, which has been an issue for them.

Techs D is real

Oregon struggled against the best defenses they faced this year in Indiana and Iowa. You can even throw Penn State in there.

As long as Tech's offense doesn't shoot themselves in the foot, their defense should be able to carry them to the win, but procedure penalties and getting too cute with playcalling have been issues for them.

QB ducked his head

Exactly. It's horseshite to penalize the defense for that.

That was completely scripted/joke

Yes and no.

AJ obviously understood he needed to dance around and drag Paul through the first few rounds to make a show of it. He started throwing some punches after that, though.

The right he landed for the KO was pretty legit.

re: Indiana (-6.5) vs Bama

Indiana beat the two most talented rosters on their schedule (Penn State and OSU) by a combined 6 points. All credit to them, they won those games, but it'll be interesting to see if they can play their game against 'Bama.

I didn't mention Oregon because I haven't watched one down of their games this year, so have no clue how good they are either.

Odd post considering IU bullied Oregon in Autzen, and Oregon is more talented than Penn State.
quote:

Indiana big

This is how I'm leaning. Tonight was kind of a retard fight.

Bama could certainly beat IU, but I'm not convinced IU will out-derp Bama like OU did.

BK will go down as the worst coach in LSU history

Not even close. Getting to Atlanta his first season and pulling an eventual Heisman winner when he had a legit rebuild on his hands was impressive.

I think his contract made him complacent and lazy enough to believe he had enough rope than he actually had to figure things out eventually. I mean, his seat was hot after a losing season at ND, but he was able to rebound them into a CFP team. We fired him a month after being ranked #3.

I don't understand Australia's push to limit guns even further. How is that gonna stop some terrorist from smuggling it into the country?

It's like the NCAA being so mad at Kentucky that they give Cleveland State another year of probation.

Instead of dealing with Muslim immigrants terrorizing their country, it's easier to strip more freedoms from their law-abiding citizens.

I can’t find it but there was a “Johnny Jones is not the problem” thread on the rant that might be in the running

That was chinhoyang's magnum opus.

I think it might've been deleted because I haven't been able to find for a while, but someone here can probably ballpark what the DV count was. It was way up there.

NW Indiana burbs are easier to get to for Essentislly all of the city of Chicago and folks in SW burbs vs Arlington Heights.

lol, wut? Im by no means intimately familiar with the current Chicago traffic but this is absurd

It's not that absurd. I get what he's saying. Arlington Heights is a damn haul to the NW from downtown.

We obviously don't know exactly where the Bears would build in Indiana, but Soldier Field is closer to the state border than it is to Arlington Heights. It would likely be a straight shot down 90/94.
quote:

Bears seek $855M in public funding for infrastructure to build stadium

This article you posted supports what has been said; that the Bears are paying for the stadium itself.

The sticking point has always been the surrounding infrastructure. The Bears can't just build roads and commuter lines without the state being involved anyway.

The Bears would probably even be willing to meet the state somewhere in the middle on this if somebody would negotiate in good faith with them, but again, the state leadership has made it clear that this isn't a priority for them, hence the current situation.
quote:

Also, this is a good place to mention, as I always do, that the Bears took out $400 million in loans in 2001 to build the spaceship, have been paying on it for 24 years, but still owe about $550 million on it, because that’s the most Chicago thing ever

Pretty sure the Bears and NFL paid off their portions of the debt in 2002. It's the city that hasn't paid off theirs.
quote:

Irony is that I believe the Bears are trying to build their own stadium, just in Arlington Heights.

Exactly. The Bears have already said they're putting up the money for the stadium. They've reportedly been trying to finalize logistics and infrastructure details with the state so they can finally break ground on this thing, but the state has basically ignored them.

I'm already seeing Bears fans on social media saying this is an empty threat and just a leverage play. If Illinois politicians believe the same and don't do anything, they'll be in for a rude awakening when Indiana rolls out the red carpet just across the border.
NW Indiana doesn't necessarily mean Gary.

But the Bears should 100% consider it. They won't have to deal with the bureaucratic red tape of Illinois, and Indiana will likely give them what they want to finally get this project moving.

Just a reminder, George Halas only meant for the Bears to move to Soldier Field temporarily in the early 70s before they got a new stadium built. Here we are 50+ years later, and they're still dealing with shite from the state. They should finally give Illinois the middle finger and leave.

FIFY
I love Twizzlers, but the pull n' peels are their best offering. The stuffed ones are also good, especially the orange creamsicle.

However, my favorite licorice sticks are the non-Twizzler brand ones in different flavors you can find at old candy stores or Bass Pro Shops.

Brian Kelly would be a good fit

Honestly, Ohio U should at least give him a call. They plucked Solich off the scrap heap, and he coached there until his mid-70s.

BK likely won't be interested, but that job would be more his speed now, and he'd probably be successful.

I read a few days ago that he and the wife were divorcing but I never researched it after reading that.

I saw the same thing after he was initially put on leave, and read some rumors about an affair with a nursing student, but it seems like the school must've unearthed some bigger shite than that.
