Was a really fun game to watch!

Hope she is pleased after the next 2 also!

Well, that makes one of us!

 

[Montecfo]

Well actually, I'm ok if UNC loses to Miami. But I want ND to either win out or lose.

As weak as ND's schedule is, Clemson's is weaker.

 

[Out-to-Lunch]

Sorry, @harllee. But it was a good game.

 

[Montecfo]

Was pulling for NC
ND certainly did not look invincible.

 

[harllee]

ND is a good team--they totally shut down UNC's offense in the second half. Also the ND QB is very slippery. UNC's defenders would be hanging all over him and he would still make the pass. UNC was just outplayed on this one. Frankly I am just glad games are being played. Onto basketball.

The 'Heels certainly gave ND all it could handle in the first half!

Jaret Peterson for Buffalo today, 36 carries for 409 yards, 8 TDs. They just took him out of the game with a little over 2 minutes left after he crossed 400 yards. His backup scored a couple plays later. Had Peterson stayed in he'd have broken the FBS single game rushing record and most TDs.

Wow. You'd think either take him out for the second half or the fourth quarter but 2 minutes left with a chance to break those records. What did he have a bonus clause?!

Final score was 70-41, so it wasn't a total runaway. 63-41 when he went out. I guess they wanted to get him 400 yards. I bet they would've kept him in had they known how close he was to breaking those records.

What no one has a smart phone on the sidelines!

I know, right? When I noticed he was over 300 early in the 2nd half it took me about 30 seconds to find both records.

Maybe they count on some admin person to watch those kind of things and they weren't there due to covid limitations. It was a home game, so it wasn't a travel thing.

 

[Out-to-Lunch]

Well, what if he had gotten hurt in garbage time?

 

[RunningBum]

Even at a lesser football school like Buffalo, their coach makes over $600,000/yr and probably has a buyout that pays 2-3 years if they fire him. I'll let him earn that money and be the one to make that decision.

I am so proud of my UNC Tar Heels. UNC #17 just beat #10 Miami at Miami 62-26. A huge win for the Heels. Sam Howell UNC's sophomore QB played great with passing, running and receiving (!) TDs. UNC's 2 running backs (Carter and Williams) combined for 544 yards which is a NCAA record. This was UNC's final regular season game and they ended with a 8-3 record.

Another reason I am proud of the Tar Heels is that they played the entire season with no Covid cases.

Wow, that is fantastic. What a blowout. The highlight reel is amazing.

I love watching games in the snow. Some snow on the ground at Colorado. Snow falling at the Iowa game. Now watching the Wyoming game, snow falling, covered field, 16 degrees and windy.

I don't mind watching games on TV in the snow but I have never been in person to a snow game and I don't think I would like it.

Do players get hurt more in the snow slipping and sliding?

There may be a few muscle pulls from the sliding around, but I'd think that they don't build up the same kind of speed to deliver a hard shot. And probably fewer knee injuries since you really can't plant your foot as well. Now, if the ground is frozen solid, it's like playing on concrete but I think some fields have heated coils under them. Green Bay is one I'm thinking of.

I can't remember watching a big snow game in person. Flurries started a few times. Coldest I remember is watching a game in Oklahoma on Thanksgiving weekend where it rained hard and the temp was in the mid 30s in the 2nd half. That's worse than a snow, IMO. But we won and it was worth it.

68 degrees in my recliner, watching the BSU-Wyoming game on the big screen, that's what I like now.

A really unusual thing happened in the Florida versus LSU game last night. Toward the end of the game, a Florida player threw the shoe of one of the LSU players 20 years down the field (the shoe had accidentally come off). The Florida player was penalized for the unsportsmanlike conduct. This moved LSU up to the 57 yard line and the LSU kicker made a 57 yard field goal to win the game. I never have heard of a player throwing a shoe before. Immaturity.

The other thing that is amazing is that it was so foggy, the kicker could barely see the uprights and couldn't follow the flight of the ball. Huge upset win for a severely depleted LSU team.

My Oregon State Beavers are climbing out of a hole dug by the previous coach. <name redacted> They are showing flashes & stretches of games played well. Just trying to get over the hump

Last night they are playing Stanford(at home if that matters w/no fans) Game is tied going into the last couple minutes. Stanford is driving but facing stiff resistance. Stanford QB throws about 20-25 yds downfield, ball hits reciever and goes straight up in the air. Reciever falls down....and ball drops right in his mid section. Stanford is now in FG range. They kick the FG with a bit over a minute to go ahead. OS has their own drive after. QB escapes the pocket & in running about the Stanford 25 yd line. Under 30 seconds to go. Ball pops out as QB is hit right into a defenders hands. Ball game

You gotta be tough to be a Beaver fan

And that loss will likely spoil Florida's hopes to get into the big dance... and I read something earlier today that Florida's coach was belly-aching about Ohio State playing fewer games so Ohio State shouldn't be in... sounded like sour grapes to me.

Rumor around Chapel Hill is that UNC might play Florida in the Orange Bowl. Wonder what the Florida coach said to the player who threw the shoe.

Ohio State is the only undefeated team in the conference. The 6th game would have been Michigan - not a challenge for the Buckeyes this year. Even if OSU lost, they would have still been on top of the Big Ten by tie breaking rules. They earned it.
