Exactly!!! This, this is what really made my day! The "millions" of OSU fans crying/whimpering/whining/hating life, and hating the Big Blue today. Love it!
YAY!
Michigan took the 3rd quarter off again.
I do believe he was playing hurt so... dayum woman! lolPenix cost himself a lot of money last night; couldn't hit his own ass with both hands and it only got worse the more flustered he got.
Sad to see another season end...excited to see what's up for the "Pac-12" next year.

Ack! Don't come for me, I didn't know! 😂 I guess I wasn't really paying close attention to the game because I had no idea he was hurt!
You're a multitasker, eh?
Yeah, not only did the announcers comment on Penix being hurt (more than once) watching him between plays, it was pretty obvious. I think it was a gutsy performance on his part as well as on the part of the Husky running back.
I don't know that I'd call it THAT! 😂 It's weird...I was reading U of W's forum on Reddit and they were talking about why they lost and echoing what I said (albeit in a kinder way) about Penix being off his game that night, but never ONCE did anyone say anything about him being hurt. I would think that U of W fans would be the first to bring that up since some of them were blatantly looking for an excuse why they lost. I believe you; I just thought that was odd.You're a multitasker, eh?

Wow - Saban retiring. Didn't see that coming!
Seven titles. Pretty incredible.

You could see him grimace between plays in the 4Q. He was not at his best.
Well, I guess my final take on all this is that I never wish anyone sick or hurt but I wish we (Oregon Ducks) would have played THAT Penix!
He's 72, and got nothing left to prove.
And with the kids chasing NIL money, and using the transfer portal as unrestricted free agency, who wants to try building a team around that? I think he lost at least nine players after this season.
Recently, there were two stories concerning player moves, both QBs. One was in his sixth-year, and one in his seventh.
I doubt they're going to be falling back on their graduate degrees when their playing careers fail (like most do). They're probably not pursuing graduate degrees to begin with.
The flip side of kids who leave early to enter the draft. Neither put the "Student" in "Student-Athlete" so when is CFB going to stop playing that charade?
Hmmp.
I'm pretty sure the commentators mentioned it.
But..
I think you're feeling guilty when you shouldn't. I didn't find anything offensive in what you posted.
I'm sorry if it seemed that way and very sorry if I put you on a guilt trip.
No, no, no! I was mostly trying to be funny. You didn't do a thing!!
Sad day in Alabama... What a great ride. After the 1992 season, the Tide was mainly forgotten and regulated to the bottom of the SEC and College Football in general. We had some very dark years!
It will be interesting to see who comes in and where the team goes from here.
Happy to see Ewers come back for one more season at Texas. I didn't really expect him to go pro this year, but it's nice to finally have some confirmation. He's really turned into a reliable quarterback for the Horns.
Now we just need to figure out how to develop a passing defense, and we'll be all set!

I wonder if, here on the west coast, we are getting different commentary than elsewhere? I say that jokingly, but I was just talking to my older brother and BIL and I mentioned getting some good-natured ribbing for not knowing Penix was ill/hurt Monday night and my brother's words were: "First time I heard that" and he was DEFINITELY listening to the game!
Anyway, that's old news now..my BIL said Dan Lanning announced that he is going to stay at Oregon and that's another newsflash to me as I didn't know THAT was up in the air! Something in the water. Glad he's not going anywhere.
EDIT: So Lanning was being considered to take Saban's place! Whew! The Ducks are going to have enough changes next season; that would've been a REAL blow!

Going to be a hard act to follow...
Definitely the GOAT.
I really wished he'd stayed at LSU ...
I think dynasties like Alabama had are over. He simply got better players but now with NIL and the portal, everyone can get the talent.
ESPN: "Deion Sanders is the best replacement for Nick Saban"
Nnnooooooo!!
Nnnooooooo!!
Deboer is new Alabama coach.
