Monumentally stupid decision. For the reason you mentioned, the weather and culture. Wisconsin had 35yrs of identity they casually flushed. I'm thrilled, but it's still breath-taking how something that dumb wasn't scotched by someone.

Well Luke did lead the Bearcats to a spot in the CFP.  It was considered a great hire at the time.  Just hasn't worked out at all.

Am I the only 1 with no interest in watching the Corso stuff today? I’m sure it’ll be lovely and I really hope he’s got the full faculties activated but I don’t want to see it. He should have pulled the plug a couple of years ago. Last year was painful and I see no reason to think 8 months down the road will be better. But the dude’s one of the greats, so thanks for the memories, Coach.

I don't mind giving him a send-off, but can they talk about football some too?  This slurp fest is pretty annoying

Just tell me the last send off doesn’t include a 90yo man putting a Buckeye on his head.

Oh I would LOVE if he debuted the Bison head as his '0 f***'s' send-off.

Herbstreit just said with a straight face that you should be rewarded for losing.

I'm not watching, but is Kirk still bringing his dog with him everywhere to keep from getting booed/heckled out of existence?

No surprise. He’s a straight up eye test guy and apologist for the traditional powers. Hell, he was still advocating for Bama over IU after they were boat raced by .500 Oklahoma, though with a little less enthusiasm.

There are multiple reasons I don't watch ESPN's "Gameday."  Herbstreit is one of them.

Dude is absolutely insufferable and has really poisoned what was a great show. Though in a way his ability to shill for the SEC for hours without coming up for air is remarkable.

Saban, of course, was pushing the same narrative.  They started out with a fairly reasonable tone implying that no one should be penalized in a close game between powerhouses like, as an example, Clemson-LSU. I actually agree with that to a degree.
 

HOWEVER Saban steered that into a blanket “reward a win rather than penalize a loss narrative” which is his way of saying that Bama should not have been penalized for losing to crappy Vandy and crappy Oklahoma. It’s a false narrative to equate Texas losing at top 5 OSU to “let’s not penalize Bama for losing to Vandy”. Really tired of the SEC/ESPN narrative.

Herbstreit when a 12-0 IU makes the playoff this year over an 8-4 Ole Miss.

Announcer on the Purdue game just described sunny and 68 degrees with no wind as “a crisp chill.” 
Ok, maybe if you live on Roatan during the off season.

Classic SEC bias from our own damn network.

PU has already scored! 

[RoadRage]

I was not aware of a rule that another player, other than the player catching the kick, could indicate a fair catch? 

[DChoosier]

Go OSU.

The anti-IU narrative makes me root against every, single SEC team.
