OSU was a 38 point favorite today, FWIW.

Something happen to Purdue's team before that Wisconsin game? I thought they were overrtaed, and the preseason Big West favorite talk had more to do with how easy a schedule they had. But man, they got pummeled by a decent Wisconsin team. And now after a week off they are getting dominated by a decent Iowa team at home

Of course, why couldn't they lay an egg vs IU just ONCE every 30yrs? NW is horrible. Not bad, horrible. 

The 60 mph winds came a week too early.

They have a "bad weather game" seemingly every year because they can't run the ball. In 2018, they got spanked at Minnesota when it was snowing. In 2019, they were about a minute away from getting shut out at home by Illinois with rain coming down in sheets. Minnesota beat them last year in the rain. Today the wind got ahold of some of O'Connell's throws and said "LOL, cute."

Wonder if Jimbo is long for Texas A&M. They've proven they are willing to just buy teams, so it shouldn't matter too much who the coach is for recruiting. Also good to see him losing. can't stand the guy

Jimbo got the Mel Tucker deal. Makes Tom's buyout look like freaking peanuts.

Fisher signed a 10-year, fully guaranteed contract extension on Sept. 1, 2021, that will pay him $95 million through 2031. If Texas A&M fires Fisher after the 2022 season, boosters would need to pony up nearly $86 million. 

Many buyouts include offset clauses, which subtract any salary from new jobs from the buyout amount. No such clause exists in Fisher's contract. Here is Fisher's buyout if he is fired at the conclusion of each season: 

2022: $85,950,000

2023: $76,800,000

2024: $67,550,000

2025: $58,200,000

2026: $48,750,000

2027: $39,200,000

2028: $29,550,000

2029: $19,800,000

2030: $9,950,000

Nothing, nothing at all, will be better than this today. 

Best part: "Oh no, the swarm's gonna engulf it. The swarm's gonna kill the train!" Then the Iowa players narrowly miss it.

Alabama with 2 losses, only 2 away from being out of the playoff picture

[Alford Bailey]

I just don’t see LSU beating Alabama or ND over Clemson as huge upsets. They all have rosters loaded with elite recruits.

Tennessee just threw deep and then ran in a touchdown while up 59-24 with a minute left.

Apparently Missouri’s coach said something on the Jim Rome Show during the off-season that UT’s coach didn’t like.

Missouri’s coach said something to the effect of his record will be better after Tennessee has to vacate its wins.

Go Vols!

Crazy watching our former OC and QB killing it together while we’re one of the worst P5 teams in the country.
