Way cooler than having a bucket of mayonnaise dumped on you.

BYU kicks field goal to take 10-0 first-quarter lead. 

Then recovers a surprise onside kick. 

Don't know why more teams don't do that. Nearly all the front lines of receiving teams start to retreat once the kicker approaches the ball. 

Great tactic.

What an exciting Poptarts Bowl

This might be recency bias, but I don’t know if I have ever heard announcers more shamelessly shill a program than these guys have shilled Colorado in a beat down loss. And to top off their game-long snuggling, Prime leaves Shadeur in the game to stat pad, he throws a 3 yd TD pass to cut the lead to 24 with under 2 mins left against BYU’s subs and the play by-play guy proceeds to tell us how super impressed he would be if he were the Giants brass that Shadeur is still in there competing. I swear to God.

Totally agree. I think it’s hard for us to remember these media guys make their money on clicks and headlines. They NEED “coach Prime” to be relevant because it is an easier story than other programs with status quo coaching staffs. Colorado was never a real college football story. They were and will be, a celebrity story. Which will get clicks and headlines. Until it doesn’t. Which I imagine will be soon. Just because you’re a hall of fame kickoff returner doesn’t make you a hall of fame coach. And you can only recruit your own kids once, just ask Fran McCaffery up in Iowa. He’ll stay around a couple more years. He’ll pull portal transfers on the promise of getting them paid. But ultimately he’ll jump ship for a pro job before his social media spotlight dims and he has to actually coach and be judged on your results and not your appearances on ESPN. That’s my expectation.

Gotta happen. Not really sure what the argument against is.

Iowa blows the Music City Bowl to Missouri 27-24....another B1G loss, but this one just gotta way from there Hawkeyes!

[LamarCheeks 19,250]

Good grief -- Michigan and Alabama are playing in a full-on monsoon. 

Conditions weren't bad at kickoff. 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,378]

I GOT MY MUD BOWL GAME!

[RoadRage 1,996]

So far Alabama does not only not belong in the CFP, they don't even belong in the ReliaQuest Bowl!

[rayl456 512]

13-0  Michigan 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,378]

Alabama is in trouble and I’m all for it, turned it over again

[rayl456 512]

3 turnovers in 4 plays 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,378]

Michigan should be up 21-0 if they had an competent offense

[68Hoosier 574]

Let's go Michigan (B1G)

 

[DChoosier 8,659]

I don’t remember ever rooting for Michigan so hard. I’m a DeBoer fan but that is overwhelmed by how sick I am of the SEC narrative. Hope they blow Bama out.

I want to see every SEC team get pounded.  Especially if they are playing the B1G

Yep

I normally wouldn’t have thought 2 seconds about Iowa-Missouri but this bowl season was bummed Iowa gave up their lead and lost.
