It will be ok. At least we love each other.

Glad OSU didn't get in, but I'm tired of them being in the conversation every year regardless of record when they're barely getting past bad teams.

Ended up how I figured. Ohio State had a 0% chance once Oklahoma won. Now I can laugh at the B1G as they miss out again.

I would’ve lost in the “Is This a Bowl?” game.

Urban Meyer to retire after Rose Bowl.
 

And OC Ryan Day to be named as the new head coach.

So they're not doing a search and hiring a coordinator who's never been a coach before...sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Except O$U have the wherewithal and $$ to cut their losses if Day becomes Luke Fickell 2.0

Day was also a coach in the NFL for a couple years.

I don't think O$U would hesitate to run him out of town if needed either.

EDIT:  Not to say I think it's smart, just not really apples to apples.

Lincoln Riley and Dabo Swinney.

In non-Urban related coaching news, Uof6 hired App St's head coach and Maryland hired someone from the sacred Saban tree.

It does happen; not often, but it does happen.

The First Responder Bowl was canceled after 9 minutes and 52 seconds of play and a weather delay of about an hour and 20 minutes on Wednesday. The bowl announced on its Twitter account that it would be ruled a no-contest:

There was 5:08 left on the clock in the first quarter when the teams went to a delay at about 2 p.m. ET. Boston College had a 7-0 lead and had just punted the ball away to Boise State, which was going to take over at its own 14-yard line.

A lightning strike within eight miles of the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, the game site, caused the bowl to go into a 30-minute delay. That delay extended with each successive lightning strike, and the teams and bowl reps eventually decided just not to play.

So, Boise State finishes the year 10-3, and Boston College finishes 7-5, matching its win total in four of its other five seasons under head coach Steve Addazio.

Bowl cancelations almost never happen. This is the first in a long time.

We and others will look into when the last one was.

The NCAA lists the 2000 BCA Classic, a season kickoff game it classifies as a bowl, as being canceled due to weather. It notes that the 1941 Hawaii Rainbows had a postseason game canceled due to the attack on Pearl Harbor. The 2013 C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl was canceled due to weather, but that’s not an FBS bowl.

As per their custom, the whiny little Toiletmaker fans scream "IU sucks" as they kick off to Auburn. Three players later, the Tigers score on a 66-yard TD pass. On its next possession, Auburn marches right down the field to another TD. Love it! 

Who sucks now, Toiletmaker fans??? Maybe if you were half as obsessive about your opponent as you are with us, you wouldn't be getting embarrassed. (Little brothers can be so annoying).

Another Auburn TD. I hope they make this ugly.

Blough throws a pick inside his own redzone lolololol goodnight Purdon’t. 

[Hovadipo]

Touchdown Auburn. 

 

“Yikes”

-The color commentator

 

Edit: Nvm he was down at the 1. Give it a minute. 

Edit 2: Touchdown. 21-0 again with 7:00 left IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

Purdue scores. 

 

Next play, Auburn scores. 28-7. 

[Hovadipo]

35-7

[KingPG21]

Down 28-7, don't even look like they belong on the same field. Purdue makes one good defensive play and celebrates, lol. Very next play they give up a touchdown. Lots to celebrate for Purdue so far
