Nobody's started one. I came here just to say Leonard reminds me a lot of Mendoza. Amazing what you can do with a strong oline.

Also, seems like nobody's watching this. Friends didn't even know it was on. There's just too much other stuff going on post holidays, and nfl stuff. This game is so stretched out from the season people just have fatigue, except for ND and Buckeye fans. This game needs to be played a week after New Year's bowl games.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mendoza ends up being an eventual transfer to ND. He seems like he'd be a perfect fit for that school and for the way they play.

Start the season a week early and playoffs start the weekend after the season ends. National championship is on New Years.

Marcus Freeman will use this tape as evidence to the ND admin to drop academic standards. Don't blame him.

I found Trump's 90 second pre recorded "rub your f@ucking nose in it" partisan half time stump speech wholly inappropriate. I would have had no problem with a non partisan sports oriented statement. Could he be a bigger A$$H@LE?

Here is the part I take issue with:
" This has been a historic and exciting day for our country. In recent years, our people have suffered greatly. But starting now, we're going to bring America back and make it safer, richer and prouder than ever before. We'll have a nation filled with passion, strength and exceptionalism," Trump said. "Through our power and might, we will stop wars and we will lead the world to peace. We will be respected again and we'll be admired again - admired like we haven't been in many, many years. We'll put America first, and in doing so, we'll make America great again. In less than three months since the election, you have already seen it happening. You can feel the excitement and you can see the confidence and spirit returning to our nation. Together we're going to lead our country to new heights. The golden age of America has just begun."

Yup.

OSU has stopped the run and said, "Ok Leonard, try and beat us with the pass."

Gotta have your TV's mute button ready for the next few years, constant diarrhea of the mouth risk at any moment again.

Feel terrible for that kicker. No way he was expecting to get called out there in that situation. Terrible angle and very limited benefit to those 3 points.

Haha! Loved that message!

At least Notre Dame made it interesting at the end. Now it's the long, dark night before college football returns in the Fall.

I'm not saying the complaints aren't valid, but today was the most ideal date for the championship game.

1) The Heisman ceremony weekend (December 14) is a chance for students to catch up on their school and finals. Also, that's the Army-Navy's exclusive weekend. So you would have to boot the Heisman and Army-Navy game.

2) The title game has to be held on a night when the NFL doesn't play and on a night when people have to work the next day, so that rules out Friday. And NFL owns Saturdays from late December to mid-January.

3) There has to at least be a week between games.


So under your plan for next season:

1. The regular season ends the weekend before Thanksgiving.

2. The conference championships are played Thanksgiving Weekend.

3. Here's the thing: The playoff bracket will be set later in the day on Sunday, November 30 and the first game played 5 days later, on Friday, December 5, with the other 3 games played on Saturday, December 6. That would seem to be a short amount of time to put together the logistics of hosting games on campus.

4. Round 2 of the playoffs would have to be 1 game on Friday, December 12 and 3 games on Saturday December 13. And the Heisman Ceremony would have to be bumped. (I don't know if there is a contract that the ceremony has to be on ESPN at 8 pm.)

5. Round 3 on Friday, December, 19 and Saturday, December 20. But the NFL will play 2 games on Saturday, December 20. So that's where it could get dicey.

6. Title game on Thursday, January 1. But here's the thing: the National Championship Game has to be in primetime, so it can't be the Rose Bowl. But the Rose Bowl begins at 2 pm PT and ends close to 6 pm PT. So the title game will have to begin at least at 5:45 pm PT. That would end it around midnight ET or later.

Maybe the orange ******* should quit politicizing sporting events by putting his ugly mug and politics where they don't belong. Another major thumbs down to Disney for bending the knee to Dear Leader…..

bearister,do what I do and just keep the remote handy and change the channel when offensive material is presented. There's rarely anything of value on during the halftime show anyway.

My comment was completely within the rules of the board in light of the fact it related to a pre recorded speech that was given a prominent role in the halftime festivities of the National Championship Game which is the subject matter of this thread.

I agree that politics should be kept off this board, and out of sporting events, which was the point of my comment. Apparently you didn't take the same offense at politics being injected into the National Championship Game.

You would be better served trying to figure out how to control your impulses when posting comments (OT Board) so that you don't get yourself into trouble with the Moderator.

Chapman, I don't get it. You told me on the men's basketball site that you would be reading a book. But somehow you're still here. And why do you call yourself "Chapman is Gone" when it seems you never are? Really confusing.

If you would be so kind as to provide the link, I would be interested to review a Biden message played as part of a college or NFL football game that you feel supports your position. You know, a partisan message that basically says "f@uck you" to half of the nation.

Sorry you feel that way. One can always turn off the sound or grab a drink. I said policies, not a message…but this is a football thread so I leave this topic to those who want to be on the OT thread.

I don't think anyone wants to see another back-and-forth political diatribe on these boards since it's not particularly useful for anyone, but I would like to make one point and then drop out of this thread. Over the past eight years, conservatives believe politics were injected far too much into sports/entertainment with the majority of the coverage generally anti-Trump and anti-conservative issues. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, maybe, just maybe (please, oh, please!), everyone can agree we'd like more sports and entertainment in our leisure activities and less political positioning/messaging? I am 100% for that!

There is zero chance of televised sports being free of Trump messaging at every opportunity.

I'd like to see an example of Biden appearing in the middle of any sporting event, with the exception of the idiotically required appearance on the Super Bowl pregame show, which only started as a political segment with Bill-O and Faux News.
"Shut up and dribble" apparently only applies to one side of the equation.

He didn't even do the Super Bowl interview last year (though honestly he should have and that was a sign about his diminished capacity).
