During the past 3 years Teitum has become absolutely my favorite player, I know I am really going to miss him.

At the bottom this ESPN article links to an old Will Muschamp video from Charles! I'm not kidding.

A new poster is massively negative when we lose, and when we win....it is luck? Sounds like a Beavis!

It definitely is, it's currently being discussed in this thread: https://discussobd.com/topic/19413-teitum-tuioti-out-for-the-rest-of-the-season/

It would be interesting to see Tank Jones take some snaps. He's had 3/4ths of a season to develop and he already has TT's size.

OBD, even without TT, 😧is still PO alive - 25.8% chance. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/three-loss-team-cfp-contenders/

We've heard this stuff before. Oregon is only successful because of the players it buys. Michigan fans are at Whit's end. So am I. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/kyle-whittingham-michigan-oregon-nil-recruiting/

This is sad! I hope he didn't hurt it on the jump pass, but if he did, what a great way to go out! A win against OSU in the Horseshoe!

They've lost a lot of NFL players, but Caleb Downs was the most important piece. Once they lose Jeremiah Smith next year, they are going to be very human.

The Big Ten could use a B1Gger PO this season, no doubt. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50422353/cfp-playoff-2026-bubble-watch-week-10 In today's CFB world of watered-down rosters, the 24-team PO provides some protection from injury to key players. Not too long ago, the starting QB at Louisville would have been Julian Sayin's backup.

Reported by Lanning. A very big loss.

Sorry, I've been way too busy to get on and comment about this game. This game was such a fantastic treat to have in the middle of this absolutely wild season! Watching the team show resolve and evolve has been rewarding as a fan. It is amazing to me to see the razor thin difference between well-timed execution and an offense that can't get out of first gear (or parking gear much of this year). I missed chip block here, QB eyes in the wrong spot, a late throw - the differences have amounted to a 6-3 record vs easily being another unbeaten season. All of our issues this year were solvable with very small changes by all team members and coaches. It was never a talent issue - it's all been in between the ears the whole time. I'm not ready to give up on Raiola as I'm not sure who else would give us a better chance to win this year or next year. He will only get better and better in this offense, but we have to exorcise those terrible mechanics. Prior to the Jamari Johnson TD run, Raiola short armed a throw to DAK with no Buckeye even close. Plant those feet and drive the ball!

I thought it was just sarcasism as no sane person would think so. If it is a Beavis, then luck makes sense since they are lucky to be in a conference that everyone that had a landing spot abandoned.

He does like to play aggressively and take risks when he sees something he likes. I mean the fake punt absolutely shows what Dan wants to do and how it can change the entire game when it's executed. Which is something Dan needs to know about himself and needs to be part of his guiding needs for a new OC. He needs someone who can be creative enough to have some of these plays in the back pocket and with a scheme solid enough that when it is 4th and 1 at the Oregon 45 yard line they can make the call to go for it and know they can get it. This gambler or aggressiveness of Lanning has paid off in the past. He just needs an OC that makes the gamble less of a risk. Think of Stanford in the 2010's. They would go for it on 4th and short all the time and it would be an almost guarantee they would convert the down. Those were relatively low risk 4th down plays because they knew they could always get a yard. In 2022 with Dilly at the helm of the offense Nix did so many QB sneaks that 4th and short was never even a question. With Mehringer we didn't have the ability to do that... with Johnson it feels like more of a possibility but not a guarantee. Lanning needs an OC that can scheme up this as a guarantee.

The real poll today, let’s see how much the writers are still lagging. If we move up to 15 or so I think our odds of an at large are pretty good if we just win out. You can see the narrative shifting all over media. My guess as it stands today is that two 3-loss SEC teams and OBD (specifically) at 9-3 would all make the field.

Love these videos! Don’t have time to watch them all but will watch one or two. We need a weekly videos thread! What a difference a competent OC makes.

I agree that REQUIRING a P4 out of conference game will help. But my point was that coaches will never do that voluntarily. They will only do that if there is such a rule requiring it (and FINALLY starting next year that will be required for the Big-10). But where I disagree you is about the other games. I definitely don't see the FCS games going away altogether. Look for Indiana to set up an out-of-conference schedule that looks something like this: Boston College, Ball State and Indiana State. That satisfies the P4 requirement (since BC is in the ACC), but it's a truly weak opponent. Indiana will almost certainly be favored in all of those games, probably by a lot. Cignetti will then know that he can then go 6-3 in Big-10 conference games and still make the playoffs easily (they may even be able to go 5-4 and make it in some years). While the records will matter for seeding, as you pointed out, that's not nearly as big of a carrot as actually making the playoff is. We just saw a fantastic ND vs. Miami game last Saturday. That game was essentially a playoff elimination game for ND. But it won't be next year because both of those teams will be SAFELY in the field. I also think we'll see some (not all though) coaches rest key players down the stretch if they are already safely in the playoff. In many cases they won't even risk falling out of bye contention. But I also think some coaches would MUCH rather just ensure they have key players healthy over having to play on the road. On a separate note, I could not agree more strongly with you about the cartel that is the bowls. I absolutely hate them. IMO, ALL of the playoff games should be on home campuses and only the championship game should be at a neutral site. The Bowls already got to run their grift on college football for like 100 years. It's time to send them to the cemetary!

Falling behind at home to Texas State 42-7 was just a matter of luck 😆 🍀 🍀

Damn, that was a great run with strong downfield blocking.

No, after looking at his posting history since he joined us this fall…it becomes evident that he is a Beavis, and joined to troll us. He won’t be posting any more…

Somewhere, someplace, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed.🙃

Thanks, David, total agreement with your take on Dan. The Gambler? Good reference. However, if 'you never count your money when it's sitting on the table', how in Hades do you know how much to bet? 🤑🤪
