Natty Thread

[The Six]

Here's a stat from the game that will raise an eyebrow:

No WR caught a pass for PSU last night.  TEs and RBs were the only players recording receptions.

'Twas their Achilles' Heel all season. Still, no shame in making the national semifinals.

That help out alot 'cruiten WRs to PSU. Not sure how they kept it a game. Tells me ND will get destroyed in the Natty game...

The Domers have a really good set of DBs. Granted that Penn State's WR corps isn't covered in glory but they were never open either. ND might make a good game of it against whoever emerges from the Cotton Bowl.

Texas and OSU both have better WRs and DBs. OSU has the #1 defense. So if PSU could come close to winning even w/o WRS, ND will get exposed...

It's funny how a couple of weeks has the nation going from Ohio State shouldn't be in the playoffs, and how soon will Ryan Day be fired, to them easily being the favorite to take it all.

I think that top to bottom, they're probably the most talented group left, but it comes down to how you're playing at a particular time.  Early in the season, Texas goes to Michigan and plants the flag in that ass.  Later, Michigan goes to the Shoe, and puts a foot up that Buckeye ass. OSU is left for dead, then they promptly manhandle Tennessee and Oregon.  I honestly think tonight, and the Championship game are going to be some dang good foosballz. 

Offensive Rankings:

Texas:  17

Ohio State:  25

Notre Dame:  53


Defensive Rankings:

Ohio State:  1

Notre Dame:  2

Texas:  4

Fwiw, Id rather see Texas/ND play for the natty...

Ohio State finished off the Horns.

It’s Notre Dame vs. Ohio State for the title.

I'd rather watch Kaos wrestle Beth Bowins in a baby pool of tomatoes...

Ohio State won. Ho hum. Totally anticlimactic. All the luster is gone from the game and not just because guys get paid. It's because there's not team to the teams anymore. Watching collectives outbid each other for mercenary services at the behest of a television network is just blah. 

[wesfau2]

meh.

Turned it off at the half. 

[Snaggletiger]

Turned out to be a somewhat interesting finish. At least ND didn't roll over and play dead when they got down big. Came down to one third down stop they couldn't make late in the game.  Had they made the stop, they would have had the ball, down 8 with plenty of time to score.

Sorry, I fell asleep reading this.

I knocked her down and she was out about 11 minutes in. I was about to apply the Kaotic finisher and get the one-two-theee count but the ref turned out to be Nic Cage. He caught me by surprise, dropped a sub-atomic pile driver on me, dragged Mowins arm over me and hammered out the quick count. 

He exited the arena to a video montage of his outrageous faces from Bad Lieutenant with a Taylor Swift/Dave Matthew’s duet playing in the background.
