    Well now, this is actually pretty funny because in his rush to humor @Bullsitter is the one who "stepped in it" with his directions!! :p You should have told him the game was in Ann Arbor so he needed I-75.

    --- I-65 which starts in Alabama does head North, but it ends up in Chicago.
    --- What you were looking for is I-75 which starts in Florida and passes west of Columbus on its way to Detroit and points north.

    Nice one!!

    So today is the day, two of the Biggest games in college football: Ohio State vs. Michigan and Alabama vs. Auburn, Big 10 and SEC grudge matches at their best!! The games always get me riled up but make me laugh because the records and relative strengths of the teams just don't seem to matter. Throw the records out the window, throw what everyone who thinks they know anything out the window, especially if it's @Bullsitter or @coolstanley.

    The Big 10 match is pretty close. Doesn't matter. Either team could win. It's in Ann Arbor, home of the Wolverines. Doesn't matter. Ohio State is #2 and Michigan is #3. Doesn't matter. Harbaughs in his basement. Doesn't matter. I think Michigan will win. Doesn't matter. Could be a close game and it could be a blow-out.

    The SEC match should be easier to figure out. Alabama is clearly the better team. Doesn't matter. It's being played in Auburn. Doesn't matter. Alabama is ranked #8 and Auburn isn't ranked. Doesn't matter. I think Alabama will win. Doesn't matter. The only thing I think is that it will be a close game. Doesn't matter.

    It honestly doesn't get any better than this if you're from up north. If you're from down south it gets a little better next week!! :p

    Only two possessions but Ohio State seems to be committed to the right tackle hole..................with little success.

    Good 1st quarter, need some more commercials.
    McCool almost had another pick.

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 2,097 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Poor choices on the passes by McCord and the Refs on both sides of the ball seem to be plagued with a slow whistle when forward progress has been stopped.

    Ohio St is dead

    no way they're coming back with that QB

    Talk about refs - no way that ball was controlled for their second TD. Ohio State is in trouble

    Big Ten referee nightmare today. Who to give favorable calls to in the Buckeyes - Astros game.

    Ali vs Smokin' Joe.....gonna be a wild 2nd half.

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 2,097 ✭✭✭✭✭

    We were talking about the officials and someone mentioned that these might not be Big 10 refs. Does anyone know for sure??

    I’m suprised cool Stanley didn’t know when you asked him. 🤔

    My bad Maywood. Stanley is actually at the game today with his mom. Peace.

    McCord sure does have a bad habit of throwing right into tight coverage.

    Right. The interception is the difference right now.
    Only three penalties called all game. Unusual

    Ryan Day needs to turn his attention more to managing his team and less towards whining to the Officials. This will be the 3rd straight loss to Michigan for Day and his only win was with a team recruited by Urban Meyer. He might be heading out the door in a few years if he can't reverse that trend.

  • ApplejacksApplejacks Posts: 384 ✭✭✭

    Kentucky beats #9 Louisville.

  • Steven59Steven59 Posts: 8,672 ✭✭✭✭✭

    And that's the ballgame folks!!!!!!!!!! Michigan MVP - Kyle McCord.

  • TabeTabe Posts: 6,061 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I thought the game was well-officiated. Didn't think Michigan's 2nd TD was even close to being not a touchdown.

    McCord's first pick was brutal but overall he played pretty well.

    Mccarthy played his best game in weeks for Michigan. Very, very sharp.

    Just a darn good football game that had me nervous to the end. With the right team winning ;)

  • TabeTabe Posts: 6,061 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Michigan State has hired Oregon State head coach Jonathan Smith to be their new head coach.

  • coolstanleycoolstanley Posts: 2,863 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think the refs may have given them a free touchdown. The Michigan receiver didnt have control of the ball.

    Lol Ryan Day. As I said before the season OSU has a Ryan Day problem and Kyle McCord is not good. That game was a battle of which mediocre QB could be more incompetent. They really should fall out of the top 10 but they wont because of the make of up of the committee.

    With Louisville losing FSU is now the only hope for the ACC getting a playoff team. All the conference title games are set besides the Big 12. If Oak State wins it will be them vs Texas, if they lose it will be Texas Oklahoma

    Yeah, strange way to suspend a coach - he coaches the team in practice all week then has to sit in his hotel room during the game while texting the coaches! ??

    Harbaugh was probably sending messages but yea Michigan lead basically the entire game. Ryan Day at this point is basically James Franklin with more talent

  • galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 7,827 ✭✭✭✭✭

    no way I could stomach Ryan Day being the HC of my team. dude coaches scared. he punted on 4th and 1 near midfield (who does that now?), and he trusted his kicker more than his QB at the end of the first half.......when the kid had never made a FG that long is his entire kicking career dating back to high school. he nailed the first kick, but Moore iced him. then he pulled the real kick and it had no chance the moment it left his foot.

    he's 1-6 in games that matter

    if you're an OSU fan you should be praying he goes to A&M

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

  • Basebal21Basebal21 Posts: 3,438 ✭✭✭✭✭

    To be fair I wouldnt trust McCord with anything either. I also wouldnt have been starting him though

    one last thought

    gus johnson is my favorite sportscaster. it could be the chicago bears practice squad against the little sisters of the poor, but the moment he started raising his voice i'd start getting excited

    but I'm here to tell you that if he had said the world famous ohio state buckeyes one more time during that game, i was going to go find a drug dealer and shoot heroin

    Not really, he's more like John Cooper with less talent.

    Meanwhile, Alabama vs. Auburn has both teams starting to get "chippy" as the 'Tide fights for relevance. Somehow I figure Saban will figure out a way to win.

  • Steven59Steven59 Posts: 8,672 ✭✭✭✭✭

    How in the hell did Auburn let that game slip away? Un F'n believable.

    It was a really great throw by Milroe and a great catch, but the defense on that was incredibly stupid. Rushing two and giving the QB all day to pass?? Oh well.

    They got smashed by New Mexico state last week, so I didnt expect them to beat Bama. They found a way a lose.

    Rewatching that last play of the Ohio State loss once again McCord threw the pass into quadruple coverage on his intended receiver. There were 4 Blue jerseys surrounding the OSU player when the pass arrived low - didn't stand a chance. The announcers of the game had stated earlier that McCord usually stares right at the receiver the play/pass is intended for and the Michigan defenders were keying on that.
