SEC Network should troll them with Texas vs USC in the Rose Bowl as one of the SEC's greatest games


They do, they have.

OP post is a nothing burger.

Vince Young. 4th and 5…Rose Bowl vs USC
Why do they have 4 pm ET Quarterfinal game venue on Jan 1st as TBD? :lol:

There's only 1 game that goes in that time slot and everyone knows it.
It's interesting when the drunk Germans and big breasted beer maidens sing it at Oktoberfest.

No fan of UCLA but that's an impressive overall record regardless of if you're playing in the SEC or the League Saint Mary's,plays in...because, Baseball.

2001 Mariners...because, Baseball.

1988 Oakland Smash Bros,Athletics ...because,, Baseball.

Just remember how lame single-elimination and one game takes,all at the CWS.

Bye Bye Bruins

haha


And also lost in extras to Tech in softball.

UCLA, always clutch.

Ugh, reminds me of the 2001 Mariners


Poor Seattle fans. They were .711 before August, .713 before October.

2001 Mariners had a higher win% .716 than the GOAT 1927 Yankees .714 and well...

Couldn't beat the Yankees. 2001 Mariners are probably the #1 Sure Thing on paper based on their season, records set and unflappable consistency... Which then fell apart in the Playoffs.
Flutie Hail Mary against Jimmy Johnson Miami in 1984 the day after Thanksgiving... Game was fantastic regardless of the enduring ending.

Bush-Push @ Notre Dame...October 15, 2005...hype was insane, game delivered...the #9 Irish came out for the game wearing green and #1 USC riding a 27-game winning streak. It was the most watched regular season college football game in a decade and ticket prices went from $2,500-$5,000.

Kick-Six - Schadenfreude for the nation....-Auburn ends Bama's unblemished record and dreams of a,3-peat in spectacular fashion as SEC fans exhale in exuberance.

1982 - California 25, Stanford 20 (November 20); John Elway almost completes another improbable comeback only for the unthinkable to happen in the final seconds thanks to Stanford's awful Band.

1988 - Catholics vs. Convicts, (4) Notre Dame 31, (1) Miami-FL 30 (October 15). Notre Dame goes on to win the National Title,,Miami finishes the year ranked #2 in the Polls. It really was the "National Championship" game played in the middle of October.
His second-life and remodel @ KC in the Mahomes era has been a staggering transformation and media perception turnaround that has frankly stuck.

Does the public even remember the Eagles Andy? The guy who couldn't get it done?

The good coach who will get you to Camp IV at Everest but never summit....over and over, frozen in good, never great.

The way the narrative is now, he's gonna be ranked pretty damn high, unthinkable height not too long ag ...what you see last is what people remember.

Yikes...

Why do I want to watch Oregon and Ohio State in September in a game that doesn’t really count, when I can just wait for them to play again in December.


There's a long list of teams that lost the National Title in early October like 1992 FSU.

2008 USC lost the National Title in late September.

Now its just seeding for the "real season" in December and January... The one thing, the one thing that truly made,CFB special.... That "every game matters" was the first thing they killed. Unbelievable.

You guys need to worry less about SEC football and more about going to church, taking care of your families, taking care of your health, and saving for retirement.

If college football becomes an unwatchable product you will find another form of entertainment. Trust me.


The "halcyon days” are gone in CFB and sports in general... Especially regional tribalism and the guise of AMATEURISM from a lost and probably obtuse naivety.

Sure, expand, keep chasing the solution to put the genie back in the bottle... But its gone...the apex of the sport (2000-2010) ain't coming back...your life is a Playoff and you've already lost if you keep obsessing over this because its gone and never was that important.
By coaching record?

158–151–3 (college)
4–13 (NFL)

Howard Schnellenberger often said that "they will write books and make movies about my time [at Oklahoma]...Schnellenberger resigned after one season at Oklahoma going 5-5-1.

But he always seemed to choose struggling programs or never was programs...so...that was his thing.

because everyone is scared


Nah...College athletes simply realized '"adults" are just big dumb kids who have childish priorities which the NCAA kept in check as best they could for a,Century.

You knew all hell would break loose considering "Universities" (in the lowest sense) did everything they could to circumvent NCAA rules for gridiron Banners and pats on the back.

So now we have arrested development adults playing in the,Asylum with greedy young athletes... And the shadiest bunch of all (Congress) has to step in...that's how far we've fallen as a Society and what truly matters.
Craziest thing you'll never see is a player like John Matuszak getting drafted 1st overall in 1973 from the University of Tampa.

His team lost to cellar-dweller K-State from the Big 8 (31-7) but they did beat Vandy (30-7).

The School eliminated the Spartan football program after the 1974 season.

While Matuszak became a 2x Super Bowl champion and more importantly was in Goonies.
SEC Coaches say..."I'm against anything that hinders my ability to sneak into the Playoffs by any means necessary regardless of proving it on the field ".
1937 Cal - National champion (Dunkel, Helms, Williamson System)

Sounds lame but those "systems" all awarded a National Champion AFTER the Bowls...AP (which started naming a champion just a year prior) did not.

AP gave their trophy to 9-0-1 Pitt who ended their season in late November after beating #18 Duke 10-0.

While 10-0-1 Cal beat #4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl....13-0.

So, take those facts into account in being less dismissive.
Collegiate sports in general has gotten so trashy and its seeped over to the women; reflection of our society.

These women should be so thankful they even get this ESPN platform to play and be on TV but no...entitled generation.

It’s mostly just local fans supporting their local team


And people, mostly older folks who want to get out of the house, have something to do besides a movie, grab a cheap dog and beer on a nice day like going to the public Park...I don't think anyone takes the "fandom" part seriously.
Saban didn't win MNC's by vote only playing against White players while everyone else (USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc.) were playing against better Black players.
Saban didn't win MNC's by vote only playing against White people while everyone else (USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc.) were playing against Black people.
As the saying goes from the Memorabilia industry....

Most sports memorabilia is about "as real as ocean front property in Arizona”
