College Football Stuff

While I don't read much into these bowl games due to opt outs and now the transfer portal, clearly Mora had his team prepared and fired up for this game. UNC looks like they are waiting for old Bill to save them.

There is no reason that UCONN couldn't play as a mediocre program in the ACC which is what most of the conference is at this point if they were allowed.

The Big 12 really makes little sense to me but no one seems to care about geographics in football. The competition is much stronger and in my opinion would just be a bottom feeder most seasonsz

BIG 12 already turned them down. No idea what the ACC is waiting for.

ACC teams are waiting to see what conference will pick up what teams--too much uncertainty in ACC as folks would jump ship very easily.

Jump ship where? The other 3 appear quite full.

2025 NFL draft: Top QB prospects quits at halftime, team loses bowl game

We've heard of college football players opting out of bowl games to not risk injury and prepare for the NFL draft but this is the first time we've seen a player quit at halftime. This is the situation the University of Miami found themselves in when starting quarterback…

Respectfully, Student Athletes haven't been that in probably 2+decades. There is nothing to play for if you're not in the National Championship hunt, especially the POP TARTS bowl of all things lol. Respect Cam Ward for even suiting up after the Syracuse Debacle, one wrong play could cost you millions.

Then don’t play at all v. trying to break a record going one half, seems selfish imo.

ACC with one bowl game to go is 1-9. When Cuse is the lone winner it shows how low ACC football is. (Thanks to Uconn, Big East is 1-0; and, yes, I know they are independent team)

The question not being asked is ' How the F does Pop Tarts have a Bowl ? " Pop Tarts goes on a plate not in a bowl. WTF with the branding.

You might as well have a Cheerios Bowl instead. At least they go in a bowl

Glad you cleared that up, Pinstripe Bowl makes alot more sense now.

How about Rutgers and Uconn in the "Toilet Bowl"

I avoid red states. Friday night lights up here are soccer games.

ND football fan all my life. My son is a Penn State grad. Gonna be a long week in this house. He likes both but of course he’s PSU so… I don’t trust the SOB. He better keep his mouth shut if he knows what’s good for him. Just kidding. I think. Go Irish

You can wish him luck and tell him you don't mind if Penn St. wins because if they do you will be upping his rent.

I was thinking more of throwing his ass out on the street but upping the rent don’t sound too bad either.
