College Football Stuff

NIU won despite the refs making a horrendous call on marking a spot very late in game against NIU. Had a first down by 2 yards and ref comes running in and marks it short and replay ref fails to overturn. Obviously a homer call for ND. One of worst calls I have every seen and I’ve been watching sports for over 60 years.

Compounded by not restarting the clock, allowing ND to save time in the clock and not have to use their last timeout. Refs must have had a Rudy t-shirt underneath their uniforms.

As a Giants fan, it is never too soon to look for what QBs stand out as possible draft prospects in the next draft.

I enjoyed seeing Quinn Ewers carve up a Wink Martindale defense yesterday afternoon!

While SEC and Big Ten leaders mull major changes, a new Super League concept could radically alter college sports

As SEC and Big Ten leaders prepare to meet this week in Nashville for a historic summit of the industry’s two powers, there is an unreported undercurrent driving the discussion: Project Rudy.

Project Rudy separates the 70 programs into three tiers.

- Tier 1: the top 16 schools earn per-school revenue projections from $130 million in Year 4, escalating to $250 million in Year 12 (double the SEC and Big Ten’s current distribution rate).

- Tier 2: the next 22 schools earn revenue of $60-$110 million (similar to the SEC and Big Ten current rates).

- Tier 3: the last 32 schools earn projections of $30-$60 million (similar to the Big 12 and ACC rates).


Seems to me this will really benefit the Big 10, SEC schools, for most it will be status quo.
 
2 great stories of season are what is happening at Army and Navy. Both unbeaten and in top 25 after today's games and possibly only Notre Dame standing in the way of the two of them facing off in the Big One with both still undefeated (one can only hope). I watched Army today to see what all the fuss was and was impressed with their running game which leads the country in rushing yards per game.

If you have never been to a game at West Point, I would highly recommend going, great location and a good place to tailgate plus competitive games.
 
Dogsitting and was wasting my time watching college football in which Oregon was awarded a TD on a 3rd and goal pass that was so obviously dropped it was ridiculous. I will never give up my equally ridiculous one man hatred of the “get it right” selective use and non-use of replay.

I barely even follow college football but today all I wanted to do was watch the Army game.

Definitely want to get up there for a game next year. Looks like a great place to catch a game especially in the peak of fall
 
I watch the Army - Navy game each year.

It is IMO the most intense game of the season.

I second what BrooklynRed said …. If you have not attended a game in West Point then you should; a very special place to watch a football game.

A bit more than 100 years ago:

Outlined against a blue-gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below.

I was there to watch us play a basketball game when I was at SJU. We won.

Yesterday's game was a win but it was without Army's starting QB Daily who has rushed for 900 yards and 19 TD's in 7 games this season.

Looks like they have taken down the East side stands and are rebuilding that side of stadium which bring capacity back; hopefully for next year.

Gotta get by North Texas and then the ND game will be incredibly nostalgic!
