Utah will compete but I have severe reservations. Zona is on the right trajectory however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 It’s really fun having a bowl season where you watch some fucking scout team that you’ve never seen before go out and get the shit beat out of them. College football can suck my dick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack 12 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 You certainly recognized Gulbranson, didn't you? 🤣 We all used to joke that we're really just rooting for laundry, but it's completely true now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Yes, I recognized the mediocrity that is Gulbranson. Chatfield and Irish, too. That’s 3 out of 22 that started before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s 3 out of 22 that started before. It’s the worst it’s ever been and I love bowl games. The Utah effort with 5 starters opting out on top of all the season ending injuries and transfers is making it unwatchable. Almost makes you feel like the last regular season game is the final test. Hopefully this changes with the playoff expansion. But I won’t hold my breath. My buddy(casual WSU fan) was excited to watch Oregon State/ND game. I told him OSU has nobody left including a top shelf coach. He knew about Smith but not the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Opt outs are one thing — and I do agree that opt outs alone have significantly changed bowl season — but it’s even more crazy that the transfer portal opens *during the season.* Imagine if MLB free agency hit in September and you lose your staff ace before the playoffs even begin.

If they made some rules that the portal along with signing day don’t start and open up until bowl season is over it would go a long way. Also, since this is now a business for players, create contracts for players on a pay for play format. Throw in signing bonuses for guaranteed money but we need to quit letting CFB implode on itself. If you want to opt out for the NFL, fine. You’ll probably get paid either way. But this fucked up mess needs some guard rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtd Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 There's a second window in a couple months, for some reason. Just push the december one out until the playoff is over. But it's still just kicking the can down the road as we head towards a true minor league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utenation Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 lol at Liberty. What an embarrassment of a team. Didn’t belong in this game. Would have been nice to see how Oregon would do in the playoff or against UGA or Mizzu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 This Fiesta Bowl has all the intrigue of a spring game. Since Fla State was always going to go into tank mode after getting relegated out of the CFP, should have stuck them with the G5 and had Oregon/Georgia. But I know “best matchup” is never a factor in bowl selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan209 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 At least we get the 12 team CFP next year. I just wonder with the current portal window if a high percentage of players will still opt out or transfer if their team is playing in the playoffs.

Orange Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Yay, 12 team playoff just in time for my program to get assfucked by a bunch of greedy traitors and probably never crack the rankings. Again, fellate me, college football, you giant sack of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
