Columbus a reliable mini-slump buster.

Blowing a 3-goal lead to Columbus would be a season low. 3-2 now but with still 18 minutes to go in regulation.

This Saturday’s France-England quarter is giving me a Michigan-Ohio State vibe. I think it’s England’s time, they will break through and knock out the defending champs. No one in the tournament, apart form Brazil, is in the same talent league as these two countries.

Crowd noise mic seems to be turned down to next to nothing too.

Zadina was a wasted pick. I had such high hopes for all their top-40 picks that year. None of Zadina, Veleno, Berggren or McIsaac look to be future difference-makers.

The Wings are still a borderline playoff team. Nothing more, but also nothing less.

I agree with him there. It was a decisive win by Michigan on the road. But 22 points? I think that does overstate the margin between the two. Felt more like a 2-score game. Michigan was outplayed in the 1st half and trailed by a FG going into the break. Asserted control from the outset of the 3rd quarter and as the 2nd half went on. But when it was 38-23 and OSU got a 1st down in the red zone with around 5 minutes to go, it was a 2-score game, I expected it to end as a 1-score game and in fact if a supreme being at that point in time had offered me a 1-point win on a missed extra point conversion I would have taken it! Games that feel like 22-point wins are Georgia's wins this year over Oregon, Tennessee and LSU, Georgia's win last year over Michigan, and Michigan's wins this year over Penn State and Michigan State.

Set

Hearing Saban plead his case reminds me of one of those Twitter docs trying to bring back mask mandates and media outlets giving him a mic to do.

Moments away from knowing the top 4 and order. Barring a big surprise, expected to be Georgia, Michigan, TCU, Ohio St.

I think I read somewhere earlier this week that this may be first time any team has defeated 10 B1G teams in one season? Or maybe first time Michigan has done it.

Purdue could have been ranked going into this game. A few other 4-loss teams were.

Onside kick recovered. …but only went 9.5 yards. Guy with the illegal touch probably got his metric conversion messed up. I should have started a game thread!

Stopped!! A new Irish legend. Just need to field this onside kick.

Holy cow, had the other team pinned back at their own 10 still down by 7, with 62 seconds to go., An 84 yard completion has put it at the 6. …and they score the TD with 32 seconds to go. Going for 2!!

How was that not pass interference?

My teen’s high school is up 7 in the provincial championship heading into the 4th quarter. Not quite ready to switch the channel permanently yet.

Not yet. Need to stop this drive. And then if you do, run a few plays to eat clock. I’m not sitting starters until under 5 minutes to go.

Go for 2 and make it a 3 score game.

Three straight 3rd down conversions.

Clemson up 39-10 and about to win the ACC. If they hadn’t lost by a point last week to South Carolina, they’d be lobbying against Ohio State despite their big loss to Notre Dame.

Crap, JJ runs around for around 7 seconds then throws the pick.

They didn’t, but you’re right, could have seen Purdue trying it.

Whew, anything but a fumble.

That trick play had me completely fooled. And we can laugh about it now because …iNTERCEPTION!
