No he won'tThis guy Rhule turned down a NFL job? He’s going to regret that decision.
He had offers when he was 7-6; he’ll be fine.This guy Rhule turned down a NFL job? He’s going to regret that decision.
It's not a 21st century NFL quality stadium. Not going to happen.It looks great on TV but I hear a lot of complaints about it when people actually go. Maybe it is fine in February.
On January 3rd.Yeah, it really killed the ratings for the usually stout Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
It is insane. Basically, LSU and Clemson will have played one game in 6 weeks.I can't believe there is so long between the playoff games. I was searching TV guie last night trying to figure out when/where the game was one, finally had to search to find out not until next week
Seems insane to me
Now, if they could reframe it as the Sweet Potato Bowl...On January 3rd.
It is a game so worthy, the stands were basically empty for the entire game. The Potato Bowl is merely filler to get sporting fanatics to Saturday's playoff games. Filler doesn't have to be good, it just has to be there.
It's also interesting to see that ESPN doesn't seem to be using the interim pause to hype the game that much. At least from where I sit, I've seen very little advertising for the game.I can't believe there is so long between the playoff games.

As likely the only JMU grad on SoSH, I'm pretty amped for this. JMU is a -1.5 favorite, which is nuts to me considering that NDSU is a steamroller. Hope they're right...I'm pretty excited for North Dakota State-James Madison. Definitely not a year where we needed a 24-team tournament to determine who should be playing the in the championship.
LSU and Clemson won the semi final games approximately 14 weeks ago, it feels like.I was just coming here to post similar sentiments, the strangest sport. Everything all season is geared towards the top four teams and then those games come so much later (after an endless parade of 7-6 teams playing 8-5 teams) that not only are the teams often rusty in the first half but it kills all momentum as a fan, and now this year it kills it twice, in between the conference title games and the semifinals, and then again in between the semifinals and finals.
My daughter is a sophomore there, and was going nuts because she thought she couldn't get back to campus for the ballgame (and the parties connected to it).As likely the only JMU grad on SoSH, I'm pretty amped for this. JMU is a -1.5 favorite, which is nuts to me considering that NDSU is a steamroller. Hope they're right...
Hope they survive the hail and tornados tomorrow and then the 45 degree high and 20+ mph winds Saturday.I'm pretty excited for North Dakota State-James Madison. Definitely not a year where we needed a 24-team tournament to determine who should be playing the in the championship.
Some snow in Dallas this AM to get things started.
To clarify. Ndsu offered him to QB, no one else did.How did Minnesota not offer this guy? Looks like he had FBS offers from Boise State and Northern Illinois.
They absolutely forgot that in that situation the offside penalty would not result in a stopped clock. Should have burned a time out; would have probably given them a chance to run 2 or 3 plays from the 1 before having to burn another time out. So they end up throwing an int that perhaps they never would have attempted.James Madison really ran the Andy Reid clock management program at the end there. What a terrible use of the time and the time outs.
It should have been a stopped clock by rule. Rule 3-4-3They absolutely forgot that in that situation the offside penalty would not result in a stopped clock. Should have burned a time out; would have probably given them a chance to run 2 or 3 plays from the 1 before having to burn another time out. So they end up throwing an int that perhaps they never would have attempted.
Big blunders defensively cost them more. Giving up a 47 yard scramble TD on 3rd and 23 is an infamnia.
I was soooooo impressive how they had managed it up until the completion down to the 15(?). They were patient, took chunks of yards on the ground without panic.......then failed to use a TO after that completion which is inexcusable.JMU completely butchered this clock. Down to 0:08 with two timeouts in their pocket. Dukes have 1st & Goal from the 2, down 28-20.
