CFB 2023 Bowls & Championships: The *best* gosh darn thread a television executive could ask for

[DJnVa]

these teams look shitty.

 

[Ale Xander]

Who was the best Michigan QB ever?

It’s obviously Brady if any weight is given to post-college accomplishments, but on a college-only basis, have they had anyone better than Harbaugh? Probably still better than McCarthy, but “best Michigan QB” isn’t as high a bar as you’d think for such a storied program.

Grbac
Griese
Henne
Leach
(And Harbaugh)

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Catch it and THEN run, kid,.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Who was the best Michigan QB ever?

Has to be 10-year starter Chad Henne.

 

[JCizzle]

Bama is really going to luck into a title. Sigh.

 

[CFB_Rules]

QB is clearly short of the first down there, looked like they were giving it to him on the field

 

[tims4wins]

Bama is really going to luck into a title. Sigh.

Shades of Denver 2015 when 800 things had to go right

 

[Al Zarilla]

Catch it and THEN run, kid,.

These players are way wound up. Coaches mighta talked them down a bit pregame.

 

[radsoxfan]

This side judge is going to give Bama a 1st down on this series if its the last thing he does.

2 brutal spots by him

 

[Ale Xander]

Where were the linebackers?

 

[mauf]

Blocking doesn’t get better than that. RB just had to make the safety miss.

 

[tims4wins]

For a team that has played in 3 straight CFP Michigan looks like dog shit. I think they’re going to get boat raced

It's super early but they don't look like they belong here at all.

 

[tims4wins]

It's super early but they don't look like they belong here at all.

Let’s not forget TCU embarrassed them last year

 

[mauf]

For a team that has played in 3 straight CFP Michigan looks like dog shit. I think they’re going to get boat raced

Of course they’re going to get killed if they don’t take care of the ball, but until that one big play this was looking like a defensive slugfest, which should be good for Michigan.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

They really miss Connor Stallions.

Bama didn’t have too much trouble that drive. Michigan played one good series on D

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Someone had to inherit ND’s mantle I guess.

 

[mauf]

It's super early but they don't look like they belong here at all.

Can’t draw firm conclusions from bowl season when so many of the best players don’t play, but the PSU and tOSU losses might suggest the B1G was a little overrated this season.

 

[CFB_Rules]

Michigan should run the ball every single play

 

[tims4wins]

Michigan should run the ball every single play

4 passes 0 yards 2 runs like 30

 

[SoxJox]

Please god Pats do not draft him

What about this kid Dart from Ole Miss? I was VERY impressed.

 

[SoxJox]

B1G hasn't had much success against SEC so far this bolw season.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

B1G hasn't had much success against SEC so far this bolw season.

Kind of stale as old as time situation.

 

[loshjott]

B1G hasn't had much success against SEC so far this bolw season.

Maryland 31
Auburn 13

 

[BaseballJones]

Good job by Michigan to re-establish themselves here.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good answer

this should be a good game

Alabama doesn’t really have a stout defense this year

 

[shawnrbu]

Blake The Great!

 

[tims4wins]

They just need to play their game.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Massive response drive there, Corum and Morgan are clearly a problem in space against what is not a traditionally great Bama D.

 

[SoxJox]

Maryland 31
Auburn 13

Yeah, but...Wisconsin, Iowa, OSU, PSU...

All other B1G wins to date have been against non SEC teams (NW over Utah 14-7; vs Minn over Bowling for Bingo Green 30-24, and Rutgers over Miami 31-24.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

After the first TD, I decided Alabama was going to win and that the B1G is not very good. After the second TD I decided that the B1G might be ok and that Michigan is good and will win.

Now, with a minute of reflection, I have decided I’m not sure what is going to happen.

I think anyone could win. How exciting.

I think I reserve my right to change my mind. Let’s see what happens now.

 

[moretsyndrome]

As a slightly hungover guy with no dog in the fight and just wants an entertaining game, that was a huge drive.

 

[loshjott]

Yeah, but...Wisconsin, Iowa, OSU, PSU...

Yeah, I know, but as the dad of two Terps I had to point that out.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I’ll tell you another thing — the occasional football makes these commercials a little easier to watch.

 

[snowmanny]

Michigan should run the ball every single play

They've essentially done that sometimes. And you're right.

 

[Justthetippett]

What about this kid Dart from Ole Miss? I was VERY impressed.

Isn't he returning to school?

I liked Harbaugh in SF and carried that over to Michigan. Also TFB. No hangover.

 

[tims4wins]

He had that if he didn’t slip

 

[tims4wins]

Also, slightly hungover but hair of the dogging

 

[luckiestman]

Fowler kind of calling the QB soft not realizing the kid slipped

 

[CFB_Rules]

That’s a foul IMO

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s a penalty wtf

 

[tims4wins]

That’s a foul IMO

Really? I’d have hated that call

 

[JCizzle]

Lol that guy pulled a Curry 3 point leg kick flop

 

[johnmd20]

That's a tough no call. He ran right into the leg.

 

[mauf]

That’s a foul IMO

Yeah. Not dirty, but a foul.

 

[Ale Xander]

If Lebron was the punter. He would have got like six free throws

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Really? I’d have hated that call

Wasn’t it text book running into the kicker? I thought that was exactly what that penalty is.

 

[snowmanny]

That should have been a penalty, but the Alabama QB had just shown they weren't all that interested in the first down anyway.
