The last thing this board needs is another Pate ball washing thread

I’ll start taking him seriously when he can grow a beard

This game will come down to turnovers, do we fumble 3 times like we did vs OSU? Does beck take risks in passing into coverage and commit turnovers.

Turnovers is the name of the game and the reason why Indiana has won both of their playoff games. Their team loves to hit. Don't take passing risks and hold on to the ball. Do that and should be a win. This is the one game that i rather beck get sacked multiple times than take risks. Beck scares the **** out of me. Hopefully he proves me wrong.
 
He said it against OSU. Very rare for a team to have an advantage on BOTH lines of scrimmage AND a veteran QB and to be underdogs let alone a TD+ underdog.

The line and betting isn't about what's on paper and isn't about the teams. It's still residual effects of all the times we've beat ourselves with bad coaching or bad mistakes on the field. Same reason we were ranked #18 in the first CFP.

His model had Ole Miss as the winner and he went against it. He's 1-0 in his last 1 as far as we're concerned.

He picked TAMU and OSU, didn’t he? I don’t care if he picks for or against. I just don’t like what he turned into. His ‘model’ and his ‘views’ completely overrate the SEC. Like most others. As far as I’m concerned, this guy went from the rare college media guy who tries to push substance to click baiting. But, you all support him. I’ll mind my business.

Answered above. F em.

Here’s his quote from TAMU:

"I'll lean on the more dependable ground game... I really feel that way about them [A&M] now.”

LOL. Dude should lean more on watching games than on models and SEC bias.

Again, F em. Like others, I’d prefer this mush picked against us.

Like Pate the last few years being independent media but ESPN brass has started to take note of him and his first take appearances and I think the suits are going to throw a bag at him. He’ll be an even worse SEC shill once under contract.

He hedged worse than Gabby does the A&M game. Took us because of the spread vs OSU, picked them to win.

He’s a big SEC shill lately, always given us our flowers though to be fair. I do also think the closer this gets to the game, more media types will pick us. You’ll have the mouth breathers like Will Compton picking IU big, but if there was a prop bet on who Saban picks, I’d sell all my assets he picks us.

But I put little in what Pate says on the field. Always says safe answers and just leans towards a metric. I think his SEC ties are gonna bleed into this pick. A strong Big Ten is bad business for him. Them winning three in a row would bother him badly.

I really only listen to his pod because he doesn’t openly trash us. Same with McAfee but I’m not listening to that Hoo, Hoo, Hoosiers **** for a week on his pod.

That's kind of my thinking. The real potential problems are, do we commit dumb penalties on both sides of the ball, and do we turn the ball over? If we don't do those, should be in a position to pull out a win, IMO

A lot of guys in my fantasy league have watched every game we’ve played. Being in GA, most are SEC guys, like long time SEC fans. Most in my league don’t see the narrative being pushed we will get hammered. Like if you know any semblance of ball, you realize our OL/DL are elite. We get out of our own way we have a real chance at dictating this game.

FWIW no golden vaginas in our display case. All crystal footballs designed by same guy that designed the U.
Time for the first.

Edit: Also one of those rings is wrong. 1987 was a green gemstone with a diamond in the middle. I know because I’ve had one on my finger once during a business lunch with a 1987 Cane player.

I don't have a real feeling about him one way or the other. Just some information for those who put stock into whether someone is a mush.
 
Ma I am
Confident we win this game. And I’m not never confident for some reason I think we are going to shock the world. If I’m wrong still happy with the outcome of the season but I think we win this game.
