Raw meat / low hanging fruit for galvanizing the team. Famous example to me is Gundy's "I'm a MAN. I'm FORTY" rant.

Interesting that he's going after fans though. usually its the media lol.

I think Tyriq McCord went after the fans for ****ting on the coaches IIRC

This all goes back to Sonny Dykes comments about Hoover’s turnovers, from my pov. Hoover has none against 3 cupcakes but fans are complaining because Indiana was up 14-0 against WKU at the half compared to 21-7 for Nevada or 49-6 for UGA.

So he is preempting the criticism for Hoover otw; win or lose.

Yeup, both teams have losses to ranked p4 opponents, but at the same time, both teams need them to keep winning.

Andy Staples suggested that footwork run/pass tell from Dante Moore purposely was given out by OK State’s players to the media and went viral because OK State wants Oregon to fix it as they need Oregon to keep winning to have a better shot at the playoffs.

Others disagree w/ me, still, i think Tulsa vs Arkansas is the most consequential matchup. They’re in the best G6 conference, and a win over Arkansas would be their second p4 victory. It’d be similar to Tulane last year who beat Northwestern and Duke. I think a 12-1 Tulsa w/ a conference championship beats out a 12-1 W. Michigan or Boise State.

i dont think the committee will consider western michigan having a loss when it comes down to it- their "good loss" will probably outweight any g6 win against p4 (haven't been many of note) or even a good win against a g6 team from another conference, especially with the NCAA coming down and saying replay was wrongly applied but they can't do anything to change result- cfp knows that it was a win.

Very interested in seeing how Wake Forest performs against Louisville.

It'll be a nice little glimpse into the future.

I don't know if it's gonna be that much of a game. If we don't get all those injuries the game may have ended 45-14. Wake is good but Miami absolutely dominated them for 2.5 quarters before the injuries.

Maybe they get a confidence boost. I hope they do. But it wouldn't surprise me if we're looking at a Louisville blowout.

Outside of us there are a few games I’m watching. I’d rather see Clemson over Cal tonight as well (I actually think we have a better chance beating Clemson at night compared to a noon. Mario gets the team up for big games so I’m not worried.) as well as:
- Iowa over Michigan (**** Michigan)
- Ole Miss over Florida (I worry about ole Miss having a let down against UiF but their offense is going to feast, Tebow talking the gators up is nauseating)
- A&M over LSU (**** Lane, don’t care for Elkins but an LSU meltdown would be funny)
- USC over Oregon (whichever team loses is gonna be facing some serious heat)
- Louisville over Wake
- VT over BC (Honeslty would like to see VT win as many games as possible because last time a ranked VT came to the rock we obliterated them and I dont expect less this time. Would also make for a good conference win)

If we cannot beat Clemson by 24+ or more, we have existential problems. They are buns.

Riley cannot lose considering the rest of USC’s schedule. He is on playoffs or bust mode. Oregon can go 4-8 and Lanning won’t get fired.

Still stunned UF is favored. I got ole miss by 10+. They haven’t missed a beat from the playoffs, and they’ve withstood two really good rushing attacks already. Philo can’t hurt them with his legs like Leavitt or Lincoln.
 
Army’s offense reminds me of Scooby doo hallway chase-scenes with how many people’s movements are in sync to get to the next spot/doors all at once; shuffling and chopping feet.
