so true on the holding! On osu’s last td drive even herbstreit was surprised how bad the holding was that didn’t get called on third and long from mid field
@E_Roc Yeh that Wilson. My bad. Floating around the internet and facebook.
A bucknut or a gold domer for the title? Hmmm..I could care less. As someone else posted, maybe they play 20 OT's and are so tired they cant even make it back on the field to finish..GoDAWGS!
We beat a very good QB in CJ Stroud. He’s just balling out. So is Ladd and Kamari
@MikeGriffith Mike 98% of the time I like your articles. You do a great job. But Come On Man !! The title Really rubs salt in the wounds of DAWGS fans here on DAWGNATION , less alone the story.
Now you will say Well I have a duty to report CFB news, Yeah I get that to a certain extent. But I doubt very seriously there’s many Ohio St. or Notre Dame fans here. And if you’ve took a sampling of the comments by the over whelming majority of Dawgs fans on here you’d see there’s a general dislike for Both of those schools football teams.
There might be a handful of fans for those programs here but I’m sure they are a microscopic minority. Some fans out of sportsmanship will give those programs a tip of the hat, but that’s as far as it goes.
So in conclusion a Request Please, don’t bombard us with how great those programs are from now to Jan 20. Thank You Mike, keep up the other wise great work !! Go Dawgs !!
I've hated ohio state since that piece of trash W o o d y Hayes punched a clemson player in the 1978 Gator bowl. Hayes paid dearly for his actions that night, his coaching career ended the very next day (I remember laughing) because of his public display of s-tupidity on national TV. And that's yet another reason I dislike ohio state so much.
Well, all the holding calls aside, I still don't think we should reciprocate. We want to play authentic college football, regardless of the other team's cheating.
Call it what it is, the game that saves Ryan Days Day, cause if the irish were to beat them by say three scores, they would still prolly fire him. I look for Day to bend Freeman over and pull that golden horseshoe out his keester and hand it to him. I know, now you gotta get that image outta your head. Sorry
OSU spent around 21 Million while UGA spent around 18 million.
Ok. The 20 million Ohio State spent, based the reporting that I've seen, was on paying players to play for them. This includes retaining current players, yes, and that applies to every program now. But it also applies to going around poaching top players from other programs around the country, like Will Howard, Quinshon Judkins and Caleb Downs. (And now seemingly Damon Wilson, in addition to guys like Julian Sayin, who hasn't played yet but was set to go elsewhere as a highly rated recruit.)
Georgia isn't really doing that, at least no more than any other major program. Can you really deny that Ohio State has stood out in that regard? And - again, based on what I've seen - the 18 million figure is Georgia's total collective, which includes funding for player resources, as opposed to money spent simply getting players to come here.
Also, as I touched on below, they've become the poster child for the devaluing of the regular season, embodying the idea of "getting hot at just the right time" more than any other program. I get that that's not as big as deal to people in this new era, but it still bothers me.
