[CJ_24]

OHIO gon' beat FICKELL by 40

 

[Brick]

utah 38-10 or 38-7

 

[Southpaw]

Tennessee gonna lose again. But it won’t be Niko time until after the loss to Mizzou

 

[Mame YO]

utah 38-10 or 38-7

Like I mentioned in the other thread Barnes could run around in circles and do some funk and that’s always concerning but Oregon’s D is better than USC’s D and Oregon has already faced and adjusted for several elusive QBs that are various forms of more athletic, better passers, etc.

My basic read is that their defense is really good but that their offense isn’t good enough. Statistically, their offense is pretty awful actually. In a scenario where Oregon can move the ball reasonably well they should be able to pull out a win. Utah is a hard read in general though. They could definitely muddy things up.

 

[bruin228]

Gotta wait until December to do the WHICH TEAM IS PLAYING BEST RIGHT NOW schtick

 

[Yankee151]

GO BIG RED

View attachment 30165

I might be BIG RED FACE BLIND on a couple of these. Is the first one from the left a kicker? Also, what position group is the last one?

Otherwise, very FUN

 

[Ander1345]

Hope can't hurt me this week.

 

[Mame YO]

 

[BasinBictory]

Don't know ow how USC is that far to the right of the graph. Their offense has been shit for several games now.

 

[Mame YO]

I’d like to see what happens if they take the data and weigh it towards recent games more heavily.

@bruin228 @bruin @BearDownUofA there is still a chance

 

[bruin]

That being said, don't sleep on a mid-afternoon (2, 2:30, 3, 3:30) on Pac-12 Networks.

 

[Ander1345]

Put that shit at 9AM PT

 

[bruin]

Bruins are wearing throwbacks Saturday evening vs Colorado. Also, homecoming weekend and on Friday they’re revealing the Terry Donahue statue outside the Rose Bowl. Hearing over 200 former players will be in attendance.

 

[goblue96]

There's only one UCLA alum that I care about.

 

[jamesnathan]

@bruin Thank you for doing so awesome with these threads each week. Wish you'd included this image, doe.

 

[Dr. Shats Basoon]

man I guess I lost track of Beavs when they lost to Wazzu but they are up to #11 now? good for them

 

[Karl Hungus]

I'm sorry, Michigan's incompetent spy is named Connor Stallions?

[Skeeter]

Stick it in my veins.

 

[Dr. Shats Basoon]

Michigan turning into perennial contender after the COVID year sure looks a lot more suspicious now.

edit: surely this guy didn't buy tickets in his own name

 

[jamesnathan]

I'm not sure what the big deal is. I'll let Michigan buy me tickets to a bunch of football games around the country, too.

Narrator: He did

But he did.... military mind. Michigan man.

of course you don't!

 

[OU11]

I'm going to laugh if the story is this guy went to all this trouble to wait for the second quarter and be like "I think big mac means run" and so he could look smart.

 

[Skeeter]

It didn't look suspicious before? Coach about to be fired. Dodged Ohio State in the COVID year so they didn't lose by 60. All of a sudden he "figured it out"?

But not in the playoffs?

 

[DeadMan]

This is why I love this scandal. Idiots like @Skeeter are convinced this is the reason why Michigan has been good, when it really makes a difference maybe 1% of the time.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

@DeadMan what size shirt you wear? Gonna buy you an Altuve jersey

 

[Mame YO]

why is meatchicken's trog qb getting heisman hype

 

[CJ_24]

Is the issue that he bought tickets to games (that are otherwise televised) and decoded what their signals were? Is that it? Isn't that called scouting? What am I missing?

 

[CJ_24]

why is meatchicken's trog qb getting heisman hype

Because Oregon sucks

 

[Mame YO]

Because Oregon sucks

at least 5 QBs having better seasons than meatchicken QB

 

[Dr. Shats Basoon]

They/He was scouting live and in person which is not allowed.

It’s a big deal because if you know when the coach puts 3 fingers in the air they are running up the middle you can stack the box. The argument that Michigan would beat them anyway sucks because it’s an obvious competitive advantage if you know what your opponent is doing and when

It’s not a big deal because all coaches are watching game film and should be picking up on these signals too

 

[OU11]

You can't record a team's sideline using either audio or video. I also think official staff can't do in-person scouting so if you go to another BIG game don't record.

 

[Skeeter]

Oh name calling! An he mad.

Of course they only won because they cheated. They couldnt win before they cheated.

You cheat to win. Not cheat for fun.

BEATING THE SPREAD SINCE HARBAUGH ARRIVED

2015-2020

ALLEGED CHEATING STARTED

2021-2023

Y'all in shambles.

Game film doesn't show signals correlating with plays. Otherwise there would be no point for cheating like Michigan and the Patriots

@deadmong deep into his mental gymnastics as reality is setting in.

 

[DeadMan]

Again, OSU changed their signals before the game last year and still got their asses beat.

 

[Skeeter]

Whatever you got to tell yourself. Lol

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Does stealing signs in baseball even do anything? The Astros still won games sometimes when they weren’t banging the trashcan

 

[DeadMan]

 

[Skeeter]

Harbs doesn't make it through the season. May not make it through the bye week

 

[DeadMan]

Harbs doesn't make it through the season. May not make it through the bye week

Lol. Not a chance.

 

[Karl Hungus]

It's not like he killed a grad assistant or anything.

 

[Brick]

this is fantastic

 

[Brick]

@DeadMan what size shirt you wear? Gonna buy you an Altuve jersey

better idea:
