Expectations and False Expectations are what make CFB greatest sport ever.
Congrats to Coach Freeze, his staff and the players for an amazing bowl victory!

But we are and taking G5 so be it - and your posts live forever PH.tyndal23 wrote: ↑December 18th, 2021, 11:16 pmYour tenuous grasp on reality is concerningSly Fox wrote: ↑December 18th, 2021, 10:47 pm Let's try to savor our 3rd bowl victory in three seasons of eligibility before we start fretting about who we are losing.Yes !!!

I’ll just do 1 month which will get me through the national championship but unfortunately won’t be able to watch any games on ABC.On sling tv all football games that are on ABC are also available on espn3 which is a channel on slingtv so you don't miss any ABC games with sling.
I expect YouTube TV will be hemorrhaging college football fan customers over the next few days which will hopefully make the new contract negotiations go quick. I’ve really liked YouTube for the past 2ish years except for this nonsense.

I took note of the fact UAB beat a ranked BYU team in the Independence Bowl today, and we handled UAB so easily during the season that it just makes me scratch my head over this team. I just feel like we were better than our record indicates.Have you seen next year's schedule? Not exactly "favorable".
Looking back on the season, I wish we could have the Syracuse and ULM games back, and the way we played Ole Miss, even with our mistakes, left me mystified as to how poorly we played against Louisiana and Army. We should have been at least 10-3.
I'm looking forward to a strong recruiting class, a more favorable schedule, and seeing who emerges as our new starting QB. Let's make our last year as an independent the best one yet!

Fortunately I’m not going to be home tonight so the pain won’t be as bad. But YouTubeTv better get this sorted out. Considering they just upped the package prices and now are charging extra for 4K they can compromise some. Since Disney is hemorrhaging money on ESPN they can compromise too.
And all you non YouTubeTv’ers will be jealous

If we lose all our P5 games and win the rest, we'd be 8-4 going into a bowl game. I think BYU is winnable, which makes us 9-3.rmiller1959 wrote: ↑December 19th, 2021, 1:34 am It was great to see such a strong finish to the season, and it's one of the few times they played a complete game from start to finish.
