That didn’t age well.... Ouch.
 

Are they REALLY little brother??? 11-11 since ‘99, and 9-4 since 2008. 
Anyway, I didn’t go to either school, so “little brother” to me is Michigan, especially since Mike Hart was the RB when they lost to my Mountaineers!

It’s always a crap shoot with these two teams, I remember when I was a kid, the whole play clock deal... 

But... I don’t even know anymore.  College football, like many other things is being ruined by hype, over the top stuff, and National Championship or bust mentality. The new CFP system took the tradition out of the bowls.  I don’t like this system at all, or the direction college ball is headed.  Might as well quit watching now to save myself the disappointment when Lil Wayne is on a college half time show instead of the Marching Bands.

I think if ND loses to Clemson without Lawrence at QB, they're done in the CFP race unless the Pac 12 decides to do their best Big 12 impression. If Clemson loses, I think the CFP will have a new 2020 metric to give them a pass. 

I think if you have 1 loss, you're out of the CFP, especially if you don't win your conference championship game. Eight game seasons don't allow room for error.

I say this...but I know that chances are, there's two Big 10 (Wisc and Ohio St) or two SEC (Bama and Georgia/A&M) teams in the CFP this year.

Ok.  Fully comfortable with anyone other than Don Brown at DC. And Harbaugh can go with him.  Bunch of clowns.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team play this bad... repeatedly.

I am a ND fan today.

Witnessed some of the worst play calling in the history of the game today...

Not at all... glad to have you aboard the Notre Dame Express .

We were travelling and I did not get to see but a smidgen of the game. Sounds like it was everything most expected of a #1 vs. #4 matchup... and then some.  It's a bizarre season and one that will not hold any serious value to the serious fan, but a big win nonetheless.

[jddaigneault 1,149]

Diehard Clemson fan, congrats to ND. I hope we eviscerate you in the ACC championship just because of this...

Really? In 2020...

Great game though. Glad to see the next two years of Clemson QB play will be phenomenal!

[fixyurdivot 8,524]

Agreed, those not wearing a green mask need to be called out.

Meh, college kids storming the field...some with masks, some without. I think ND is facing a lot of unnecessary scrutiny over this. The fact that colleges are meeting in person, despite all the rules for masks, tells you something. This is a microcosm of the college social scene in 2020. Do you really think there are parties/social events on college campuses that are 100% compliant with masks? 80% compliant? 20% compliant? Did you follow the rules when you were 20 years old or did you think you were untouchable? And how is this different than adults at political rallies or protests? 

Also, Bama -27 on the road in Baton Rouge. Has a defending blue blood national champion fallen this fast the following season? My goodness.

Jim Harbaugh needs to hand in his resignation letter at half time.... what in the world is going on.

I'm such a bad Penn State fan right now. I put money against them hoping to lose the money so they would win, but instead I won 8 bucks. Not a big win but I would have rather lost money for them to win the game. The Big 10 has some real problems right now.

Just catching the end of the game, which sounds like it was over early on.  Yea, I' thinking it's time for Big Blue to do some shopping.  It's been quite awhile since Michigan has been this bad.  I mean Wisconsin is no pushover but Blue looks way out of sorts.

Sorry for the beat  down. On Wisconsin

Harbaugh doesn't recruit well... that's the problem.

He doesn’t do anything well.  I want to know another coach that would run the wildcat twice in a row on the 1 when you have a 6’5” QB, but have a 5’8” HB throw the ball... not many, at least in the “big boy” conferences.

It is really bad, COVID aside, I still think they would have lost these games, in a similar fashion.  There is no drive... the don’t use what works, they keep trying to run the same old plays that get stopped... gun singer of a QB but don’t let him throw.  Who knows.  They will maybe win 2 more. But I doubt it.

[Shankster 25,562]

I am relinquishing my implied fandom (due to my birth location) in Michigan.  Since I move around so much, I have made the command decision that I can pick whatever team I want, whenever I want.  Until Jim Harbaugh is coaching somewhere else and Michigan makes it to a Big 10 Championship, I refuse to be a fan.  Thank you, please enjoy the rest of your day.
