just three points (on a broken play after a block) for wake in the last five minutes of regulation. really impressive defense by michigan down the stretch.

wake's coach kinda looks like dave ramsey i half expect him to chastise a caller for taking out a $25K jet ski loan

The earliest known example of ‘brain rot’ comes from Henry David Thoreau in his 1854 book “Walden.”

“While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?”

feels like half the lions defense appears to be random guys I've never heard of

a friend in my dynasty league tore down his team to the point where he has half the 2027 first round and half the 2028 first round. genius? or madness?

notre dame appears to be coached to commit pass interference on every play. honestly not a bad strategy.

That's Ferris State football slicing right through the Georgia defense for a touchdown.

line judge on the husky sideline must have some money on the game

for how bad it looked last week, michigan's defense has played a lot better this week. looks they simplified things quite a bit.

really not in the business of criticizing individual players anymore but maaaaaan michigan's slot receiver......

never understood why cignetti would have been interested in the penn state job. at indiana, if you go 11-2 and lose early in the playoff, you're a legend. at penn state, if you yo 11-2 and lose early in the playoff, they will hate you.

feeling a bit heartened to see that the most of the quote tweets and replies here are just as bland and banal as what I tried to come up with for this prompt.
