I think Micah Shrewsberry just tried to fight an officiating crew? Sprinted at them and got held back by his assistants like Woody Hayes in 1978?

I’m so confident the falcons would have found a way to lose that game after the clock ran out two different times

KJ Bolden and CJ Allen getting dinged on the same play is the absolute worst combination outcome possible for Georgia, this is not the 2021 defense that just has a million dudes who can fill in anywhere and be fine.

Most famous instance of someone thinking they had a timeout but not having one in Superdome history, can't think of another one.

I know you *can't* call HB counter on literally every single play for an entire game but also I think I would try if I'm Georgia!

Sad to see small programs get these shots and not even score against the 1 seed, unlike other powerhouses!

We do it for baseball in Omaha and softball in Oklahoma City, there is no reason we can't do this for football.

Dan Lanning in his halftime interview: "That was my fault we didn't score more, I shouldn't have gone for that fourth-and-2" Also Dan Lanning: *Goes for two more fourth-and-2s in much worse field position than that one and gets stopped on both*

I personally think it would be cool if 2026 was generally better than 2025, just throwing it out there

Andrew was exactly on the money with 17-14 Miami before that last minute touchdown. Subscribe to Mitten Football.

Ruben Bain is going to go fourth or fifth in the NFL Draft because teams reach for QBs and some team is going to get a 15 year superstar with 100 career sacks.

I *think* the answer for Miami tonight is just to heat Sayin tf up. Todd Grantham this thing. Your corners are not handling Smith and Tate at all but Meisdor and Bain might be able to.

Arch Manning getting declared the 2026 Heisman favorite on the broadcast for his 2025 bowl game, time is a flat circle.

My Cheez-It Bowl story is I covered this game last year and they announced “charcuterie” as the media meal and it was literally a salami slice, cheese cubes, a blackberry and a grape shoved into a box with an unopened bag of Cheez-Its. (Not complaining, just a hilarious description of charcuterie)

I have never seen that happen in a football game ever but also if I told you someone would get penalized for trying to punt in front of the line of scrimmage you'd be like "oh the Iowa game is on, neat"

Covered a late season Nats-Braves game just to write about Nasim Nuñez, he got put in the lead-off spot for the first time in his career, I got a joke text something like "imagine if he homered on the first pitch" and he promptly yeeted one oppo off a future HOFer www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8fl...

2025 NBA Draft is going to end up being one of *those* drafts you look back on 15 years later, Flagg, Harper, Edgecombe and Knueppel all absolutely rock

Since 2018, the Atlanta Falcons are 53-78 (.405) in games played with playoff eligibility, and 11-4 (.733) in games played after being mathematically eliminated.

The NFL definitely put this game as week 17 MNF way back in May because it knew how many people would have fantasy championships hanging on Bijan Robinson and Puka Nacua right?

I infinitely respect App State for playing this game, but cutting off your own Christmas Break and then losing to your archival a second time to finish 5-8 would be a tough beat.

Nobody asked me but I covered three women's Final Fours and had to write spring football stories by remote at 'em all, but I also had to write about football during MBB and baseball/softball. The real crux is if you're not writing about football you're simply not employed to write at most places.

Jefferson Pilot ass NFL game

Did Cris Collinsworth just make a curling reference?

Bears giving off major Georgia Tech vibes. Caleb Williams is the super fun and kinda reckless QB (Haynes King), Ben Johnson is the running-game obsessed head coach (Brent Key) and the defense forcing a bunch of turnovers created a great record but feels unsustainable.

It's not gonna count but that play in the Carolina game is the closest thing I've ever seen to the immaculate reception in modern football, exact same bizarro bounce.

The Cougar looks so sad. Mortified at this creation, even.

I like the broadcast seriously suggesting Georgia Tech should punt trailing by four with 1:01 on the clock, let the spirit of Rod Gilmore consume you.

This tweet but it's explaining to John Heisman that in 2025 a major prize for Georgia Tech football will be to play in something called the Pop Tarts Bowl.

Is BYU playing in the Pop Tarts Bowl some type of dessert conflict of interest with Crumbl or what.

I will never forgive myself for not being able to coax a freelance writing gig covering the Pop Tarts Bowl with Georgia Tech after covering like six Jackets games this year. (Not really, but still would’ve been fun to see the Pop Tart destroyed in person)

Clemson vs. Penn State in a snowy Yankee Stadium is the magic of bowl season.

Think my Trae Young verdict is he's (obviously) not terrible but he makes no sense with this roster the Hawks have put together. It's so hard to find good lineup combinations that both maximize his offensive talent and are also capable of hiding his defensive deficiencies.

Nikola Jokic when he really gets rolling is the best show in sports right now. Not just "playing well" or "locked in" or whatever, the "I control every single thing happening on this entire court like I'm the claw for a toy machine" thing he's doing right now.

Merry Christmas folks, this sweater still rocks

It rules so hard that Timmy Chang looked at his alma mater in pretty much the worst shape an FBS program could possibly be in, said "hell yes I want to fix that" and then completely did it.

Hawai'i Bowl is tied in the fourth quarter and has been a BANGER www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pHf...

We’ve lost a lot in the way of tradition in college football but if we ever lose the Christmas Eve Hawaii Bowl I will truly throw hands, the most perfect game in the sport.

Trae Young might be the best rorschach test in basketball at this point, you can watch the Hawks with him on the floor and truly see whatever you want.

Philip Rivers trying to scramble looks like the Step in Time dance from Mary Poppins.

Truly nail on the head stuff here from Jesse. If you're arguing against G5s in the playoff, you don't have anyone in your life who went to a G5.

It would be preferable if a certain strain of CFB media just came out and said that only 20-25 teams should ever be allowed to play and everyone else should turn in its uniforms and shutter their programs. That's what y'all mean, stop beating around the bush and just own it!

Okay I think Chicago Pope might actually be a thing

JMU has acquitted itself better than like at least half a dozen P4 programs have in playoff games over the year lol

Not to be overdramatic but if the Bears can't beat the Packers at home with no Jordan Love or Micah Parsons, I think their fans are reasonably within their rights to actually ask the team to leave for Indiana.

Anyone arguing against G5 teams in playoffs doesn't have any people they care about who went to non-blue blood football schools, Oregon could win 90-0 tonight and it would absolutely be worth it.

Can't believe they would put Tulane and JMU in the playoff, kick out these small schools forever smh (Should've put Montana and Montana State in to be clear)

Oklahoma so thoroughly got what it deserved there. Clock management, playcalling, mistakes, penalties, all of it. Go home and think about what you've done until September.

Is anyone in the world watching this game going "Man I wish this was at Jerry World or Hard Rock Stadium"

By far the funniest part of this is Alabama fans have generally been ready for this season to end for a month and mad at DeBoer and they just keep tripping into success, it's Eagles fans booing Nick Sirianni after wins but southern.

On another note, it's nice to see the NBA standings playing the hits.
