So Manny Diaz makes the ACC title game before Miami does, you say?

Wow, that SMU kick started right and stayed right the entire time.

AUBURN! NO!

Eddie, you can literally go through Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin to get to your destination. It's probably easier that crossing at Niagara. (Also, the Michigan/Ohio state line crossing on I-75 is depressing as hell.)

Week 14: Postgame

Auburn?

Please don't call the open spot in the zone the "honey hole"

And it looks like Sparty will (officially) win Jonathan A. Smith's first ever Big Ten conference game.

@podkatt.bsky.social Have we ever talked about the one little wheel of cheese sitting back in the locker that let's out the tiniest "Woo!" after the "I woke up feeling the cheesiest!"

Maryland/MSU getting "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin at the two minute timeout commercial. Just a little on the nose there.

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social might be more dudes in this photo than in the rest of the stadium

They're not going to keep 'em off the Lawn tonight! Congrats to all my Hoos down in Hooville.

Sparty, no! November Maryland is alive!

No.

absolutely absurd way to score

Michigan (hockey school) sweeps Harvard on the road with an OT winner!

Friend of the blog @mishadhar.bsky.social asked, and we checked, yes, they're all sons of the NHL players.

Achievement unlocked! 2025 Florida State is now the first non-bowl team since 2007 ULM to have beaten Alabama.

Illinois and Northwestern should've known this would happen in November on a Great Lake. Gordon Lightfoot tried to warn them.

this game kicks ass, either nobody is there or they're all sitting on one side of the stadium

Not much to report from Harvard/Michigan. Harvard's had a pair of power plays, but Michigan PK up to the task thus far. 0-0 with just under five left in the first.

Musing about the MSU-Maryland crowd

How does anyone get that wide open on rivalry weekend?!?

LSU is 7-4?!?

ALERT: PREP AND LANDING MARATHON, including the new "Snowball Protocol" tomorrow night from 8:00-9:33 ET on ABC!

I understand that LSU does not have a monopoly on it, not even in its own state, but Ohio State's band repeatedly playing "Neck" was disconcerting at best.

That is one of the greatest catches by Oregon's McClellan that I've ever seen and needs to be rule of cool'd.

I know I like to poke fun around here with the pictures of Big Nut being sad during a Michigan win but this year Ohio State really had Michigan’s number. By all accounts I’ve heard he’s a really nice guy so this year we get Happy Big Nut. Til next year, sir!

Folks, I have come around. Pajama pants are pretty great if you know you're not going to have to go back out again for the day.

I did dozens and dozens of "Playlist Drafts" on Facebook where I would propose a theme and people would comment with a song that would fit the theme. Some playlists were bangers, others were just too clever by half, but it helped foster connections across the miles.

Jason misses Andy Dirks so much right now.

Yes, CBS, "Bohemian Like You" by the Dandy Warhols to break (which, of course, is not their most college football song, since "Every Day Should Be a Holiday" exists.)

Yale came from a 28-point deficit to beat the YSU Penguins? Must have pulled out the old OSS playbook.

Also, Michigan plays Harvard in hockey again tonight and it's streaming on ESPN+ again so there's that. We're on to Cambridge.

Well, that went pretty much like I expected it to go so, the Streak is dead. Long live the Streak. I am happy that I nailed my clothing choices to get the warming layers right.

How in the hell do you have a grade 3 muscle strain in your leg and feel like you're good to play, that's a completely tear of the hamstring! Football players are nuts.

In the Big House, Moe and Franz Wagner (and Paolo Banchero with them)

Ragnow failed his physical? Aggghh!

Good news, current Big House soundtrack status: Old records taken off the shelf.

Good morning Carl, student section, assorted others.

Good morning, House of Moderate Dread and Alarm, hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Yes, Pat McAfee is here. Yes, he's already shirtless.

Relaxing before walking to the game in the totally expected way, reading ~Midnight at Chernobyl.~

Ohio State has not beaten Michigan in football for 2191 days. #GoBlue #Michigan #BeatOhio

Well, the Athletic Department lied. It said on their parking inventory page that my favorite parking lot opened at 8 AM, but it was opened when I got here at 7:55, so I got a good, but not great parking spot. Alas.

Today's GameDay fit check says that we occasionally must bow to practicality, so my 2004 home navy #1 Braylon Edwards jersey, which is an XXL, gets the call for today over a sweatshirt, a polo shirt, and a long-sleeved t-shirt. Let's Go Blue!

Fire up it's Saturday! Let's go Blue!

That was a gorgeous pick by Arizona just now.

In a vacuum, losing to Florida is not something shameful. Losing to 2025 Florida, however, should be disqualifying for the playoff.

Side note: I really want Michigan/Vanderbilt in the Citrus Bowl over another Michigan/Texas game, especially since we are slated to play them again in 2027.

Why the hell do you need ChatGPT to plan a road trip? Like, just do your own research sir, it's not that hard.
