The CFP that year should've been UGA/OSU/Bama/michigan, I definitely agree. That TCU team was unbelievably weak. Even with the loss, though, our game with you guys was undoubtedly one of the best games I've ever watched. Fingers crossed we get to do it again this year.
It's funny, three times in that game I told the people I was watching with that it was over. For 2, I went to take a leak only to come back and the plays were reversed - the targeting penalty and Bowers' unreal play on 4th down. I felt for user your guy was going to hit the field goal. Again, you can be really good, but you always need to have some luck.
My wife and I hosted my in-laws for a late Christmas that weekend, and I'm sure you remember, the kick was basically immediately when the clock hit midnight, and it was the least emphatic New Years kiss I could possibly muster lol. My FIL and I both just grumbled through it and went to bed.
Absolutely. And often that luck needs to be at the most fortunate time.
There is a great - for me at least - video of the NYE countdown on a split screen with the kick on another. It was within seconds.
You mean smart people, who talk about how they beat a team in 2021, so they would beat them in 2023. Only to say in the very next sentence not to bring up how you lost to Bama and we beat Bama, because CFB doesn't work that way? Those intelligent people?
We didn't need Stallions, THE University of Michigan bullied OAM all over the field in the 2021. The entire world knew we were running th ball, including OAM. There was nothing they could do about it. That's what happens when you team takes on the head coaches charmin soft persona.
"Didn't need Stallions"
2023 was the best team OAM had in the last 3 years and it wasn't even remotely close. The offensive wasn't as explosive as 2021 and 2022, but your defense was LIGHT YEARS better than the charmin soft versions in 2021 and 2022. Your defensive game plan was also light years better than 2021 and 2022 (you are welcome, since you essentially stole it from Michigan - unfortunately for you, Michigan had way better players on the defensive side of the ball)
You're right about the defense being better, but the offense was unbelievably bad with McCord when you consider the weapons at his disposal. The OL also took a big step back in 2023 compared to the previous two years. The defense gave up about a TD less per game in 2023 than in 2022 but the offense scored 2 TDs less per game. It's unreal how little you know about football.
Actually it is only 10 point difference for the offense -- you averaged 33 points per game with McCord, while facing the #1 defense, #2 defense, #5 defense and multiple other top 25 defenses. McCord didn't play the game when you put up in his backup and put up a whopping 3 points on Missouri, but I'm sure you will find an excuse to blame him though.
44-33=11. Nice michigan math though.
No, it was literally McCord. He's the worst QB we had in over a decade. He giftwrapped your first TD for you by tossing that awful INT early on giving you the ball inside our 10. That was the difference in the game, and he offered nothing of benefit over any other QB we've had since Joe Bauserman. LOL at you being "tougher, more physical and way better coached" when you could only barely escape us at home with your greatest team ever.
It is priceless listening to your excuses. You are such a homer, you do ann't even realize you do it and I think you truly convince yourself what you are saying is true.
I mean, you've yet to ever prove me wrong, so your insults mean nothing. Defense gave up 30 point, 7 of which came because McCord is awful and gave michigan the ball at our 7. Also, I couldn't care less where they get drafted, we've become accustomed to elite QB play at the college level. Any QB we've from Braxton, JT Barrett, Haskins, Fields, or Stroud would've gotten us the win against you last year. Fortunately you faced literally our worst QB in over a decade.It is priceless listening to your excuses. You are such a homer, you do ann't even realize you do it and I think you truly convince yourself what you are saying is true.
You've now turn the game you gave up 30 points to UM into one play and that means it is McCord's fault.
OAM fans are so unbelievably clueless, they believe they will have a top 10 pick at QB every year because they had a stretch where they hit on QB's, like Stroud, Haskins and Fields. Newsflash -- that isn't the norm. NO ONE, not even the truly elite schools, like Bama and Georgia have that. And because a QB isn't going to be a top 10 pick in the NFL - it doesn't mean "he sucks".
What has sucked about OAM is on the other side of the ball, that you continue to ignore. You haven't had a Lattimore, an Okudah, a Chase Young, a Joey Bosa, an Eli Apple, a Nick Bosa, the list goes on and on.
OAM fans are all about the shiny toys on offense and then coming up with excuses for why you haven't won, when your defense is staring you right in your face. The best player OAM bought this offseason isn't the QB's, it isn't Judkins, it isn't the OL from Bama -- the best player you bought was Caleb Downs. He immediately becomes the best player on your defense.
