Listening to The Athletic CFB podcast and it got me to thinking: name a game that basically signaled the death of a program. For me, obviously 2016 FSU v Louisville. Kinda wanna say 48-0 UVA over Miami to close down the OB but I think their decline happened long before that. Definitely 01 Colorado destroying Nebraska. Watching that game in real time was Feel free to add on

For TCU: Any of the one score/close games 2014 OSU won in the second half of that season. I think they get the nod over Baylor tbh. They had B12 title opportunities since then, but it unfortunately never came together again for a relevant postseason W

Texas: 2010 BCS Title Game, sure they’ve had a couple of big wins since but they haven’t been true title contenders in over a decade

USC: 21-55 L to Stanford in 2009, USC usually got upset once or twice a year from 06-09 but this felt different, their third loss of the season, when this happened it was clear that USC’s days of running the then Pac 10 were over.

so came across a tweet and it was about the transfer portal.
If its a 1000 kids in there, its May, what exactly are these kids plans for Fall?
i hope they coming to a decision on where to play
or they just not expecting to play this upcoming year

Fire Christmas week game

Crazy how both of those teams directly hurt the sport and their respective postseason systems being wire to wire #1

XFL should feast off this. It is a problem tho. Khalan Laborn been in the portal for two yrs and he was a 4/5 star outta Va Beach

UCLA getting throttled by Miami in their makeup game is another one. Program really hasn’t been a title contender since. And that was supposed to have been their year

Cavs was right about this ending up as free agency, but I still don’t think it’s necessarily a negative for players. nikkas just gotta better understand their value

sometimes being that backup for an elite program IS better than trying to be a star elsewhere

They didn’t hurt the sport, beat them, be better

the BCS was indirectly deemed a failure bc of 2004 and the group of 5/lil guy has been forever marginalized bc them scrub nikkas DID get beat and still got in

I’m almost hyped for Auburn football since the first time in a hot minute I think it’s a direct correlation with the chance I won’t see Bo as a starter

 

[datmass]

interested to see how storm duck has recovered and Howell in an offense thats lost players at the
skill positions.
