College Football :2024

For some reason, flag planting became a thing yesterday.

The media has suddenly decided to make it a thing.

Is planting a flag after an upset win over a rival a thing?? Not really.

Is a shoving match breaking out because of it that amounted to little more than a 60 second mosh pit with guys in pads a thing?? I suppose so, but it’s not that big a of a thing.

Yet, it’s all being made into this great big thing. It’s really not. People are saying it disgraceful, and classless, and bad for the sport. Okay…sure. It will be shown on bumpers and promos when these two teams play for the next twenty years, but it was awful and bad for the sport.

It shouldn’t be allowed. The coaches need to address it. I’m not saying it’s nothing, but it really wasn’t THAT big of a deal on either side. I just hope everyone that is overly sensitive to extreme acts of violence and was triggered by these awful events is doing okay today.

Before the game I don’t think it should be allowed, after they kick your ass, they can do anything they want outside of violence imo. You don’t want it done, don’t get your ass kicked. You can’t handle losing? You’re a bitch.:l… it’s a part of life. Another indication of our everyone gets a trophy society and people don’t know how to act when they lose. Just like uc before the brawl.

I hope some big dollar school doesn't buy the Gamecock's QB away.

In the conference championships on Saturday (played at neutral sites?):
Georgia is "at" Texas...played in Atlanta.
Clemson is "at" SMU...played in Charlotte.

Can we just get to a final bracket? These conference championships games and peripheral bowl games are stupid.

Just get to the tournament which everyone has been waiting for for 40 years. The tournament is going to be fun to watch.

I can't imagine the B1G Championship game in Indy will be a sellout like it always has been. What with Oregon and Penn State competing. I wonder if ND will sellout their playoff game in what will likely be brutal weather.

Hard to imagine two teams in the Top 3 wouldn't sell out. I'd be even more stunned if there were any empty seats for Notre Dame's playoff game at home.

Penn State has the largest Alumni base of any University and travels very well. I will be surprised if it doesn't sell out.

It may sell out, but there is a difference between selling out and having seats filled. There is an insane amount of tickets available for the game on 3rd party sites. I bet its maybe 2/3s full because The game means essentially nothing.
