Re: This looks fun

This is going to be a really unpopular football opinion, but I don’t like watching/playing football in the rain/snow/cold. Don’t like how weather can impact the game.

Explain the Reasoning

Can someone explain the reasoning behind the BIG10 & PAC-12 moving to conference-only games? Why can an in-conference team go play at Ohio State, but can't play Bowling Green? Why can they play Michigan but not Central Michigan? Northern Illinois? Ball State? UCLA can go play Utah but can't play San...

The Biggest Detriment

The biggest detriment to this program is the inability to win big games. I'm not talking about bowl games where we play an average G5 team, but how we never beat our scheduled P5 opponents, beat Boise once in a blue moon, etc.
