7 “thin silver lining” charts from the Rose Bowl debacle
Well, obviously that was horrible. Similar to the the last 2024 loss to Oklahoma, then the 2025 SECCG loss, I’m not going to try to talk you out of this one. (Notably, I’m not including the the Florida State loss, which was actually closer than it looked, nor the 2018 title loss to Clemson, where […]
Postgame Thread: Listless Alabama is dismantled by Hoosiers
I got nothing. There is no shame in losing this game. But everyone in the building should be ashamed of the effort we saw today. They were listless, error prone, and proved everyone right who said they didn’t belong. There isn’t one position group that you can point to and say that they did their […]
Rose Bowl: Second Half Open Thread
Alabama’s offense decided to show up to the Rose Bowl about as lifelessly as they possibly could, scoring all of 0 points. The one time they started to put together a drive and got past mid field, Ty Simpson fumbled at the end of a nice run. Just a pathetic showing from the entire group […]

Wake Up! Orange Bowl New Year’s Day Open Thread
The first of the quarterfinal games finished up with Miami landing a resounding win over the heavily favored Ohio State last night. Who could have ever seen that one coming?? (Hint… that’s me!) But the real festivities begin today, with Oregon and Texas Tech squaring off in the Orange Bowl at 11:00 CT. Or, if […]
Why fourth-down conversions could be the key factor for Alabama at the Rose Bowl
It’s been an interesting road for the Alabama Crimson Tide, who started the season with a surprise loss to the Florida State Seminoles before rattling off eight straight wins. That included consecutive victories over Georgia, Vanderbilt, Missouri, and Tennessee, who were all top-16 teams at the time. But after that, the team saw some bumps […]
Rose Bowl Preview: The Indiana Hoosier Defense
Don’t get me wrong, the Hoosiers have had an amazing offense this year. They even got a Heisman trophy out of it. They’re very good. But the unit that drives this team is the defense. The Hoosiers are putting out some all-time great metrics there. They’re only giving up 10.8 points per game, which beats […]
