Isn’t that the ultimate cringe, when they interview the winning QB, and the first thing he does is thank Jesus?
Been driving to Swan Hill all day and saw the scores. Come on Irish!!

I would say the ultimate cringe is saying it’s the ultimate cringe.
And I would say you’re way out of touch with Australian customs. It’s what a lot of Aussies despise about the US.
Sure you’re not a septic tank?
I’m not from the US. You are watching something from the US so maybe accept what some of their customs might be.

No. I won’t accept that overt Christianity.

Then don’t watch US sports, that’s all you will hear.

Interestingly in today’s game not one Penn State receiver completed a catch.
All their receptions were by tight ends and running backs.
It’s the worst thing about US sports, that is certain.
A close second would be the fetishisation of the US military. I appreciate that gridiron especially is full of war metaphors but I’m not interested in turning everything into army cosplay.

It was an incredible game. Well done Fighting Irish. I hope they win the whole thing !!

Ohio State up by one TD at the half.
Texans, after not doing much, managed tie it up with 20 odd seconds left in the half, but the Buckeyes needed only one play to regain their lead.
In other news, Georgia QB, Carson Beck, goes to Miami via the transfer portal.
He originally committed to the NFL draft but changed his mind.
I hate the transfer portal. This is not free agency, and shouldn’t be.
I’m not a big fan either.
The toothpaste is out of the tube now… you can’t go back. Oh well…
The college football of my youth is gone and isn’t coming back. The Big 8, the triple option, the wishbone, tearaway jerseys, the old Orange Bowl, the indigestion I would get during Nebraska-Oklahoma games.
At least I have old games on youtube.
His NIL contract is US$4m to transfer and play for Miami

Free agency and the college players get huge $$ to transfer and play elsewhere under NIL. No wonder Saban tapped out - it’s evened up the playing field and brought under the table payments out to the open
Yeah, I mean in a way it has eliminated a lot of pretenses.
Even the era of college football that I romanticise had a lot of dodgy ■■■■ going on.
Wow just wow. The state of Texas just groaned simultaneously
