Yeah. I’m not usually a “FIRE [insert scapegoat coach’s name]” kind of person but this is different. There were other mystifyingly horrid calls besides these. That play with Bryce at QB and Carr out wide was somehow not the worst though
It’s almost like the entire college football world massively overreacted to last week’s Michigan game.
I’ve changed a lot over my 47 years on this earth. One thing that has remained consistent—hearing The Victors gets me every single time. GO BLUE!!

I agree with this
Well expressed:
“Two things can be true at the same time, and so it is reasonable—perhaps even natural—for United States men's national team fans to feel that what happened to striker Folarin Balogun and the lifting of his one-game ban is both amazing (for the Americans) and awful (for the sport).
“These do not have to be binary states. You can think that Balogun didn't deserve a red card in the first place. But even if you feel that way, you can also recognize that so much about this situation just stinks. There was back-channeling done. Balogun's sudden amnesty adds to the perception of favoritism—a perception that also cuts, fairly or unfairly, at what the U.S. team might still yet accomplish.”

You really have to marvel at Ohio State fans. What an incredible study in what happens when you detach from any rational and healthy relationship to sports.
