Ole Miss advances to play the 12-2 Miami Hurricanes in a CFP semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 8. Miami, the No. 10 seed in the playoff, secured its final four berth with a win over No. 2 seed Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Eve, and has won two games in the CFP this season.

Yes, I think Fernando Mendoza and his receivers are just too good for the Ducks.
The Indiana front line is great too.
Fernando is also a Christian and lets it be known.
It should be a great game, but I think the Ducks will be sent home quacking.
Eugene Oregon is unfortunately a leftist crap hole like Portland.
Glad I don’t live in blue Oregon which really isn’t that big.
Most of Oregon is red, especially where I live.

I had already posted my messages to my Georgia friends, thinking the game was over, I was sweating it out there for a bit.

Right? And I completely understood why they put that one second back on the clock: UGA could certainly return the kickoff for a TD and win the game. It’s happened before, of course, and these kids were legitimately owed that opportunity. But…yeah, it just seemed cruel to make those boys keep taking the field when you KNOW they just wanted to go to the locker room and cry!

The whole end of the game just felt like ā€œIf the Biden Admin Ran the CFP.ā€ Just one big weird cluster…

I felt like I was rewatching the 1972 Olympic Basketball Final at the end of Georgia-Mississippi.

Where do you live, if you don’t mind me asking?

My daughter lives in Bend. Beautiful place, with a bit of a tourist vibe. I try to figure it out when I’m there. (Spent 2+ weeks with her, her husband, and their newborn - helping out while they got their feet under them - or sleep.)

Don’t say nobody. Chambliss had my attention early in the season. I’m glad to see he did not disappoint me.

That 3rd and 4th quarter string of completions he put together was nothing short of beautiful and amazing.

Yeah I read that the communists in Oregon control the voting. So there will be no changes there until the voting laws are changed. I live in Virginia where the democrats are about to lock in permanent rule.

Unless Washington trashes the filibuster or uses another rule to get the new voting rules passed
