College Football 2024

Marshall's 2024 football season has reportedly come to an unceremonious end.

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported that the school notified officials of its decision to opt out of the Independence Bowl. The Thundering Herd were set to play Army in that game on Dec. 28.

The decision was made due to the program having lost 29 players to the transfer portal thus far. The officials will now look to add a new participant based on the NCAA APR scores of programs that went 5-7.

Some schools who will be up for consideration due to high APR scores include Cincinnati, Wisconsin, Air Force and Auburn.
 
There have been 19 passing attempts and 3 passing touchdowns through late in the 3rd quarter in the Army-Navy game. That just doesn't seem right

Marshall remembered Florida State trotting out their scout team with 25+ starters out for the Orange Bowl last year and nope'd right out of a 60 point ass beating from Army.
 
Fear The Bones. Having spent 4 years in the Navy, and watched enough movies and documentaries on WWII to make ones eyes bleed, today is the first time I'd ever heard of the Jolly Rogers(Est. 1943).

Yale.

National Champions in 1874, 1876, 1877, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1891, 1892, 1894, 1900, 1907, 1909, and 1927.

If you wondered, and I know you didn't, Cornell has 4: 1915, 1921, 1922, and 1923.

Not related really but I love it too much. The 1880 Centre football team, my favorite in history.

On April 9, 1880, Transylvania University (then known as Kentucky University) and Centre College played against each other at Stoll Field in Lexington, Kentucky. Though it's incorrectly claimed to be the first intercollegiate game to be played in the south, as Washington & Lee and VMI played earlier games in 1871 and 1873, it was the first game in the state of Kentucky. [SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP] Said to have resembled a combination of soccer and rugby, the game was played by fifteen players on each team, wearing heavy shoes and heavily padded apparel. The entrance fee was 50 cents.[SUP][3][/SUP]

The game's fractional score was because Kentucky University and Centre College were playing with rules allowing for quarter points to be scored. In this old version of the rules, field goals counted as one point, and touchdowns counted as 1/4 of a point.

We’d probably look back at basketball or hockey in the 1900s and not view it as the same sport, but it’s surprising Rutgers and Princeton get credit for football in that 1869 game when it was literally soccer. The move towards rugby and then football didn’t happen until later iterations.

In all honesty, you could look at soccer from that era and not view it as the same as today’s game either.
 
I see SMU/Penn St(at noon), and Clemson/Texas(at 4) are on TNT tomorrow afternoon. It'll be interesting to see the ratings of those games against Hou/KC(at 1), and Pit/Bal(at 4:30).
 
Well this game is already over. Indiana had chances early and like the OSU game, they blew them. This is headed for another blowout. Still a wonderful season though, and will probably stay the best one in my lifetime. But I have to say, I hurt Curt Cignetti. His “confidence” sickens me.
