Unlike the sissy boy Daily Thunder blog of which I ruled at one time with a Hemingwayesque iron fist…. I cover the world and write from the passion of my heart on my internationally acclaimed award winning blog. I write the truth. If Mike Gundy is a dumbass Mullet King–then I write the truth. How’d that work out for you… O State fans?
Michigan earlier today opted out of this week-end’s game against Ohio State. The Buckeyes are No. 3 on my okcthunderground.com current Power Poll. Ohio State has played five games to date while the schools in the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 have run the gauntlet and pretty much played a normal season in the midst of Trump’s COVID Pandemic Disaster….which will hit 300,000 deaths before Christmas.
For me this is a very easy answer. As in not only no, but f–k no. It is like answering a legal question in the form of a brief. This is not some rhetorical mythical question.
Who made the six game rule for the Big Ten schools after they had earlier opted out of playing football this season?
The answer is the fourteen presidents of the Big Ten institutions made this rule….and made it after the other three conferences had in good faith proceeded with their seasons. Anotherwords…the six game rule was the agreed condition which would be met by the eventual Big Ten Champion.
They made the rule purely for economical reasons and wanted to cover their collective asses.
THEY MADE THE AMENDED RULES AFTER THE OTHER THREE CONFERENCES HAD IN GOOD LEGAL FAITH TAKEN THE LEAD THEY WOULD PLAY THE SEASON….for purely economicl reasons as well. I write the truth on my blog. The three conferences in essence need this act of ‘good faith’ to allow the Big Ten champion in the field.
A rule is a rule is a rule…especially if the rule is one which was made as an amendment to specifically aid the Buckeyes.
I wouldn’t even allow the Buckeyes to play in the Big Ten Conference Championship Game if El Prez was running the Big Ten. If Ohio State can’t even comply with their own rules their own president made—then why on earth should they be allowed to advance to the national semi-finals to taint the legitimacy of the National Final Four.
This is not a legal conundrum…it is a simple application of the law.
Even in the midst of Trump’s seven million vote rout loss to Joe Biden…we still have laws. We follow the laws or what we would have is chaos and anarchy.
Ohio State should not play in the National Semi’s, but if Coastal Carolina goes undefeated I would put them in the field. I abosolutely loved the way they destroyed the Brigham Young quarterback twice on the interception return.. on the same play. It was like Ronnie Perkins scaring both Spencer Sanders and Mike Gundy on the same play. Same thing in reality. As in… game over….piss on the fire, call in the dogs, boys. That was TSN football to the max of the three letters…Toughness, Smarts, Nasty. Coastal Carolina has some John Marshall-Nasty to them. I have to admit I like their grit. I hope Joe C has their coach on his short list for when Lincoln opts out to coach in the NFL. I’m always thinking two steps down the road on my blog… as in Mike Gundy to Tulsa after Coach Montgomery lands a POWER 5 job this off season.
Should it have been a penalty? Of course it should have been. But they didn’t get caught. If the zebra doesn’t see it…then so be it. Even if Coastal Carolina gets mauled in th national semis…at least we still have the potential of an ice clearing brawl.
So in closing…I’m saying Ohio State out while Coastal Carolina joins Alabama, Clemson, and Notre Dame at the Big Dance while OU plays Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl. Florida can play Ohio State in the Peach Bowl in their sixth game of the season….as in SIXTH GAME of the season.
The end.(
