Pulling for Notre Dame with a Dookie QB over PSU?

Tough call but I ultimately found myself wanting PSU to win

Go Texas/Ohio St winner I guess

I will never understand why Penn State is still permitted to have a football team.

Back in 2001, UVa was on the brink of hiring Sandusky. Then they quickly switched gears and hired Al Groh. I've always wondered what UVA learned or was told that caused them to change directions so suddenly, and whether the answer to that question would change the narrative of the Penn State story from one of lack of institutional control to intentional conspiracy.
 
I knew a decent amount of PSU grads from one of my first jobs out of school and still know a few grads in secondary social circles. I would probably be more open about what PSU did to clean house and own up to the scandal if their fans weren’t so weird about the whole thing. Almost every single one of them gets super defensive about Paterno and “not erasing history” with his wins getting vacated. It makes it very easy to root against them.
 
Very difficult for me to pull for any of the final four teams this year. They're all so hate-able, for various reasons. On the bright side, it's fun to watch any of them lose. Seems like OSU is on a mission, that loss to Michigan might've been the best thing that happened to them this year...

My sons wife has given me two grandsons (with his help lol) She grew up in Columbus etc All I got
 
Really dislike both teams and have never pulled for ND, but I like Freeman. Seems like such a good fella. I'll be pulling for ND but expect them to lose by 21.
 
Grew up in Miami, so that set a base.
Later on, that NBC deal always stuck in my craw. Hated that Holier than Thou we don't need to join a conference.
They were one of the first schools to really game the college rankings.
Now's an adult that Ive met some alums (and there are plenty in LatAm)...they are insufferable.
 
Iowa St and Kansas St kick it off next Saturday from Dublin. This game next year will be with the Heels and TCU!
 
That opening drive plus was indicative of the first game of the season, but it’s football and I’ll take it!
 
Rough weather for the game in Ireland. But ISU overcomes a prior turnover to get on the board first.
 
It’s funny, my side by side view has the ISU/KSU game beside the Washington/Baltimore preseason NFL game. The team colors are remarkably similar.

Maybe it's just me, but I only pay attention to NFL preseason games until CFB games start...and then I don't pay attention to the NFL again until the regular season starts.

I put it on the foursquare b/c I was doing some
housework and wouldn’t be able to easily flip back and forth to avoid commercials. 🤷‍♀️
