Anyone in the know has known since Sunday. He was ruled out at about 12:00 pm.

Not saying this necessarily means anything, but in the regular season the Ravens blew out the Broncos, the Bills, beat the Chargers convincingly, had a loss at KC to open the season that came down to the last play, lost a game at Steelers that they literally gave away with multiple penalties, 2 turnovers inside their 30 yd line that resulted in Steeler FGs, and Tucker missed 2 very makeable FGs. Beat the Steelers soundly at home in the second matchup, and blew out the Texans. I think that's all the AFC playoff teams.

This weekend thing down here is a chilly soaker with about 1-2 inches of much needed rain, at 36 degrees and a NASTY northerly wind. We need the rain BAD and we are all grateful. Sending it your way as a snowstorm, straight outta Texas with love. Hope the models are wrong and DC gets a surprise 6-12 snow. Models can be wrong.

Get those shovels ready. Heavy wet snow has caused many a blower to blow gaskets. Get the IPAs stocked up too and get ready for some nice snowy jebwalks.

I think you will all LOVE the new Jebman AI Model. It's been right so far.......

I'm craving more snow.  An inch on top of ice and slush is underrated.

So are the Ravens a lock? I mean, Pitt is a team going in reverse. This looks like easy money but I get nervous when it looks  easy.

This is getting pretty crazy...

At 5 PM they announced they were opening at regular time. The comments on Facebook were pretty rough about opening on time. 

4 hours later...

Berkeley County schools have used up their 5 allotted snow days and are now mandated to go to remote learning with any additional cancellations.  Don’t think anyone is prepared for that right away, so after 20 days off, they are going with a 2-hour delay tomorrow.

Hopefully the partial day is spent working out the details before the next snowfall.

Wow what a game.  Let’s go Notre Dame in the championship.

Would never have Allar throwing on his side of the field inside a minute left with the game he was having. Mostly bad things were favored to happen.

Yeah, an off night for him throwing but clearly they wanted to go big and bold.  Definitely an instant classic of a game, especially 2nd Q on.

Yes, it got fun in the 2h. I posted in the CPA thread that this was that dream bracket in all reality for PSU, hard to see them having a path like this again…

I hope PSU fires Franklin so I can root for them again. I don’t root for losers and that guy is a huge loser!  They will never ever sniff a championship with him. 
 

And before people start with “PSU isn’t A level” yes I know their recruiting classes aren’t on the same level as Ohio state or Alabama. They shouldn’t win as often as they do.  But they just lost to a team with a lower recruiting class than them. PSU is usually somewhere around 8-12 in recruiting talent rank. Schools below that win a national championship once every few years.  But to do that you have to beat a team with more talent than you once in a while and Franklin never ever will because he is boring, scared, gutless, lacks any creativity and is a loser

ok the PSU alumni are losers too bc they like the guy because he beats all the crap schools they play every year and so they always get a nice postseason vacation or get to act like their still college students 5 times a year when they beat up on some mid level school not on their level. It’s pathetic. They are losers too.

Before the game, Kirk Herbstreit predicted that a close game would be decided late on a Penn State turnover that would give Notre Dame the victory.  Pretty damned good call.

PSU should be able to recruit better.  You have the Philly, NYC, and to a lesser extent DMV metros right there.

lol almost too good

I remember when we were kids and ND was playing in a big game, my Nana couldn't watch.  So she'd leave the room and make us tell her what was happening lol.  I was like that tonight.
