100% that's because of Oli but no big deal.
The "Cardinal" way
Won't use ABS because it's showing up the umpire
Won't properly use a DH since it's been implemented
It's a day off position whole others are paying millions on a real DH bat - making our lineup consistently short day in and day out
We have a fundamental philosophy issue #stlcards
BLW will be airing in your living room through ESPN this Summer, and they're switching to Yellow Bat - a format we're quite familiar with. See which CCW stars are entering the draft pool -> https://t.co/YuiNueCNxF
This year, CCW's teams will be decided by draft! We've selected the top 7 arms in the league to draft the squads, and everyone else - returning players and rookies - enter the pool. Stay tuned for news and rumors, brought to you by the number 1 wiffle ball insider Jorf Porsson.
Last, but certainly not least, stands the CCW strikeout king 👑 to close out our milestone series accounting for benchmarks met during the 2025 season!
Will Smithey stands alone at the top of the CCW K list with 8️⃣5️⃣8️⃣ and is well on his way to 1K in the next couple seasons.
Arkansas started their season 2-2 with losses to Ole Miss by 6 and Memphis by 1 when @NDFootball visited for 1st time. Atmosphere was like their SB. ND crushed them 56-13 and their AD, Hunter Yurachek, fired their coach that day. Same Hunter who led the committee. Just sayin.
Hot take: The Committee protected the SEC (and their own anuses) in the opening rounds. Oklahoma-Alabama is a rematch of a snooze fest instead of Oklahoma-Miami and Texas A&M-Alabama to ensure at least one of their two teams with the worst cases to be in the playoff, is making it to the Quarterfinals. They also protected Ole Miss by having them at #6, when they should have been dropped because of the coaching change (per the Jordan Travis Rule). A rematch with Tulane should get them to the Quarterfinals without much trouble, too. @TimBrando talks about Pure Playoff Privilege, well, he's right. This bracket was carefully selected to protect the SEC because they're ESPN's cash cow. Anyone who tells you otherwise is gaslighting you.
Week 1 mattered to Notre Dame and Miami.
It didn’t matter to Alabama.
CCG mattered to drop BYU.
It didn’t matter to Alabama.
You don’t hate ESPN and the CFP committee enough.
So folks at @espn are upset ND isn’t playing in a bowl game after weeks of folks politicking against the lack of conference affiliation, using them as a pawn for their CFB playoff selection show, having the ACC network play the UM/ND game on repeat for 48 hours during Conf Champ week BUT now it’s a bad look they don’t want to serve ESPN’s best interest by playing in an exhibition bowl game? Got it.
Alabama should absolutely not be in the playoffs.
Spare me the “A conference Championship loss shouldn’t hurt you”
If you’re getting beat by 21 points by a playoff team then you’re not a playoff team.
If you hate ND and want to celebrate today that’s fine. Just know that you have no integrity and don’t care about the sport because anyone who cares about competition & having the best 12 teams in should want Notre Dame in the playoff. If you don’t it’s because you lack character
Today’s precedent:
Bama is only team to lose its conference championship and not drop a single spot in the playoffs.
Anyone who thinks Yesterday’s bama team is better than Notre Dame doesn’t watch film.
ESPN Memo to all employees…
“Any analysts or broadcasters mentioning the FSU-Alabama game or suggesting that Alabama could be left out of the playoff in the next 14 hours will terminated during the next annual layoffs. Be warned.”
Notre Dame got fucked over by the @CFBPlayoff and @espn
ESPN has hundreds of millions of dollars in deals with the SEC and ACC and a 7.8 billion dollar deal with the CFP
the FIX was in = every ESPN talking head pushed their narrative to the finish line.
COMPLETE BULLSHIT
