Started this so I could mention... Joey Bosa ending his career in classic osu style, getting ejected. Buh bye.

He led with the crown of his helmet to the chest of the QB while throwing the ball away.

He wasn't throwing the ball away, he was throwing an interception.

I saw the replay and this one looks like a good call, but I agree that most of these calls are too close to eject someone over and should just be 15 yarders.

There needs to be separate levels of targeting like the NBA does with flagarant fouls.

Targeting 1 (w/o intent to injure) - 15 yard penalty

Targeting 2 (w/ intent to injure) - 15 yard penalty + ejection

whether it was the right call. I'm saying that the automatic ejection part of the rule is stupid. Boss deserved a 15-yard penalty, not an ejection IMO.

I'll start off with the filth sucking and I'm not a fan of Bosa but he is damn good. He shouldn't be out of the game. He could've killed the ND qb by just pushing him on his ass real hard if he wanted to. He just kind of popped the qb in the chest with his helmet. You cant kick a guy out of the game for that. If he would've did it helmet to helmet, well then the kids see that and want to mimmick it but this is football. Stupid refs and rules!

Maybe it's different if you live in sec country. I think listening to Ohio State fans and MSU fans brag about their wins is worse. As long as we win our regular season games we'll be in the top 4 and eventually win a NC.

The point is what does it mean for the big ten to look bad. The big ten looked really bad two bowl seasons ago yet Ohio State still got in and won it all. If a Sec fan gives you shit you can say Northwestern might have lost but Michigan owns the sec.

OSU's D-Line is down 3 starters now with Washington, Schutt, and Bosa all gone. They're down to using their 3rd-string DT in Michael Hill, and it is showing in ND's run game.

There is only one game on now. Anything else is just... whatever. Not worth watching.

3 cheers for old Notre Dame though. At least there is a chance they do something when a player gets arrested.

That's what used to be called "spearing", or leading with your head/helmet. That's been a penalty forever, you can't do that. It's most dangerous for Bosa on that play. Today's players need to understand concussion risks, and they need to get that shit out of the game. Players take enough unintentional blows to the head, they absolutely must get the intentional ones out of the game.

Because of the suspended license? Zeke's license was suspended because of an overdue speeding ticket for going 59 mph in a 55 mph speed zone... Not exactly a felony.

IIRC, Zeke said they sent the notice to his family house, and he wasn't aware that his license was suspended.

So if a Michigan player had been arrested for drunk driving, underage drinking, driving with a suspended license and had publicly criticized his coaches, you would be saying the same thing?

Zeke was not driving drunk, or drinking underage... It was literally him hydroplaning on an extremely rainy day in Columbus, crashing his car and almost getting seriously injured. Then the cop scanned his license and realized it was a suspend for a speeding ticket that was due on December 1st.

It would be overly cruel to suspend a player for having a near death experience, no?

i.e. their jerseys look purple and their uniforms aren't Adidas anymore.

So much to the ridiculous stuff earlier in the season where people claimed it was Adidas' fault that our jerseys looked purple in some light conditions,
