Really a great game to watch tonight. Clemson fought back hard to get the win and deserves a ton of respect. Lawrence will be a top pick in the NFL somedayā¦ LSU was amazing in their win as well, but also once again showed that Big 12 teams donāt emphasize strong defense the way most top contenders do. That was proven again tonight with LSU putting up 63 points on them!
Whoever ends up winning the National Championship in two weeks will certainly be deserving of it!

I see that! Itās the logical outcome, really. The Panthers are a mess this season, while the Saints are a well-oiled machine.

That should surprise exactly no one, and even make certain folks happy. (cue @Tis_Bearself)

I think the general feeling is āshould have been done months agoā.
I understand we lost to the Bungles today. Thatās just sad. I have not watched any football for a couple of months. I watched some Hershey Bears hockey instead, it was less depressing.

I know we still have the playoffs and the SB, but I want to say āthank youā that even though we all (mostly) support different teams, this has been a fun and respectful conversation.

LOL. My parents went to Hershey Bears hockey for many years, many years ago. The team plays in Hershey PA where they do make the candy. What I find funny is when Mother describes the way they and other fans dressedāshe was in her nylons and heels in the coldest of weather (at least they played in a stadium) and Dad wore a suit and hat. Thatās how sports fans in general dressed in those days.

The Lions play in a domed stadium, so weather is only a factor going from wherever you parked to the stadium. The rain from earlier in the morning had stopped, but I did pick up some grime pushing myHope youāre enjoying the game

Ha! I feel just the opposite! Football should be played in the weatherā¦itās an outside game. Dealing with the weather conditions is part of the strategy of the game. We Coloradans love it when a game here becomes a snow bowl as we have experience in dealing with it. Home field advantage should mean something! And true fans will dress for the weather as well.
Sometimes the game isnāt just about the skill of the players but their ability to adapt to various situations. YMMV

I did have a good time cheering my head off with my friend Lisa, even though the Lions lost. And we had yummy Buddyās Pizza after the game.

Many people consider playing and watching the game outside in winter weather to be a key part of the football experience.
Iām personally not big on that and would prefer to watch such games from a sports bar, or perhaps a nice VIP enclosed box or sports bar in the stadium itself.
I remember a time in elementary school when the local Catholic boysā high school, which is one of the two that always plays in the well-known annual āHoly Warā, decided to have a bunch of the elementary/ junior high bands from various local Catholic schools play a song on the field at half time. It rained buckets and we ended up sitting in open bleachers in torrential rain for most of the first two quarters before the half time performance was cancelled and we were all sent home. I had no idea what was happening on the field as my father at that point in his life didnāt watch a lot of football and it was raining so hard I could barely even see what the players were doing. That kind of soured me on watching football games outdoors for several decades.
