NCAA College Football -

He's a hero.  

Yeah I remember scratching my head about the supposed shit that Deadspin reported.
First, Deadspin is known for writing horrible shot to make people laugh.  They are not a legitimate news source.
Second, Pete is a pot stirrer who is anti war...he has made that clear enough.
I don't recall anything he said about 9/11 not being real, because that sort of thing would have stuck with me.  I could be wrong, but I think it was more of a wonky bullshit story about 9/11 weirdos loving Pete Carroll because he supposedly grilled a general about all of the tin foil hat theories he'd heard of.  (Very different than saying he believed those things, even if the report was factual.)

If I heard or read that he said he didn't believe in 9/11 or that 9/11 was perpetrated by the US I would be disappointed and would have to remove him from the best coach of any team I've rooted for pedestal.
The shit that Pete did in the community around USC went far beyond what he did as a coach.  Dude is an amazing man.  That stated, I would not support a tin foiler if I had a credible source for him stating such beliefs.  

to me, washington is a good bet at +5.5 but

a) what do I know?

and

b) I don’t bet

Being from the West Coast, I have an affinity for the PAC 10/12/2 conference. Hoping for a UW win.

I think Washington outside WRs are better and their D is underated..... should be a good one

This is what it comes down to here.  Can the receivers make some big plays.  If they can, that will force Michigan out of its conservative shell.  And if it's out of it's shell, then they are more likely to make a mistake or two, giving the Dubs an extra possession or two.  If Michigan plays a clean game and controls the outside, they win.  

Either way, the reigning national champion next year will be a Big Ten school, so I like that.  But MUCH prefer Washington.  

jj mccarthy seems to be cut from the annoying TB12 cloth.

I wish georgia had been in this thing.

Washington hung around and fought back into it....and then self distructed.
Surprised to read and see this us Michigan's first undisputed title in forever.  (1940s, I believe)
That 97 team was truly a split.  Nebraska was undefeated and beat a better opponent in the bowl, I always gave them that trophy.

Penix missed high all night, few of those wide open throws get converted its a different game, Michigan took care of business. They earned it

He had pressure on him and threw dimes all season.  No doubt pressure plays a part but he had some pretty rough misses.
Michigan won and it was a thorough victory.  
Congrats on first undisputed championship in 76 years!

I shoulda known washington’s bubble would burst. I saw them struggle to beat some very mediocre Pac12 teams.

Washington had a great year and they have a great future with DeBoer. If I were a fan, I'd be happy and optimistic. When you're not getting top 5 recruiting classes every year, it's effing hard to even make the playoff, let alone win a game. It may not feel like it now, but I think it was a successful season.
