lmao we’re done here

exactly — fundamentally it’s a loser mindset, stop inventing reasons for the decision and just say you don’t want the smoke

-wouldn’t happen
-the game is loadbearing in the sense that both sides should obviously want to continue playing a great rivalry, but beating usc again and again has barely mattered for nd in the recent past — whole lot of good it did for us on the bubble this season

riley is quoted as saying that the “key” to extending the series is if “it just doesn't put you in a competitive disadvantage on access to the playoff.” he literally advocated for playing only in the context of auto-qualifiers and the removal of stakes. anti-competitive nonsense

and that’s the clear reason the series is off! i don’t understand trying to retrofit justifications with random scenarios here. usc leadership said they wanted this to happen, and it happened.

…what? if usc wins that game they get a playoff bid and maybe nd doesn’t. why are we twisting ourselves into knots with random hypotheticals to pretend usc hasn’t been publicly trying to escape this game for over a year because they don’t want stakes attached? come on.

fuck off

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

what happened in 2013?

glad it’s not just me — couldn’t get enough of that record, Psychic Wound definitely one of the songs of the year
