I lost my virginity in the 1970’s. Tip of the hat to you, wherever you are, MaryBeth.

Sorry, AA ..... but Wiz's post is just too good. AND THAT IS a rarityMission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off.

Now Talent is taking the troll Froot Loops road, I know I don't need to school you ... but
Bo and Michigan's goal was to win the B10 and the Rose Bowl. Like Liney said Michigan didn't have opportunities to go Bowl games outside the Rose. I'll bet any money Bo would take RB win (though he didn't fair well out there) over any other bowl no matter where Michigan was ranked year-end.Comment

But OSU couldn't beat that Michigan team, and according to Archie Griffin, when his team was on the bus headed for home, they felt they were going to be sitting at home during bowl season. Even though they tied Michigan, they felt it was going to be viewed as a loss.Originally posted by iam416 View Post
Then, MSU came along ..... and saved the day for Woody and OSU.
Woody paid MSU back later on when he reported them for recruiting violations, and they got hit with NCAA "no bowl" sanctions.
But MSU still looks at OSU as an 'ally' .... enemy of my enemy is my friend, .. and all that ..."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Well, the point, obviously, is that M wasn’t winning a national title in 1973 regardless of whatever the B10 did or if they changed the rules on bowls. Zero chance.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

They had the same percentage of a chance as OSU did. Maybe more."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Right. Which was zero. Because in 1973 the coaches poll had already awarded Alabama the national title BEFORE the bowl game and #1 UAT and #2 Notre Dame played in the Sugar.
Ohio State obliterated USC 42-17.
There's a definite case to be made that OSU and M were the two best teams in the country. But the tie cost each absolutely any chance at the national title.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

We'll never know how undefeated Michigan would have fared in the post season because they were not allowed to play. Everyone they were competing against for a possible NC was allowed to play.But the tie cost each absolutely any chance at the national title.
This is another case of where the players were not allowed to determine the outcome. See: M v TCU.
And Wiz: I'll save you the trouble.

We KNOW….let me reiterate…we FUCKING KNOW they wouldn’t have won a national title. Zero chance. Like I said. It’s impossible to dispute so the goalposts sort of move.Originally posted by lineygoblue View Post
Yeah, pre-75 B10 bowl rules sucked. Unfair and just stupid. That fact doesn’t change the above facts.

Michigan was allowed to determine the outcome of the TCU game. Quit blaming the refs. The refs didn't throw two pick sixes. You do that and you are going to lose.Comment
