25K seems optimistic. They announced 56K for Maryland and there were a ton of empty seats

Highly doubt we get a choice in the matter. :-/ *

Yeah, he (and the team) deserve better. Hopefully we get a good location and showing for our bowl.*

We owned them so hard, they will never recover from 12/31/2024.*

That seems like a bad draw for a team on track to win 8/9 games.

Can somebody please explain why Hudson Clement had not made a catch on that third down call?
Posted by ATL
|
At the game, it was painfully obvious that the refs were having an off day.
Posted by tvillini
|
The 24/7 pod referred to it as a phantom call. They generally play it very "journalistic"

The first quarter was a slog with the reviews, TV timeouts and injuries. *

Mike Carpenter claimed it was the same ref as the Indiana game in 2022.

That was the same ref for the Purdue game for the Spoon pick bullshit PI call into next play TD*
