Has to be said CFB is "entertainment" (like NFL)

This is for all of you freaking whiny crybabies that want to fire Dabo and everyone else

Similar to WWE, the NFL and many other "sports" there is enough money at stake in the weekly outcomes (read betting dollars, ratings etc...) that the games are scripted.

Stop and consider in every game borderline calls, first down/short of the line to gain, holding or no holding calls or PI or no PI calls, plays that end up in a late score to cover the spread or maybe blow up the already made spread (which side does Vegas make the most money on?)

Consider it all joy my brethern that our Tigers get to participate in the highest levels (top 5, 10, 15, 20 and an occasional natty) of the scripting. Much in the same fashion that Hulk Hogan or the Patriots and now the Chiefs or Alabama and Ohio State get to participate.

So, stop with the "fire Dabo and everyone he knows and loves and has hired" calls. Dig deeper, do you really think with the literal Billions of dollars on the line that it would be left to chance? Ratings/viewers, scripted finishes, multi overtime games, soap opera recruiting stories all part of the "game".

I know, you don't buy it. But does anyone here buy the fact that they replayed wescos catch and overturned it, mafahs fumble (during the next play)...by the way how silly of a play was that anyway? Have we ever had Cade take a snap under center who falls down pitch to mafah who is also falling down with another pitch pending but the ball is loose? Rewatch the game...we really were moving the ball at will and then we would have some really weird offensive calls. Do you really believe our OC and Dabo doesnt know what to do to gain a yard?

Start watching games with the intent to figure out the ###### and keep loving the Tigers, enjoying the "show" and remember that only one team wins the natty each year.

By the way...what about the ###### for Clemson to lose to Carolina but then for Miami to lose so Tigers could be in the ACC and have a chance at the CFP? What planet would Michigan beat OHState this year? Michigan is horrible...you are convincing me that Vandy smoked Alabama? Oklahoma rises from a 5 loss grave to beat the crap out of Alabama?

Equate Finebaum/Herbstreit to Gordon Solie announcing Georgia Championship Wrestling/Vince McMahon or by the way...joe Tessitore does both WWE smack down and college games (this week...The UGA/Gatech game which was a fixed contest/scripted as good as any ever)

Withhold judgemental remarks until you sit back and realize that Cov19 was a flam, we didn't walk on the moon, the history we have been fed has been doctored, big pharma doesnt want you well, etc...

For your viewing pleasure, watch this and then think...have we ever seen a weird fumble at a bad time that turns into a scoop and score the other way to completely turn a game around? Or an easy pass that is deflected to make it an interception or a weird play that ends up in a key turnover? This shows Univ of Miami's game vs GaTech last year so this would make 2 years in a row of the "U" taking a dive)

Yes, some games even big games are scripted or "thrown"......the thing is most people can't understand exactly how it works.......i everyone "in on it"?......does the coach know? etc

basically it is combination of referees and 4 maximum key players on offense/defense who are in on the throw........and no the whole team/coach is not "in on it" to receive maximum profits it would be no benefit for every person on the team/coaching staff to know. split 5 ways instead of 70.

To the people who think this is "just to silly" and absurd to believe.....you better believe it.....especially now with sports betting tools....the Alabama baseball coach already got caught red handed doing it....they buried the story quickly after reporting it.

Let me give you a scenerio to think about....the QB of a school like bowling green is not raking in these huge numbers that the big school players are, not even close.......what if a player in the betting game came up and told the bowling green QB they wanted him to "throw" the worthless bowl game they are playing in and are favored by 18 points.. and in return he gets 500k. do you think he's going to "throw" that game or instead just play one more worthless game and hang up the cleats.

You literally lost all credibility in your first line

I've thought that at times, but are some or all the players in on it?
