Inside joke. In the bowl games thread, we started playing a drinking game every time ESPN mentioned the Florida players opting out.I don’t get it.

I don’t get it.
They did, and while opt-outs do make a difference, I think Oklahoma wins that game either way. Texas had like 7 guys opt out for last nights game and still dominated.
The good news about ISU opponents always being at full strength just means no one can make excuses.
Every day that funky looking defense of yours continues to confound me.
I think that is what will be the most interesting part of this matchup for me.
I want an up close look at that defense.
What my wife tells me, and it’s a lie!Well, you'll get it in 64 hours.
Coin night at the Cave Inn, twofers from Doughbiz cookies, back in the 80's.I lived next door to Dugans Deli... about 1984

Edit to add: We also did this...

I think UF only had one defensive starter on opt out and UF didn’t belong in the same field. Trask was completely lost and it didn’t matter who was gone.They did, and while opt-outs do make a difference, I think Oklahoma wins that game either way.

Na, I’m just salty we didn’t get to beat the Ducks and shut up all the pretentious fans that showed up here. They’re still showing up and it’s rubbing me the wrong way. I can tone it down.
I think Florida losses to Oklahoma no matter what, but when you lose your three leading receivers who combined for 24 TD catches and other important pieces it’s gonna hurt. Imagine if Iowa State found out they had to play without Hall, Kolar, and Hutchinson.
The line went from -3 to +8.5 after the opt outs.
I saw someone asking about talent disparity earlier in the thread and where is it, well here are the Oregon and Iowa State draft prospects from the mock draft and big board consensus, which is pretty neat in that it combines all the prominent sources to create a consensus ranking of prospects: https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/colleges/2021/iowa-state-cyclones

I looked at the past years consensus big boards and they had Allen Lazard, Hakeem Butler, and David Montgomery all higher than they were actually drafted - so I don’t think there’s any anti ISU bias.
Here is Oregon’s for 2021, with the opt outs crossed out. I crossed out Verdell because I also don’t think he’s playing. For 2022 they have Thibodeaux third overall, and for 2023 Justin Flowe (injured) 6th, Noah Sewell 14th, and Verone McKinley 28th.

Looking at the highlights it makes me wonder if the FL QB is color blind (red camouflages great with a green field). I've never seen such blatantly poor interceptions.I think UF only had one defensive starter on opt out and UF didn’t belong in the same field. Trask was completely lost and it didn’t matter who was gone.
OSU was struggling horribly in the Big 12 down the stretch and they beat Miami. UT was fortunate not to be 4-5 in the conference, has a ton of opt outs, had Ehlinger out the second half, and they dismantle Colorado.
The Big 12 is good. That is all.
Personally, IMO these 'opt-outs' reflect the lack of dedication and continuity of a team. Buy an insurance policy if you're worried abut getting hurt. Why would no ISU players 'opt-out' and Oregon's best would?I think Florida losses to Oklahoma no matter what, but when you lose your three leading receivers who combined for 24 TD catches and other important pieces it’s gonna hurt.

NDSU ranks the worst fanbase Oregon never played. This was posted on Bisonville.com yesterday:
I know it’s probably petty. Do you play them anytime in the future? If so, do Duck fans a sold and knock the **** out of them now that you’re good.
Must be a quality mock board to think there’s any chance in hell Purdy would go pro this year.I think Florida losses to Oklahoma no matter what, but when you lose your three leading receivers who combined for 24 TD catches and other important pieces it’s gonna hurt.
