If you take yourself out, you can put yourself back in, or at least, you can try.
Ward took himself out at halftime. That was it.
I read this as "Ward's NIL check bounced. He found out about it when he checked his phone at halftime. I hope nobody asks about it again. We need to recruitsome more athletic suckers."![]()
Ward breaks D-I passing TD record, sits 2nd half
With eyes on the NFL draft, Miami quarterback Cam Ward made NCAA history in his final college game, throwing a record-setting 156th touchdown pass Saturday, but he sat out the second half of the Hurricanes' 42-41 loss to Iowa State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.www.espn.com
“After the loss, Miami coach Mario Cristobal was asked about the decision for Ward to sit.
"All meetings with players, and decisions like that, we made them in private, we keep them in private," he said after the loss in a news conference that did not include Ward. "So, I'll prefer not to answer any questions as it relates to that. But I know he played his best while he was in there."”
Coach-Player Confidentiality. For f*ck’s sake.
Or, Ward told Mario at half time he won’t play the second half without a bag of cash in his hands before they leave the locker room. We can guess at the amount requested, but let’s go with $100k.I read this as "Ward's NIL check bounced. He found out about it when he checked his phone at halftime. I hope nobody asks about it again.

If he is not going to provide an explanation, we can fill in the blanks as we wish.
100% a bad look but I’ve seen a lot worse this bowl season.Definitely not a good look. That said, glad da u lost
A worse look is that Ward stayed in just long enough to get the record for most TD passes and then took himself off. (I just now read this.) Yeah, bad look.100% a bad look but I’ve seen a lot worse this bowl season.
Cristobal seems like a big push over to me.![]()

TransPerfect? Take it to the test board.Today, 12/30:
TransPerfect Music City Bowl: Iowa vs. Missouri, 2:30 p.m. EST, ESPN
Beau would have run it.Missou drops back on every play on first drive and Iowa defense smothers. Not sure why they didn't attempt a run at all. Could be a long day if they can't run at all.
Cook did scramble for one first down, but I wouldn't expect to see that a lot.Beau would have run it.
playing into the memesIowa 4th and 2 at Missou 40 and Kirk Tomlin decides to punt. Just awful.
In a PC he said that 6-4 was one of his favorite games of all time. I'd like to say I was surprised.playing into the memes
seriously, Ferentz is living in 1985 as far as football strategy, it has been amazing how successful it has been, and also a product of their B1G West scheduleIn a PC he said that 6-4 was one of his favorite games of all time. I'd like to say I was surprised.
strange to see Iowa with an elusive QB.helluva effort by the Iowa QB
that kind of stuff drives me nuts when PSU is on the receiving end of it lolstrange to see Iowa with an elusive QB.
well I think it used to be, but I've seen players do that a lot in the last few yearsThe Missouri players keep spinning the ball after first downs. Ain’t that delay of game?
