To be honest, I wish he could have gone for 2 after that last TD. I’ve never liked his coach speak but this is just a tremendously honest take.
FWIW… I love this take by CJF…

Why wasn’t the XP attempted? I thought you always had too do it
Agreed. CJF has been near perfect in most leadership situations this year - stopping the players from planting a flag at USC (contrast to Day looking bewildered and lost while his players brawl with police and Michigan) to this answer - the players deserve to play. Period.
In college, if it has nothing to do with the outcome of the game, it’s ignored. We had to attempt one on the walkoff vs Iowa cuz it was a 2-pt margin and in the event of stupidity, Iowa could have still tied the game. In NFL, they used to always kick it regardless but I think they changed that rule a few years ago after they realized how dumb it looked after the Minneapolis Miracle.
Oh OK. Thank you for the explanation. Yes it was the Iowa game I was thinking about.
It's got to be difficult keeping your game face on 16-18 hours a day. Football aside, James is a good guy.
What was day supposed to do? It wasn't his team planting the flag. Once the fight started there wasn't any coach who could stop it.
Moore is the coach that should have stopped it.
Okay, Lower Bucks County vibes.
Agree. When I saw Locksley whining, I thought CJF should have said, “Get off the field, we have an extra point to kick.”
Yes, Michigan has a reputation. Remember they had multiple scuffles with the other team in the tunnel a few years ago and Harbaugh played dumb about it. Apparently, it’s not just their fanbase that is pompous.
Lower Bucks got Southern Speed.Central Bucks owns Lower Bucks
Interesting that Sergei Brin, the co-founder of Google, is a Maryland grad. His father was a professor in the UMd mathematics department (I never took any of his courses) and dad has given big time $$$$ to the mathematics program. No NIL money, though.
Wow. That is telling. I assume the Under Armour guy gives them NIL money?
In other words, locksley and his team need to wear their big boy pants and their big boy balls if they are going to play Penn State.

I'm a 'let 'em play to the end' guy when it comes to the backups getting their chance on the field, so I applaud CJF on this, even if it did have a little touch of 'FU Locks' embedded in it. Maybe even louder applause because of that.
To me, it had a little touch of Woody Hayes, who, when asked why he went for 2 after a TD very late in the game, to make the final vs. Michigan 50-0 in ~1968, said "Because they wouldn't let me go for 3". One of the great college football rivalry stories ever.

Meanie!
BTW we went up 48-10 (at ~14:50 in the game) with our starting RB. The final ended up being 48-23. It appears all of the talk from Maryland's coach is pure frustration.
