  1. This coaching market really goes to show you that sometimes you gotta know when to fold 'em. Talk about the program equivalent of flooring it when you're stuck in the mud. I've got my misgivings about Sark, but could you imagine being so desperate that you're either trying to woo Lane Kiffin or you're forced to hire Matt Campbell?
  2. 24 Teams in: FBS Conference Champs plus Independents vie for 8 AQ spots For CFP qualification purposes, independent teams will be deemed a part of a conference chosen from a weighted lottery. The more teams from a given conference that the independent team plays in the CFP season, the fewer ping pong balls will be allocated to that conference. This year Notre Dame played six ACC teams, two SEC teams, two B1G teams, one AAC team, and one MWC team. So the conferences with the highest probabilities of being grouped with Notre Dame would be the Big XII, Sun Belt, C-USA, MAC, and Pac, and the conference with the lowest probability of being grouped with Notre Dame would be the ACC. The nine conference champs and four independents would be: B1G (Ohio State or Indiana), SEC (Georgia or Alabama), Big XII (Texas Tech or BYU), ACC (Duke or Virginia), AAC (Tulane or UNT), MWC (Boise or UNLV), CUSA (Kennesaw St or Jacksonville St), MAC (Western Mich or Miami OH), Sun Belt (Troy or JMU), Notre Dame (10-2), UConn (9-3), Wazzu (6-6) Oregon State (2-10). When all the CCGs are done, the lowest ranked conference champion is eliminated. Then, for whichever conference Notre Dame got grouped with, if that conference's champion hasn't been eliminated, the team higher ranked between Notre Dame and its conference champion gets the AQ. For whichever conference UConn got grouped with, if that conference's champion hasn't been eliminated, the team higher ranked between UConn and its conference champion gets the AQ. When the dust settles, there will be at most 8 conference champions in the CFP. After those 8 AQs, the 16 best at large teams chosen from the rest of the field. The committee deliberations must be fully public and live streamed. Once the 24 teams are selected, bye to the top 8, home games for first two rounds with an option for the home teams to waive home field in favor of an alternate site (domed stadium) of their choice for weather and logistics purposes.
  3. Rookie from rapelor, most likely in the lead for ROY
  4. The warriors are BAD without steph. Like, incredibly inept on both sides of the floor.
  5. we're more or less halfway there with these games over in Ireland and Brazil
  6. So she had lost her own phone that day. What's weird to me is it seems like her parents could ping the phone and saw it was left near a creek, so you'd think that a 19 year old would be able to locate her own phone and would be highly motivated to get it back, instead of doing whatever the hell else she was doing that evening.
  7. What's the thing about the phone being found by a creek. How could she have her phone two minutes before jumping and then it ends up by a creek?
  8. we're so lucky they've been ice cold from the perimeter. the game would be so much different
  9. The family hired Tony Buzbee https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/tony-buzbee-brianna-aguilera-texas-am-student-balcony-fall/269-09da60aa-6192-4504-a483-93fbd43b6c65
  10. These are the type of games that, when you win 70% or more of them, you're a good team. Workmanlike performances, not perfect by any means, but for the most part everyone did what they needed to do and they didn't panic when they fell behind in the 4th quarter. This is not the kind of games we were winning last season, even before Pop had to step back from coaching. I give a lot of credit not only to Mitch but also to veterans like Barnes, Kornet, and Olynyk, and guys who have paid their dues like Keldon and Sochan. I loved seeing that grit from Sochan getting into it with Edey. The young guns are clearly where most of the talent and upside are, but without the right vets and roleplayers the team lacks an identity and underperforms.
  11. sadly many local news outfits are nothing more than stenographers for cops, so if the police spokesperson used that copspeak it will be regurgitated in the news story.
  12. Edey's such a bitch.
  13. God I love Kornet
