Btw, is anyone else feeling extra creepy that this story came out just days after the Dark Side of the Ring episode regarding Grizzly Smith?

Depends on whether or not there's unanimity. If it's not a unanimous move, it'd have to wait 'til after the current CFP contract runs out (through 2025 season). Unless I'm mistaken, a unanimous vote means...immediately, right? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's how much of an asshole he was. 34 years of death, and still isn't nice.

Exactly. SMU was among the more saintly actors out there. There wasn't a campus-wide rape culture like at Baylor, there wasn't a campus-wide gun culture like at OU, there wasn't a campus-wide drug culture like at...well various places. No Joe, no Bo, no Woodrow getting a woody about dead kids in Vietnam or punching players in the throat on national TV. No, SMU was executed because some guys decided to pay football players and acted like asses about it when questioned by the authorities. Fuck. How else are you supposed to explain to a kid that the lessons you learn playing college football are anything other than "whatever you do, don't get caught?" And I'm not in any way suggesting that Michigan, or any other program, deserves/deserved the death penalty. But holy shit, each one of these stories actually makes the NCAA look worse and worse for doing that compared to other things that were happening right under their noses. That decision did not age well...at all.

1992, definitely not the first

BUT BUT BUT THE REGULAR SEASON WON'T MEAN ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!THINGS!!!!

Again, only the highlighted teams would have made it.

Meh, most of the playoffs in college football have them. In fact, D3 is the only one that regularly doesn't. I tend to prefer the 8/16 proposals myself, but I wouldn't necessarily tell a 12 to "get fucked." I would argue that it seems bound to present screwy situations between the 4th and 5th teams from not having any concrete methodology to separate them, but that's still a whole lot better than this bullshit ass "let's have a committee of people involved with universities in the P5 choose 4 among 130!"

They rely on the Hitlerian strategy to advance their little rabbit-assed nonsense. And I don't say that pejoratively, I literally mean that this falls right in line with what Hitler described in Mein Kampf. His mini-thesis on that was that if you tell a small lie, it's actually harder to sell than a colossal lie. With a colossal lie, the liar is relying on the idea that enough people will think to themselves "there has to be some truth to it. Why else would he be saying it? Surely no one could be so brazen as to just make up a whopper like that." So Biden didn't steal the election directly? Ok, blame the voting systems that were developed in left wing Venezuela by socialist Hugo Chavez. What? Chavez has been dead for 7 years and the voting systems have no connection to him anyways? Ok, blame the Italians. After all it's the perfect plot! Italy is one of the most right wing of European governments not named Russia, so what better way to fool everyone than to sabotage Trump's re-election? It's genius!!! After this gets shot down in flames, my guess is their next move is to blame Santa Claus and the North Pole sending us subliminal messages in our Xmas gifts in 2019 to vote for Biden. They have nowhere else to go...but they will keep going. They will never fess up to reality.

And we have a winner. There's a difference between a registered Democrat and a person who understood that however terrible Joe Biden is w/r/t public policy, he's still miles ahead of Trump just on that front alone. Unlike "insane" and "21st century Republican," that Venn Diagram has two circles.

Right, it's about changing the face and not the substance just like when the GHWB admin wanted Saddam Hussein gone without fundamentally changing the government of Iraq.

I was gonna say, I’m struggling to find a downside to this. And of course it’s bullshit anyways. The difference between the mainstream of Israel’s political far left and far right covers the length of a flea’s hop.

It probably will fail and it’s fucking stupid because football is the only sport with this issue. MLB has all those minor leagues NBA has the G league NHL has multiple minor leagues Only with football do you have this dynamic where the top dog is actively trying to sabotage what amount to minor leagues that don’t even play during the fall. It’s so ironic that Vince McMahon, of all people, has tried this twice because the NFL is to football as the WWF/E was to wrestling post-1983: expand it as far as possible and kill all developmental leagues/territories that aren’t even there to compete. It’s ridiculous because so many football players who might have had a chance to make it in the NFL after a couple years in a USFL/XFL-type environment have been snuffed out.

Well grass does have chlorophyll in it

Hey man, I’m here trying to destroy the Illuminati FOR YOU! Some people, I swear.

Dude, come on. QAnon is not a “political position.” Pizzagate is not a “political position.” ”The 2020 election was rigged” isn’t a political position. Political positions arise from an agreed set of facts. When we got rid of slavery, the anti-abolitionists weren’t arguing that “slavery isn’t a real thing.” When women got the vote, opponents didn’t argue that “there’s no such thing as women.” I understand where you’re coming from, but let’s not confuse reality denial/make believe/pretend/conspiracy theories and all that crap with “politics.”

I suppose the counter-argument to that would be “what makes you think it wouldn’t happen again?” And I say that seriously. We’re trying to teach this lesson to the most unteachable people on the fucking planet.

Tempting as his execution may sound, that’s a horrendous idea. Do we really want to make a martyr out of that fucking clown?

Ok so that’s your version and probably the version a lot of fans shared at the time. Here’s mine: The year before, I attended my final Rocky Willingham kicking camp. Mangum was a camper there...not even an honorary counselor like every other NCAA kicker I’ve ever met at one of those. He was there to learn. He was there to improve. He worked his ass off. He got frustrated as hell too because his big issue was that he kept planting too close to the ball. For those that don’t know, doing that deprives you of power and it pushes shit off to the right if you’re a righty. But he kept at it, kept at it and kept at it. It got to the point where he was showing up early and was seen kicking with these pieces of tape marking his should-be plant spots. I’ve no doubt that he kept at it for the rest of that year and his senior year after that. Heres my point with that little anecdote: at that point in his career, he was never going to miss that kick. It didn’t even make a flying fuck that one of those Michigan guys got a hand on it. When he lined up to kick the ball, Texas was winning that fucking game.

If someone rolled your balls toward a drinking straw, it would look like two kernels of corn rolling into a storm drain.

He and the rest of those clowns share a common strength: an unlimited capacity to pretend to know what they do not know, which is equaled only by their unlimited capacity to pretend not to know what they do know.

Yeah there was already a big set up near the Omni on Saturday with these two douchebags with a barricade decorated with these posters “demanding a new election.” It’s funny that these stupid right wingers claim to be constitutionalists when well over 90% of what they’ve been suggesting be done by this “outrage” of a “rigged election” run in direct contradiction of anything the constitution has to say about presidential elections. And they have the fucking nerve to pretend to be offended when we call them stupid. As I said before, if they’re offended by that, then I’m offended that they’re offended.
