  1. Can you imagine the shenanigans he and Lane could get into in South Louisiana? It would be an awesome comedy series for Amazon Prime. Like the coaches side of Blue Mountain State.
  2. If Tulane doesn’t hire Coach O what are we even doing anymore?
  3. They’ll hire someone from the NFL and say it was the plan all along and why it took so long.
  4. Agree. Seeding is fair game. And once Bama ended up first in the SEC standings winning the four way tiebreaker on conference strength of schedule it was enough to put them in the field and guarantee them a spot. If they lose to UGA it’s a perfect reason to swap them with ND to avoid the rematches. And aggy gets to show its true ass when bama blows them out.
  5. Tech will get the SMU treatment. If you're in before the CCG you don't lose that spot if you lose the game. Does not apply to BYU, UVA, and certainly not Duke, because none of them are currently in the field. The only thing that looks like it could plausibly change is if BYU wins it knocks ND out. I also assume they'll change the seeding to avoid two season rematches.
  6. So Tulane/UNT winner is definitely in. JMU would need Duke to upset UVA (and beat Troy of course).
  7. That’s literally my point. The conversation is that bluebloods will stop scheduling other bluebloods. I disagree because each side expects to win. Also I don’t hate UT, I’ve been on surly/shaggy for more than a decade because this place is cool af. You’re my second favorite team every 2nd Saturday in October.
  8. My guess is that Ryan Day expects to win that game, as does (should) Sark and Co.
  9. Another day, another example of rampant hypocrisy.
  10. Newsome needs to record one of these dick sucking sessions. Not that it would change anything because the voters in this country are beyond any semblance of salvation but because it would make me lol.
  11. Wow $38M to get rid of Stoops who did about as good as should be expected at UK? Although I assume that and Kelly's can go down if they get another job ala Franklin. I bet Stoops will get picked up even if it's at G5 level. BTW, what ever happened to Mike Stoops? Did he officially give up? Choke on a dick while gobbling them up? Feel like he completely disappeared.
  12. So we're murdering Venezualans based solely on "suspicion" of drug traffiking, while pardoning a major drug traffiker who was convicted by an American jury, and still, right wing voters don't give a shit, or think it's less important than the story about the trans swimmer from a million years ago. Fuck this country.
  13. Isn't it more their sweetheart TV deal with NBC? They'd make far less in the ACC with its shitty contract. They've spurned the BIG enough that they may have given up and have already expanded to 18, but I suppose they'd still go to 19 if ND agreed. It's the only move that would remotely make sense. They aren't a cultural fit for SEC, and the Big XII while better than ACC doesn't pay enough (in addition to similarly being a bad cultural fit). I took a look and their next years' schedule looks similarly shitty. Better in 2027, could be salty in 2028.
  14. That's what I'm saying, no reason they can't play a full ACC schedule while still play Navy every year non-con along with another of their neighbors/historical rivals like UM, MSU, and Stanford.
  15. With the USC series over isn't Navy the only traditional annual game they still play?
  16. They aren't cancelling any major matchups. Isn't this more about going to 9 game conference schedule?
  17. In both situations, I have a problem with the assumptions. That's not how sports work anywhere else. The NFL doesn't kick a team out of the playoffs if a key player gets hurt in Week 17. Its part of the broader conversation of the complete clusterfuck that is CFB.
  18. Again, why would the LSU's of the world give a shit about harm to the Ole Miss level programs? Why would they agree to hamstring their own coaching searches for the benefit of the poachee programs?
  19. Alcohol, tobacco, and too much meat make sense, but hot drinks? That's stupid af. Even back in the day there was plenty of teas without caffiene, and ancient teas often had positive medicinal properties (real and imagined). Such arbitrary nonsense, like ancient writings on pork, shrimp, and wearing clothes of mixed materials. MARTIN: Bowman says it goes back to Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith, who said he received a revelation from God forbidding Mormons to consume hot drinks, alcohol, tobacco or too much meat. Over the years, the meaning of hot drinks has come to mean tea and coffee.
  20. I've seen those discussions, but who would enforce this new calendar? The NCAA is an empty shell these days. It would require a new agreement of all programs to be bound by the new calendar and the more power schools aren't going to give up their advantage of poaching from other schools as early as possible for the benefit of the poachee programs.
  21. You're not impressed with their super secret sauce of ketchup+mayo+pepper?
  22. So it was a complete setup. The fucking governor has expressed "concern" over this bullshit. I'm sick and tired of people weaponizing religion. Fuck them all. Sky Daddy isn't real!
  23. Yeah, some are better than others, and some are way better than others, but to assume that the remaining staff is completely incapable of running an offense to the extent they'd leave a one loss team out in favor of a 3 loss team (or even two loss team if we're disregarding tOSU) is just wrong IMO. I maintain that UT's chance is in comparison to ND and OU.
  24. Leaving Ole Miss out because of the coaching change would be far more controversial than UT being left out. I didn't agree with undefeated FSU being left out because of a QB injury but at least that is the most important position on the field and it can be reasonably expected to affect their ability to play well and win (although Tua and Gilbert might disagree). I often think people have too magical a view of playcalling, as if it's some magic ability that only a handful of people can do. The staff and players still knows the playbook. I'm not willing to say with any level of certainty that they can't run an offense anymore. The players earned their way into the playoff.
