  1. Maybe. But in the discussions over whether to drop Ole Miss, or where to seed them if they are in, I can see committee discussion along the lines of: "Sure, their DC is staying. But who's calling the offensive plays? Who's scouting the first round opponent and formulating an offensive game plan? Who's managing the clock and making halftime adjustments on the offensive side of the ball?" I can't think of a data point for comparison, but has a highly-ranked team finished the regular season, only to play a bowl game after its head coach and offensive staff left the program? I have to imagine that throws even highly-talented teams in disarray.
  2. It's not a completely unreasonable decision for the committee to leave Ole Miss out of the playoffs. It's not just losing their head coach. Kiffin is taking the entire offensive staff with him. It's comparable to leaving out Florida State in 2023. FSU was undefeated and conference champions. But they lost Jordan Travis late in the season, and while they still won the rest of their games, they were a completely different team and everyone could see it on the field. Here's what the committee said: ESPN: Undefeated Florida State left out of College Football Playoff I'm still resigned to Texas getting left out. But dropping Ole Miss in the final CFP rankings has some precedent.
  3. That makes sense, because apparently the church's official position on caffeinated soda was released in 2012. NPR: Can Mormons Drink Coca-Cola?
  4. To clarify, the mental gymnastics of the Mormon church does not require abstinence from all caffeine, only "hot" drinks like coffee and tea. An in-house lawyer for one of my clients is a devout Mormon and drinks about 6 Diet Cokes a day.
  5. Most did, I'm sure. But we went with our best couple friends, and the wife is an aggy grad (though one of the least aggy aggys I know). She said before the game something along the lines of "We always shit the bed at some point in the season, and we haven't yet, so tonight is probably that time." She knew.
  6. I see no issue with this. You go to a restaurant to detain and deport the kitchen staff, you might as well get some delicious food first. Also, For God sake, if we're kicking them out of our country, then yes, please save the recipes. I don't want Cleetus making my enchilada plate.
  7. Communications Director seems a good fit for him.
  8. He seems like a lame white guy who sucks at parties. So he’d fit in quite well at BYU.
  9. They probably still think Vince Young is overrated.
  10. If we don't make the playoff, he shares the blame for not having his team ready for Florida. But still, glad to see he's not just sitting on his ass and is out there making a case.
  11. I for one trust what a Juilliard-trained physician has to say about the health of our President.
  12. I think we can be in a position for some fucking. But -- and I think ctj touched on this in some other thread -- Sark and the staff need to hit the portal this offseason much better than we did last.
  13. "Sir, we've thoroughly searched the wreckage and surrounding waters and all we can find is fishing equipment." "KILL THEM ALL!!!!"
  14. Ain't no herp with this derp.
  15. Good take. I can get past the journey into the wilderness to find the Christmas tree scene. But the sledding scene felt a little too strained for a laugh. Much funnier and more quotable than European Vacation, and like you said, still great.
  16. I personally think Del Conte should ink a 10-year series with East Carolina.
  17. Has one football program been singularly responsible for another football program's demise like Texas has been for Nebraska?
  18. LSU reporter claims that Kiffin is hiring Sark to be his OC.
  19. I've made a variation of this a few times. It's easy, can cover two nights of dinner, and the family likes it. This site has other recipes for easy and tasty weeknight meals. https://www.saltandlavender.com/hamburger-stew/
  20. Too bad the Big XII couldn't have scheduled the game on Sunday.
