  1. I have never met an Irish Fan that claimed a title in 1970. A few smirk that ND cleared the path for what I believe was Nebraska's first natty. The loser of the bowl games usually mentions that before the mid-1970s they were considered commercial expositions that had little to do with extracurricular athletics or the national title. Now that the bowls are ingrained into college football's unique tradition, they should be separating them from the playoff, not pretending the two customs are compatible.
  2. But since that will never be a playoff game, it's not correct to compare the Muffler Bowl to the Cotton; instead treat the small bowls as an extra regular season game Thursday night on ESPNU.
  3. I get the feeling that she's cheating on me.
  4. Maybe but on any given day you can sing the tune of SWAYR. I saw Shaft was on last night. The original won a contemporaneous Oscar?
  5. Have two play-in games done entirely under the new overtime rule 🙄
  6. Just cut to the high card.
  7. Y'all don't have the right 'meme' for Cousin Oliver College
  8. Yes it's hard to say whom this hurts. Bama and Clemson already have all the talent they need and have added Jucos. So how often do either really need a breakout from Troy State? I think most of the transfers will be the 4*s who are still third on the depth chart their sophomore year. The HC wants them to wait and develop while their agent is looking around for a team that offers a starting job. So it may just hurt all programs equally.
  9. When I see Lancer on his horse I know it's time to stop.
  10. There's no rule saying coaches cannot be fired or hired at any time i.e. during a game. I think there should be a rule saying intra-game transfers should be between quarters. Probably at halftime if the player is going to transfer to the opponent's program.
  11. Is this the thread for The West Wing?
  12. He seemed kind of a free lancer. Did Burns rebut the legend that Hemingway got to Paris ahead of the US army and 'liberated' a bar?
  13. Nonetheless Barry Alvarez was the DC for our not to recent most recent national title. The wrong call here and and it would over 50 years since we won one.
  14. I believe Alvarez would have gotten at least a 5 digit bonus if they had beaten Stanford in the Rose Bowl. IIRC the Cardinal won a decisive 6 point victory.
  15. Some vague rumors say that AD Barry Alvarez was hard to work for.
  16. Just got her line in Archer, This isn't my first grand pricks [sic] ya know!
  17. My Dad didn't care when EH died and likes it well done. I always assumed Ahokan Farewell was some kind of traditional hymn from the 19th century. When I decided to learn in on the piano I was quite surprised to learn it is not that old and the composer is still alive. A Civil War by Ken Burns GOAT documentary?
  18. 80s Miami vs 10s Bama would be an interesting comparison. If the CFP existed in the 80s to grant UM a mulligan, they are surely in the playoff every year except Johnson's first year. Although they woulda lost 89.
  19. That was no Governor Wanders the Wilderness, but still really fun to watch. That was Jeff Morgan's real life wife. They showed how Negan became a killer. It doesn't explain how he forms a cult.
  20. The Justices kept referring to the athletes as "the workers."
  21. I didn't watch the entire oral argument, but I though the strongest one was the players' attorney listing all of the times the NCAA argued in Court that their sport would be destroyed. They lost each case but college sports is still very popular.
  22. wOSU's late game air balls balanced out UH's missed free throws nicely.
  23. That's why I dislike the BCS/ CFP in a nutshell; the Boise State of the year is always shut out. Their relatively easier schedule counterbalanced their lack of resources. I mentioned somewhere else that in the old days several of Saban's nattys would have been presumable Sugar Bowl victories over the #7 team. Then it would be on the pollsters to forgive his one loss vs the undefeated G5 program. Now of course the playoff system automatically gives him 1 mulligan but does not hold a spot for undefeated UCF. Interestingly, Schnellenberger's Cinderella season began with Miami getting blown out by UF.
  24. Michigan being on Eastern Time is perpetual stupidity. The summer sun is in your eyes @8:30pm
