    Have you ever been to Jacksonville? Outside of shitty bbq, there is nothing particularly badย about it. Great weather, and golf. Above average beaches.ย 

    yes, I've been, it's a hellhole

    The Jags are very attractive. They are currently sitting with the #1 overall pick (Trevor Lawrence), and 10 additional picks. They will also have $100 million is cap space. That money goes a long way with a QB on a rookie deal. IMHO, they are the #1 threat to Texas for UM right now.

    counterpoint, have you ever been to Jacksonville?

    That 2014 TCU team was salty, and may have the best claim for a screw job. Dropping from 3 to 5 after a 55-3 demolishing of a conference opponent, in favor of brand name tOSU, is pretty egregious.
    They went on to demolish Ole Miss (who beat Bama that year) 42-3 in the Peach Bowl,ย and it wasnโ€™t that close.ย 
    They couldโ€™ve played with any of the 4-team invitational teams that year. Not sure who wouldโ€™ve won, but it wouldโ€™ve been fun to watch.ย 

    That's probably the best example. Baylor that year had a claim too. Penn State in 2016 won the Big Ten and beat Ohio State head-to-head. Maybe UCF in 2017 though I'm not really that sympathetic to G5 teams. I don't think it's a big deal that Ohio State's 2-loss 2017 team or one-loss 2018 team didn't make it, but both of those teams just underlined to me that we needed at least six and probably eight teams participating.ย

    Look, Iโ€™m no FCB fan but your failure to actually read what he is reporting is hilarious. Heโ€™s not suggesting he just now began the process of evaluating the NFL. You just invented that in your head and flipped out. The reality is, part of the reason we have to wait on our coaching candidates is the real chance the NFL hires multiple coaches we are looking at.ย 

    Don't be facile. The implication is that Urban calling Jimmy Johnson of all people is portentous. It's not, if it even happened.ย

  5. we're more likely to hire Chip Kelly than Brian Kelly, for Christ's sake

    and again, firing Herman to hire Sarkisian is pointless. we already have a coach who can go 8-5 and win Alamo Bowls.

    when you arenโ€™t the best team in your conference you arenโ€™t the best team in the country. No sympathy. Cincy and coastal have a bigger gripe.ย 

    the only legit gripe anyone has-- and I would still sneer at A&M if this were the case, because it's fucking A&M, but it's not the case anyway-- was if five legit programs did everything they were supposed to do and that included big-time wins and one had to be left out.

    A&M lost to Alabama by 28 points. Their best win was a narrow home win over an unimpressive Florida team that lost to a terrible LSU team. You can make a case that A&M deserved a playoff bid, but it's impossible to make a case that their omission was noteworthy, let alone some kind of travesty. This is what happens to teams that don't take care of business, every year, when it comes to picking a playoff field.ย 

    Better programs with better resumes than A&M this year have been left out.ย

    Rose Bowl might be one of the best but imagine this year, you'd fly out to Pasadena, sit in your hotel room and only that and practice, play in an empty stadium, and then fly back. ย No thanks.

    it's a real shame things didn't shake out so Indiana could go to the Rose Bowl this year

    This is true, IF, they win the Orange Bowl. If.ย 

    No, no. See if they lose, it will be because their players were "TOO HEARTBROKE OVER GETTIN' SCREWED BY THE PLAYOFF COMMITTEE TO CARE ABOUT SOME DUMB EXABITCHIN GAME". They's s'posed to be SEC now, they'll have that standard SEC bowl loss excuse down pat.

  9. this is the best possible outcome for A&M, since their fans are universally about "woulda, coulda, shoulda"

    if Notre Dame, Clemson, or Ohio State win the whole thing, they can say "WE WOULDA SMOKED THEM FAGGETS! EVERONE KNOWS IT, SEC SEC SEC"

    if Alabama wins, it will be "THEY DIDN'T WANT NO PART OF A REMATCH, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT A GRATE TEAM TWICE IN ONE YEAR"

    Especially if you just run the ball up the middle.ย 

    Well, if they lay down for it, there's not much you can do, so I agree with that.

    The intent is usually pretty clear. Paterno letting his backup QB throw deep and claiming it was an audible against Rutgers in 1995 was transparent as fuck. Stoops going for style points in 2008 was obvious. Hell, Mack did it to Houston one year. I swear the year we beat them 48-0, we had the ball inside their ten and were throwing into the end zone with less than 30 seconds to go.ย 

    I didn't think OU ran it up against A&M in 2003.ย 

  12. Of all the ways I thought that game might go, "Trey Sermon runs for a school record 300+ yards and Ohio State grinds out a 22-10 win" was not in the top 20

    good thing one of their mercenary transfers had a good game since Justin Fields looks like Marty McFly trying to play guitar as he's being erased in Back To The Future

    He not only has to get rid of the bloat

    he's been here three years and we're still talking about the problems he has to overcome

    at some point Del Conte is responsible for the existence of even the problems he inheritedย ย and hasn't fixed-- I'm not saying we're there yet necessarily, but the fact that we still haveย a bloated athletic department foots with my impression of Del Conte as being a lot more talk than action

    Sadly, I just don't see it. Tennessee is worthless this year.

    My realistic hope is that, after aggy wins and believes they have a shot, they then watch Clemson beat nd on a last second field goal and realize they're not headed for the playoffs bc the only good team they played this season handed them an epic beatdown.

    Also feel like mentally A&M knows they're playing with house money. They don't really have anything at stake, they'll play loose. If they were already fourth in the rankings, if they were playing to protect something as opposed to just hoping it will work out, they might feel the pressure.ย 

    They should win easily, around 30-17, not as close as the score looks.ย

    Following up on my well-liked Archie Bell and the Drells post, I did not know Archie's brother was USC RB and #1 NFL pick Ricky Bell.

    and Ricky Bell went on to form New Jack R&B supergroup Bell Biv Devoe
