  1. Good versus Great is one of the issues we lost. Good teams win most of the games they're expected to win, and even win occasionally some they're expected to lose. Great teams win all the ones expected and most of the games when they're underdogs. We were barely "Good", let alone "Great". Too many conference mates in the tournament. Hell, it wound up with FIVE teams from the SEC, and that's already one more than most want to see. I hoped for two things that coulda woulda shoulda put us in - maybe only needed one, but with both, defnitely in. Those were 1) Bama gets blown out and drops out, and 2) Ole Miss gets FSU'ed for losing half their coaching staff. The first one partly fulfilled, but Bama Mulligan reared its ugly head, soooo... bring on the Weasels. Note to HC: maybe don't finish in 5th or 6th place in conference, next time.
  2. School gets paid, keeps expense reimbursement, splits the rest with SEC. Some (all?) coaches get incentive, maybe. Is there an extra payday for players? If so, do opt-outs get paid or nah?
  3. Dammit, I was looking forward to a BYU-ND bowl game.

  5. Nicely done. Thank you. I love being able to use arrow keys to step back and forth through the developing play.
  6. No one gonna hit a kick with Herbie holding the ball tilted like that... might as well kick him in the knee.
  7. I've assumed this would be happening. I am gruntled.
  8. BYU just needs to lose. Bama gets blown out, we have a shot. Both happen, we're in. The SEC may also have discussed with CFP committee that it would not object hugely if Ole Miss gets dumped because HC, OC and staff all gone... you know, so the kids wouldn't get embarrased (citing FSU precedent). Listen close - Fat Lady's warming up in her dressing room, ghastly scales zooming up and down. Get ready...
  9. He is. The picture is some other #14...
  10. Come on down, Uncle Peyton
  11. Wild Boys imo
  12. He meant "per player"... but you're right, that's still light.
  13. NCAA and CFP are different organizations. The problem is the direct relationship between CFP and ND, but it looks like the NCAA doesn't have a say in it - it's conferences and ND (not sure about other independents, if there still are any).
  14. Nah... adjust CFP guidelines to exclude Independents. Problem solved.
  15. PM Coach Beard

  17. ... particularly if he is carrying a tool, a musical instrument, or a piece of sports gear.
  18. I choose to believe that Bill is aware that Life Its Own Self is visiting upon him a Karma Rebalance of epic proportions, to make up for having Tom Brady create the myth of the indestructable Coach Belichick for him. He is not happy about it, but he understands the futility of fighting against it... and there are certain benefits attached to the process.
  19. We got fucked because our own conference coaches diddled the rankings, and because Bob Stoops is smarter than Mack - Bob ran up 7 or 8 TDs in every single game, while Mack let the opponents off the hook. We also got fucked because Mack's brilliant game plan put us in a 19-0 hole in Lubbock before we ever scored, including sticking with The Script and handing the ball on basically a draw, to our 250-lb running back standing stock-still seven yards deep in our end zone for a highly-predictable safety.
  20. You say that like there's something wrong with flame-broiling...
  21. It's Louisiana. One half of $17 million is $16 million, the other half is $1 million.
  22. Cam loses credibility by routinely appearing in outfits that seem to have been created for him by L'Oreal's even less discerning little sister.
  23. The best path for us is for committee members to recognize that Texas is the premier team for them to monetize more eyeballs.
  24. This is all anyone needs to know about Lane.
