  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.

    Had a couple who got married 1NOV with the groom from GA and the bride from Bama.  If dude hits 33 yard FG, they win $1MM and meathead donates $250k to GA related charity.  If he misses, they donate $250k to Bama charity.

    Missed badly short from 33, but it was lined up.  So they move up about halfway to the goal and offer dude $500k if he makes it, with same charity tags.

    shanks it into the crowd.  LOL.

    No one gonna hit a kick with Herbie holding the ball tilted like that... might as well kick him in the knee.

    So if BYU and Alabama gets blown out, do we have any chance of getting in?

    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...

    But the NCAA isn't gonna do that. 

    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).

    It's possible he has some form of dementia going on.

    Pussy is undefeated, but even Bill in his prime would have punted this bitch to the curb long before it had came to this.

     

    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.

    ...We got fucked by the human polls because people are idiots.

    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.

    they wouldn't dare try

    they got away with it in '12 when we were the only ones pointing out the wall shenanigan

    they've been exposed now - the whole league now knows what they are about - and they would get flame-broiled for trying

    You say that like there's something wrong with flame-broiling...

    Cam rambles a lot on his show (to fill time, I believe), but he has solid takes and football knowledge.

    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.
