  1. Yeah, if we aren’t doing the weekly check-ins there is some grumbling but not full-bore meltdowns. The final pool is justifiable and defensible— but the committee had to make some WTF individual movements week to week to get here.
  2. Tucson is like over a hundred miles from Phoenix man. Granted its got heat, but its a real different vibe than Phoenix as a big college city.
  3. He was only ever a WR coach and he struck out to get his own HC job in 2010, when Saban was still just a great coach and not the GOAT. He wasn’t one of Saban’s anointed assistants, just a journeyman assistant who had done some good work there and at NCST.
  4. Franklin continues to kill it, hiring VT’s former HC to be DC again. Really amazing stuff and IMO speaks to the coach and the institution that Pry wants to stay around. VT closed out with at top 25 class, btw.
  5. lol letting retired football coaches and writers do the selection is a terrible idea. Hot take: a bunch of nerds who don’t watch football. Give them the principles and the advanced metrics they are allowed to consider and then have them do a 1/done selection meeting. Far better than letting Mack and RC Slocum pick.
  6. Those playoffs work well because the NCAA regulates them and does enforce a bit of equity to keep the divisions afloat. In FCS, every conference with six or more gets an auto-bid (11) and the remaining 13 are at large. Ironically it is the money that makes it possible, the stakes aren’t as high for getting left out and the fans aren’t as insane. They also play fewer OOC games and have real conference champions. College football boards and talking heads would melt down with a similar format for FBS even though it would really be the way to do a PO that was best for the sport. There is a loud, ESPN driven contingent that strongly believes the game will be better when about 40 teams play in two leagues with players as perpetual free agents. Maybe so, but I will contend that it’s not a sport I recognize as college football.
  7. Took my girls, they liked it and I thought it was poop from a butt. One distracting thing is that the love interest for both the witches is clearly super gay and plays the role that way. To the point I was expecting it to be a plot point for him to end up with a guy. Obviously plenty of leading men in Hollywood have been gay and played straight heartthrobs successfully but it’s just super distracting in this movie because he very clearly does not like women.
  8. I think that you can’t tie NIL to actual playing football which is just another example of how incredibly dumb this game has gotten.
  9. It was actually fine and better, it was awesome to win the Cotton Bowl back when there wasn’t a Kirk Herbstreit to tell you it didn’t really matter.
  10. This was a bone thrown to ND by SEC/Big Ten to get them to join in. Hot tip, anything making college football shittier is coming from a mix of the SEC, Big Ten, and ESPN. Its also meaningless, did you not just watch the selection? The committee will just drop whoever they want to 13 with no explanation.
  11. Putting Miami over ND is completely justifiable, I think ND is a more complete team that could have made a deep run but they are using their own criteria. No issues with that, although they need to stop doing this weekly. It’s stupid and they end up with indefensible individual movements that in the aggregate are OK. The seeding is really stupid when you have three one loss teams, Bama, and Miami that can easily be shuffled with no controversy. Switch A&M with Ole Miss or Ole Miss with Oregon and swap Bama and Miami (who can complain about that) and you have zero first round rematches.
  12. Duke did this, the rules say “five highest ranked conference champions.” By beating VA for the ACC with five losses, that meant two G5 leagues got a bid.
