  1. Also, I like it that the Mormons are coming to play in the mire. Big American Primeval vibes, back to the swashbuckling, gunslinging roots. Only in the USA baby.
  2. It’s the American Catholics that keep the Vatican afloat and coffers full and not the other way around.
  3. Literally any school can be independent if it chooses to be.
  4. BYU ain’t out of it by a longshot and having a literal prophet of the Almighty in the back pocket as a persuader carries significant heft so long as the coach believes it.
  5. Firing Franklin to get BYU corch is really funny. In the interim Franklin is dismantling PSU’s class. I admire what he’s doing. No bullshit, no whining. Left with dignity and went to work.
  6. No, see, you claimed that SEC won’t schedule the Big XII and that was laughable and stupid because the Big XII is all over current and future SEC slates. “Not scheduling Texas Tech” is a very different proposition. Why would the SEC top tier book a H2H involving a trip to Lubbock when they can line up marquee OOC opponents with big audiences and national interest anywhere they want? SLC and Tempe at least offer nice trips, Kansas offers a historical rivalry. What is Tech offering to an LSU or Georgia who can schedule teams like ND, Clemson, Michigan for their premiere OOC H2H series? And until a hot minute ago Tech wasn’t even a particularly GOOD Big XII team. Guess what, Cincinnati isn’t getting those games either.
  7. I don’t count coach podium chatter as an actual attempt to schedule. In any event, LSU currently has Utah and ASU on future schedules. “Won’t schedule Big XII” is a laughable point. 2026 currently has WVa, ASU, Utah, Kansas, Baylor on the SEC OOC slate.
  8. Hell of a thing to dismiss a team that played OSU closer than Texas did in the NC game as no one.
  9. What sort of gibberish is this? The SEC won’t schedule the Big XII or ACC? Off the top of my head SEC teams have played the following teams this year OOC: Baylor, ASU, Clemson, Miami, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, FSU, Syracuse, Kansas, Louisville. That’s in addition to multiple B1G and ND OOC games. And the Big XII and ACC got their cheeks clapped on the whole. What SEC games has Tech reached out to try and schedule?
  10. He went 7-5 at Tennessee, then got fired in an embarrassing way at USC. He’s since had two good seasons at FAU and four 10+ win seasons at Ole Miss. He isn’t yet smelling someone like Spurrier’s jock let alone actual GOAT candidates.
  11. The problem is not the playoff format (although I don’t like the concept at all). The problem is these mega-conferences which create scheduling imbalances inherently. It’s a problem colleges made for themselves. In a pre-2024 world: - The SEC West has sorted out Ole Miss, ‘Bama, and A&M with one team going to CCG and maybe one an outside shot at an at-large. - The PAC-12 is looking to send one of likely Oregon and USC. - The ACC’s best team in Miami is heading to a CCG and not at home due to scheduling weirdness. Or is just out and two teams that won divisions are in. - The Big XII has whittled down OU, Texas, Tech, and BYU to two or max three. But as I’ve said, the playoff was a solution to a problem that only existed in the hot takes of sports talking heads. And at this point we spend all our energy trying to fix the playoff at the expense of all the stuff that made CFB great like regional rivalries, fun OOC games, battles for conference bragging rights, mid-major interest and engagement, etc. Bass-ackwards.
  12. Never forget….Colonel Reb is cryin’ again.
  13. When they introduce him at LSU he needs to say something like “and I knew only the Lord could give me the wisdom and courage to make this decision. And in the still, cool darkness of the Oxford night, I knelt alone, to talk to the Lord. And the Lord said “Geaux Tigahs!” They will eat that up in BR.
  14. Yeah, hard to believe this was a school that nabbed Bielma a few cycles ago. Didn’t work out but stealing from Big Ten Wisky who had been to Rose Bowls and won conference championships was a power move.
  15. I non-ironically thjnk that Franklin to VT and Fitz to MSU if it happens will be the best of the cycle.
  16. This skrongly reminds me of our baseball hire after y’all grabbed Schloss.
  17. “Mentored” and “a part of” doing a lot of heavy lifting in that graphic. Load bearing even.
  18. Auburn really has made a dogs breakfast of its program which is funny cause they are so hateable.
  19. The Ivies collectively agreed in the 1940s, before FCS was a thing, not to participate in bowls or postseason play. They also never have offered athletic scholarships. The original justification was that the post-season conflicted with final exams and was helping turn college sports into something that conflicted with academic missions. Really was a turning point in college athletics overall and the Ivies went their own way. As late as the late 1930s they were still collectively playing big-time football at a high level but didn’t like how it was going.
  20. Updating: Yale did indeed knock out Youngstown in a thriller to give the Ivy League its first win in the FCS playoffs. Harvard got drilled by Nova (I mistyped in my first post, Lehigh is the bye team in that bracket). Yale should go down to Montana State. ACU licked Lamar soundly and now has a rematch with SFU, a team they beat once this season. Tarleton has a tough but human 7-5 North Dakota team. Highest ranked Texas school in the field— their one loss coming to ACU. Hoping to see them and ACU advance, two longtime DII rivals making noise at FCS.
  21. No, she is/was a student at Ole Miss, the other daughter goes to USC.
  22. Wasn’t the implication that Freeze was procuring call girls for both himself and minor football recruits?
  23. They’ve employed Houston Nutt, Tubbs, Coach O, Freeze, and Kiffin. Collectively enough grease to form one of those fatbergs you read about clogging the London or NYC sewer. Of course he can’t coach the CFP. Every sideline shot you have an ESPN talking head reading a Sexton script: amazing what he’s done, fantastic coach, he did this at poor Ole Miss imagine the great things in store at LSU, speculating what players will follow him, etc. Fuck that. Whatever narrative Golding sets, at least it will be about Ole Miss and not about the bright future in store for their rival.
