  1. Tortilla throwing was fun and cool. I was a kid at the 1995 Cotton Bowl and the tortillas and the Song Girls were deeply memorable. They should let them have a dedicated tortilla throw time. Every step to suck the uniqueness and fun from CFB is bad.
  2. Self-licking ice cream cone?
  3. I mean, we will see how long this lasts and what it means long term. I see a bubble that will explode. A lot of athletic departments would be distressed assets if state institutions weren’t ultimately on the hook here. Its like NIL, which was sold as “let the kids do car commercials but morphed into ‘pay the backup TE 300 dollars directly.” I think it’s all headed for a crash landing. But maybe Saudi PE is the answer, PE works everywhere!
  4. Yes. At this point, if you don’t have to fire your corch you should wait. Cignetti came up from the FCS ranks. But that worked because it was IU.
  5. Counterpoint: The revenue comes from people buying tickets and making donations and those costs are spiraling to where bringing up the next generation in the stands is cost-prohibitive to families on a reasonable budget.
  6. My post was more tongue in cheek about how casually college FB fans talk about eyewatering amounts of money that should lead to failed corches leaving generational wealth.
  7. 20 million here, 20 million there….pretry soon you’re talking real money.
  8. I’m beginning to think that contracts need to require HCs retain an HC and DC who call plays from the box. It seems that it’s nearly always lackluster when the HC wants to retain that. HCs need to do game management and strategy, the plays need to be called from upstairs. And an unwillingness to allow that flags that someone may not be HC ready.
  9. ““Not everybody’s the perfect person in the world. I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever.”— Tyrelle Pryor and RFK Jr, probably.
  10. Fuck the media. “No, you can’t write “excrement.” That would be unseemly.”
  11. SEC scheduling has been weird for a long time, trying to preserve historic rivalries and every-year non-con games. We’ve also never been to Lexington. LSU-UGA only played twice in the regular season since 2009. Last win in BR was 1994, last game was in 1995 in CS (a win for A&M) until the 2011 Cotton Bowl.
  12. What? A&M beat LSU five in a row in the 90s before the series went on hiatus till 2012.
  13. This summer the Florida system in general got a court decision allowing schools to reach beyond that fee and redirect other student-derived fees to athletics. Texas as a state is not better, this is just an indicator of where the whole thing has gone off the rails for most schools.
  14. Plot twist: The poop video was meant to be a hype video and the people getting shat on by DJT are his voters.
  15. Good investment for whom is the question? I’ve yet to see a direct, non-funny math explanation of college athletics helping make school more affordable or better in quality for the students of a given state. Which is ostensibly why state colleges exist.
  16. Yep. And in Florida, student fees go to athletics. It’s insane and higher ed/college sports needs to get a hard reset.
  17. Maybe they shouldn’t have hired the Hugh Freeze experience and gone full Righteous Gemstones. Auburn being bad and losing close, boring games is a great SEC experience.
  18. A lot of fan bases are going to be really disappointed and some mid coaches are going to get some crazy paydays. Wait till Auburn enters the chat.
  19. A few undefeated teams are a bit higher than likely to finish but that’s the nature of mid-season. - GT is good but has played an abysmal schedule. They have a weak back half, too. They’ve been playing on the edge but it’s possible they will be undefeated when Georgia comes to town, and likely get rolled. ACC champ game will be tough for them, too. They are maybe a top 15 level team. - BYU will likely fall to at least Tech or Cincy. Big XII is a knife fight. - I think A&M is a top ten team, not a top 5 team. I do think we will get one of LSU, Mizzou, and Texas and maybe can get a favorable draw in the CFP. LSU may be the best bet as we have done much better against non-mobile QBs and Vandy showed what a mobile QB and short passing game can do. - ND is a top ten team but will they get credit with the rest of their schedule? They are playing as good as anyone aside from Ohio, Indiana, and Bama. Also, why does anyone want CFB without SC-ND every year? Get it done, Trojans! - Vandy-Mizzou will be a great game for keeping CFP hopes alive. How crazy is that!
  20. European roadworthineas tests are no joke. I would estimate that over 50 percent of U.S. cars on the road would fail a German inspection. I don’t know if Musk is the dumb one or if he’s just using this as a grift. Regardless, geological time is hard. 450 million years is twice as long as the dinosaurs were around (including several mass extinction events). Humans evolved 300k years ago. It’s just not worth thinking about. We need to gameplan how to keep our planet habitable for the next 200.
  21. Disagree on the bonehead stuff, kind of. He’ll sometimes get greedy and tends to sail the ball on long passes. He doesn’t make a lot of bad dangerous throws.
  22. Green is a real talent and it’s a shame he’s on this team. Multiple times that he got out of pressure and made a play.
  23. Decently crisp game day called for chili. Chili blend is puya, ancho, arbol. Meat is cubed chuck and pork 2-1 ratio. No tomatoes. And a quesadilla toasted in cast iron with a bit of tallow.
