  1. Well, that's a random ten year old video that just got bumped into a 2025 recruiting thread
  2. Jerryworld should be the site for the National Championship game, with it being more of a central location to the rest of the 48 states. I wonder why that isn't already a thing. I asked the AI about it. ------------ Jerryworld, or as it's officially known, AT&T Stadium, is a spectacular venue, but it's not used for the College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship game for a few key reasons: * **Bidding Process and Rotation:** The CFP National Championship game location is determined through a competitive bidding process, much like the Super Bowl. Cities and stadiums across the country put together proposals to host the game. The CFP then selects a site based on a variety of factors, including stadium quality, infrastructure, hotel availability, transportation, and the overall experience offered to fans and teams. The goal is to rotate the game among different regions and high-quality venues. * **Desire for Neutrality and Variety:** The CFP aims to provide a neutral site for the championship game, similar to the Super Bowl. This ensures that neither team has a home-field advantage. Rotating the game among different cities and regions also allows more fans across the country to potentially experience the event. AT&T Stadium would give the Dallas-Fort Worth area more championship games than the CFP would like in its rotation, as the stadium frequently hosts the Cotton Bowl. * **Other Major Events at AT&T Stadium:** Jerryworld already hosts numerous major events throughout the year, including Dallas Cowboys games, the Cotton Bowl Classic, major concerts, and other sporting events. Adding the CFP National Championship to its schedule could pose logistical challenges. * **Financial Considerations:** The financial arrangements and revenue-sharing agreements between the CFP and the host city/stadium are crucial factors in the selection process. The CFP likely seeks the most favorable financial terms that benefit the organization and its member conferences. * **Indoor vs. Outdoor Preference:** While not a hard and fast rule, the CFP has shown a slight preference toward playing the game outdoors if weather conditions permit. This is a nod to the traditional aspects of football, although the practical benefits of indoor stadiums are undeniable. * **Date Availability:** AT&T Stadium would have to have the date of the championship game available. Due to the large amount of events held there each year, scheduling is quite complex. **In summary,** while AT&T Stadium is certainly capable of hosting the CFP National Championship, the game's rotation policy, desire for geographic diversity, bidding process, and logistical considerations mean that it's just one of many potential venues considered each year. It did, however, host the first CFP National Championship in 2015.

  5. We're about to give the SKAT bus a flat tire
  6. Just to add a little perspective, the first two games were on ABC (free TV) and ESPN. The second two were on TNT/MAX ($).
  7. Well, that'll bring a guy down for sure
  8. "Locked on Big 12" are big time Texas haters.
  9. Their QB and o-line are better Beating UT would change their program trajectory Enough good ones to give it a listen
  10. No slowdown on fireworks after the huge fires ?
  11. I love to hear this. I wonder where UT stacks up in terms of boisterous fans.
  12. *first day of the week in a calendar
  13. Sunday is the first day of a calendar, so as of today, next week is our AZ ST game
  14. Now that nineliveslost has ruined my carefully calculated formulas...
  15. That got me wondering about all our combined losses. So, I put all four years of Sark losses into a mini spreadsheet. We haven't lost a game by more than a single-score since Sark & PK's first year on the 40 acres!
  16. I'm probably overlooking it but where's the "preview" button that lets me see what my post will look like before I submit it? Useful for when pasting some types of content, to see if it'll work or not.
  17. Loretta Swit's grandaughter?
  18. Speaking of RB's, it'll be cool if Bijan is at the game. Looks like the Falcons have down-time on Jan 1st.
  19. And for comparison to the guy who started as RB1
  20. ? https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4871076/quintrevion-wisner
  21. Guess that's why we were the only SEC team anyone on TV talked about today
