I'd like to talk to you about our offensive line recruiting.

I have $200.00 on us covering at the Indian casino close to where I live. I'll be able take the wife out for a free steak dinner because of this game. Remember the Michigan game? Everyones' brains were telling them we would embarass Michigan, but many CFB bettors were afraid of the line for emotional reasons; playing in the Big House, defending national champs, etc. This is a replay of that scenrio. Michigan has a freshman QB, a new & jacked up o-line and a colossal mess at WR. We will have covered the line by halftime. People are using nonsense to take OU and the points....rivalry game, what has happened years ago, etc. Gordon Gekko said never to get emotional about stock because it clouds your judgment. The same goes for CFB betting.

Mack was stuck in that pattern. Our issues would be glaringly obvious to the rest of the world, but they were never obvious to Mack until AFTER we lost to OU. Then, and only then, would necessary changes be made.

My first Texas/ou game. I was drunk enough to anesthetize an elephant.

If you won't pay a QB 100K that could lead your team to the playoff, you need to get out of big boy college football. I wouldn't bame the kid if he was offered 100K and demanded 250K. I've seen coaches leave before the season was over because it was in their own financial best interest. I am fine with players doing the same.

There is an FSU alum who is an attorney, Doug Rohan, who is doing the podcast circuit. He is insisting that, to save the ACC, ESPN is going to go above & beyond their contract and throw in more money just for Clemson & FSU to stay put. I remember when there was talk of the SEC wanting to go to 9 conference games, but not doing it, because ESPN didn't want to pay more for that additional SEC inventory. Can someone explain to me how ESPN sees the same amount of ACC games being more valuable than additional SEC conference games (with an SEC that now includes Texas and Oklahoma).

I agree. The argument pro-FSU people are making is this, the less valuable propoerties (the schools that won't get an offer from the B1G or SEC if the ACC goes away) are better off taking the financial hit of unequal revenue sharing than the $10 million/year payout of a lesser conference. However, schools like Miami and NC (and likely the politically tethered NCSU) and maybe Virginia would also go to the B1G or SEC if the ACC melts down. Not only is there no reason for them to take a financial hit to preserve the conference, there is every reason for them to demand the same $ as Clemson and FSU. That means an even bigger haircut for the other ACC members (and this is amplified because there is barely anything to take from SMU). I think we are reaching the point where it makes more sense for the remaing schools to flip everyone the bird and to plan on splitting the buyout money of those who eject. I still have yet to hear a cogent argument on why ESPN wouldn't want to exercise their option to extend the ACC GOR, which further complicates things.

You seem to know alot about health and medicines and the body and stuff. Let me ask you something....my stepdaughter is almost 1, and she can barely finish a Four Loko without throwing up. Should I have her tested for ADHD?

This is the key to everything. ESPN will renew the deal and keep the GOR in place. If FSU & Clemson leave for the SEC, ESPN has to pay more for their home games. If they leave for the B1G, they lose this value content all together.

UM is really small. The alumni with the fat wallets went to UF.

What happens during the 9 days?

Normally I would agree, but I don't think that matters with this team.

Dude is transitioning. So brave.
