“If you need a QB real bad, we’ve got a real bad QB” edit: context— with regard to aggy/FSU offer

Would be very amusing should Bama put all its eggs in the Tulane basket only to learn too late that Gator found a sugar daddy willing to outbid the gumps.

That's nice, but really our former conference-mates that spent so much energy hating us can jump in a lake. If they want to play us, they can get in line like every other tier 2 school. I like the idea of a marquee H/H. I would be in favor of having two models for the other two non-con games: HH/H for tier-two opponents and pure H for the "filler" game. That would give us 4 conference home games, 2 (occasionally 3) non-con home games, the RRS, 4 conference road games, and (usually) 1 non-con road game (coordinating to ensure our marquee road game doesn't happen in a tier 2 travel year). Schools may need a little cash from us for the non-marquee agreements, but our home games generate enough revenue that both schools can come out ahead by playing them more at DKR. I would be in favor of giving scheduling priority to schools that increase recruiting exposure and are travel-friendly (i.e., no return away games in places like Manhattan, KS). Even the "filler" games need to be someone worth watching, even if the game isn't in too great of doubt. No App State, haha.

As a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with experience covering P5 athletes, I’m afraid even my professional opinions on this matter are officially CR material.

They finished with equal or better conference records than teams in both divisions: middle tier. AKA tied for last place.

It’s the four most challenging years.

If, as a Texas football player, you could imagine (let alone execute) a transfer to OU, you need out of the locker room post haste. It’s like a deep-sea creature dreaming about a lava flow.

I don't know you! That's my purse! Edit sorry my link doesn't play.

For many 'Horns alumni, the time on the forty represents the 4 most challenging years of their academic career. With Sooners, many say the exact same thing about their time in 3rd grade.

This right here. 2-7-7 means you will have a (presumably rotating) intermediate frequency opponent. 3-6-6 is clean, but 2-7-7 would work if the league were at 17 teams.

I don't know about you guys, but conference championships matter to me. Effectively throwing a CCG to improve odds in the NCG would make me ragey.

This isn’t tricky. He’s talking aggy games.

Of course he needs to win something. It’s put up or shut up season, and he said as much in the interview with his remarks that the team looks like his team and is on track. No blaming the past. Agree the repeated thanks to Saban and effusive praise of the man are markers of gratitude and completely non-narcissistic. Wife has his balls in her purse. Probably better that way. He was bad at adulting when he managed his personal life. Guy has made his living by dint of effort. Believes in adapting. Has worked under Pete Carroll and Saban. Positives. Of course the interview was a recruiting pitch. That doesn’t make it inauthentic. In-game adjustments, let’s see some this year.

If Petrino is an ambitious and immoral tactician, better equipped at this stage in his career to bully midgets than to slay giants, it is just possible he has a coup already schemed up. That would be a real shame.

I don't know how much recruiting-rivalry calculus coaches do, and I don't know how accurately I could do it regarding future hypotheticals either. If you are marking FSU as less of a recruiting threat to your school with FSU in the B1G, to what degree is that offset by tOSU and Michigan (among others) becoming greater threats with a local opponent? The strategy might involve SEC plucking just enough choice fruit to make the leftovers less valuable to the B1G: take Clemson and FSU, let B1G go after GT and UM. Atlanta is still going to be SEC country, irrespective of whether the local engineering school affiliates with the snowbrat crowd, and Miami would be in, shall we say, a somewhat geographically incongruous conference alignment.

What these responses are saying. Look, mailbox, just stop talking and do yourself a favor. Let this horrible side-track end. Those of us who have been following online recruiting info since the 90s have a hard time reading your stuff with a straight face. When you have no idea what you’re talking about, and especially when you’ve been shown as such, just stop posting for a while. please and thank you mo

So diselenides (as opposed to sulfides-- chalcopyrite) of copper, for example, are not sometimes (copper) pyrites?

Copper pyrite would like a word with you. (As long as we're being technical and straying briefly away from important topics like Futureman and 80s hype videos)

It is literally true that A&M doesn't stand for anything

We will be a top team when and only when we can reliably pressure and contain from the edge. I’m hopeful but unconvinced the missing pieces to the puzzle are on campus.
