  1. He apparently wants to be a coach and will work the coaching staff as well as being backup in case of injury.
  2. From the video when they got in the car,, yes, she was probably in worse shape than the driver.
  3. Its simple. The top 4 champs get the byes. Everyone else plays the first round. I haven't heard specific discussion on whether the top 4 champs are seeded 1 to 4 or if they simply get the bye. I suspect they are 1-4. The fourth, regardless of whether they are ranked #4 or #14, will still get the toughest 1st round winner in the 2nd round.
  4. Georgia had one less loss than Bama. They lost by the narrowest of margins. Had 4 common opponents and blasted two who Bama narrowly beat and did better against UK who both stomped and won solidly over Auburn who Alabama beat on a prayer. In the SEC CCG, Bama got a few breaks and just wanted it more that day. The rest of the season UGA was a better team. It wasn't a fluke they were ranked #1 before the Bama loss. Its not just about FSU.
  5. Yeah. I have zero sympathy for SMU, but its a piece of shit move by Sankey (and probably Pettiti).
  6. Exception if its done for humor
  7. How do we know Craig James didn't do it?
  8. One thing to feel good about is that we didn't have luck with injuries. Ewers missed 2 games. Brooks was lost for the season in game 10--we had good depth, but Brooks really is a difference maker. Sanders, Whittington and Worthy were banged up pretty much the whole 2nd half of the season. Mitchell may have been the only key offensive playmaker at full strength throughout (and maybe he was hampered and I missed it).
  9. It was much worse this year because of th4 transfer portal growing. You have MAC teams losing 6 starters.
  10. Looking at those plays again, if Whittington could have kept his balance, he walks in.
  11. Don't know how many of you noticed it, but the OU player getting a humanitarian award did a horns down while getting the award. He got roundly booed. OU being OU. Seemed like almost all the Texas fans left real quick after the incompletion. Its hard to get out of the Superdome.
  12. Yeah. I don't think any of the 4 teams this year would win an MNC any time in the last 20 years.
  13. I think that is what they were trying. The closest Texas player never looked. I think he was expecting a hop.
  14. I brought my wife. I thought her curse was over. She's been to 5 Sugar Bowls now and her team has lost every one. She went to 2 when she was in school at UGA, but skipped the one where they beat ND and won the MNC. She went with me to the one vs. the Hokies in '95 when we had a player even older than Stetson Bennet (Ron McKelvey/Weaver for you youngsters). And she was rooting for Georgia when we played them after the 2018 season. I guess one consolation. The women wearing Burnt Orange were just SO much better looking than the ones in purple.
  15. Yeah. We did better than I expected this season. We had our chance with 1st down from the 12. The other team just had a better plan and executed better.
  16. We had one guy covering tight and the other 10-15 yards back, often not even in front of him, but closer to the center of the field. So they could pass to the soft coverage and get a block from the other guy. When they sent 3 receivers wide, it would be 3 on 3 with only one playing tight.
  17. I really thought we should have gone for it on 4th and 4. Then we only needed a FG to win if we make it. We knew we were only going to have 10-15 seconds if we didn't get the onside kick. But we got lucky with the injury timeout.
  18. I remembered it being 20. Video here shows 15. Maybe I was thinking about the previous play.
  19. It was 20 seconds. We had plenty of time as long as we don't get tackled in bounds.
  20. I'm sure its been mentioned in these 120 pages, but our pass defense scheme was awful. I guess we were scared of the deep ball so we played soft on the corners. They had a 5 yard gimme every play. And somehow, even though we rarely blitzed, we had one on one all over the field. So 5 receivers vs. 7 defenders, but it was always one on one. Maybe our linebackers were covering the middle with no receivers in the area. On offense we could score at will, but bogus penalties killed our drives in the first quarter and helped theirs. Two bogus holding calls. Then I had never seen a block below the waist called on the defense before. We should have run more. But Ewers was just out of sync. Too much adrenaline. Still had a chance if he could have executed on one of those last 4 plays.
  21. Well if its against the bylaws he doesn't have the authority. Now, if you are saying ESPN had a legal right to rely on him, that is certainly possible.
  22. I don't have access to the Athletic, but someone was quoting it quoting the FSU lawsuit. Apparently ESPN had until 2021 to exercise its option to extend the ACC contract from 2027 to 2036. ESPN has not guaranteed an extension of the contract. Commissioner Phillips extended their option to 2025 without getting the required 2/3 vote of the membership. So its possible ESPN can't simply extend the current contract at the current rate to 2036. The contract would be out to market. That is one of their arguments that the ACC has not acted in the interests of its members. (note-I'm not getting into all the legal stuff about whether ESPN could rely on Phillips approving it-that's a different issue). Since there was no guarantee of a contract past 2027, that is another of FSU's arguments. There was not sufficient consideration for extending the GOR to 2036.
  23. Not only that, they can't take a photograph or copy verbatim from the agreement! Guess the lawyers sent people with good memories. I remember a few years back the Clemson or GT AD was complaining they didn't even know what the future payouts were going to be. Not a lawyer, but a CPA. Its downright bizarre. Never heard of anything like it where one party was not allowed a copy of a contract. That's the type of thing that would kill the ACC if it were a jury trial.
  24. Nobody will take them until this is resolved. But I'm pretty sure they've had discussions with university presidents who have said, "of course you will be invited---after you get out."
  25. I don't think there is any doubt that the 3 years exit fees, which will be north of $120, million are unenforceable. It isn't clear how much Texas and Oklahoma paid, if anything (it was a really odd deal), for the exit fee vs. GOR, but nobody else has paid more than Maryland's $31 million.
