    Ok, cool.  Hook 'em.

    Hopefully you can find some other threads here about thinks you like.  Good luck!

    That would be very few threads since he hates pretty much everything. 

  2. I enjoyed that they tried to pass off two gay people as being in love with each other and somehow made the guy look even more gay in the process. The first one was good. The 2nd felt like it was going through the motions.

    The new transfer portal window is only from Jan 2-16. There is no more spring window and it’s the only time undergrads can enter the portal. We should be using our time and resources to secure the best talent in the portal instead of channeling our resources into a bowl game with no championship implications. If a transfer has to be swayed by the outcome of the Cheez-It bowl, we aren’t as solid as we think. 

    I'm going to post this again. aggy's bowl game practices helped them get KC Concepcion when he was debating which school to transfer to. He attended aggy's Las Vegas Bowl practices and watched Marcel Reed throw. He committed shortly after that. aggy isn't playing the playoff without him. So yeah, maybe we can do both.

    But would ticket prices be higher for those G5 teams, or for ND? Would the season ticket package be higher for a schedule that had ND instead of a G5?

    *To be clear, I recognize that the actual difference is small relative to the entire athletic budget, but I have seen essentially no blue blood or other big program take any step that doesn't attempt to squeeze very dime out of the system that it can. 

    I would imagine going forward, the SEC is going to drop the P4 rule. The Big 10 doesn't require it and Indiana is certainly lining up 3 cupcakes at home now. If the SEC does the same, it would make sense that we only schedule teams willing to come to DKR. That way you always have 7 home games versus 6 in years we would normally go to the away leg of a P4. 

  5. Is it though? We sold out the stadium for terrible G5 teams this season. What cash bonanza is the program getting from a Notre Dame series than playing Purdue? I don't think TV networks bump up your pay if you get them a sexy OOC matchup to broadcast. I'm imagine the city of Austin does better than Texas does when a big name matchup happens at DKR. Are we basing this on more expensive tickets for a Notre Dame game than someone else?

    The sport it transactional. Winning a bowl game isn’t going to affect recruiting, portal, or which coaches leave or get fired. 

    I'm pretty sure Concepcion attended aggy bowl game practices which helped him decide to join aggy when he got in the portal. So yeah extra practices can help with that and deciding who gets more playing time next year. Sark specifically addressed that in his media availability yesterday. 

    Edit: yep

    The ACC damages itself by having a 5 loss champion. That alone should have excluded Miami. I don’t care if ND, Texas, BYU, or Vandy got the spot, they all deserved it over any ACC team. 

    They had a 5 loss champion because their conference has too many teams and it was stupid 5 way tiebreaker that got Duke in there. SMU had a chance to get in easily but couldn't beat a shitty Cal team. Miami beat Notre Dame. That should matter and it did. Notre Dame can easily solve all of this by joining a conference so they too will have to be in a championship game with risk. The committee wasn't leaving out the ACC. Where they screwed up was having Notre Dame ranked ahead of Miami last week. It would've gave them easy cover to exclude Notre Dame regardless of the ACC championship or to swap them and piss off Miami if Virginia had won on Saturday.

    we have people on this site who legitametely believe Texas went 9-3 this year because they didn't play a spring game questioning the value of extra practices and more live reps against an upper tier power 4 opponent.

    The Venn Diagram for those who believe in those things would be interesting.

  9. Yeah the ACC is sitting over there saying, what the hell did I do? Is whiny Pete thinking the ACC colluded with the committee to get Miami in? I guess Notre Dame can try to get their special deal with the Big 10 who will tell them no. Or the SEC, same thing. Or the Big 12, well...no.
