    God damn these people are so stupid. As if any president in history sat down and focused on the price of groceries as a top priority. I guess I give Trump a little credit for bringing it up during the campaign and convincing these people he would do something about it, but man what a sad state we are in with these MAGA dumbfucks in our country.

    At least they’re consistent. They were big mad at Joe Biden that he didn’t wave his magic president wand and lower the price of everything. Now same deal for Trump. I have some really bad news for them about the next guy (or gal).

    Auburn, Alabama is about 100 x more pleasant than Baton Rouge. Kiffin needs to go to Auburn and torture DeBoer. 

    You’re not saying much. There’s cities in Somalia that are more pleasant than Baton Rouge. 

  3. A couple things that have already been touched on but should be reiterated because they keep coming up:

    1) we should be rooting for chaos in the ACC to get Miami into the CCG. That way they either win and get the sole ACC bid, or collect a 3rd loss.

    2) we need Tech to win the Big 12 and get the autobid because they’re in anyway. The Big 12 taking two spots would be very bad for us.

    I was pretty bullish on Sri Kulkarni‘s chances in 2020 and was disappointed he didn’t fare better.  Maybe they don’t vote?

    I think older Indians in particular are surprisingly Trumpy.

    And lol at Nehls’ announcement. Make sure to throw in that completely pointless mention of Trump.

    I don't know the ins and outs of NIL, but it seems like we're not keeping up with the market value for OL. I assume they plan on shifting more of their focus to the portal. Either that or Flood is just a terrible recruiter.

    That’s the hope. Our team is set up to compete next year but we have to completely remake the OL. Campbell and Hutson are gone. Robertson is mediocre at best. And this may qualify as a hot take, but we could use a tackle to push Baker and Goosby. Those guys looked OK in comparison to the interior, but neither one is exactly Kelvin Banks out there.

    The in house options are fucking grim. Stroh is literally the only guy with significant experience and…yuck. Trotting Arch out in his contract year behind a starting IOL of Stroh, Cruz, and Kibble ain’t gonna cut it.

    I only have three wishes: 

    1. Ohio State win by at least 14 points. 

    2. Pittsburgh over Miami

    3. Ou lose

     

    The one nobody seems to be talking about is the Ohio St. game.  The Big 10 is perceived to be very, very  strong at the top, so if Ohio St. messes up and  even plays a very close game and wins by less than 4 points, that hurts our chances, I think.   The big 10 would lobby super hard to put Michigan above Texas.  

    Not concerned about Vandy or Alabama at all.  Even though 'bama probably loses to Georgia and remains right there with us in the final numbers, we would not play them until the 2nd week of the playoffs.  Since we have head to head against Vandy they are not a factor. 

     OU is 1-2 against top 10 teams, played us, Ole Miss, and Alabama.   

    I like us in the #12 position, playing at Tech.  That would be fun.   Big 12 against SEC.  

    After we beat Tech, we most likely have to go up against 'bama.  Wow! Tuesday night is going to be fun.  

     

     

     

     

     

    This is a good point on Michigan that I haven’t seen discussed before. If they lose but hang tough today they’ll still be in the beauty contest, which we absolutely don’t need. Committee might be tempted to balance out the numbers of SEC and B1G teams.
