I want to watch it to reconnect with that time because it was so special and so much fun to experience. Then I balance that with the feeling that we are so far from that moment now and have no hope of even sniffing the NFC Championship.
It was a great run. I doubt I’ll watch it until the Spring if then. If it was one show yea I would wedge it in. But listening to Jerry tell the cameras how great he is for however many episodes doesn’t sound appealing at the end of August.-

We have a weak ass hoa covenant, but this house is being built next door. No forward facing garages. Minimum sq footage. Both of those are being breached when I saw the concrete poured today. They signed the hoa docs when they bought the property so they know.
My question is what is the going rate on a possible lean letter to correct the construction? Never done this before.

They are going to suck so bad this year. Isn’t it auburn that has a coach calling the play on 1st down, another on 2nd and another on 3rd? Pretty sure I heard or read that.

Thread should be renamed: Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: Dave Campo 2.0
I remembered when they hired him, and my first thought was who? -

The Cowboys defense was bad last year and will be worse this year on top of it now being coordinated by an idiot. They aren't going to stop anyone. They are a Dak injury away from having to play an absolutely awful qb and they don't have an every down running back. There's no reason to be optimistic.
Just kidding. I wouldnt wish that on Arch.

Anyone familiar with Columbus know of good bars to watch the rest of the CFB slate after we emasculate the whole state of Ohio? Looks to be plenty of sports bars, but I'd prefer not to be surrounded by midwestern townies.
Man, that sounds like a questionable plan. Going to a bar in Columbus AFTER they have been drinking for 4-6 hours would not be on my todo list. But good luck if yall do.

Got my vasectomy from Dr Chopp in '05.
Guy named dr Payne did mine actually. No pain so all good. -
Headed to Sonora Texas in a few weeks for a dove hunt, we went out a shot some skeet for a few hours this afternoon to warm up. So fired up for the season. Driving down with the lawyer for Hunter Biden, you lawyer guys probably know him. Should be some interesting convo for what he can and can’t say. I’m guessing more can’t. But much wine and whiskey will be consumed, and hopefully we will get on some birds.

Got dam. Do people working in sports media no longer remember Barry Sanders? Or is she just an idiot?

SpoilerWe asked Grok to rank the top 25 teams in college football for 2025
By Adam Spencer
Published: Aug 15, 2025 · 10:00 AM EDT
The 2025 college football season is just around the corner. The preseason AP Poll and Coaches Poll are both out, and Texas is the No. 1 team in the nation in both.
But what does Grok, X’s AI assistant, think of the college football landscape entering 2025? We asked it to rank its top 25 programs for the upcoming campaign, and it included 10 SEC football squads.
Check out Grok’s top 25 below, along with explanations for why it picked each school:
Top 25 College Football Rankings for 2025 Season
1. Texas Longhorns
- Why: Arch Manning steps in as QB, backed by elite talent across the roster. A strong offensive line, deep running back group (CJ Baxter, Quintrevion Wisner), and defensive stars like Colin Simmons make Texas a national title favorite. Their Week 1 clash at Ohio State will set the tone.
- Why: Returning QB Drew Allar, star RBs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen, and a top-tier defense under new coordinator Jim Knowles give Penn State a legitimate shot at a Big Ten title. Their high ranking reflects roster continuity and a favorable schedule.
- Why: Despite losing 14 players to the NFL Draft, Ohio State’s talent pool remains deep. QB Julian Sayin and WR Jeremiah Smith headline an explosive offense, though new coordinators and defensive depth concerns drop them slightly. The Texas game is critical.
- Why: Kirby Smart’s squad reloads with QB Gunner Stockton and transfers like Noah Thomas. Defensive talent (Christen Miller, CJ Allen) keeps them elite, but QB uncertainty and a tough SEC schedule place them just outside the top three.
- Why: Cade Klubnik’s development and a veteran roster make Clemson the ACC favorite. A strong defense led by TJ Parker and Peter Woods, plus a manageable schedule, positions them for a playoff run.
- Why: Despite QB turnover, RB Jeremiyah Love and a stout offensive line keep Notre Dame competitive. A tough opener at Miami and a rugged schedule temper expectations, but Marcus Freeman’s squad is playoff-caliber.
- Why: Kalen DeBoer’s second year brings stability, with Ty Simpson at QB and a talented roster. Alabama’s recruiting prowess ensures they remain SEC contenders, though quarterback questions linger.
- Why: Garrett Nussmeier’s experience at QB, paired with a top transfer class (Nic Anderson, Barion Brown), makes LSU’s offense potent. Defensive improvements are key to a deep playoff push.
- Why: Dante Moore takes over at QB for a team with Big Ten title aspirations. A strong offensive line and playmakers like Evan Stewart keep Oregon dangerous, but a humbling 2024 playoff loss raises questions.
- Why: Sherrone Moore navigates a post-championship rebuild with QB Bryce Underwood as a potential game-changer. A tough Big Ten slate and defensive losses drop them slightly, but talent keeps them in the top 10.
- Why: Kenny Dillingham’s turnaround continues with QB Sam Leavitt and WR Jordyn Tyson. Their best preseason ranking since 1998 reflects momentum, but replacing RB Cam Skattebo is a challenge.
- Why: Bret Bielema’s squad returns 16 starters, including QB Luke Altmyer. Their highest preseason ranking since 1990 signals potential for a 10-win season and a playoff push.
- Why: Transfer QB Carson Beck brings experience, but Mario Cristobal needs a breakthrough. A tough opener vs. Notre Dame and an inconsistent track record keep them outside the top 10.
- Why: A strong 2024 finish and returning talent make South Carolina a dark horse. Their defense is a strength, but offensive consistency is key in the SEC.
- Why: Billy Napier’s squad returns key pieces and faces a manageable schedule. A breakout season is possible, but they must prove they can compete with SEC elites.
- Why: SMU’s move to the ACC and a talented roster keep them ranked. Their offense is dynamic, but defensive depth in a new conference is a concern.
- Why: A veteran team with a strong rushing attack and manageable Big 12 schedule. They’re a playoff contender but face stiff competition in conference play.
- Why: Mike Elko’s team has talent but faces a brutal SEC schedule. Their ranking reflects potential, but consistency is needed.
- Why: Coming off a strong 2024, Indiana returns key players and has momentum. A tough Big Ten schedule could limit their ceiling, but they’re a team to watch.
- Why: Lane Kiffin’s squad has talent but faces questions after losing key players. Their ranking reflects potential but acknowledges a step back from 2024.
- Why: A strong Big 12 contender with returning starters, but a tough opener vs. Kansas State could set the tone. Their ceiling is limited by depth.
- Why: Tennessee’s offense is explosive, but defensive losses and a tough SEC schedule drop them. They remain competitive but need to prove consistency.
- Why: Brent Venables’ team has talent but faces a gauntlet in the SEC. Their ranking reflects a solid roster but a challenging path.
- Why: A high-powered offense and improving defense make Texas Tech a Big 12 sleeper. Their ranking reflects potential for an upset-filled season.
- Why: A Group of 5 powerhouse with a dynamic offense. They’re a lock for a playoff bid if they dominate the Mountain West.
Appreciate the copy pasta. That website is a popup ad machine as bad as those recipe websites. Refuse to go there any longer. -
Bill Connelly just dropped his full ranking of all 767 college football teams (DI, DII, DIII, NAIA)
Texas is 5th, behind OSU, Bama, Georgia, and PSU.
That tOSU (-147) vs Maine maritime line is wild. Sounds like some trips to the emergency room would happen. -

Is there any fanbase in the country that wouldn't trade these penalties for a national championship.
I certainly know the aggies don’t cheat steal or lie, so there’s at least one. -
This the same organization that Texas believes they have to follow the letter of the law….its laughable we continue to do so.
