Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
This kind of shit from our fanbase wears me out. Sark took over a lost program and since we've been to 2 semis and should have been in the playoffs this year but for a committee that doesn't understand math or probability (outside of counting losses). There aren't 5 programs in the country that have had a better 3 year run and probably just OSU and UGA (and I fully expect one of them to win it again). I don't know if Sark will take the next step or not (it's a really hard step to take) but cry me a fucking river acting like it's been so god awful with "Sark running the show". Amazing how many people have forgotten what 14 years of garbage looked like.

Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
Same. I have elementary school kids and it's regularly a madhouse with neighborhood friends. Couldn't pay me to work from home during the summer with all that chaos.
-
Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
Agreed. And we are in same line of work. Juniors that don't regularly come in are falling behind their peers who do IMO.

Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
Maybe I'm now just an old but anyone that chooses WFH in this scenario isn't going to ever get promoted beyond that 120K. Which I'm sure is fine for those that would make the choice. Fair or not, I absolutely think electing to work from home is seen by senior mgmt as lack of commitment and/or ambition. If you combine that with someone turning down a raise, then yeah, that person isn't moving up in their role.

2026 Schedule Reveal
My wife went to HS in Knoxville and hasn't been back since as her parents moved back to Texas while she was in college, so we are going and taking the kids. She keeps up with a handful of friends that are big TN fans so should be fun.

Sherrone Moore's Michigan Meltdown - Staffers, Breakups, Extortion, Cover-Ups, Firings, Knives, Assaults, Breakdowns, Arrests
This. There are convenience hires of all races. See Pete Golding. No way Ole Miss hires him as HC in a normal coaching cycle.

Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
I swear someone posted this was going to happen like a week or 2 ago here or on twitter or somewhere and assumed some idiot making things up. Or like Crabtree I just dreamed it in my head.

Tell Me About Notre Dame
I don't see how ND, Miami, BYU, Bama, Texas. OU, Vandy etc. aren't comparable teams despite the fact that I agree with you the committee will claim that they weren't in order to justify ranking. At the end of the day, the committee reverted to head to head with OU-Bama and Texas-Vandy order and then with Miami and Notre Dame. But I think where they slotted ND/Miami/BYU within that grouping (which had to be Miami ahead of Notre Dame) was just the committee ignoring the rest of what was supposed to matter for comparable teams and doing what they wanted.

Tell Me About Notre Dame
I'll agree with you that the committee has done and will continue to whatever the fuck they want. Whether or not that has historically followed computers or "BCS proxy" I don't know and don't care. The below is what they were supposed to follow per their own guidelines. If they actually followed the below correctly, ND would have been behind not only Bama and Miami but also Texas, BYU and Vandy. PRINCIPLES The committee will select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering: Strength of schedule, Head-to-head competition, Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory), and, Other relevant factors such as unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance.

Tell Me About Notre Dame
Sorry, I must have missed the section in the 'playoff committee principals' where they look at "Massey Ratings" or a "simulated BCS" that takes into account the morons that vote in the worthless AP and Coaches polls.

Strictly by the numbers that are supposed to matter (SOS, SOR) Texas, BYU and Vandy all have better claims than ND and Miami.

Tell Me About Notre Dame
Where are the receipts for this slight Domer is throwing this massive tantrum about? What did they actually do? Assuming they didn't post the equivalent of "Fuck Notre Dame" on Twitter I'm not sure what the bitching is about. The ACC has an obligation to lobby for its actual conference teams to get in (you know, where the conference will benefit from revenue unlike a ND playoff slot). Lobbying for a conference team should have been expected by anyone with a brain. Only Notre Dame is tone deaf, self-absorbed and arrogant enough to not understand that. I've never been a true Notre Dame hater but this pathetic reaction to a just outcome the last 24 hours may have turned me into one. I'm actively rooting for Texas and every other relevant program to cancel the series and black ball them going forward. Fuck them.

Tell Me About Notre Dame
The latter 2 are head-to-head against meaningful NFL games as well. That is the reason Aggy got screwed with an 11AM kick. I fully expect ratings for both the later games to be embarrassing.

Tell Me About Notre Dame
That's fine. Let them. If money is equal, let them convince top players playing a bunch of mediocre programs with shitty ratings and only stepping up to real competition in the playoffs is a better opportunity than playing for Texas, Bama, UGA, Michigan, OSU etc. and being the focus of the CFB world multiple times per year. It wouldn't have an immediate impact, but multiple years of shit schedules like next season, if combined with no playoff success, and their 'brand' will continue to fade.
