    Went to the Sugar Bowl against VaTech.  The upper levels there aren’t terrible like modern NFL stadiums.  We had the shittiest seats possible and it was fine.

    One thing to know is those 600 level sections that are on the sides start at row 7. The 500 level has rows 1 thru 6. So if you are in row 8 in section 615 you are actually in the 2nd row of that section. The lower rows in the side 600’s really are not bad at all.

    I am in 100% violent agreement here. Especially at the HS level. HS bands now bring out fucking set pieces and do some big operatic display that is nearly 2/3 as long as the fucking game. Nearly every game the referees should throw a flag for delay of game as the band(s) go over as it takes them forever to get all of their shit off the field.

    Why college bands can just march on to the field and GTFO yet HS bands have to make it some giant Broadway fucking production is beyond me. Best part of home games at House Park is I can walk to the Tavern during halftime and grab a beer because I know that I will have plenty of time to do so.

     

    Nothing like an 8 minute xylophone ode to Andrew Lloyd Webber.

  3. The fees are absurd now. I think the ticket resellers are making up for covid.

    I looked up how much I paid last minute for 3 tickets to the Georgia Sugar Bowl and it was $31 a piece, $7.95 in fees for $100.95 total. And they were actually decent seats. 2010 Bama game I got 1 ticket at face. 2005 USC I got 1 ticket outside the stadium for $850. My seat was I think the second to last row in the end zone.

    Texags is still handling this well a day later.

    Except that there is a head to head situation that had to be taken into account and an injury that materially changed the strength of a team to be taken into account. Some people don’t like context.

    Sark was able to do the job as Alabama OC and Texas HC for a bit. I suspect Choate can manage Texas LB Coach and Nevada HC for a month.

    But we'll see. I will be pretty annoyed if we just let coaches leave right before our biggest and most important games. I mean glad you got this job and all but you probably should stay and finish the season.

    Would think that staying and winning a NC would help with his cred on the recruiting trail.

    For the Sugar Bowl vs. UGA the walk to the stadium was an absolute blast. Jazz bands marching throngs of fans from Bourbon to the game. Zero safety concerns.

    We were walking and talking to this guy from Europe who was with Georgia fans he met at his hostel. They were all singing some kind of Georgia songs. Europe guy asks me why he hasn’t heard anybody singing Texas songs. I told him he will be hearing them after the game.

    The Georgia fans beforehand were incredibly cocky and thinking it was going to be a cakewalk.

    Well Phillips shouldn't have vetoed the 12 team playoff!  We would have had one if Phillips, Warren and Kliavcoff didn't stop the expansion for a year.

    The guidelines say nothing about being an undefeated Power 5 conference champion. If you have a valid argument you don't have to throw in something that is false to make your argument look valid. The guidelines are against them.

    • The selection committee will select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:
      • Conference championships won,
      • 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.

    So who gets the 4th spot in your scenario? ( healthy FSU)

    Since head-to-head is part of the guidelines, it would have to be Texas. There would have to be extraordinary evidence that Bama had improved enough and Texas hadn't since that game, but there isn't. Beating Georgia could just tell us more about Georgia than we were able to ascertain from their schedule.

    You can only beat who you play. FSU had LSU, Florida, and Clemson on their regular season schedule. Any other year, that's a big schedule.

    Alabama scheduled one good OoC game and lost. The entire SEC's biggest OoC win was against [checks notes] Louisville.

    What else was FSU supposed to do here?

    There are specific guidelines for choosing the 4 teams. Being a materially different team because of a key injury is part of those guidelines. Yeah it sucks, but that is just part of it. If Travis was their QB right now, they would be in.

    If Georgia had won we'd be 4th, I said all along the only thing that mattered was us winning and how they felt about FSU and that we would go in ahead of an undefeated FSU

    I don't think so. It would have been easy to leave Texas out and just go with the undefeated FSU. With Bama winning they felt they had to put the SEC champ in and if they put Bama in they had to put us ahead of them.
