  1. Has anyone seen a list of affected metro areas? I have YTTV, but want to go watch at a bar. In NYC.
  2. Louisiana takes exception at being left off your shit list. They work too hard at being a steaming pile of shit to be ignored by ‘stache.
  3. I think they probably fuck FSU in that scenario absent a true beat down of Louisville. Doofus chairman's first words about FSU were something like "they are a different team". That's why I continue to think it's really clear that we should be rooting for Bama, although very unlikely they win.
  4. I mean, they aren’t very talented because Gundy is a redneck shit head who ran off a bunch of his good players. Seems like that should factor in. But happy for the bulletin board material. This team seems to have some of that “and I took that personal” energy, no matter how small the slight.
  5. If we win on Saturday, it will be our third most successful season in about 30 years (acknowledging our 08 team got fucked, but it is what it is).
  6. I said Big 12 championship in the poll, but if you told me at the start of the season we’d be 11-1 heading to the Big 12 Championship with a legit shot at the playoff, I’d call that a success every fucking day of the week after the last 13 years.
  7. It’s been explained a million times, but why the hell not. Texas, Michigan, Alabama, Oregon and Louisville win. Michigan is locked. The committee thinks Alabama and Georgia are 2 of the best 4 (taking into account Georgia’s incredible 3 year run, as you’ve pointed out), so they want to find a way to put in both. They can’t get over putting Bama over Texas given head to head. So they justify Texas jumping Oregon by our win over Alabama looking that much better by virtue of Alabama beating Georgia. Michigan, Texas, Alabama and Georgia go in, Oregon gets fucked. It’s unlikely (and Georgia going in would be unprecedented (albeit a small sample size)), but it’s not 0%. The reality is that the committee can do whatever the fuck they want and find justification for it.
  8. It’s actually making me feel better that immamac is being so definitive. He’s usually wrong about almost everything football related.
  9. Yeah, I’d prefer not to turn down 10-20 snaps of pretty good safety play after what we’ve seen this year.
  10. Since we had our first kid earlier this year, my folks have been trying to find a studio in an elevator building with reasonable access to the West Village/surrounding area for $500K or so to replace their hotel visits. Pretty fucking tough sledding so far.
  11. So spend $10 million or so on buy outs just so you can find another coach that will in all likelihood get you roughly the same results, so that you can do this entire song and dance again in 5 years. College football at its finest.
  12. You are experiencing a bad case of Aggy-itis. Chip’s gone 8-4, 9-4 and 7-5 in the last 3 years, which is like, exactly what you should expect as a UCLA fan? You want to waste money on a bunch of buy outs and fly a banner so you can go find another coach to build you up to an 8 win season?
  13. Elite recruits were flipping/committing to Charlie Strong (I think the most comparable recent coach to Napier) even when it was abundantly clear that Strong was a complete disaster. Sometimes teenagers don't make logical decisions.
  14. Jeez, seems like you need a stiff drink. Go ahead, It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.
  15. Billy Napier is a Charlie Strong-level disaster of a head coach, so I include Florida in the Arkansas territory assuming they retain him. Losing to Billy Napier should be a for cause fireable event for any coach. I don't think they'll go 0-4 against LSU, Missouri, ND and Texas, and I don't think they'll go 4-0 against the teams you mention. But 8-4 should be very manageable absent a complete roster implosion or total failure of coaching. Both of which could of course happen, since it's A&M we're talking about.
  16. I mean, they really should go 8-4 at worst next year. Their schedule is super favorable. No Alabama, Georgia or Ole Miss, and their four toughest games (ND, LSU, Texas and Missouri) are all at home. ND and LSU are relatively down, and although we should be better than A&M on paper, it's worth acknowledging that we have to replace a fuck ton of talent on both sides of the ball next year. If they can't get to 8 wins next year, it's a really bad sign for them.
  17. Maybe, but it at least puts us in play. If Georgia wins, that spot is 100% taken and we almost certainly lose out to Oregon. Sadly, I don’t think we’ll find out because I suspect Georgia will win and cover.
  18. You are wrong, as has been explained many times. Bama beating Georgia absolutely helps us, although by no means guarantees we get in. It strengthens our win compared to Oregon’s win over Washington (whereas if Bama loses, Oregon can claim both a better win and a better loss compared to us). If Bama, Texas, Oregon and FSU all win, I’m betting Texas gets in. Whether that’s over Oregon or Bama, I’m not sure. If Georgia, FSU and Oregon win, we are toast.
