Big gamble on 4th paid off, wow. Guts

At least we didn't have to watch them do it in a semifinal. Positive thinking for '22!

Just saw this on FB, posted in an SEC group. aggy/OU was triggered. 😄 topical, since it's Utah

Ehlinger/Buechele were the starters for the duration of TH. Rising wouldn't have played.

Cool to see Rising play. He was on the Utah team we beat in the Alamo Bowl. I forgot he was in the same class as Casey. He wasn't beating out Sam but maybe he would have started for us this year, had he stayed.

College Football Is Stale and Boring
There's been a change, and it's for the worse. HS ball was/is fun because you wanted to beat your rivals and win your district. If you made a deep run in the playoffs it was exciting, but not the focus. (Understandably, this was different for some schools that expected to win all the time). College ball used to be like that. It was an amateur sport for young men and the focus was on beating your rivals and winning your conference. And it was fun. The bowls were fun. Now it seems like there's a hyperfocus on national rankings and getting into the CFP - and the BCS selections before that. And if that didn't suck enough, you can hardly call college football an amateur sport, or simple good fun.

And being in AZ, it should probably start 10-15 minutes late to fit in with the local culture

Orange Bowl CFP semifinal Georgia vs Michigan
I think the roster sizes are a big concern with the union and the vets. They don't want the pie cut into smaller pieces.

Orange Bowl CFP semifinal Georgia vs Michigan
Didn't they make the rosters smaller because teams like Bear Bryant's would have 200 players?

Orange Bowl CFP semifinal Georgia vs Michigan
Because you want to see 4 more games just like this one?

Orange Bowl CFP semifinal Georgia vs Michigan
If this was BCS, Georgia would have been #2 and everyone knows it. But #3 Michigan would have done a hardcore media campaign and shouted their butthurt from the rooftops and we'd all enjoy the scandal. The CFP shuts up those #3 and occasional #4 teams that would have had a claim on that BCS 2-seed, and everyone after that is a 1-loss with a weak SoS or a 2-loss also-ran without a serious claim. I kind of miss those BCS scandals and arguments.

If we aren't, we're being naive.

Orange Bowl CFP semifinal Georgia vs Michigan
I don't know where you've been, but this has been a way of life for the SEC for a long time. Money and PEDs. The only thing aggy did was bring that nonsense to Texas, which had been pretty well under control and self-regulating since the SMU days. Now with NIL we can get back in the game and do it legally. SEC's memory lane

100% Remember this next time Texas does a coaching search, and tell all your friends. Please

Orange Bowl CFP semifinal Georgia vs Michigan
The BCS would usually have some interesting bowl matchups outside of the top 2. The CFP has done a poor job of that.

Cotton Bowl CFP Semi Bama vs Cincy
Only slightly better than Cincy's QB, who hasn't had the benefit of protection, open receivers, or a robust run game.
-
Cotton Bowl CFP Semi Bama vs Cincy
Young is 13 of 22 for 128 with a pick.

I dated a girl that went to LSU for a while. God was definitely good to that place. If you know, you know.

Cotton Bowl CFP Semi Bama vs Cincy
Works in NCAA BB because the entire tourney is an event and there's nothing else like it this side of the FIFA World Cup. If NCAA FB goes to that model, maybe. Otherwise, no. No one is watching those games.

Cotton Bowl CFP Semi Bama vs Cincy
I got a good chuckle. Depends on who made the list. I don't like sleeve tats, so Cali is rough territory for me. NY/NJ is happy hunting if you're a fan of big glasses and big noses. Give me Texas, Arizona, Hawaii, Florida, Colorado, and Louisiana at the top and the rest don't matter.

Cotton Bowl CFP Semi Bama vs Cincy
What's this mean? If the top 4 teams yield mismatches in a playoff, it would be even more egregious in a 16 team playoff. If people aren't tuning in to watch lower tier bowls, they're also not tuning in to see a Georgia demolish a BYU or a 3 loss Utah-type team just because they managed to win the Pac 12. Enjoy the game.
-
Cotton Bowl CFP Semi Bama vs Cincy
Some people say Bama's QB is the best in college football, so you would think they could rely on the pass. Maybe it's just their one receiver is really good, and Cincy has mostly shut him down? Doesn't seem like this can work both ways

Slapped with something soft and flaccid until the pill kicks in?

Alamo Bowl: Oregon vs. Oklahoma
Do other fans act like this when their coaches get hired away? I wonder if Lincoln knew it was a blood pact when he signed the contract.
