  1. I think they have really good FB/MBK coaches in place, but the chances of them sneaking into the CCG much less the playoff again are really low. You have Clemson and Miami plus various annual upstarts like Louisville or one of the NC schools. So football probably peaked with a CCG loss followed by a CFP blowout loss. They're looking at Pop Tarts type upside for a while. In basketball, there might be better hope to make an occasional at-large NCAA appearance now that they're in the ACC. Still, it's hard to see them do much more than a first weekend exit. Not a bleak situation at all, but also a tough one for a new AD to manage given fundraising and attendance pressures.
  2. Ron Torbert is the head referee. That's this guy: https://x.com/49ersSportsTalk/status/1886630618043134365 Also this: https://x.com/_MLFootball/status/1881773247894860006 Edit: Top link is the ref doing a postgame jersey swap with Pat Mahomes. Bottom link is when KC failed on a 3rd and 9 in the AFCCG vs Bengals, but Torbert stepped in to allow a re-do because the clock supposedly shouldn't have been running (there were 10 minutes left in the game). Next play was defensive holding.
  3. Watching every Eagles game, I can tell you the NFL and refs hate the tush push, one way they try to discourage it is by never giving a favorable spot if they can help it. Also not calling offsides unless it's obvious. But the Bills didn't run the play well at all, Allen took too long to move forward and went too vertical
  4. Allar is the opposite of "got that dawg in'm". Like he met the dawg and it bit his dick off
  5. Absolutely correct. You can't really even see the benches because of all the field level personnel standing and walking around. But a huge percentage of the stadium just watches the video board anyway, the quality is so good. There's no delay so you see the play the same time as all the fans. I always get the "something is missing" feeling, like being at a watch party with 70K people. But it's still nice to be there imo
  6. This is no longer a thing. The Sugar has to take the higher ranked of SEC & Big 12 (Georgia). Rose gets Big Ten (Oregon). What's interesting is the Big 12 should funnel to the Fiesta, but that would mean ASU goes there and I'm not sure CFP likes that. Here's their language: The selection committee will assign the four highest-ranked conference champions to Playoff Quarterfinals hosted by bowls. This will be done in consideration of historic bowl relationships, then in consideration of rankings. For example, if the Sugar Bowl hosts a Playoff Quarterfinal and the SEC champion is ranked No. 1 and the Big 12 champion is ranked No. 3, the SEC champion would be assigned to the Sugar Bowl and the Big 12 champion would be assigned elsewhere.
  7. Big weekend in Philly with Orville Peck on Friday and Fontaines D.C. on Sunday. I might experiment with not drinking for Fontaines so I can get a GA spot early and just stay put. They're such an awesome live show (Orville too but we have seats for him)
  8. They dangled GameDay to Kentucky if they only beat S. Carolina at home. Corso said it on air. Oops Mark Stoops. Being Herbie's bff still won't get you more than six point against the Gamecocks. Maybe you can focus more on UGA without the GameDay spotlight in Lexington
  9. That was a fun couple weeks last September Sadly...The Rock won't come back...to Boulder
  10. Guest picker will be Will Ferrell, maybe in response to Fox having Derek Jeter on (who at least grew up in Michigan) Fox show will be three hours (usually two). ESPN offering free breakfast and t-shirts to early arrivers
  11. I don't know this but kinda suspect Gundy's agent has called the AD for a raise plenty of times before the season was over.
  12. Pretty sure it's none other than Michael Richards (yes, Kramer) who was in the variety show Fridays
  13. The afterparty for that shoot would put Boogie Nights to shame
  14. This is a few years old but ahead of its time. Quite relevant in the AI age. The customer guys remind me of (non specific) Surly posters lol
  15. PE debt and foreign ownership isn't going to make these schools more attractive if and when the SEC/B1G decides to just go Super League. You're a small market AND your future profits are pledged to Luxembourg? Nah, we'll stick with Purdue and Miss State instead. (Nothing against ISU or anyone in particular, good fan bases deserve better than this)
