  1. Coaches are interested parties. They'll advocate for whatever advances their interests. It's "hypocritical" in a way, but it's also understandable. The CFP Committee, on the other hand, is supposed to be disinterested. Its interests should be the same every season - to put the 12 best teams in the playoff according to the selection rules (5+7). But it keeps changing the criteria and justifications for its choices to suit its own unspoken interests, which is far worse than anything that a coach does.
  2. But we already have a fantastic athlete with drop issues. More than a couple, actually.
  3. What's weird to me is that Bama's numbers and our numbers are the inverse of one another. Bama to make the CFP? -950 for yes +590 for no Texas to make the CFP? +590 for yes -950 for no Is there some notion that we will get in if Bama loses to UGA?
  4. I think a lot of men fall into the bad habit of infantilizing women and calling it chivalry (or courtesy, if you don't like the connotations). I don't agree with the people ripping on @Nicole44, but it's par for the course on this board. She's more than capable of sticking up for herself.
  5. The palace intrigue at Auburn is ridiculous. All these redneck millionaires who think they're Machiavelli. Edit: And it looks like Durkin is staying at Auburn -
  6. I don't have an informed opinion about gambling services and how they set odds, but wouldn't that be a reflection of how people are betting, rather than the odds makers having some inside information?
  7. Dude even has a burnt orange turtle neck.
  8. Nobody asked you, Sally. Fuck off back to the Big 12 thread.
  9. I don't disagree with your doom scenario (after all, having a shitty home slate + no post season would be terrible for fans and support). But I gotta push back on the rest of your comment. We lost three games and are still in the race. UVA, BYU, and Duke have a shot. Multiple SEC and B1G teams are locks for big games in the CFP. That is great for the sport as a whole. If this was 2011, our season would have been on life support after the OSU loss. It would have been completely dead after losing to Florida. So many more fans are still engaged in December, it's amazing. And there are certainly negative side effects too, which you have pointed out. But I think the CFP is a net-positive for the sport.
  10. Still not worth dealing with Bonnie Thompson's bullshit.
  11. They also don't want to split their TV / CFP money with the rest of a conference. Notre Dame and Ohio State both earned $20 million from the CFP last season. Ohio State split it's money with the rest of the B1G and received roughly $1.1 million as its share. Notre Dame split it with no one and kept all $20 million.
  12. Live look at CTJ learning how the rest of us live:
  13. Elko gives me big "post-Sopranos Gandolfini" vibes. Not even joking, dude needs to start looking after himself or he's going to end up the same way.
  14. I’m talking about the “threw trash at babies” type comments. I didn’t see a single A&M fan get hassled in any way shape or form. The “worst” that happened was the standard chants and shit. They are giant crybabies who have to pretend we’re monsters so they can stoke their moral outrage and sense of superiority. I didn’t mind the mariachi band but the variety show thing does get tired.
  15. Holy shit, the absolute fiction in those threads. They really are a cult- can’t even accurately perceive reality.
  16. I was bellowing “POOOOR AGGIES” at the top of my lungs all the way down the concourse and outside Gate 8. I still can’t talk this morning.
  17. The bitching in this thread is wild. Sark isn’t perfect but he is more than good enough to steer the ship until the perfect coach comes along. I just don’t know who would be better. Day has big pedophile energy and Smart is a whiny little bitch. Every other coach would be a lateral move at best.
  18. I'm not shocked that Thompson threw a bunch of TDs. I'm shocked that Helobious made a factually accurate statement.
  19. I'm shocked. You're right. Thompson threw 6 TDs and rushed for 1 more against KU in 2021. Don't know if I can make sense of the world now.
