  1. It is ridiculously punitive. Good news is now that it’s :censored:ed the Chiefs, it’ll change.
  2. Top image is in the Superdome, bottom one is in the practice facility.
  3. Helluva coach. My school has 2-3 more rings if not for him, but couldn’t help but admire him. What potentially awful timing. Kiffin has just got a hell of a transfer class for Ole Miss. Lanning has said Oregon will be his last job, and he did sound legitimately sick over moving his young family from Georgia to Oregon just two years ago. Bama’s DC just retired and their OC sucks. I doubt Saban would be doing this without a replacement in mind, though. Got a bad feeling it’s Glenn Schumann, but if we can raid their roster, then that’s a fair trade.
  4. YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! GO BLUE!!!!!!!
  5. I've been against auto-bids in the 4-team format, but scrapping conference divisions and the generous number of at-large spots in the 12-team playoff have warmed me to the idea. This sport desperately needs an objective criteria that at the very least cannot exclude an undefeated team. That's finally been accomplished. It'll be interesting to see how conference championship games play into the committee's considerations going forward. I maintain that a team is better off finishing third in the B1G or SEC and avoiding the game altogether. You still get a bye and the "penalty" is a home playoff game. Alternatively, you lose the conference championship game, and are potentially eliminated.
  6. What do you mean by realistic? It's a very equitable proposal that certainly gives opportunities to teams that don't really have them today, it preserves regionality, and it looks like most rivalries could be preserved. 10-team conferences also leaves a lot of room for quality OOC games. Sounds great. Unfortunately, that's exactly what college football has been moving away from. The geographic footprints of conferences is past the point of absurdity, century-old rivalries are being trashed, and power is assimilating rather than being shared. If the entire sport started from scratch tomorrow, we wouldn't get anything resembling that 8-conference arrangement. We'd get a B1G+SEC+ND+FSU Super League, and the bottom half of the B1G and SEC would honestly be very lucky to be included. It's headed that way anyway unless one of the new P2 conferences ends up having some self-restraint. Anyways, about today! My alma mater just capped a 13-1 season and won the Orange Bowl by 60 :censored:ing points. I appreciate that FSU got royally screwed out of a playoff bid, but that was a stunning lack of pride.
  7. I haven’t pulled against Georgia since my primary rooting interest was Mark Richt being fired, but I wouldn’t give a damn if we lost to FSU. I hope the AP votes them #1 no matter what happens in the playoff. Why it was absolutely imperative that Alabama be included, who can say. Are they really that big of a draw? I always had the impression that everyone was pretty well sick of them.
  8. Lovely that James Harden did exactly nothing for Philly and they honored his trade demand, while Portland couldn't be bothered with what Damian Lillard wanted.
  9. I wish MSU had refused to play UM for the hilarity of it. Duck a sure loss and make this seem like a five-alarm fire that the NCAA had to move on before every other opponent followed suit. For once, I'd like to see the people that broke the rules be the ones that face the consequences. Someone always makes a colossal mess and skips town, and it's the successor that has to deal with it. I wouldn't even care if the penalties were minimal (relative to the severity of the infractions) if they were assessed to the actual guilty parties. Do a postseason ban starting now. I've met all of 2 Michigan fans in my life, so can't speak to the general attitude of that fanbase. However, I almost always feel bad for people who love their school, pour themselves into it, and get :censored: on in return. Also just lmfao:
  10. I'm sure the answer is something to do with taxes, but what is the point of this? The Heat's owner is the chairman of Carnival, so he's just writing himself a check?
  11. Congrats to the Nuggets and their fans. It’s always strange to walk away from a series without feeling one bit of ill will towards the opposing team, but that’s how I’ll remember this Finals. The Heat played out of their minds to get to this point, but didn’t seem to have anything left. Jimmy especially.
  12. For the past ten years, my only sincere hope for the Heat’s playoff appearances are to not be embarrassed. At some point, I’m gonna buy in and raise those expectations. What a 3Q! also :censored: YouTube TV. What a joke tonight.
  13. At least since 1984, when the Playoffs expanded to 16 teams, no. This is the first time that's happened. An 8 seed has beaten a 1 only 5 times before this year: 1994, 1999, 2007, 2011, and 2012. In none of those years did a 7 seed also advance.
