dfwabel Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Who currently has a Discover Card in their wallet or ever has? I haven't. I'm 40+ and know that at one point Sam's Clubs only took it, but really who has it or wants to have it in 2019? Discover should just pay that money to Dabo Swinney, as a Discover credit check is what what kickstarted his life as a student at Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Anyone else feel like they should suck it up and replace the kickoff? It's become the least relevant play in football IMO.

CFB semifinals will TMI for Ed in either Atlanta or Phoenix. LSU is the 3rd best team overall. When a squad as a QB, they get sliced&diced.

But it’s annoying to see Penn State be the beneficiary.

I still think LSU jumps them though because they finally played a complete game today. I think the most amazing stat is 4 of the teams Ohio State played were in championship games today. None of the others played one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Should a team from the Big Ten or Pac-12 be selected to go to the College Football Playoff, the Tournament of Roses will traditionally select the next-highest CFP-ranked team from that conference. There is, however, a caveat to that clause in the contract. https://tournamentofroses.com/rose-bowl-game-presented-by-northwestern-mutual-selection-procedures/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I guess it depends on how they define "several" spots because Minnesota is at 18 and Penn State is at 10, which doesn't feel close enough to say they're in a cluster within several spots of each other. I'd go Wisconsin, frankly. It'd be one thing if they got blown out but they shouldn't be punished for playing that extra game when they played pretty damn well. Plus, in the interest of a close game, I think Minnesota is the least likely to provide one against Oregon. It'll be interesting to keep an eye on the Sugar Bowl as well. Is Georgia going to slide down below Florida and end up in the Orange Bowl? Obviously head-to-head is important but Georgia's got some bad losses. Frankly, I'd like to see Florida in the Orange Bowl more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I'm fine with getting rid of the kickoffs. The Georgia/LSU game took roughly three days to play, as is the usual for the CBS 3:30 game, and if they're not going to get the commercial breaks under control, they need to cut some time from somewhere. I really thought after the AAF there would be a stronger push to eliminate kickoffs because it was better without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still mad about the A-State game I attended where there was a TD, commercial, kickoff, commercial, three-and-out, commercial. Football needs to die.

But unfortunately, that'll just mean 30 second cut scene, kickoff, 4 minutes of commercial time, 3 and out, 4 minutes of commercials instead of allowing fans 30 seconds to run to the fridge before the first offensive play, 3 and out, punt and then right to the next offensive play.

Don't stop the game clock after every First Down to get the chain gang situated. If the old men in the NFL can do it, some of those same dudes can move quicker on Saturdays. That would cut minutes of real time instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also trying to start a bandwagon where we don't stop the clock after every incompletion. Who wants on?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
