OnWis97 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'm OK with the high number of bowl games. Yeah, it's a bit watered down from the days when making a bowl was a true accomplishment, but so what? I like that there's more than just "second place is the first loser" in college sports. So what if Oregon State and Utah State were not particularly consequential teams? So what if this is the first I've heard of the LA Bowl. I'm OK with and exhibition and a little road trip to LA for the players. Who wins that game will be of little meaning to anyone, including those programs. And that's OK.

Red Comet Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I’d still be for increasing the number of wins required for bowl eligibility to 7 or 8. The number of bowl games isn’t the issue so much as it is the number of mediocre matchups. That or increase the number of playoff teams to 8 or 12.

Geoff Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 You'll pull my love for 40+ bowl games out of my cold dead hands. Also, can we all appreciate that Miami apologists will defend their 90 yard IPF field by saying there's another 30 yard field outside. ... Like other schools don't have at least one full size field outside their IPF. That school's a joke. I'm glad that now that they're realized they need to up funding, they've already hamstrung themselves a little bit in the facilities department.

When ever are you going to need all 100 yards during practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The majority of IPFs I've seen are 120 yard fields, even at the high school level. If you're forced to move practice inside, you're going to want as much room as possible for your different position groups that are normally spread across two or three fields when outdoors.

DEAD! Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I am going to take a wild guess and say Miami has poor special teams. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be in favor of giving priority to 7+ win teams. If the playoff expands enough then bowls will stop mattering even more. The NIT doesn't really matter in basketball anymore for instance. I'm for that, by the way. Make college football more stupid by making it less terrible, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 If you going to have a playoff for the "best" teams and want to have as many bowl games as possible... we should have a game for the two WORST teams and have play each other in the "toilet bowl" I saw, I came, I left.

All he really needs to do is be able to recruit, give pregame and halftime speeches and motivate during practice. If he puts a staff around him who actually does the play calling and real coaching moves he would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how he treated his staff in Cleveland, he better act 180 degrees from that or he's going to be looking for a new job pretty quick. He and Haley spent more time measuring themselves in front of the staff than getting ready to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Lewis, that's why I asked if he's done anything other than Under Armour games. Deion coached high school ball in Texas at a private school before going to Jackson State.

Just the recruiting alone having Ray Lewis come into your kitchen and talk to your family is enough to turn a program around. And ray Lewis was watched by many of these kids when he played, none were alive even during the end of his career in Baltimore. They just remember the prime time segments on nfl network.

Geoff Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Not to mention, if kids/families do a little research on Ray, that Murder Trial section on Wikipedia might cause a little hesitation.

See Red Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Don't think this happens, but... Deion has a legit shot at the #1 recruit in the country. Hunter's been a lock to FSU, saying he'd sign there even if they went 0-12. I read earlier he wants to be the next Deion at FSU but... this would be wild. Edit: Holy crap!
