Point. With each passing season, Gray does become a more likely successor.
Everyone seems to believe this wholeheartedly, but I'm not 100% convinced it isn't Wiles if we stay in-house.
I agree it's time you pay the man. Dunno if we can sustain $1Mil+ a year, but I'd like to see his base salary adjusted to the amount of the annuity.
Problem is, we're talking about a big raise at the time when revenues are trending drastically downward. His salary has to come from somewhere, and with less revenue that means cuts somewhere else.
Instead of pulling arbitrary numbers out of our asses and throwing them at the wall, I'd rather see Whit take Bud out to dinner, and over after-dinner drinks say, "I want you to be on staff for the foreseeable future. Where do you need your salary to be for that to happen?"
I'm betting Bud gives not a shit about making a million bucks a year, but would really value a straightforward display of appreciation and loyalty from his boss's new boss.
A hypothetical under the table HCIW deal better stay buried WAY under the table, since it violates Virginia hiring practices for public employees.
Mah GAWD! Mah GAWD! He's broken in half!!!
Either crack the 250?
I could check but...lazy.
I had to read this twice. Diagramming that sentence would make my head explode.
Congratulations are in order, my good man!
(Not gonna lie, clicked on this hoping it was gonna be Sweat.)
I would love to see Mizzou upset Bama just to watch the ESPN brain trust implode.
Preseason and early season polls have always been meaningless, and they are becoming even more meaningless in the new system. It's a way to foster forum and barroom conversation until the actual meaningful games are played. That's yet another reason FSU at #4 registers with me at about the same urgency as a mouse fart, because this poll DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. The only poll that matters comes out Sunday, and then IMO it only matters for the teams ranked #5 and below. The field is so darn small, #1 has no discernible advantage over #4. When you're guaranteed to face 2/3 of the other teams that make the playoffs, seeding is pretty much irrelevant.
Yeah I don't think a four team bracket is large enough to really give much credence to the notion that one team has a significantly easier path to the championship than another. There's the question of disrespecting a team by ranking them too low, but honestly, the #4 team is not at a significant disadvantage to the #1 team as far as actually having to play the games.
I'm curious where FSU would be ranked if we were still using the BCS system.
Oh, I don't like it either. It feels like a soap opera. But it's the way they're handling the PR for the inaugural playoffs. And it will continue as long as there are so few spots on the bracket. The fact that one of the P5 conferences is mathematically guaranteed to be excluded from the playoffs, coupled with the completely human selection process, makes for a lot of melodrama. When they expand to a field of 8 (where I think we'll wind up and where I believe we should stay) then it'll get a little better.
No, right now it is precisely manufactured drama, and it's accomplishing exactly what the selection committee wants it to accomplish: driving conversation and creating a compelling storyline. The penultimate week of rankings has successfully built the drama of the new playoff system to a crescendo while actually having zero effect on the seeding we'll actually get after championship Saturday. My guess is should FSU handle GT, the Noles will miraculously jump one or two spots, sparing them Bama in round one.
Much ado about nothing. Manufactured drama. If FSU beats GT by one point at the last second, there is zero chance they fail to make the playoffs. Excluding them would cause the playoffs to implode after one year.
Crisco....
God! Yes! Please someone set a highlight reel of Brew Dog to this song.
Couldn't get it to embed for some reason. Thanks.
How about a compilation of all the sideline slips set to a soundtrack of Yakkity Sax?
Just realized while watching that, after getting beat like a redheaded stepchild all game long, Michael Brewer SKIPPED into the victory formation.
He cannot be killed by conventional weapons.
Beat me by 19 seconds.
The Sandwich.
Are we considered a long shot? I can't keep it all straight.
