Couldn't tell if this post was in /s or not, but I think I would pass on more bowls. If these locations would be great for a bowl, maybe the bowls should bid for a spot. You could cap the amount of bowls, and have them fight over which ones are going to be included.

So I was just having some fun at baseball fans' expense there, but I would actually be curious to see the real growth numbers from the mlb. It's certainly felt like it's been dying out for as long as I can remember, and I think it long ago lost its status as the premier American sport to football, but it still seems to be going strong. Living in DC I've noticed people take an interest in baseball the last couple years which I don't ever recall seeing in my lifetime. It still seems like a sport on the decline, but I'll be the first to admit my evidence is mostly anecdotal.

(And to my original point, baseball can get away with showing half-filled stadiums because they've traditionally featured games during work hours and at odd times, it's kind of the norm; not so much in football where the vaunted "atmosphere" is such a huge part of the game.)

uh oh, big dragon time. Daenerys :D

Give it to UNC for their legal troubles.

Nothing most likely. That's kinda how they work.

Yes, but isn't part of his job as a football teacher, so to speak, to make the terminology and philosophy understandable so that his players can consistently execute the plays? It has been documented that as late as the UNC game last season, players were still having difficulty getting lined up correctly on offense. If your players can't do what you've instructed them to, or have difficulty comprehending what you're trying to get across, isn't that pretty much bad teaching? It may be the most brilliant football strategy ever, but if players have difficulty understanding it, all of that complexity is for naught. I just can't subscribe to the narrative that basically Loeffler was just too good for college football. Just my two cents.

That's a 5-star get after it comment right ther-SONIC!SONIC!SONIC!

I love it when our Coach Fuente's former current players do well.

FIFY

Yea, its 100% 5-star get after it juice. It will take you to the shade.

We've certainly hit a wall here, but I hope people read this and realize how ridiculous it is

Yep, we have.

And yep, we do.

Miss Manners could tell ya, but you'd have to read, like, actual newspapers for that! Naw, in all seriousness, it's an "old school" way to thank your hosts for having you over, usually for a meal (yeah, hence the b&b thing), or a stay with them for a day or two. Often done via a card or short note. At one time, it was considered the polite thing to do, but it has obviously fallen out of favor with time and e-communication. Still the Luddite dinosaur, here, though.

Remember everything that the players said about the details he would go over and expect in meetings? What we saw on the Mic'd Up video was not the extent of Loeffler's teaching, not even close. We can debate offensive philosophy all we want (hint: simpler is probably better for college simply because it requires less teaching), but having spoken to him and watched him coach, I can't say I've ever thought Loeffler was a poor teacher.
