I actually do, thanks! I have really thick hair so it takes a LONG time to dry. Use to
take me about 15-20 mins to dry every morning. Now only 10. So the dryer has already
paid for itself.

All of these teams had at least 3 losses, and they all won their conference and would recieve an automatic bid. They'd all be one lucky hot-streak away from winning the national championship. Don't you think that deadens the impact of losing games? "If you lose some games, that's fine, as long as you can still make a run at the conference title in the end." I hate that sentiment, and I think this proposal encourages it.

I can only assume you have well groomed hair...but if you have a $100 hair drier AND unkempt hair...I think it's fair to judge

From a woman's perspective on the hair dryer.....this could be a really expensive hair dryer.
Mine was $100 and not even close to being deemed "professional" like real stylists use.
The hair dryer my stylist uses was $300. But yeah still a weird bowl gift. And yes I have a $100
hair dyer. Don't you judge me! LOL

I have an Auburn fan from Alabama that goes to my church, was even at Auburn for the Alabama game. Him and I once had a conversation about who had the worst offensive coordinator in the NCAA. I think I won the debate since we fired ours to hire theirs. Our offense will never be good with Loeffler there is no hope and I wish we had never hired such an idiot.

Check out what he did at Temple. He had a stud running back, and rode him to the #7 (or thereabouts) rushing offense in the country. Last year he again had two stud running backs who each averaged about 6 yards a carry, but had a freshman quarterback who is now a safety. This year, five freshmen on offense, 3 contributing seniors. That's not a great position to be in as a coach, especially when they're not a good fit for your system.

People around here have really short memories. I realize that the Marshall game was a while ago but have we really forgotten about it already?

Yea, completely unsure why they give hair dryers... Regardless if the company is located in the bowl town or not. I'm sure each player would have gladly accepted a year supply of Ol El Paso Picante Sauce over that damn hair dryer....

Ahh yes... kind of how we used to be able to block a kick.

I'm not sure when the last time we blocked a kick AND returned it for a TD.... that may be too much to ask of our special teams as of late.

One step at a time, one step at a time....

I'd love our D to be a scoring D again. Great to hold people to few yards and low scores, but I remember when we did that AND got interceptions for TDs, and fumble recoveries for TDs. Fun days.

It's not like we should have gone 8-4 in the first place. I don't get why everyone is so okay with that record, we had opportunities to win all but one of those games, and we didn't. Blame it on who you want, but the team didn't get it done.

And if this offense is such an improvement from last year, why did we once again struggle to put points up against teams like UVA?

My problem with going by those rankings is that it doesn't necessarily say anything about actual improvement or regression. In the time where offense is blowing up across the board because defense isn't there as much anymore, it's easy to figure things were worse.

Seriously, how many games did I see this year that were shootouts compared to even a few years ago? Every weekend there were at least 6 games I saw scores of in the 40s/50s range where it was BOTH teams doing it. That was ALL over the place this year.

Mack Brown to 247: "I'm in FL recruiting. If I had decided to step down I sure wouldn't be killing myself down here (to get the University of Florida job)."
