His brother is not though. Joseph is in the portal.
Yup, Bama, UGA, LSU, OU, Texas all probably cheated, add in ESPN too.
Clock or bank account?
I agree you can't go back, you have to move forward but to me the only way forward is to fix scheduling. UF never playing an OOC game outside the state for 30 years is an issue. Bama crossing the Mississippi for a game foe the first time in 100 years is an issue. You can't compare schedules. The conferences are too large and have just become an echo chamber. Miami is the lowest at large team and they are in the top 4. They were the last in and there was great argument that ND should have been in their spot. ND best them so ND probably would have been top 4 too (maybe not if ranked 9th). Until you fix scheduling then the teams in the playoffs are just random guesses.
Trade for their backup? /s
Ronnie Lott puts his name in that hat
Has a visit locked in with Bama
Meh we won 3 games last season. No one is a huge loss.
There's no going back. College football is getting closer every year to truly being a minor league for the NFL. With the way things have been evolving it's not going to be long before NFL franchises take an ownership / sponsorship stake in college teams. I would be a fool to think that the likes of Jerry Jones haven't already looked into the legality of sponsoring Texas, aTm, LSU, Oklahoma, etc. it's either going this direction or we're going to see the sport have a day of reckoning and see it all come crumbling down.
I hate to be negative about it, but those glory days are long gone and they are never coming back.
There is also the massive shift in ticket sales from movies vs. PPV/rentals/on demand.
Star wars-1977 was in (first run) theaters for 9 straight months-sold out on weekend nights 6 months in. People paid to see it dozens of times(12 yr old me saw it 9 times or so. Basically a cowboy movie set in space with (at the time
) amazing graphics.One review at the time said
" "There's something depressing about seeing all these impressive cinematic gifts and all this extraordinary technological skill lavished on such puerile materials. Perhaps more important is what this seems to accomplish: the canonization of comic book culture which in turn becomes the triumph of the standardized, the simplistic, mass-produced commercial artifacts of our time. It's the triumph of camp — that sentiment which takes delight in the awful simply because it's awful. We enjoyed such stuff as children, but one would think there would come a time when we might put away childish things." https://ew.com/movies/2019/11/29/reviews-every-star-wars-movie/ see other mixed bag reviews here https://www.mentalfloss.com/entertainment/star-wars/original-reviews-sta...
Princess Bride- ultimately a great movie(both in sales-albeit video-AND critics EVENTUALLY loved it) but very 'middling in sales/audience reviews.
'The Princess Bride was not a major box office hit upon its 1987 release, only earning about $30 million against a $15 million budget, making it a modest success. However, its slow initial performance was redeemed by massive popularity through home video, cable TV, and DVD, turning it into a beloved cult classic and enduring cultural phenomenon.

Some movies have great sales numbers in theaters; others have great critical acclaim from the beginning; still others do well at home/on demand ; the best do well in all three arenas but very few do.
As many note, quality is in eye of the beholder!
Starts and ends with Torry Holt and Insay that with admiration as my former boss
Coincidentally-NYE 2026 is the 40th anniversary of the very first bowl win in....the Peach Bowl!
Confirms that VT will win the national champ9ioship next year...it's science! (hopefully this is NOT /s)
No, Buzz has a strategy to not stay more than 6 years and reset his clock.
I didn't watch any Mizzou games this season...but I did watch them get worked over by UVA and it was kinda weird watching them. Their offense was eerily similar to ours. So much so, in fact, that I made comments about it in this thread
This assumes that we'll become a top 30 or so team...I'm not entirely convinced that we will but I really hope we do. I do think we'll be better than we have been (but, that's not a high bar)
Good luck to him. Not tremendously surprised nor broken up.
Very good athlete...showed flashes but never really ever looked natural or comfortable at LB.
Someone must have cheated to only have 1 sec team in the semis
Bama's performance in said conference championship should have been the thing that kept them out...
I don't see the issue, last year we gave byes to champions and they all lost, this year was ranked by the committee and only IU won, maybe the committee is just the problem. Or maybe everyone is way closer in competition than the media wants us to believe.
The only thing that a conference championship did was allow a 3 loss Bama team in. Remember the playoff expansion wasnt about giving more teams a chance it was about give certain teams more chances. NIL and xfer portal screwed up letting traditional powers dominate, not the playoff.
I bet Venables is happy he didn't have to run into a buzz saw though
Last year's did the same. The powers that be really need to rethink conference championship games and how they fit into the playoff. Or change the playoff to better fit conference championship games.
I'm with you here. ND should not have been cut. Bama should have.
Good/Great seasons are absolutely rewarded... with an invitation to the playoffs. There are TONS of examples across all sports where an underwhelming regular season for a team ultimately ends up with a championship
Gotta second king james here... One of the cool things about CFB is that every game, any week, could ruin your chance at being a national champion.
Now there's more games that matter, but no single game matters as much as it once did.
So I know that in the previous season, all regular season/ACCN money was split equally, and any post season revenue was kept by the teams that played in those games.
Then this season, there was a change where revenue was split based on a 5-year viewership calculation.
What I don't know is if the 5-year viewership calculation applies to all games, or just the regular season/ACCN games (that were previously being split equally)
