I want to argue with the Swamp being above Neyland, but it's hard to argue with that swamp voodoo. Bryant-Denny has no place being ranked top 5 let alone 2nd, it's honestly not even the rowdiest stadium in alabama.
A little surprised there wasn't a shot at FSU/clempson et al trying to leave the ACC.

And is this supposed to convince me that -75% emissions for -5% growth is a bad trade? Cause that seems like a great deal to me.
The NCAA on Tuesday approved a rule change that will allow any staff member to "provide technical and tactical instruction to student-athletes during practice and competition."
I didn't even realize there was a limit, because no way in hell have there been only 11 coaches on a sideline for years now
Yeah it's a really good thing global warming is a liberal conspiracy, otherwise I'd be starting to get reallllll nervous right now.
Honestly tfa is my least favorite of the trilogy. Just refused to break new ground, and did a lot to sully what it retreaded. tlj at least took risks and I didn't like it, but I respect it. And ros was the best theater experience I've ever had (had the full theater to myself so I was free to exclaim about the bullshit to my hearts content, and I had bottomless spiked milkshakes, so I did exclaim to my hearts content)

We need to redo the sequel trilogy, not add on to it...
Is the Buc-ee's Big 12 an acceptable name for you?
The deal would be the first of its kind in college athletics following the House v. NCAA settlement

Mark my words history will eventually recall two days where the us president saved college football. Seriously short of an executive order controlling the money in the sport how can we possibly un-fuck this sport?
Watching people struggle to choose between the tesla t and the apple apple would be so satisfying for me.
On the traditionalist side: vandy was a founding member, plus I'm sure they bring up the average gpa of sec football at least a little. If we keep them in then that means we automatically play them every year.
On the modernist side: vandy isn't competitive and isn't really close to being competitive in the foreseeable future. We could easily have them as a protected ooc matchup to appease anyone who wants that.
The OU thing I honestly don't have too strong of a feeling for. If we have a sooner lurker I'd love to hear from them. Josh's reasoning was that adding OU kept it from being a Texas conference. Which, you already have Arky. But if that's not enough I would maybe even suggest adding the AZ teams. I think that might be a bit much geographically, but it may make more sense culturally? idk
I could also recommend throwing the service acadamies into the ivy league, which we could also lump NW and vandy into. I feel like the service academies and the more academically inclined universities have the same "grindset" and this could help bring the ivies back into relevance in the sport. Since if we're keeping Rutgers in the power conferences, we should keep Princeton and Yale in the big leagues. No way in hell they would ever vote for that though.
Josh Pate Realigns EVERY College Football Conference (Late Kick Cut)
Somewhat delayed reaction to this, because I don't obsessively listen to Pate. I think he says a lot to say a little, but that's podcasts for you. I do at the very least appreciate his traditionalist approach to the sport. And this is one of those instances where I really do agree with what he's saying.

Like I said I honestly like this. I would maybe keep vandy in the SEC as they were a founding member and push SCar to ACC or something. And if we're changing some names then I refuse to allow the big 10 and 8 to exist. Somebody has to change that name. But like Josh says, with this system I would almost be okay with an 8-12 team playoff. Thoughts?
Infared (mostly) air to air missle, but easy mistake to make.

I mean I'm pretty sure Thomas Jefferson said students should stay in college until they feel like they've learned all they need to...
I was once in a cubicle with one built just the way I like: tall, skinny and with drawers that went for days... oh I could get lost deep inside those drawers...
I mean they're objectively not the least sexy cabinets I've worked with.
I personally don't need this to be the definitive football sim to consider buying it. I just need it to be micro-transaction free to consider buying it
Also named in the bombshell suit are a former Gators football staffer as well as a prominent booster

BOONE — Appalachian State University student-athlete John “Jack” Murphy passed away on Friday, April 26.
You absolutely hate to see it. There's no proof and it's likely unhelpful to speculate, but based on the article I suspect suicide. Y'all look out for each other out there.
Congratulations u/<your name here> you've just become the next NCAA president...
Because this was so last second, you've been awarded a single action item that will be accomplished immediately without litigation or bureaucratic red tape. What do you do to "save" the sport?
Clemson sues ACC
If the ACC falls apart, I don't want any of em
The CFP is barreling toward a new format and revenue model that skews toward the new Power Two, creating a more formal divide in the top tier of college athletics.
Just more proof that the cfp was a bad idea. None of the options outlined here seem fair to me (or productive). Let's just go back to regional rivalries y'all
Jonathan Skrmetti told Knox News that \
NCAA looks like they may have overplayed their hand. While I've been done with the NCAA for a while, this may truly be the beginning of the end.
Welp...
Jim Harbaugh, who returned Michigan to glory with the program's first national title since 1997, is becoming coach of the NFL's Chargers with a five-year deal, sources told ESPN.
Shocked, shocked I tell you. Nusm called it
Nick Saban has retired as coach of Alabama football after 17 seasons and a career that included seven national championship.
Sources say he was also historically stinky
c/cfb Post Season Poll
Make sure that you haven't repeated any teams! Honor system 1 ballot per voter per week (I don't want to collect email addresses to limit it on my end)
Well that was an absolute banger of a season. Upsets, playoff controversy, heartbreak, ecstasy and whatever the hell CU was doing. This poll will likely stay open for a week or two to let people who may not visit a cfb community as much in the postseason still have a chance to submit a ballot. It has been an absolute pleasure hanging out with this tiny community, and hopefully it continues to grow. Speaking of community, shout out to @[email protected], who very nearly predicted the final score of the NC game with a prediction of 35-17, you can almost pick my lottery numbers anytime.
