Slice, hog, and marcus all are making great points. As much as I despise Bama and would absolutely hate for for them to have another "crown" to crow about, I'll hope for Bama to win the CFP this year just to illuminate what a farce the whole system is. My "support" for Bama probably damns...

I guess it's part of my perverse nature; but as much as I despise Bama, I hope they beat IN like a drum. I just don't like the idea of a championship playoff - demeans the rest of the year and absolutely trashes bowl games as a reward to guys who worked hard all season. There are too few games...

Before a surgery - can't remember if it was rotator cuff or heart, I asked the doc if I'd be able to play my bagpipes after surgery. He fell for it hook, line, and sinker. My normal doc was listening to my heart one day when I went in for a normal checkup. I told him I was in A-fib, and he...

I both agree and disagree. With freedom to make choices there are corresponding responsibilities. Sure you can change jobs and even take away much of what you learned in experience, but you cannot take property including "trade secrets" or other forms of "intellectual property", and there...

So it's "Bye Bye Beybe Bye Bye". Or some guys are just gonna be more problem than they are worth. Reports say Merk is intending to to into the portal; not a surprise there. With teams leaking (both ways) like a sieve, not much real opportunity to invest in dedicated talent and keep it for...

He's bayou bait and doesn't know it. Could be a couple of new Creedence songs out sometime soon. "Borne to the Bayou" "Bad Moon Rising on the Bayou"

Maybe if coaching salaries were put on a strict diet, it might put a dent in this kind of stuff. Expect as NIL and other payments kick in for the same kind of crap from players, too. Coaches have been racking up behavioral problems for a while, the athletes were probably constrained a bit by...

The thing that everybody seems to ignore in all this is academics. Transfer credits and graduation. Most students with a scholarship have some stipulations to meet - like progress and GPA. For once I'd like to see the academic side of the schools put the foot down and demand that athletes on...

It's the kind of thing that happens when someone does his thinking with the little head.

Go with Dink's suggestions. I'm currently making the real transition to Linux - really dislike the Win 11 feel. I've been using Linux Mint variants for a while now, and I have recently found just one thing that Windows does that I can't duplicate in Linux - but I really don't do that much...

I dunno bout that. Considering we're talking Bama people, it might well be a chip shot. :D

Not completely related, but we've had some interesting kickers and punters over the years, but I'm a little disappointed in one thing that hasn't happened. There's apparently been some good natured ribbing in the last couple of years about passers, and Heupel claims he's still second best or...

One of the coldest games I remember was at Vandy in the old "stadium" - more like metal bleachers. Pretty sure it was the 1964 game - and we lost. Can't remember a detail about the game except my brother and I freezing our butts off and wondering why we went in the first place.

Weather in Nashville in Dec generally tends to suck as compared to FL weather. The original bowls were in places where people might actually want to congregate in the winter. The Cotton could be bit iffy, but then it's in TX in the first place.

Love it. James Madison and Tulane don't belong in the mix, but if that's what it takes to slam the door on ND, good for them. ND needs to get in a lane and stay there and quit playing their game of being 1 of 1 in the holy conference and expecting that to open doors for them. Bunch of...
