I preflighted and went in with an empty bladder. We’ve seen it several times. We had great seats, probably our best yet, and I got about 2G of video. Got both Christmas Canon and Christmas Eve in Sarajevo. I wish I had gotten the full recording of the Paul O’Neill tribute. He was the founder and passed in 2017. Once again we got Al Pitrelli’s traveling troupe. He knows how to work a crowd.

I went to one of their shows, I went to the restroom right before intermission (I didn’t know there was one) so when I came out of the bathroom people were walking out and I thought the show was over. Nope, 2 more hours.

It’s a great show just an hour or 2 too long.

I think the Pop-Tarts bowl is a great example of how bowls have become irrelevant. UM pulls a healthy and playing good QB1 after the 1st half to get next years QB some PT, they end up losing.

Edit: It might have been a case of the coach allowing the QB to play the 1st half to break some record IDK.

Today was two and a half hours straight. No intermission.

I see the football forum is quite the litter box of insanity I figured it would be while I was gone. Geez ... 20 mins worth gave me a headache.

I dont even go in there. Almost entirely populated by the 10% or so of our fanbase that act like emotional teenage girls in a rage every time we lose a game..which rarely happens since we have averaged 10wins per year for the last 3 seasons. Completely Irrational posters crying over the kids our staff told to leave...and raising Cain because we arent throwing millions at every flashy player in the portal. We have 83 guys on scholarship as of today btw...out of 83 limit due to probation. Pearce and Sampson leaving early gets us to 81. We are likely to add another Oline, a WR, maybe 2 DTs and a Safety? Thats 5 guys. We will have to lose 3 more guys in the spring portal to do that...our coaches know exactly what the Hell they are doing and have done a great job there every year IMO. Wish the Chicken Littles in the FF would go away...

Yeah I would be pissed if i was a senior for Miami. They scored 6 points in the 2nd half without Cam. Glad they lost. Selfish decision to play half the game. Either dont play and dont break the record...or play to win. Ridiculous IMO

Yep, and I made the mistake of posting a logical response. People are actually pissed we made the playoffs and weren't in a crap bowl game. Sky is falling, end of the world type posters currently. Is it spring yet so everyone can be super unrealistic about going undefeated and winning it all next year?

So did Mathews enter the portal or not? I can’t find anything showing he is actually in the portal and the deadline was midnight eastern.

He had to declare intention by midnight, which he did. The compliance office has 2 days to file paperwork with NCAA.....
