That one gonna itch when it dries, Kim.

Since Kyle McCord won't play in the Cotton Bowl for OSU they should reseed the Buckeyes and move them to a lower bowl.

That's the way it works in the playoffs, so that's how it should work with the other bowls.

Had to inform my students today that rather than assessing them on their performance throughout the semester, I will be convening a committee of individuals who have never taught a college course nor even actually taken one to assign their grades. Kirk Herbstreit told me it was a good idea.

'Are we allowed to appeal?'

'No.'

'Why?'

'Nope.'

'Well can we know who these people are?'

'Dont ask'

'Well, who do they answer too?'

'The President of the CFB?'

'Nope, no one.'

'So wait, my future is contingent on a committee of non-academics, who are sequestered, identities hidden, to no account, and we have no access too?'

'Lets go!'

Can’t believe I’m going full Involuntary this morning but I am!

I’m officially entering the transfer portal from College football! It used to be the greatest sport known to man and now it’s a sport run by a select few!

Officiating is at an all time worst and again the select few get just enough calls to tip an otherwise close game to who they want to win! When the calls aren’t enough they just go ahead and pick who they want so what’s the use to playing the games?

I’m going through my sports news apps this morning and first thing I see is ****** Finebaum saying spare me the outrage for FSU. It’s all too much..

I think the AD & coaches feel like we should win a title in the next couple of years. I won't be surprised if we spend a massive amount on portal players. . . like a&m type of spending, in order to get the trophy.

I hope you're right on this because I do think we have a core group of players that can be really good but we need more than just a small core. We don't want to be one of those teams that waste a phenomenal QB with middle-of-the-road receivers and a couple of good linemen. Those teams end up good but always seem to be a player or two away.

I also think next year's defense has a HUGE opportunity to be VERY good with our DE's but we MUST get better LB and secondary play. We also need another playmaker at DT. That big push up the keeps the QB from just stepping up and away from that pass rush.

I know I don't get the benefit of the doubt here, but I'm not carrying Bama's water. I'd say the same things if any other team was in Bama's position. I am carrying the committee's water because I think they used a rational approach to this situation. People are trying to apply rules that were never codified and wouldn't work if they were.

There are two systems for choosing playoffs: subjective (voting/polls) or objective (WL records/tiebreakers). There's no such thing as a hybrid of those two. In a four team playoff I think the former, while not perfect, works better for getting the best potential matchups and I think it did that here. In a 12 team playoff we could conceivably switch to purely by the Won-loss record and end up including the best 4 teams, but it would still cause endless controversy.

I will say that though I disagree with you on this one, you always carry yourself very respectfully and I appreciate that.

Does that mean giving A’s to the pretty girls and C’s to the not so pretty ones?

Kind of like how the committee chooses teams.

Ah we have to play that guy again next year?

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Do you have any experience with Farrell-Calhoun? Always heard its excellent. But out of my price range, for decking

Never heard of it..but it’s probably out of our price range too.

 

[beneVOLence]

Is this about Justin Joly?

 

[drvenner]

I read the other day that they are making another sequel to Silence of the Lambs. It's going to be called Shut up Ewes.

[Jimmy Football]

Starting to get Schiano-y in here.

 

[gordonr24]

There’s no doubt that Knoxville and Neyland Stadium made an impression on Joly. It definitely had to be overwhelming but also inspiring to see a full house of 100,000+ against UConn.

why do Vols fans care about the criminoles getting shafted? I'm still pissed about losing Jalen Ramsey. screw those guys

I am much less upset about the Noles being shafted than I am about the most corrupt program in the NCAA weaseled its way into the CFP.

I think it’s more about Bama getting in. Atleast for me

Joly enters as a .92 four star. 15th overall.

Not shabby

 

[gordonr24]

Fleeing a sinking ship, pun intended.

And money talks..

 

[drvenner]

I bet we go after Will Sheppard from Vandy. Exactly the kind of receiver we look for. Talk outside guy who can run.

Another WR from Vandy who fits that mold is Landon Humphries. He’s a younger guy - I think a redshirt freshman. Tennessee kid. But rumored to already be headed to Georgia.

Two names I’ll be paying attention to.

I am actually glad you keep trying to steer conversations back to Recruiting. It is still that time of year.
