I have a feeling when it’s all set and done, we won’t be matched up with Ohio St. They will jump Georgia if they lose, and I assume PSU will lose and OSU will jump them due to head to head.

I think we’re either hosting or playing in Happy Valley in two weeks.

Same, I feel like the only way Ohio State doesn't move up is if Penn State & Georgia both win.

HANG THE DAMN BANNER

Poor Kentucky can’t even beat us in a spreadsheet challenge.

We can't get a home game.

If we were 13-0 on Sunday we'd possibly crack the top eight. We get the Villain penalty. We are not the acceptable rednecks.
But in truth a home game might happen, probably depends on what kinda pictures DW got at last year's CFP bigwig watch parties.

The schedule for a coach of a high profile college football team is ridiculous, I really can't imagine anyone wanting to do that, regardless of money.

I kind of see your point, but I grew up a Navy brat. Our military men and women keep ridiculous schedules and don't make near as much. Not even close. And military families sacrifice so much more.

Sorry, I'll step off of me peddle stool now.

a 10 year old laughed. an 8 year old gave her Dad, the Dad look. And a 5 year old laughed thinking we were laughing at him.

Just then, a goofball Chocolate lab stuck its head out from table, as I was pouring Chocolate Chex into a bowl. 'Did someone say Chocolate?'

Never a dull moment

down by the docks...no doubt...

There is no realm where we lose to Northern Illinois at any point this year.

Just a drunk thought.

Somehow we lost to a team that couldn’t beat the worst team in the Big 12.

This is so cool to me.

I was in the Navy from 90-94. I was going thru my paperwork from that time a few months ago.

It's embarrassing how little we were paid. I guess I was too young to realize that at the time. I hope it's better these days.

 

[Jackcrevol]

So good to hear. Hope he can start to earn that NIL.

no-mans land.......but a great hire.

I would add rank and file career military to that list as well. You're right, not unlike coaching just less pay and more risk, have to be totally committed and it is murder on the family. Takes different kind of people for sure.

Flirted with OCS in 2007. At that time, Ensign salary was around $37K.

Apparently in researching actuals, google says it was better than that. That was just based on my research at that time.

I think Clemson beats SMU and they are out. I don't care what Jabba the Ward says.

No idea, but doubtful. My dad retired after 21 years of service in 1989. Growing up, he was out to sea for a lot of my childhood. And I always knew he was going to dangerous places.

 

[Weezer]

I'm torn. My hatred for Bama makes me want them out of the playoffs, but I also despise Dabo with a passion. And it seems as if one of Bama or Clemson is bound to make it. Why can't they just pick Miami or another Big 12 school for that last spot?

Weigel's can expect a thorough cost-benefit analysis spreadsheet in response.

 

[rikberry31]

It is scheme why we have the running numbers we do. We will get those numbers with anyone coaching. How you determine good ol coaches are pass protection; pass off, pick up, awareness, FUNDAMENTALS( posturing up, feet stance, hand placement, get off. These directly correlate to coaching. Some of These have been bad for years.

This is not really true. The o-line has run blocked pretty well all season and pass pro was poor in the beginning due to injuries and inexperience, backs missing protections.
And as for coaching being bad for a while, Tennessee has had some really solid o-lines for awhile, even when we sucked.
