Don't forget how much of the entire commentary from pregame onward will focus on FSU and what they have to do this year. And how everything happened last year. And what their new QB needs to do. And what his history was. And how good their kicker is. And how good their punter is. And... (Oh...

This. With so many things in college football, it's easy to look at it through the retrospective lens we have today, rather than the blurry lens turned towards the future we had at the time. Case in point: Everyone talks about how dominant FSU was last year (and they were). But they also...

I believe the name is "James 'Mad Dog' Munlyn," thank you very much.

Agreed. It did de-emphasize Tech-Alabama as a rivalry, though. But most people today don’t even know that was ever a rivalry. Same goes for Tech-Auburn. Sad to see so many traditions torn down, it this has been the way for a long time. I think it just used to happen sparingly, whereas now it...

Yeah - it reminded me a LOT of how cool it was when Scott Frost got off the plane coming back to Nebraska.

To give an idea of how far a dollar goes, here’s what Nebraska is doing to their (admittedly much larger) stadium for $450M...

It really turned out as a thing of cosmic beauty, in a depressing way. Every time they yelled Money Down (which embarrassed the heck out of the fans), and we didn't stop the opposing offense (which was most of the time), we could literally see all the money we were throwing down the drain.

Temple was still coasting on the recruits and scheme Matt Rhule brought to the table. It declined under CGC. Much like most of the defenses he's led - his predecessors advanced to bigger roles because they were hired away, and he was able to coast just long enough before bolting to give the...

Sigh...I'm not yet at the point where I can react to any of these clever comments with a laugh. I'll get there. (A win - or better, a straight-up beat-down of our opponent in Chapel Hill next year will help.) For now, everything about that photo turns the stomach. As a side note, did anyone...

Also a non-lawyer - but someone who's been party to civil lawsuits that have moved through the courts. I think both of the above sentiments can be true here. This ruling was but one link in the chain. A motion for dismissal is one of the first things in the process that is always thrown against...

For those who are looking for it, here's an article on the ruling: https://247sports.com/college/florida-state/article/fsu-acc-lawsuit-motion-dismiss-stay-denied-north-carolina-judge-229888164/

As someone who worked in the entertainment industry for years (and for the Georgia Film Office back in the day)…this is a no-brainer, and long overdue. I wish this had been on the table 30 years ago when I was considering schools. I would likely have gone to Tech instead of Oglethorpe. Excited...

It's interesting how in football, the ACC Coastal was always the "weaker division" because there was no dominant team, and on any given Saturday, any team could win. Meanwhile in basketball, the opposite logic seems to be applied to the Big 10 and Big 12 and SEC. Frustrating.

This. Again, if you all haven’t listened to the episode of the podcast “Acquired” on the NFL, you should look it up. It’s very interesting how the NCAA has taken a different path than the NFL (in some cases because Washington won’t agree to let them do things). When you look at the SEC...
