    FSU Post game thread

    I rewatched the game and have some additional thoughts: Santucci had a plan for the D and saw it wasn't working, so he made adjustments. Mental flexibility is really important in football and FSU was very late adjusting when GT starting sliding safeties into the box. GT looked light the team...

    I want to give a game ball to Jackson Hawes. He's a smart player who doesn't mind putting red shirts on the ground.

    Oh, I understood, but wanted to use your post to add my thoughts about their elite athletes.

    I don't know about their players, but the fans were already focused on the CFP. To them, being ACC champion was the easy part of their goal. I am not sure which players on that team are draft ready. Benson, maybe. Byers and Washington on their OL, plus a couple of DL guys. But all those guys...

    What moment gave you confidence?

    I was certain we would win when Birr kicked that FG. Not before.

    Live sports overshadows everything else on television ( including streaming), so sports content is not going away anytime soon.

    Conference Realignment

    I do not know who is representing the ACC in mediation, but they cannot bind the conference without a vote of the members. It could be, and this is just a guess, the reps for FSU made an offer and asked the ACC to put it up for a vote. The idea that the ACC would cave in at this stage is pretty...

    I just saw FSU -10.5. Something is driving money toward GT.

    Conference Realignment

    Finebaum was a columnist for the Post-Herald while I was living in Bham. I liked his writing and his perspective. I and my running buddies talked about his columns on our lunchtime runs, so his opinions were edgy even then. He has become more of a homer for the SEC than I like, but he is still...

    I love the fact that your predictions never have an emotional bias. Just loads and loads of data.

    There was a spicier version in mind before I contemplated a potential mod warning.

    Conference Realignment

    This is a crazy take. Four years? The GOR decision in court is unlikely to let anyone out of the ACC by that time. No one is leaving without their media rights.

    Understand it is very difficult to keep up with every roster change and do your own copy editing and draw sensible conclusions. He has some mistakes in our summary and others. I would not bet against the starting lineup he has for GT. At least on opening day.

    So, erase any thoughts about whether George or McCollum will be the starting PG. Or, if the title of PG really matters to CDS. I loved the quote where he says GT will have one of the best backcourts in the country.
