It’s a normal distribution.

It isn’t. Under the new rules, conference championships matter as does ranking. FCS wins accomplish neither. With a playoff, injuries and depth take on magnified importance. I would prefer a 10 game conference schedule and then on to the playoffs. Playing OOC doesn’t matter as much since the...

One of the great ironies is that the GTAA has very few graduates of the Institute and virtually oblivious to things such as customer satisfaction, defect rates, queue theory, process, kpi’s, milestones, etc.

FWIW, several SEC schools have a group of retired folks who are part of the VIP Experience. They work for the AD, free … but get admission to all sporting events at the club level (I.e., free food and beverage). Kinda like the old Delta Red Coats. I think my club is 50 strong.

Is FSU Top 5 material? No. Not this year’s team anyway. Every year is a completely new team. Last year’s FSU was a good team that went undefeated against a less than stellar schedule. Then, they lost a helluva lot of players. So, unlike some teams, they didn’t just reload. They patched a team...

It’s hard to say. I saw the Florida pregame spirit huddle and 90% of the players looked away and seemed completely uninterested. Florida isn’t FSU, but I suspect FSU has a similar growing culture problem.

He just signed an 8-year, $10M dollar deal. I don't think he's going anywhere. But I am sure that FSU is po'd right now. Alabama is breathing a huge sigh of relief they did not pursue him.

They might get paid, but they still have to execute. I recall a receiver who played for Malzahn. His camp drill was 100 passes. He dropped one once and Malzahn told him if he did it again, he was not going to play. I enjoyed the Noles losing, but there were a number of passes thrown in the...

That’s what I said. Pay money and fix it. But it’s not a priority. So it won’t. Reading is fundamental.

I don’t think you can. A few years ago, I went to a stretch of games from BDS to Neyland to Ole Miss and several others and back to BDS. It struck me that many of the stadiums had not just similar bad music, but the same. My theory was that the smaller the program, the more likely they just buy...

ACC highlighting the following … : No other conference has won more NCAA national championships in the last two years than the ACC. The league has won 16 national titles in the last two academic years, including a league-record nine in 2022-23. The ACC has had a team in either the College...

Fun Fact Part 2: If you go to the Guiness St James Brewery, you will find that a hospital is next door. Guiness built the hospital to help all the alcoholics whose lives were affected by drinking too much Guiness. (At one time, maybe 20 years ago, Ireland consumed 25% of the world's production...

He was to replace Chizik.

I don't think it was that high, but would have to check. I do know that he asked for a guarantee and that was the deal breaker.

There was a significant defect in the previous Top 4 playoff version in that, by the end of September, most of college football was eliminated with 2 losses. That is no longer the case. More teams will remain competitive longer. What differentiates teams now is both the schedule and the...

I think losing Batt would be a bigger problem. He’s done the best job at AD since Homer. I think he could get lured back to Alabama. They loved him.

Hahaha. True. But I liked the way he described Tech athletes. More like a service academy than a football factory. Doesn’t have to bail out kids from jail, deal with drugs in the dorm, etc. Just good kids and a good (not perfect) place to coach.

CPJ was offered the Auburn job (turned it down) and expressed interest in the Tennessee job, but didn’t follow through. He later said he just enjoyed the environment and kids at Tech and didn’t want the pressure of a big time program. I think Key is from the same bolt of cloth.

I thought it was fairly well confirmed that Willie Fritz was first choice. But he wanted a guaranteed contract and Tech balked. Whereas, Key agreed immediately. I don’t see Key going anywhere. He’s painting on a blank canvas and enjoying himself.

I think the ACC will still exist and it will still be a Power 3 conference. Might it add a team? Maybe. Lose a team? Maybe. Durham and McClain shared, “Man, you look at the new markets that we’re going to be in now. Dallas has been feasting for college football primetime. Every time that we go...
