Iff the claims about the extension are true I hope they do win that. No contract without consideration or whatever it is a lawyer told me once. Shady AF to tie the GOR past the guaranteed benefit of the contract; if the contract is optional then make the GOR extending past 2027 contingent on the...

Somewhat shocking that they didn’t come together as an us-against-the-world thing and come back hard next year too. The difference from the Bowden era is stark: “let’s do what will give us the best chance to win titles” has turned into let’s try to get the biggest paycheck possible and fold at...

Well at least they didn’t use ChatGPT then.

There’s also a bunch of “when was the last time GT was above .500” for a “biggest jinx” category

I think you’re gonna have a lot of competition from “Brent Key is not the answer” for that!

“Hottest take” “Post that aged best” “Post that aged worst”

I don’t know if Ndongo is quite tall enough to be a top NBA pick just yet without a bit more seasoning, but I’m definitely preparing myself to lose some players early the way Stoudamire is recruiting.

The ACC and fans turning the conversation into a Rodney Dangerfield nobody respects us bit is self-sabotaging. It shows the insecurity. It shows weakness. Make it about injury and whether or not that should be a factor going forward. Push that narrative, ignore anyone who talks about other...

But if the 2027 termination option is accurate, the GOR extension didn't placate ESPN's concerns. Something doesn't add up, but sadly "the ACC just isn't well run" seems like a quite plausible explanation.

If it's a unilateral option then I don't think it is reasonable to assume that. I'd be asking myself "what do they know that I don't, what are they trying to protect themselves against, since they're the ones in the media business?" It's just a plain bad option to sign: if future media deals...

If ESPN has an option to terminate the media deal after 2027 in 2025 would the GOR survive it? If a potential replacement media deal sucked, would enough teams vote to dissolve the conference that the GOR goes away that way? Did adding SMU/Cal/Stanford make the math for that worse? (And why on...

My read of the Sagarin ratings, for instance, says that they could’ve and should’ve won by more points against that schedule? The twelve team change will make it less of an issue, but ultimately CFB is still stuck in a world of beauty pageants and unless everyone decides that’s not what they...

Bringing up FSU dominating the conference in prior decades is the same sort of argument SEC fanatics make about why so many SEC teams deserve it. It doesn’t impress me (and no, nor would I expect the Big 10 to be like “ooh, titles from the fifties and before!!” to get GT an in there). They...

Ok so not 0%. But would you pick a 2-TD underdog over the “overdog” of Alabama in that matchup? Some of you don’t believe they wouldn’t get in anyway, that’s fine, it’s an unprovable point. But it’s not unreasonable to disagree with that assumption. 16 out of 32 sounds a lot better than 4...

I just think there’s a 0% chance FSU without Travis beats Michigan, Alabama, or Georgia in a conference championship game.

Eh, USC played their game and got their split title and nobody tried to take it away. FSU seems to be more of the “cry and try to take out ball and go home” mindset, so I’m sure if they lose to UGA they’ll be full of excuses too about how it doesn’t mean anything that Travis got hurt. I don’t...

I do think all the signs point Sherrer being here next year. The title, the continued recruiting, the lack of his inclusion in the leak about coaches being replaced… I also wouldn’t be shocked if he went back as a “co-“ if there was a slam dunk opportunistic hire, but his promotion was...

Right, I got mixed up about Haynes. Smith was the CPJ recruit. But yeah, generally that’s the point I was trying to make: Key pulled some key contributors out of the portal, made some better coaching hires, and ramped up the win total in short order. And if Collins couldn’t get those results...

Guess you missed the “anymore.” They were great, then they turned into a team that is only occasionally a national contender. If FSU was still FSU they wouldn’t be in this situation (their backup QB probably would’ve crushed UF for starters). They certainly wouldn’t be behind Washington if they...

The ownership of those teams is famously bad - it’s still probably not a big enough market for two teams but neither is Atlanta or anywhere else in the country anytime soon. I’d think the Warriors and Niners would show that a winner could do well there still. Better than Seattle or Eugene.
