This is what has kept me away the last few years...

My (admittedly very simplistic) view of GT basketball is that CDS (whom I still like as a hire) is trying to play NBA basketball with mid-level college players....and it simply doesn't work very well.

Trojans kept forcing him to play to the right, iirc.

Oh well, can’t read that…

This. Seriously, this.

Speaking of Abram, what’s going on these days with him?

And he knew it right away….

But…but…but…Christmas season just ended! Oh, I guess UNC is just THAT confused!

Agreed. He kinda reminds me of my ex-wife in that way…

For me weather is a key factor early in the season. I like early season games so I can become familiar with our players, but if it’s cold (ok, if it’s chilly), then I’m out. I blame my age. Later in the season, my assess is based on if our pitching is decent. If we are walking 9 guys a game and...

A loss is a loss is a loss. At least this year. All we can hope for is player development and recruitment of more top players.

I doubt Saban knew until the last few days. A month ago he sounded quite happy…

It is most interesting that Saban clearly did not care for dealing with players’ attitudes in the NFL, as he left after only 2 seasons there. Now, as college football has moved more and more towards professional sports with the transfer portal and NIL etc, Saban decided he’s seen enough and...

You’ve convinced me, Root. But we must then follow your logic to its logical conclusion. NO G5 teams should be allowed in because, as you say, they simply cannot contend for the title. But we must also exclude the Big XII as well, since in 25 years of the BCS & CFP they have NEVER sniffed a...

btw, are you aware that throughout Europe, they have a tournmant which allows EVERY SINGLE TEAM to participate in at all levels of professional soccer. They are the national cup trophy tournaments and are considered one of the big trophies to win each year. Normally, the big boys carry the day...

iirc, the rematch of Bama vs LSU a few years back had one of the lowest CFP Championship ratings......am I wrong?

Ummm, no one gets a trophy for being allowed into a tournament. That’s a stupid analogy. Folks like us are advocating for a true playoff system, not a rigged one geared to favor the “big boys”. You continue to ignore that the system in NCAA basketball works BETTER and is more popular than what...

Just wondering why you chose to ignore my post showing Tulane's victory in the Cotton Bowl last year vs. USC? You keep asking for examples but then ignore posts which gives examples.....

Ummm, Tulane beat hallowed USC just last year in a GREAT game in the Cotton Bowl just last year. It can happen. In the Big Dance, those 1 vs 16 and 2 vs 15 games are often blowouts, but so what? For the 5% of the time there’s a major upset, it’s FABULOUS and much more exiting than seeing UT vs...
