ESPN's QBR does fun thing like, pre-game yesterday, having UVA's freshman Colandrea nearly as highly scored as King, and much higher than their SR Muskett, so I always look at it a bit sideways. (Colandrea still scores much better than Muskett, so imagine the beatdown we could've seen if Muskett...

Talk about doing less with more

WR screens are high on the list of “plays that GT has historically never defended well” so karma owes us some good luck on those

2022 GT scored: 35 against WCU 26 against Pitt 23 against Duke (OT) 28 against VT 21 against UNC 2023 GT 28 Q2 Louisville 24 Q2 UNC 22 Q4 UNC 21 Q2 UVA Ok but there’s still time for a couple more

Have we scored 21 points in a quarter more times than we scored 21 points all game last year yet?

Muskett threw two passes and one rush and on the season has very similarly mediocre stats to the freshman, I don’t think he made a difference today. The difference after the defense got their wheels under them could be seen between Colandrea’s first drive and his later ones, not just before that.

I picked 6 but assumed a different set of wins and losses to this point, so now I’m getting greedy.

I actually did mostly mean the slow start about only playing three quarters but I’m not losing sleep over it this game, lol. Even quarters still out scored odd ones 35-10 though, amusingly. Probably want to hit the ground running next week but honestly I feel good about the rest of the year...

Arguably still only played three quarters. ;)

And not with ND closing the gap. Needed Clemson to win by like 40 points

So you’re saying Clemson could end up ranked again??

i think the CW rights came through Bally came through Raycom came through Jefferson Pilot and predated a lot of streaming. It’s a shame Atlanta doesn’t have good carriage, out here on the west coast this is the most GT has been available over the air in years.

Powerade is still Coke ;)

I think people figured out the triple option, but with King’s arm, adding the pass option to every play to create the QUADRUPLE OPTION is the key.

It's not "not a rivalvry anymore" until you *don't* care if they beat you. Like, if we'd lost to Auburn in 2003 or 2005, meh, it would've been about the same to me as losing an OOC game to Miami before they joined the ACC. Cause Auburn as a GT rival was wayyy before my time. But think UGA felt...

Your claim of "overvalued" is purely based in your apparent dislike of the historical path of sports leagues in the US, but that's entirely arbitrary. Many factors went into creating this market vs a market more like in Europe where there are more professional leagues, but it's still a market...

You're right, you didn't say the market inside college football didn't exist for players who wouldn't make the NFL, I misread that. So no need to stress that there is market value to players outside the top 10% of programs. But here's what I take issue with, directly in your words, from your...

I literally said that the players were NOT the only factor. I said the player market wasn't an "independent market" though there's probably a fancier economic term. I said that the talent battle was a relative one to the rest of the available players. Everything you say applies to college...

The existence of competitor leagues that haven't outdone CFB does not disprove the existence of a player market inside the league. Obviously there's a lot of name value in the university programs but that name value won't be maintained for free if they no longer compete in the market for...

I was trying to point out the flaw with what you said. There's no objective standard here, so scaling everyone's talent up or down across the board is irrelevant. It's about being the best. It's an entertainment market, the top draws are based on being the best *relative to everyone else*. If...
