    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    Maybe TFG thought that scores were signed 8 bit numbers and thought opponent scores would roll to a negative number after 127?

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    I wonder how long this thread will get now?

    Conference Realignment

    When TX and OK left the B12, other teams couldn’t stand them, and B12 teams hadn’t liked TX for years. But, when TX and OK left, they were clearly executing the last move of a multi year chess strategy. I don’t know what game FSU is playing, but I don’t see the strategic insight. Whatever...

    Conference Realignment

    Another legal “argument”: ESPN violated their agreement with the SEC by interfering with the CFP committee, which is tied in language to the ACC grant of rights. It’s not a terrible argument: the GOR is tied to ESPN providing fair business value to the ACC and member schools, and ESPN failed to...

    Conference Realignment

    I was hearing this morning that FSU will test the GOR in court without announcing their exit. I’m not a lawyer, but suing to be able to get out of a contract but not actually get out of the contract might be difficult to get standing on. Plus, the venue wouldn’t be Florida. Edit: lol 😂, jinx...

    Conference Realignment

    If ESPN had another greenfield market, that wouldn’t matter. Disney would let ESPN continue to grow. It’s about growth rates. Disney also bought Pixar and Marvel and LucasFilm at the top—or at least at high valuations. Different kinds of stock are allowed different multiples. ESPN wasn’t a...

    Conference Realignment

    If you compare them to the CBS’s and the NBC’s of the world, ESPN has been like Facebook (a growth stock) while NBC has been like Whirlpool (slow growth and pays dividends—not much innovation). What’s going on is that ESPN is shifting from a “you can spend money like it’s water” growth phase...

    ACC 2023-2024

    Notre Dame lost Brey. Payne is falling apart at Louisville. How did FSU end up struggling?

    Conference Realignment

    It’s not being cut. FSU has to provide the games to the ACC. Your assumptions are wrong. The only way out for FSU is not to play any games—then they get sued and lose.

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    Miami, FSU, and Clemson are elite. UNC, NCST, VT, GT, and Stanford a little behind that. Then Pitt, Louisville, etc. If you aren’t Miami, FSU, or Clemson, the question is “how did I address team needs in this signing period?”. UVA and BC did not kill it this year. Different services give...

    Conference Realignment

    Why would the ACC fail to produce FSUs games? They have the exclusive broadcast rights to them, and guaranteed access to do so, no matter which conference FSU may be in. Also, ESPN is not running low on ad dollars. They’re making huge amounts of money. Their issue is that they’ve had ridiculous...

    ACC 2023-2024

    As a team, I would like to obliterate Duke every time we step on the court. Someone on Duke Basketball Report is doing a decent job covering the rest of the ACC, though. So, *#%! Duke, but I’ll hold my nose and share this article...

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    The transfer portal just opened, and it’s open into early January, plus there’s a Spring window. Even if I cared about the 247 grades, I wouldn’t care about the transfer grades yet. It’s too early. At the point, what I want is a great RB and some talented interior DL, and we have time for that...

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    On which board? We’re 34 on Rivals and 37 on 247. The NFL draft talking heads are silly, but at least they look at team needs vs who the team drafted. I don’t think Key cares about our class ranking. I’d like to see a few interior DL incoming transfers. I think we can find someone good.

    Conference Realignment

    US News isn’t the best rating service, but it existed when not much else did. Take it for what it’s worth. Still, they had to break the x axis to get Liberty on the graph. That’s bad.

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    I would understand if he doesn’t think he should take all of the blame, but how do you look back and not say that the majority of problems were from your own causing?

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    This is like the football games where people are watching through different TV providers, and some people are two plays ahead of others.

    Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

    The next two days are early signing day(s) — Wednesday December 20 - Friday December 22. We have players going into the portal before Signing Day. Some of these players may be getting time in the bowl game. No way for me to really know. Some are on the depth chart. Key said that bowl practice...
