    New Movies

    That’s why I said Wes Anderson isn’t for everyone. I like Cohen brothers movies too as well as David Lynch, so I like absurdity. The car mechanic bit had me laughing out loud. But maybe it’s because I had a similar “diagnostic test” when my car broke down in the middle of nowhere South...

    Selective enforcement once again: NCAA strikes again

    Can see a player going to the NCAA and saying, “Hey, they promised to bribe me and broke their promise, can you do something about this?”

    Conference Realignment

    He wants to eliminate every loophole, every possible misinterpretation or trap that can occur, accurately capturing the nuance of the question, while meticulously and precisely answering when his wife asked, “Where were you last night?”

    The state of sports journalism

    I have a very old hardback book (from childhood) that is an historical collection of some of the best writing on football. Amazing that serious writing about this sport used to be standard. Modern writing is sometimes very good with analytics but there is rarely any poetry anymore. And that’s...

    And a job well done, sir. Confirms my suspicions too.

    Conference Realignment

    I tend to agree but Florida has been finding “unique” ways to bend the judicial system the last few years. But, let me play devil’s advocate, and forgive me for going over old ground. The AG can argue the state has a vested interest in this trial because there is a lawsuit originating from a...

    Bottom line, what is FSU going to get out of this?

    No. I’ve thought it through. But I could be wrong. Which is different. 😉

    Conference Realignment

    So, I think what @slugboy was suggesting is that final form simply means with signatures of all the parties. But who knows.

    Conference Realignment

    Yeah, my head hurts trying to imagine the permutations. But, and I’m not saying I believe this or that I’m siding with FSU, but the ACC has a contract with ESPN, and the ACC has a GOR with the members of the ACC. If in any way the members have given the ACC free rein to negotiate the media...

    Conference Realignment

    No. Not cloudy. A rational explanation follows a rational decision making process. I don’t have to agree with the decision to understand that it was arrived at rationally. What we’ve established so far is that Tech’s decision to leave the SEC was a thought out process over time that...

    Conference Realignment

    I don’t know how many people on here are lawyers but I certainly am not. So all of the following is from layman’s ignorance. If a contract between the ACC and ESPN is essentially privileged information only accessible to the parties involved, and GOR is directly impacted by that contract, and...

    Conference Realignment

    Well, we could both get nit-picky, which I didn’t want to do, but technically, making the wrong decision doesn’t make it an irrational decision. Irrational is what FSU appears to be doing, which is, actions with no rationale. I get that you disagree with Tech’s two decisions. That’s...

    Yep. My point was that Tech leaving the SEC and not joining the B1G may have been bad decisions but they were not irrational. Simply making the wrong decision does not mean it wasn’t arrived at rationally. What FSU is doing appears to be totally irrational.

    Leaving the SEC and turning down the B1G may or may not have been bad decisions. Personal opinions will vary. But that is way different from the suicide mission FSU seems to be on. Totally inexplicable unless something else is going on behind the scenes.

    Conference Realignment

    I guess my question is whether we think FSU is just going off half-cocked. Are they just being petulant? I have no idea what their endgame is. But it’s hard to believe a major university with all their resources hasn’t done extensive legal planning with so much at stake. One would think this...
