Same as me. My favorite beer is the "one currently in my hand."

Yeah I tend to catch up on the bball threads to glean info every couple weeks so I have to make sure I know the lingo and nicknames. :) I will read them more regularly once games are being played.

You are scratching here at a basic problem I have with how D1 college football alone has failed to institute a playoff system to determine a yearly "champion" like all the other sports did long ago. It seems to me that "generating fan interest" or "more revenue" should be ignored by the powers...

I haven't worked through the thread yet but have to stop and ask something. "AD" refers to A. Gueye right? Deduction suggests it must but I want to make sure I got the agreed on lingo. It would be clearer is one said "AG" or "Ad" in my opinion though as two cap letters seems more like first...

So yeah, I have thought a lot about CPJ as being both head coach and OC and whether this was the best scenario and was gonna bring it up as an offseason topic.

But see how complex and muddied the situation quickly gets? Because while the defense is on the field CPJ does pay attention to what is going on and already can intervene on his headset to effect the play calling if he decides he wants to. Clearly during the week he has his chance to approve...

That scenario may just be the best evidence of the complete b.s. that is at the heart of college football qua a "sport" built on the back of opinion polls. There is no reasonable way to justify based on objective criteria replaying a regular season conference game as the national championship...

Yeah, don't get bogged down over achieving perfection in determining that year's "best team" in any sport. Patriots fans were nice and snooty about having clearly been the "better team" when Eli and the Giants pulled off a sensational win over them in the 08 Super Bowl. I think having those...

I have wondered about this, however, many coaches call either the offense's or the defenses plays and always have. I suppose we would need to try and run comparisons between CPJ doing it and all the others like Jim Tressel, Brian Kelly, Petrino, Kiffin, Leach, Spurrier, and so many who have...

Well said. It isn't simply that past performance is wholly irrelevant. You are right I overstated in a passion. The problem is the way polling works, especially starting before any games at all are played, plus there being very little inter-conference game play during the season. Both result...

no reason the total games each season can't be further reduced, there are a variety of options possible.

The basic problem is the same this year as it has been for the entire history of D1 college football; namely, the fact that there is not now nor has there ever been a legitimate playoff system as every other college sport at every level (and every professional sport as well) long ago established...

And all of this is completely relevant to the non sequitur claims of GTRX7 above. Since the bias exists the polls follow the bias and that leads to the designation and placement of teams in favorable positions at the end of past seasons as far as bowl games and mythical national championships...

Your arguments are completely irrelevant. Whether a conference has been the "best" by some arbitrary measurements over some period of time has no bearing on if it is the best in a given season or if it is actually top heavy or even in overall decline. The point of bias is that it constrains...

Did you notice original poster's defensive response when I treated him to the same approach he used for Butker by asking "what the original poster's problem was?" When I start a thread "What is Tech93's problem?" you would be correct to read the connotation and insinuation the way I did. And I...

It also makes the talking heads hypocrites as well as transparent. They should just shut up.

I have watched him before games and at scrimmages as well and Butker has unreal talent and an amazing leg. I understand why CPJ says if he works hard at the game he can kick in the NFL one day. This entire thread is built not on his body of work but on one kick at possibly the hardest goal...

its in the manner of addressing some issue where one is more interested in making vague generalizations about other posters, use of "lol" to suggest sarcasm and then in the all capital letters format, and suggesting others are "delusional." Vamos calls it hyperbole but I call it trollin'. :)

He be trollin'

The Pitt fans did an awful lot of booing in the stands as well. I thought only the Eastern Pennsylvanians did that as Phillies fans but I guess it is a statewide affliction.
