    Conference Realignment

    I would normally think that our game tonight's announcing would be dominated by the FSU thing. Hopefully Wes keeps things on track. Otherwise, bring it, FSU. I hope there's some sort of punitive action that can be enacted against them for this, when it hopefully fails.

    That's right - my bad. Thanks for linking to that. I must've been thinking of the agreement with ESPN.

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    So why has no one picked him up yet? Indiana - Indiana - fired their defensive-minded head coach after 3 losing seasons. He was picked up as a P4 DC less than a month later.

    Conference Realignment

    Another fun thought: No one has seen the GOR document, so no one really knows what the terms are - correct? So we're all basing a lot on speculation here. As I understand it, the idea is that to leave the ACC, FSU will owe a $120m exit fee, plus whatever the 12 years of media rights are worth...

    Conference Realignment

    I mean, it worked for them before, when all the other schools rolled over and gave them unequal revenue sharing for bitching, moaning and complaining so loudly. So we're partially to blame for continuing to enable the toddler behavior. But yeah, I think that's exactly what they're going to try...

    CFP Discussion

    As someone who embraces the chaos of college football...this is the scenario I long for. - Michigan wins the CFP - The NCAA strips them of wins due to recruiting violations (or whatever else they're under investigation for) - FSU beats Georgia in the bowl game (without their starting QB, and...

    Conference Realignment

    My son wants the giant Lego star destroyer in the next 2 weeks. But unfortunately, he made some choices (spending his money elsewhere) that have precluded him from getting it. I’m interested to see what FSU tries to do to get out of the GOR and the exit fee that they agreed to. Indications are...

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

    ESPN has us at #35. Vandy is at #45 and Syracuse at #50. Now…what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? For me, it re-emphasizes the notion that ratings are biased, and remarkably unscientific.* Our last coach focused on recruiting ratings, probably more than he did playing...

    Love hearing Buster speak. And loved the comments about Jamal Haynes about 5:00 in. Awesome.

    The Changing Face of Football in America

    There have been some interesting advances in helmet technology over the past 5-6 years. While none have changed the standard helmet format, many have developed new impact materials to address the heavy collisions. VICIS was doing some really good things, but ran into funding issues - related to...

    Yep. We've also seen this movie before...only it took even longer due to a national championship game.

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

    Per the NIL rules, pay for play is not allowed. At all. Hard stop. (But all the boosters who think they can buy a championship for their school are basically thumbing their nose at the NCAA until it tries to enforce anything. And given the way things have been going for the NCAA on these sorts...

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    Agreed on DC & HC being different. That being said, I've thought about this quite a bit, when thinking of TFG's future job prospects. I'd have to go back and look again, but an interesting thing came up - IIRC, at most places he's been DC, he came into a situation where things were going...

    +1. That 1990 run left a huge mark on my childhood (well, pre-teen) years. Was an incredible year as we traveled to all the tournament games and stayed at the team hotel. I still remember talking to Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott, and Brian Oliver, and standing at the breakfast buffet next to...

    Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

    I've never been much of a Penn State fan...but I seriously wouldn't wish that on anyone. And I always appreciate your posts. Hoping y'all dodge a bullet on this one. Even if he would be cheap, he should really be paying YOU to let him anywhere near your team. (And even with our buyout, he...

    Jamal Haynes, Singleton & Rutherford (good news)

    Agreed. So back to it, the English Breakfast tea latte from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is really as good as it gets.
