My wife is the biggest SEC homer and I love it. She has watched college football her whole life and still doesn't think it exists outside of the south. Last year she was on a research trip with some other grad students from Wisconsin and she asked them if they had a football team.

I've known two couples who just did the courthouse thing on their own time and then later threw a big rear end party at their house as the "reception." Frankly, it owned. No absurd wedding costs or stressful planning for them, no ceremony for the guests to sit through or formal clothing required, just the fun parts.

Because I'd believe it given how some of the SEC fans post.

We considered doing this and basically doing a marriage celebration tour back to Ohio/Pennsylvania so all of our relatives didn't have to fly across the country, but instead we decided to ruin football season for everybody. Plus as soon as we got engaged pretty much everybody we care about started planning their Seattle vacations anyways.

Yeah, my first thought was total BS to try to get some school somewhere to take a flyer because maybe he's not that toxic, but I think he's a few years of from a college gig. Baylor's shithead basketball coach keeps getting jobs, so I think Briles lands somewhere in a few years.

Bliss has had an NAIA gig sandwiched between two high school head coaching jobs. He didn't land that high school job until 5 years after the Baylor stuff. Granted, he was never as hot of a commodity as Briles, but the work he's gotten has been extremely low-profile, on the margins type stuff.

Hi I've got a June trip to the U.S./basic ceremony and an early September wedding reception in Japan planned for next year and also have the fun of (eventually) helping organizing the respective family members who need to fly across the Pacific for each of those. And that on top of what a Japanese reception is going to cost.

yeah yeah college football season rah rah rah but you know what I'll be taking my family to see a day of the sumo tournament in Tokyo so that'll own.

That was mostly my attitude. Our wedding date was picked by the venue since welp when it's free you don't get to pick. Ended up being the same day as VT-UNC but whatever. Only bummer is a good friend(and fellow goon) who is doing the college ref thing and welp can't take two Saturday's off in a season for weddings.

This is a definite bummer. Fall weddings are unavoidable, but for those of us that work with the sport it makes them really inconvenient and difficult to work around.

I did mine in the spring and it owned so gently caress the haters, avoid football season there are 38 other weeks of the year.

Re: wedding dates one of my best friends had his during Game 7 of the NBA Finals last year (it was Sunday, but it was a Jewish wedding so that's standard). There was no TV and I was the only person in the entire building that cared, so I spent the tail end of the reception staring at my phone watching a crappy WatchESPN feed and trying to cover up the barrage of spoiler texts I was getting from a drunk Cavs fan during one of the greatest moments in the history of sports.

Agreed if you have some giant super fancy wedding with a reception at the Four Seasons and a famous wedding photographer and stuff like that. However, if you do something like my wife and I and have your reception at an Elks' Lodge in suburban Michigan, it's pretty inexpensive and super fun.

James Franklin getting paid

[quote="http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20379380/penn-state-nittany-lions-coach-james-franklin-gets-lucrative-new-six-year-deal"
]Penn State has approved a new contract for football coach James Franklin that will average $5.73 million per year for six years, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday.

Franklin was scheduled to make $4.7 million this year under his previous deal. The new contract places Franklin among the five highest-paid coaches in college football along with Alabama's Nick Saban, Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, Ohio State's Urban Meyer and Florida State's Jimbo Fisher.

SI.com earlier reported the terms of Franklin's new deal. The university board unanimously approved Franklin's extension Friday.

Franklin, 45, led the Nittany Lions to an 11-3 record and the Big Ten championship last year -- the team's first since 2008 and first outright title since 1994. Penn State was No. 7 in the final AP poll, its best finish since 2005.

In three years at Penn State, Franklin has compiled a 25-15 record, taking over a program that had been rocked by NCAA sanctions after the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

Penn State has ESPN's No. 3-ranked recruiting class for 2018, which would be its highest spot since ESPN began its recruiting rankings in 2006. The Nittany Lions have 13 commits from the ESPN 300 for next season.[/quote]

He should give most of that money to Joe Morehead imo

You're not. We all saw how the Big 10 teams started losing as soon as they played good teams in the post-season instead of the soft Big 10 schedule.

The most telling thing about Bliss is the way he hosed up that NAIA job. 15 years later or however long it was when that documentary about the Baylor basketball stuff came out for no reason at all he doubled down on "You remember that murder victim I slandered? Yeah he really was a bad guy, drugs all over the place."

I mean....just keep your mouth shut or say you got caught up in a process that you couldn't handle and you screwed up or something. Maybe actually apologize? Don't show everyone that you actually are that slimy.

He behaves like a man who truly believes he didn't do anything wrong. I think he's sold himself on the narrative he came up with in 2005, it's the only way the fiasco last year really makes sense.
