I'm kinda curious about that season for them not knowing much about old timey cfb, they started the season unranked and finished 12-0 and ranked 14th. Not sure how the week 12/13 polls worked (using Wikipedia) as Notre Dame seemingly jumped them when both their records remained unchanged?

TheAlmightyFrog posted:I've often wondered what Tim Couch could have done with this year's or the 2018 defense. Or Jared Lorenzen, or Andre Woodson. Hell, even Mike Hartline. Levis had such a great first game, it's been a little disappointing that they haven't been able to replicate that yet. Dusty Bonner was a pretty decent arm, too. Prime Hal Mumme with this crew would have been extremely fun. Might have also been extremely frustrating, but definitely fun.

For reference, they list Georgia #1 at $2.6 million and Houston #55 at $251,000. (Florida is #12 at $1.1 million, kind of a bummer...) I don't know what the facilities or their analyst/assistant coach budgets are looking like.

Say you're the only person in the nation betting on this game, but if you're betting on it you care. You've got something at stake here. And to see how stupidly you can lose money is very fun. They skip over the bigger name bad beats unless it's really bad because everyone already knows.

https://mobile.twitter.com/RoushKSR/status/1445537299790372869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etwitterkit Not great for UK. McCall is a big loss in the middle, but there is depth at D line behind him. Ali is the bigger concern. So far the only reliable receiver behind Wan'Dale. Somebody is going to have to step up, or get the tight ends more involved.

I don't know who will win the rrs but I can guarantee you Texas will cover. Outside Western Carolina Oklahoma has won by an average of 5.25 points and traditionally the game has been decided by a single score or less recently.

Katy Perry makes generic feel good pop music and also needs to have a full time guest spot on Gameday just to sew chaos and discord

And 40 years later, Iowa goes to another Rose Bowl. Can they exorcise the ghost of Moorhead this time?

This is regularly the case for half the ACC since so much of the conference is tiny private schools, they don't have to share poo poo about what they're spending.

I'd also like to point out that the idea that schools don't even hit 2 million in annual recruiting budget looks incredibly sus.
