Also a recent ACC power house is North Carolina. In football. Although to be fair they have been trying harder than anyone else in terms of getting players eligible.

I mean, having it go down as a forfeit is less embarassing, so if you want to think of it that way, go ahead.

Harbaugh's thoughts on the championship game:

"Well, I heard it was a great game," Harbaugh said. "I have it TiVo'd. I fell asleep. But I heard it was an incredible game."

https://twitter.com/FanSportsClips/status/818982560885682176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

To be fair, Harbaugh strikes me as the type to get up at 4:15 am everyday to do a workout that includes 5 and 7 step drops.

No, whatever they did was too much. Out of shape people don't really get rhabdo because they listen to their bodies and stop when it's had too much. Rhabdo is what happens when in-shape people ignore their bodies (or are forced to ignore) and continue to exercise well past its breaking point. There's a reason rhabdo is a Crossfit thing and not something you see at your local YMCA.

Oregon being lovely right now doesn't mean their players are FCS cast-offs who would struggle with a high school workout regimen. The kids are in shape, they were simply overworked. This is not a hell week thing where kids are just puking a lot and are more tired because of the system shock, this was just too much conditioning.

e: and it's not to say it's not somewhat understandable as running kids into the ground in the winter as a new HC is just what's done but this was clearly too intense. It's not something they'll adjust to, it's something that will need to be dialed back.

A single guy getting rhabdo is bad luck, even two could be supremely bad luck, but multiple players is a sign of pushing people far beyond their limits. Its super lovely for everyone involved, and I still hold the idea of not attributing to malice what can be attributed to ignorance, but man, someone has got to go for this.

I went to med school and residency. You merely adopted a lack of sleep, I was born in it, molded by it. When my child is born and wakes up every two hours, I will merely laugh, as its time to catch up on youtube vids while I rock you to sleep. You lesser mortals and the need for more than 4 hours of sleep a day will perish.

Yes, I know I will die when I am like 60.

That sounds like bullshit. Using Rivals, Texas had 2 in 2007, 3 in 2009, 2 in 2010, 1 in 2011, 2 in 2012, 1 in 2015, and 1 in 2016. That's 12 just by themselves. Unless Bama's class was 25 5* (which, hey, it's Bama) then it sounds like something someone just ran with or used some retarded metrics to make up.

e: They have 7 on Rivals this year which, while a shitload, is not more than a conference for a decade. There's no way they did more in a year than UT and OU did in a decade, at least not in recruiting.

I think they mean in the last ten years, the Big 12 has never had more than 7 five stars in a given year.

Texas State had the number one recruiting class in the Sun Belt, which hopefully means a season with more than 3 wins is on the horizon!

Most people at Duke don't really care enough about anything other than going to the right law school/med school/corporate job. The whole sovereign citizen thing would get in the way of becoming the perfect yuppie.

Thats a good point, plus I imagine any police interaction between a Duke student and police always has "My dad/mom/uncle is a lawyer!" within the first 30 seconds.

Yeah, one just opened here. In fact, they had a "training night" where you signed up and got a free meal in exchange for rating the service etc. The food was decent, its all soups, slads, and sandwiches.

Yeah, baseball is big in the south, I used to go to a bunch of Florida games. Also, some schools have random programs that are really good and draw a big crowd. My ex-girlfriend in college loved going to the gymnastics meets and they had the O-Dome to over half capacity a few times.

Honestly, they need to make the playoffs 8 teams and give each conf champ an auto bid, the top G5 team a spot, and two at large.

But of course that's a good idea and as long as Jim Delaney is running the big ten, nope.

While I agree, the problem is that by the NCG, the top two teams will have played 12 regular season games, most likely a CCG, then 3 more games in the playoffs. The only plausible solution would be cutting the regular season back a game or two, but even that gives a ton of scheduling and rivalry issues. It could be done, but there are also revenue streams to think of. Or we could just gently caress amateurism and player safety and make teenagers play the equivalent of a full NFL season.

Edit: The NFL probably wouldn't like it either. NFL ratings fell while college went up, and now you are cutting into their playoffs where they are used to being the only game in town. On top of that, front offices would get tired of having to evaluate more and more injured players due to more games.
