the most annoying possible end to the college football season

Quoted for truth.

Can the NCAA vacate a championship in a playoff that they do not control? That seems unlikely.

I am looking at all the official merch for the Rose Bowl and natty and it is all just so, so bad. Starting to consider bootleg gear just to get something that looks decent and isn't a bunch of word salad: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1635070590/2024-michigan-rose-bowl-shoulder-patch

Much better than the weirdly fascist coded shirts they all wear that just say "HAIL."

Well it was a fun two years bandwagoning the Huskies. At least my lifelong team made a hire that seems good! Maybe UW can poach Leipold or something. I imagine keeping Grubb and promoting him is not an option.

UW has a weirdo regional advantage of a pipeline of religious Pacific Islanders, it’s honestly a very underrated thing.

Is UW's advantage there more significant than the rest of the coastal schools? Big rear end Polynesian dudes are/were a staple of the whole Pac-12 and Mountain West in my estimation.

Actually I think they’re the only team to go 0-12 as a P5 in general. Lots of horrible squads have still had some creampuff on their schedule but UW’s OOC was BYU, Oklahoma and Notre Dame! Insane work by the AD.

I will never understand why like every team uses TEAM VS EVERYBODY.

Yes, that's the basic concept behind team sports. It isn't WWII and the Big Ten is not the Allies.

Athletes all do the Michael Jordan made up adversity thing as a motivator now. Remember 2022 champion Georgia saying nobody believes in them because some writers thought their massive production loss meant they might lose one game?

1. It's really weird to announce you've interviewed a candidate unless that candidate has accepted the job. The Chargers look stupid if he doesn't take it.

2. Man, that sucks for Arizona. They need to bring in some temporary retread coach like Lovie Smith just to try to stabilize things for a year or two.

It does seem like a bad sign that the Arizona program was collapsing to some degree before Fisch even left, so I'm not sure that bodes well for Washington.

Not really sure how guy going from 1 to 5 to 10 wins at a dead end program that was apparently quarter billion in debt is a negative for UW.

In theory an NCAA game could be a big NIL equalizer in that you can throw a little money at every player in college football to use their real name, finally. However, by my calculation, there are around 11,000 scholarship players in FBS.

I think the plan is still $500 and a copy of the game for everyone.

I wonder who they’ll get for announcers. I imagine Fowler and Herbstreit are a target. Sean McDonough would be great too.

I just don’t understand football coach mindset sometimes. I get that it’s not easy to be good on both sides of the ball and that they win games anyway, but why do some coaches refuse to even try? Iowa has had teams that would be national title contenders if they had even an average offense. They always have dudes in the trenches and often even some decent skill guys. Why is it bad to try to break 20 points per game? Why did Narduzzi blow up an offense that won him a conference title?

How many NFL teams even are there that don't have an Alabama guy on their roster?

That stat is also kind of annoying because touchdown passes don't count (I understand why, but you know what I mean). Bart Starr and Ken Stabler certainly must have done that much.

Bart Starr then, who had TD passes in Super Bowl I and II and finished his degree before going pro.

Now tell me throwing TDs isn't scoring.

It feels weird but ultimately it would be like crediting a basketball player with points for an assist.
