  1. The let them score until they tire themselves out and then catch up to them and surpass them on the path to victory strategy doesn't win very often.
  2. 11 years? Well at least he’s got plenty of room available on the slide down to the defensive position spectrum.
  3. He was reading this forum over the weekend:
  4. Back with McCan't.
  5. Any planned shenanigans for the draft lottery?
  6. Tom Emanski thinks so.
  7. If the resume didn't have the name of the resume holder attached to it, I think it'd be easier to believe the resume. I think the perception and bias creeps in a bit too much. The 12 team playoff is a step in the right direction. Bring back a BcS type of formula to enhance it.
  8. Betting favorite or on field favorite? I absolutely agree with you on the former, but I don't think that should be a part of the criteria. I know St. Nick called that out yesterday as a feather in Alabama's cap, but that shouldn't necessarily be a bullet point in their favor. How many games were Michigan and TCU the betting favorites or underdogs? Are those discussion points? Nobody is bringing up betting lines to assign seeds to Michigan or Georgia, are they?
  9. I wouldn't move Greene for Reynolds. I'm good with moving Soto, but I don't think he has all that much trade value because of his awful walk rate.
  10. Sure, just like they were going to dismantle Texas, Texas A&M, Tennessee, LSU, Ole Miss, and Austin Peay.
  11. I don't think so. It'll be Georgia at 1 and Michigan at 2. I think we can all agree on that happening. I believe TCU will be at 3 as they lost their only game, the 13th game, a championship game, in OT. TCU also beat Kansas State earlier in the season. So, they did beat everybody in their conference and on their schedule. Ohio State's loss is to a better opponent than TCU's loss was to, but that loss was at home and the game was in hand before any OT was needed. Perhaps one of OSU's wins is better, but the loss stands out. I'm not convinced who will be at 4.
  12. Any ranking with Alabama in the top 4 cannot be taken seriously.
  13. The interesting case would be what if they kept the lead in Salt Lake City and then lost this PAC12 championship game in a similar manner? Then we're talking about USC in 2nd/3rd heading into this weekend, but solidly remain top 4 in spite of the loss because of the additional game argument with the Williams' injury tacked on. Who knows, maybe they still stay top 4 because of those reasons? Essentially we're talking the difference of 1 minute of play in 780 minutes in the season for USC. Think about that, their bowl assignment is possibly swung by 0.128% of their season.
  14. Memphis Grizzlies vs Detroit Pistons
  15. 4. How does Toledo sneak into the playoffs after winning the MAC championship?
  16. I’m sure it’s a long shot, but Brian Reynolds has requested a trade out of a Pittsburgh. He has 3 more seasons of control through what should be his prime seasons and that’s an organization that can make mistakes. I don’t know what Scott Harris is doing right now, but I’d hope he’s chatting up the Pirates about how he has some quality pieces to move.
  17. Ok, so the current system isn’t perfect, and even the bump to 12 playoff teams won’t be perfect. But isn’t it better than when only 2 teams advanced to a championship game and an undefeated Auburn was left out of it? Heck, even before that when there was no system to automatically match up a 1 vs 2 in an end of season bowl game, that kind of seems like ancient history anymore.
  18. One team had at least one player prepared for that situation. The other did not.
  19. 10 point swing on one play. That Georgia kid was so wise to keep his knees off of the ground as he looked at the sidelines. He probably should have just scooped it and ran, but at least he didn’t head off elsewhere for a celebration.
  20. Nope, I’ll never root for him or whatever institution he represents.
  21. Maybe. Maybe not.
  22. Yes, correct, there’s no reason OSU should be ahead of TCU.
  23. Hmmmm…. And I assumed the diarrhea last time was from the PBR.
  24. Back when we were all so young and innocent.
  25. You know what the upcoming new playoffs needs? A couple of midweek play in games hosted in Dayton to determine the 11th and 12th seeds. 11 vs 14 on a Tuesday and 12 vs 13 on a Wednesday, winners advance play vs 5 & 6.
