Jim had more political capital because of his success at multiple levels as a head coach. Juwan does not have that. Additionally, Jim broomed his coaching staff to rebuild the culture with a "love" mentality and it doesn't look like Juwan wants to fix the culture (e.g. the Sanderson incident).

It’s telling that he says he’s transferring there because of what it offers him, not what he could bring to them, of which “an upgrade at QB” it clearly is not.

I'm wondering what it would be if the Pac-12 played defense and the Big Ten West played offense. 

This play is what I would've…

This play is what I would've said too - I just couldn't remember which of our vaunted secondary made it!

This is a great write-up. Can I petition to have Junior included on the pass rush though for KFATA? He played hurt and also got a sack.

Dollars to donuts Graham / Jenkins / Grant impacted the Bama center's snapping abilities. I know he had problems during the season, but those three likely compounded them.

I have a fairly large one that cuts down significantly on cook time and preheating time than the oven. I love it, and it’s much better at reheating food than a microwave. We don’t keep it on the counter because it is kind of a counter hog.

 

one thing I’ve recently considered - is it cost inefficient because it uses electricity besides natural gas, and probably a lot at that?

Every year when the banquet happens I have a flashback to RichRod's karaoke skillz

I don't think it's…

I don't think it's traditional to say "we are pregnant" is just wrong. After all, only one of you has to actually carry and birth the kid, not to mention all of the body changes that come with it. 

Definitely approach it together. Physically one person is doing all of the heavy lifting, and understanding that and acknowledging it is a pretty good start.

I think it's simpler than…

I think it's simpler than that - my wife and I chose to have kids and we were fortunate that we were able to have three au natural. Some can't biologically, some struggle mightily, and some just don't want them; that is totally fine by me, although I do sympathize with those who struggle. We are very happy and fortunate to have our family of five plus a doggo.

Someone else's family situation is none of my business and is a waste of time for me to consider. For Mike and his girlfriend, I hope it brings them great joy. Good people tend to be good parents, so I am sure Mike will be a good dad (don't know about gf but I would put money on Mike having a solid partner).  FTR, I don't know Mike either except for seeing his actions on and off the field.  

I hope his girlfriend has an uneventful pregnancy and labor. Cheers to the three of them.

It would be pretty fucking rad if we curb stomp the buckeyes without our head coach 

This has been my impression…

This has been my impression pretty much the whole time. Conor Stalions wanted to look like a savant and used everything at his disposal to do so. This included the advance scouting, which he may or may not have known was illegal. He would then compile that along with other means (All-22, etc.) to come up with his predictions of what play would come next. He probably tried to chalk up his success as an Army captain who could predict the enemy's next move, which probably is true, but he also relied on other means.

I took a step back and realized I should've just not commented on this post. Instead, I went the wrong way and posted three times. I had an emotional response to something that I am clearly still working through. 

Taking my negs and upvoting those who have responded to my comments as penance. 

Stay safe, all.

This post, particularly comparing the CFP to SP+ and AP, is all the more interesting now that "wE'vE pLaYeD sOmEboDy" (obvious /s) on the road. Just goes to show we are better than that group of handpicked individuals in a room. 

Guess we just survive and advance.

Why are you subjecting yourself to that? And why are you sending us a link to subject ourselves to that?

Yes, you’re crazy. Pass pro couldn’t hold up to their elite pass rush, so we didn’t want to risk a pick in a tight game. Instead, we trusted our backs and they came through.

This was very clearly a scripted segment by ESPN for an out for their shoddy initial reporting. Des put out the right argument, but I bet they coordinated this ahead of time so ESPN has an exit from getting egg on their face.

This is pretty spot on. I think they put up a fight early on and then we choke them out, Boagh style. Maybe a little less than 35. 31-10 for me.

If UNC is in, then Duke is too. I think you also add Texas, which probably brings along Oklahoma. OSU is actually a pretty good school for as much as we make fun of the mouth-breathing fanbase. I'd nix Florida.

I only think you accept the fine if they also fine Rutgers, OSU, and Purdue for last year's transgressions and the rest that we may have dirt on. Punishment needs to be uniform. 

I'd rather pay the lawyers instead of the B1G.
