I’ll have a couple games on in the background today while I work about the house and yard.

During Iowa/Iowa State - “put the biscuit in the basket”

Del/CU - 0% surprised Sanders is the type of guy to comment on a sideline reporters outfit while she’s working ☹️. Players doing well and playing with a sense of fun though.

Break in the game commentary on FoxCFB, anyone else notice the bug in bottom left corner that said Iowa State Ames High versus Iowa Hawkeyes? 😂

One of the best championship matches to date.

☹️ stream died right before the Hounds kick

But the question remains, how would things have gone for Kiffin in Knoxville if he never bolted for Southern Cal on that January night 15 years ago?

Walls: “(We) Would have won some SEC Championships. We just might have had to give some of them back. We probably would have had to give some back. But we would have won some because the dude was a master recruiter.”

Wild. This is the sort of stuff that absolutely baffles my non-US family when I try to explain non-professional college football to them.

Lame, Barnes. Refs are part of labor, side by side with players for love of the game, capable of managing the game because players respect them. Players do not respect refs because a rich CEO tells them to.

Barnes on the other hand exposes himself as a bootlicker to the elite.

Wisconsin @ NU. Meltdown in the final quarter by the team in red and white.

Without looking, which team do you think is drawing penalties left and right?

Ssssh, don’t talk about Nebraska looking good this season lest the curse start paying attention to us again after finally being drawn away by Colorado.

Ideal state: we stay off the rankings list until, surprise! We’re playing for Big 10 championship!

Is this start for real or am I in a fever dream?

Here for CU @ NU. Flu shot yesterday is making me feel like shit and I want to feel hype but will settle for sitting upright. gbr

Then comments calling out the unnecessary, ham-handed gendering should be expected data points.

I missed the game live, but my brother’s short assessment after the game was “Colorado coaching with emotion, and not the good kind”. Sums it up pretty well now that I’ve had the chance to watch some clips.

Yes. At the time I’m commenting, 1 out of 2 questions on the “women’s” question is about the gendered nature of the question itself (50%). And 2 out of 11 on the “mens” (18%). The dataset has already been “polluted” as you describe, by the design of the questions.

Missing the obvious: how much did Pitbull pay?

Edit: $6.2 million. Which for ten years…? Idk, that seems reasonable for someone with too much money.

Thanks. Off to shop for crab meat.

Player allegiance is to their team most of the time, not a school, not a geographical region, not a fan base. If a leader who was a substantial part of what made the team “the team”, then players should be able to go search out a new team.

Coaches contracts have managed to work this out. They stick out their contract or they pay (or get their next school to pay). Schools keep coaches to end of contract or they pay.

I don’t want to see players limited in ways coaches aren’t. They only get a few years to play college ball, while coaches get decades. Let the players take their best shots. It’s crazy now because it’s new, things will settle down after a couple seasons. Maybe NIL contracts start looking different to encourage players to stick around 3+ years.

Yeah, they’re a farm system. Same as Power 5 is for the NFL

We’re just getting closer to admitting that truth and paying the athletes for their work in the minor leagues, er, I mean college. And maybe someday soon we’ll come to grips with how outrageously oversized the minor leagues are compared to the majors.
