Why would the FCC have any involvement. Do you know what the FCC does?


Would assume he meant FTC

The market has spoken. Everyone is losing money off these BS games. Fans don't care about them. These players now make a million dollars a year, do you think they care about going to get a free gift pack from the Birmingham Bowl?

I would say, get rid of all but 8 of the bowl games, and then let the fans decide on the matchups for those 8 games. This year you could have games like Notre Dame v. Michigan, Texas v North Texas, USC-BYU, etc...
Bowl games made sense at one point. Man, I remember back in the 80s and there would be buzz around "representatives from the Sugar Bowl and the Orange Bowl" being at a game. There was this great mystery like your team was being courted for a date. Bowl games before Christmas were rare and didn't matter for sh*t, even back then (exception being the Holiday Bowl, which always seemed to have crazy arse games). So there was a good month of build up between rivalry weekend in late November, and the bowl games in late December. And your opponent was usually a team you had not seem much live.

So in 1982 there were 16 bowl games, that pitted 32 deserving teams. By 2019 there were 37 bowl games,
Neither Oklahoma or Alabama have a prayer against Indiana. Oklahoma beats Alabama (again) however.
Here is my AU guess...regardless of the order, it is a tough schedule, but half the teams are in the same boat as us with a new coach.

5-Sep Baylor
12-Sep Southern Miss
19-Sep at Miss St
26-Sep Jacksonville State
3-Oct at Georgia
10-Oct Arkansas
17-Oct Florida
24-Oct at Ole Miss
31-Oct LSU
7-Nov at Tennessee
14-Nov Vanderbilt
21-Nov bye
28-Nov at Alabama
Next year is going to be one crazy year in the SEC.
Pavia for sure. We will have had our success against Bama and will again.
Yeah, those will feel like old times. Hopefully there will just be new energy and the schedule hopefully single a return to the 'old days', of not only playing those teams but of the quality of Auburn Football.
Is this accurate? Obviously we don't know the dates yet. Holy hell, I like all the old school rivals being on there, but damn.

They gave up 430 yards to AU. Not sure about that.
LOL how many independent sources are racing to tell their stories to the WarRapport?
Alabama has a few good looking hoes on campus
Gus is past his prime...and his prime was a window of about 8 years from 2007 to 2014. In the years that followed, you can count the number of really big wins on one hand. He must have like 80 million dollars...why don't these coaches ever just quit and enjoy life?

As an Auburn fan I have to agree. Never take Auburn when we are the vanity pick to upset X. For us to pull the upset usually it is a universal guarantee that we will lose, and we pull something out our arse.

That being said, something hasn't seemed right about Bama all year, despite their 9-2 record. It would not exactly shock me if we pulled the upset.
Texas A&M is not going to lose. Should be a fun Friday night watching all the Longhorns in the stands.
Well we know what happened the last time an Alabama coach high tailed it after 2 years. The next one got caught at a strip club on Alabama's dime.

No I get it, I have worked in computer networking for 27 years. I'm just surprised that for as much redundancy is built into their systems. I mean "The file grew beyond an expected size of entries" is a poor excuse. A multi-billion dollar corporation didn't take this into account - or have a proper failover?
