Transferring programs isn’t necessarily a bad thing in terms of development for the NFL. It can expose a player to more coaching styles and systems. They learn more than just Coach X’s way of doing things.

Would you rather your kid go through 9-12 in high school and have the same good math teacher every year or different (but equally good) math teachers every year? There are pros and cons to both, but some degree of variety is generally good for growth.

2) Less culture shock moving to the NFL. They have already adapted to totally different locations and circumstances 2-3 times.

3) Possibly better evaluation. If Tommy Touchdown burns it up at Texas and then goes over to Michigan and does there too (or wets the bed) in different circumstances, NFL teams probably have a better read on him.

And let’s not forget that arguably the two best quarterbacks in CFB history for one year (Newton and Burrow) were transfers who also became good NFL players. There are success stories in all circumstances, and it’s up to the players to decide what’s best for themselves.

Coordinators who didn’t work out.

80% of winning in football (at any level) is talent acquisition. You can be an X’s and O’s savant as a coordinator, but if you don’t have the charisma and salesmanship to bring in the studs, it’s not going to matter. And if you can reel in the big fish and hire good assistants to do the actual coaching and be a good enough leader to keep the car on the road, then you can get away with being unremarkable on the technical side.

At the end of the day, being a coordinator and head coach at the college level are two very different things. It’s hard to predict what you’re getting when a coordinator sits in the big chair. But if I were an AD hiring, my first inquiry would be how good of a recruiter Coach X might be. If he’s just some Rainman who knows ball from A-Z but has the personality of a cardboard box, it’s not going to work.

What does?

The problem with modern women in the United States is simple: they lack a healthy fear and respect.

The world is too safe and easy for women. In 2026, they can make big money pushing buttons at a desk in an air conditioned building - or sell themselves sexually on everything from billboards to OF. The nearest formidable enemies are thousands of miles away, and they can call 911 at any time if they are in danger.

They no longer live in a world in which physical strength and toughness are necessary to provide food, shelter, and resources. There are no barbarians at the gates. They aren’t out in some remote camp where the only thing to protect them is the man they’re with.

And all of those are good things (aside for the oversexualization) except for the fact that it all rests on the backs of countless good men over many millennia - and women don’t respect that. All they see is the patriarchy and oppression - although none of those bitches would want any part of medieval labor, warfare, or living conditions if sent back in time with all the same rights AND responsibilities of the men of that era - or really any era. They wouldn’t want to build the Hoover Dam or run up Omaha Beach either.

You just can’t satisfy them. And blacks are the same way. LeBron James doesn’t wish Europeans had left Africa alone and he had been born in some shithole like Senegal. None of them do.

And while I’m on my soapbox, all immigrants do is bitch about the U.S. and intolerance, etc., when the countries these frickers come from don’t have anywhere near the freedom and diversity of this country. Someone from Somalia criticizing the U.S. is like the backup QB for TCU (and future insurance salesmen) saying Patrick Mahomes sucks.

I sure wish white men would collectively stop trying to appease the haters and tell them all how damn lucky they are to be here. It hasn’t always been perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than what they would have without the labor and ingenuity of white men.

I don’t apologize for slavery and colonialism anymore than a sports team should apologize for dominating teams during a dynasty run. We didn’t do anything anyone else wasn’t trying to do at the time. We were just better at it.

They’re all perpetual victims trying to weaponize guilt to strip whitey of power and resources. That’s all it is. And the dumbass white women are helping them.

frick this.

Even well-meaning immigrants will naturally change your culture and politics if you allow enough of them into the country. I don’t want to hear Spanish everywhere, see mosques on every street corner, see soccer balls kicked all over the place, and see a white man have no chance at the presidency anymore.

Unfortunately, I think we are past the point of no return on a lot of the long term consequences of mass immigration.

They both would have easily beaten some of these national championship teams from other years. They just happened to go up against the greatest head coach since Bear Bryant in his dynasty run. Very bad timing for both.

---

Bama just had the mental edge in both games.

1. 2009: UF was a little fat and happy with enormous expectations to carry all season. A lot of their key players had two titles already. They had the emotional Tebow send off at the Swamp the week before plus the Carlos Dunbar suspension. Meanwhile, Bama hadn’t won shite in forever and had a year to stew over the 2008 loss.

2. 2011: It’s hard to beat a good team twice, especially when you didn’t think you might have to.

Bama deserved the title both years, and I am not necessarily saying they weren’t the best team. However, LSU did beat them and UF certainly could have.

4. Spending someone else's money on someone else: (Such as government welfare or public spending) Nobody sees this as their money, so nobody cares about the cost or the efficiency.

This is so fricking true and extends beyond just money.

All these celebrities may not think anyone is “illegal on stolen land,” but you can bet your arse they are if caught hanging out on their personal property.

As for the helipad, I think it looks good and is needed.

The fact that institutions of higher learning are tethered to these awful financial situations is insane. It’s crazy that we live in a society that values mercenaries throwing and catching a pigskin more than the pressing needs of a college campus. It’s probably every major university that has donors doing this too. There’s a big picture here somewhere.

The spirit of college football is simply incompatible with high stakes multibillion dollar entertainment.

This is why I don't go on rides at the fair. I'm not trusting my life to a ride that was assembled by an otherwise homeless person that smells like cabbage and probably has more fingers than teeth (who, no doubt is likely missing some fingers).

Yeah.

I live 13 miles from SFOG. I have ridden Goliath many times. Ridden all the super coasters at Cedar Point, Magic Mountain, and other places.

An accident like this doesn’t concern me anymore than a car accident or plane crash. Accidents are going to happen sometimes, and that is just the risk you take when you walk out your door. But I won’t ride anything at a fair. That’s more like getting in a car with someone who’s been drinking.
