Bonnie, like any woman, who imo was as much or more to blame as her husband, would have divorced him as soon as she knew they were going to have to live in a trailer.

I would bet anything she has married up the ladder to some richer man from her church. That is an easy one to imagine. Just think what the typical woman would do. Your vows and the idea of Stand by Your Man only goes as far and long as the $$ keep rolling in.

By the way, my how time flies. I would have sworn this incident happened just a decade or so ago.
To me the point that no one seems to care about is what a mindless 19 yr old thinks he is going to do with the gun. Like do you want to be on the highway with a 12 yr old driving a Mustang GT. NO good can come of it. Too many people who legally carry a gun, especially to a drunken party, are just dying to come up with a reason to use it. Some people fantasize about women, and some fantasize about living in the old west.
I am shocked that Kiper or anyone would rate him that high. Jayden would need another year at LSU to make me believe he is anyway near being an NFL ready draft pick. I hope he doesn´t let money influence his decision.

Got to admit that winning and playing for the championship so often shapes your mindset. Not to even make the playoffs is like having a losing season and missing out on bowl games to others.

However, that being said, it would have been classy for him to have the foresight to stand up and simply praise the other teams for being good enough this year to make the final 4.
A much weaker schedule is a sure fix, followed 2nd by more and more experience.
I picked the final 4 to be Geo, Mich, Ohio St, and Alabama several weeks ago. If K St wins tomorrow I think I will have got it right.

I'll be glad when Georgia wins tomorrow so you guys will quit hallucinating thinking you could ever beat Georgia this year. This was never meant to be your year after game 1.

re: USC moved ahead of LSU because

Posted by SissyBoyFloyd on 11/21/22 at 11:10 am
It's sort of a mute point at this point in time. Reality and order will play out and be evident after this weekend and next. I feel they probably have teams in this order now based mostly on what they feel is most likely to happen over the next 2 weeks.

The winner of LSU/Georgia is the SEC champ and is in. If USC wins out, the PAC 12 champ is in. Whoever wins the Big 10 championship is in. And then it comes down to TCU. If they win the Big 12 that makes 4. I think this would be the ideal for the voters and what they envisioned when they went to a 4 team tournament.

Now if either of the mentioned pac or big 12 teams should fall, then they look at the 2 usual suspects, Clemson and Alabama, and the Big 10 loser if the championship game is a tight one. It would be tough to not take a Conference Champ like Clemson with their record being as good or better than anyone left. I think Alabama and both Mich/Ohio St are better teams than Clemson, but it really isn't a power poll or power ranking, is it?

Sorry, if LSU loses to Georgia, there is just no way they could or should qualify. If they win, I don't see how they could not put them in. If Georgia should lose, it would be the Big 12/Pac 12 champ, or both, that probably gets the shaft.

I could easily imagine a scenario of a losing Georgia and Ohio St both still getting in ahead of all the other conferences. However, there would be a lot of upset fans around the country if the 4 ended up being from just 2 conferences, like Georgia, LSU, Ohio St, and Michigan, even if they were in reality the 4 best teams.

re: Bowl Question

Posted by SissyBoyFloyd on 11/17/22 at 8:16 pm
The thing hated most is whenever Notre Dame is taken ahead of your team. My favorite day of all during football season is any day that N.D. loses.
If Tigers lose to Georgia that will be 3 losses, and likely would be playing a team like 3 loss Notre Dame which I would love to see. It makes my day anytime ND loses. Or one of the 1 loss Carolina teams. I think Michigan would be ideal, but they would probably be Rose Bowl bound, or has that tradition been absolved due to the Playoff structure?

Not sure we will all be clear on the future bowl arrangements until the 2024 season at best. With all the teams changing conferences and a 12 playoff in the near future, it will be a totally new bowl environment in 2-3 years. It will seem really awkward at first.
They will play their best, but Georgia will awaken them from their dream and show them why the Bulldogs have been rated number 1, just as they do most teams. Hopefully the Tigers will get Michigan in a bowl game. That would be an excellent matchup.
Might as well just start your own league and forget everyone else. Make it the:

Yes, I agree I should have Tenn ahead of the Tigers right now.

If Oregon wins out they are in. But they have the toughest remaining games, imo. Utah, Wash, their rival Oregon St which is no slouch, then possibly USC. I doubt either UCLA OR USC with only 1 loss making it over Tenn.

No way they will put the loser of Ohio St/Michigan in.

And that pretty much leaves TCU which I have serious doubts about having to play at both Tex and Baylor back to back. If they win out, they surely deserve to be in.

I guess my favorite final 4 would be:
Michigan
LSU
TCU
Oregon

If I was to bet right now however:
Georgia (or LSU)
Mich or Ohio St (a toss up)
TCU
Oregon

If LSU runs the table and beats Georgia, and TCU falls, Georgia would probably be back in.

If LSU falls to Georgia, and TCU falls, then Tenn would back in most likely.

If LSU, Oregon, and TCU run the table, then the only question remaining is who wins the Mich/Ohio St game.

Win Out and You're In

I can't imagine the Tigers not getting into the playoffs if they win out. I felt this way a couple weeks ago too. I have had Tigers moving high up the rankings to where I have them now:

2022 Power Groupings - Week 10
Georgia (9-0)
Ohio State (9-0)
Michigan (9-0)
TCU (9-0)
Oregon (8-1)
LSU (7-2)
Tennessee (8-1)
UCLA (8-1)
Ole Miss (8-1)
Alabama (7-2)
OT or not, for me the philosophy of any good coach is if you have the chance to win the game you take it every time. That is what you play for. Kicking to tie the game is meaningless, and doesn't show much confidence in your players or play calling ability.

Of course, there could be a rare circumstance that might override that decision, an example being, a momentary injury to a player on one team or the other.

I can't imagine any player not wanting to win the game when they could. A coach choosing not to would seem deflating to me.
Olave in PPR, more catches, and yards.

Burks use in Redzone will produce more TDs.
I am an outsider, so I know what I say won't matter. However, I don't see why all the hate on this site for a new coach. Never seen it anywhere before after just 1 game. Especially such an exciting game with two major opponents. The only thing negative I thought about the coach is his not going for the win after the last TD. I never understand how any coach can instill confidence in his team when they have a chance to win a game outright, and choose to tie it up first instead. When presented with a solid chance to win, why wouldn't you take it, even if you could fail.

The pros for going for 2 and the win are:
1. You have the outcome in your hands
2. You never know what OT will bring, besides a lot more variables
3. You avoid a lengthy OT where more injuries to your team can easily happen
4. You came to win the game and have a chance to, so take it.
5. And in this particular situation: you just marched the whole length of the field with considerable ease on a team that was obviously reeling, and scored an easy TD on a play where your WR appeared unguardable. Why not hurry and run the same or similar play which the other team appeared unable to stop.

The Cons:
1. In a rare case I could see a situation where the other team is obviously totally out of gas, beat down, or injured, and you feel there is no way they can beat you in OT.
2. If you fail at the 2 pt attempt, as a coach you will have to deal with the criticism from some of the fans and media, some of which were the very ones who, at the time, wanted you to go for 2.

No matter what you do, if you lose to a team fans think you should have beaten, the fallout will be the same. So go win the game, the win is staring you right in the face.

The honest truth is that the best thing that can happen to a first time gambler is to lose. If you win it could and often does lead to a bad habit or addiction.

Just be for fun or for a dollar or two vs a friend. It is more satisfying and doesn't lead to a future problem.

Tigers win the game if they go for 2.

Following the ease to which they scored the TD at the end, I was surprised they didn't simply line up and run a similar, or even the same, play to the one they scored on. Probably just me, but when you have a chance to win the game, I would always take it then and there, over taking a chance on the multiple things that can happen in OT. I just have more faith when in control of my own destiny.
