Or a failed 4th down away (one of at least 4) against UF from never winning any

It's all a razor thin line in coaching

I will say beef tallow on my potatoes in the air fryer makes them really tough to stop eating when they are done

Better than Ghee IMO

2000s: Boise State Broncos (112 wins, 17 losses)


Who was power 4/5/6 program with most wins?

It was a number of schools winning a lot of games but no one dominant type team in the 2000s. OU, OSU, USC, LSU, UF TX all had some good runs going but none of them were dominant at all. Bama started toward the tail end there but not the first half so they weren't a leader all time

Interesting question.

There have likely been "better" coaches without a national title, and he won one and competed for a couple more

However, he could be frustrating to watch even as an outsider. I can only imagine what it was like as an LSU fan being down 10 points with 5 minutes left in the game and he is running a toss on 3rd and 3.

Has this been the worst predicted Finals?

On ESPN it was 29-3 for the Thunder and more than half of those were Thunder in 5 games

I'm trying to think of a bigger upset and the upset hasn't even happened :lol:

re: *EDIT* Shams: Knicks request interview with Jason Kidd, Mavs reject

Posted by Buckeye06 on 6/11/25 at 4:06 pm
I'll ask the obvious question;

Can they in any way know they have permission before they fire their coach? Like can they call the Mavs up a month ago, do an NDA and say "we think we may fire our coach can we interview yours if we do"?

Why would any NBA team say "sure interview our current HC" unless they want to get rid of said coach then the team interviewing may not want the interview

re: Bengals first round pick DE Shemar Stewart continues to sit out of training camp

That's a lot better than the other team in Ohio. The Browns have 2 players accounting for 41% of their cap space. One of which isn't going to play for them and the other is on defense.


Depends on the players. If you are paying a QB, a LT and a DE 40% those are 3 premium positions

If you are paying 2 WRs and a safety, you have problems :lol:

Burrow said Hendrickson needs to be paid by the Bengals. Why did you leave that out?

They haven’t done what Burrow asked.


If they signed Hendrickson to his "market value" then they are going to be at like 60% of their cap with just 4 players.

They needed to cut ties with Higgins or Chase. It isn't some easy decision, but you can't have 3 players taking up 45% of the cash and have them all be "skill" guys

I grew up in Houston Texas as a massive rockets fan.

My parents won a ball signed by the entire 93 Suns team who went to the finals at a silent auction.

So maybe not strange but strange for a rockets fan

Well they play in an overrated conference so when they play teams who are better than the teams they play in conference they lose often

I know this happens annually but Miami has a manageable schedule.

Home vs ND to open home against UF

Road games look manageable. Does 10 wins get them in?

bowl games stopped being a valid point of reference of actual team strength when the BCS was abandoned and opt outs by players became a virus -


But OSU beating both Texas and Tennessee in the playoffs, when players are not opting out, should at least count?

I understand what you are saying re: the non playoff bowls though to an extent (although I would argue Michigan was playing far less people than Bama was in their game)

The only reason he has a title is because they expanded the playoffs to let his team in.


OSU last year would have been in the 4 team playoff and it's not really even that close

Let me show my work

OSU was ranked 6th in the poll behind Oregon, UGA, ND, TX and PSU. TX and PSU both had 2 losses and both lose CCGs. The committee said that beginning in 2024 CCG losers would not be penalized

OSU beat PSU head to head. Prior to 2024 when they did punish CCG losers (see UGA in 2023), PSU would have been behind OSU when it lost the B1GCG.

TX had how many top 25 wins? 0? OSU had 2 top 10 wins, with one being over the aforementioned PSU @PSU. They also beat playoff team Indiana by 20 points. TX' best wins were 2Ls to UGA

OSU would have been 4th in the playoff poll, played Oregon in the Semis (we all saw that game), while UGA and ND played (we also saw this game). Then OSU would have played ND in the finals (hell we also got to see this game).

Same result
