These were the numbers for FBC. I somewhat agree that larger viewership probably exists because basically these are the only teams that exist in these markets, but at least it shows that viewers consider these good and exciting games to watch.
The Montana at Montana State FCS semifinal game on ABC was the most-watched FCS playoff game on record, averaging 2.8 million viewers.
ESPN2’s Illinois State at Villanova game averaged about 400,000 viewers. The average of 1.6M viewers is the most-watched semifinals since 2009.
For comparison, last year’s FCS semifinals had two games on ABC, which draws more eyeballs than ESPN2. SDSU at NDSU on ABC averaged 1.58M viewers. South Dakota at Montana State on ABC averaged 1.37M. Last season’s title game of NDSU vs. Montana State on ESPN drew 2.41M.

re: What is the general consensus on shallowing club through hip rotation

Thank you for making it real.
If a player is venturing into trying to make any type of swing change or adjustment, it needs to have a clear reason and purpose. And that is to create a swing that allows the golfer to shoot lower scores.
Three basic things that a swing should do: Get the ball in the air, get necessary distance, and hit it straight.
Getting fitted with the proper club and shaft, and then using that technology to improve your game should be the starting point. Go to an expert, and get properly fitted. That way you are not adjusting or fighting getting used to the clubs.
Getting lessons are helpful, but just because they have electronics and cameras doesn't mean they are going to be helpful in the way you need help. That is because every swing is not the same.
And actually, the key to better improvement is... practice. And practice with a purpose. The swing is basically this, the shoulders rotate and the hips turn. The purpose is to load up the swing with energy, maintain it down and through the hitting zone (so as not to cast your hands), and keep the momentum going all the way to the follow through. Trying to dive into the hitting zone to create more distance or height, or whatever is not the best strategy. Work on timing first, then consistency, and let your natural swing work.

re: Easiest solution for the G5 problem

If anyone is following the FBC playoffs, it has been fun and entertaining. The level of football is actually quite good. It has been good for these universities because it puts like teams against each other.
Sad but true, we have to admit that putting in Tulane and JMU in the playoffs seemed logical, however, it didn't seem reasonable. I would like to see someone, if it is the NCAA, to create another division that would allow conferences like AAC, CUSA, MAC, MW, PAC10, and the Sun Belt to have their own College Playoffs in Football. Just in Football, if they want to have it for Baseball, or Women's Sports, they can work that out.
But I think it would be better overall, generate greater interest for more colleges and their followers, make it where the top programs get a better chance of getting into the FBS playoffs (would Vanderbilt and Notre Dame been better games than throwing Tulane and JMU to the lions?). I think it would also help promote local High School football knowing even if a player didn't attend a SEC or Big 10 team, they could still play in a playoff game and get a good education.

I would like someone to explain to me what someone would do with 90 million dollars. How many cars can you buy, fancy restaurants eat at, homes you could buy... I mean, really.
I know that Ole Miss has offered Kiffin an extension on his contract and he hasn't signed it due to what he sees as Ole Miss' failure to deal effectively with payments to players. Is anything going to change that from now till Friday? I hate to see the players for Ole Miss to be the ones that suffer because of all this.
This is big though, Kiffin will definitely dominate at LSU.

Kenny Dillingham has moved up to a 300/1 odds. I think this is mostly due to him being a good offensive minded coach while still utilizing the defense to keep you in the game. This is SEC style football. Arizona St has surprised a lot of people for how they manage to stay relevant in the rankings. Very similar to how we went about hiring Saben from Mich St.

Not sure which district this may be, but this may be a move to get Kelly Loeffler (Secretary of Small Business Adm) into Congress and have someone more stable from the state of Georgia.
re: Riddle me this - Overdrawing the ball
Posted by Remnant on 11/15/25 at 8:43 am to TaderSalad
Always a good idea to check lie and loft, they can have an effect on how shots behave. If you are getting too much of a hook or draw tendency in your shots, it is likely your swing path and timing that are the issue.
Lay down some training sticks and take a video of your swing on your cell phone. Is your left side clearing too soon? Are you losing your lag at impact too soon? Is your follow-through ending up over your left shoulder (assuming you are right handed) when it should end up next to your left ear.
Try this... stick a tee all the way down in the ground about 8 inches behind the ball, do the same about 8 inches in front. When swinging make sure the club head goes back over the tee, on the downswing over that tee again, and then continues over the tee in front. This will help time your left side better.

This shot is actually harder than most golfers realize. Pros on tour practice this shot for hours. Generally, there are two major parts of the swing that you need to discipline. First, the initial take away; if you are hinging your wrists too quick and yanking the club backwards, you may chuck or blade the shot. Next, the emphasis should be more of the left hip turning and clearing rather than having the right knee dip down toward the ball at impact.
Another issue is that people try hitting the 60 degree wedge from that distance. It is asking too much of yourself to do this, rather purchase a 58 degree wedge if you are needing it more from the fairway and around the green.

re: NFL coach better suited for LsU
Posted by Remnant on 10/28/25 at 12:17 pm to lsutigers23
College Football has basically become more professional-like, NFL Coaches know how to deal with all that. Plus, need to be original in how to beat other SEC teams. NFL Coaches generally are better at managing their assistant coaches. John Gruden is out there... "You got to feel it."
