Why do you guys continue to whine? It’s seriously all many of you have these days. In 2-3 years fans in America will continue to be getting g excited in August for another awesome season, just like they have for over 100 years. If you can’t handle other teams winning games then that’s on you.

It won’t be long until SEC fans start chanting “Go Big Ten” no different than they slobber knocked all over Bama and UGA when they were winning. SEC fans ride the coattails of every success group. This thread would have been mocked 5 years ago yet today actual SEC fans are nodding that the SEC should join the BIG. It’s just all so glorious watching the downfall. I’m a southern football fan and can’t believe the limp waisted SEC fans are wanting to align with businessmen in Chicago. What happened to the SEC?

This is who Fried is now. It’s why the Braves didn’t pony up for him. He had 1 magical post season start for Atlanta - 1.

I’m a Redskins fan and while he sure is talented he simply doesn’t have the traits to lead a team to a Super Bowl win as a QB. But, he’ll have a nice career and win some games.

Deion is a smart businessman. He and Colorado got what they both wanted. Colorado got positive press to breathe life back into their program and Deion got to coach his sons and Travis at a D1 school. It’s a,ways been travel ball and Deion pulled it off. That he can’t really coach is far down the list of what Colorado or Deion wanted.

The GT/CU game is a perfect Thursday night prime time game to maximize eyeballs for both teams. It also gives GT an extra 2 days of rest before Tennessee. And you can’t just move games from stadium to stadium, GT has done it when it’s profitable for the ND’s and others over the years but when we do we are basically giving up a hime game for money which we had to do. There was a lot of debate about moving the Tennessee game to MBS to make more money (I thought we should have) but now that we are actually a solid team I also see the side that says we should give ourselves the best chance to win which would be worth a lot of good press and ranking. Now, we just need Tennessee to cooperate, although I’m sure they have other plans.

ND is chicken$hit not to join a conference when they can make money NOT joining one? Some of you are flat out morons.

ND hasn’t won a Natty in forever, yet TV execs still throw money at them like they are printing it. ND co tells its own fate season to season while you guys are on this very board whining about Sankey. It’s just too funny. ND will win one soon enough and then like after UGA won it all the memes will have to disappear.

I can’t wait for future generations to put big ole asterisks next to all the non-playoff titles. Most of us may be dead but it will still be funny.

Bama and LSU do have rich alumni. But if schools like Stanford, Vandy, and others decided to they would run circles around Bama and LSU. But, the reality is those schools got that way not by buying things that don’t really matter which football doesn’t. Stanford and Vandy know where the real money is and that is what they pursue. But, if they ever decided to they could buy whoever they want for football.

We’ll all see how it shakes out over the next decade. No one predicted Indiana would go from a bottom feeder team to an undefeated Natty team with a former no name Cal QB no one in the SEC recruited even though he’s from Florida.

The SEC has been recruiting off stars and now with the portal they have a lot more work to do. Gonna be a fun season seeing who it pays off for.

Anyone who uses polls or stats over in field results is a moron. We all watched Ole Miss beat UGA and yet someone posted this ranking? It’s absurd and exactly what is wrong g with college football. People would rather point to rankings instead of who actually won the games. It’s just weird.

They are being purposefully obtuse and praying to god that an SEC team wins the Natty this year. It’s all they have. When 80% of SEC fans realized their own team had no chance they began the “SEC” chant and ESPN knows this fan group will fall for anything so they marketed it to the max.

Unfortunately for SEC fans (which I’m one) the days of winning 1 or 2 games to claim a BS Natty are over. You now have to play a series of strong teams back to back to back - and so far the SEC hasn’t handled it well and their myth of saying they play strong teams every week is being exposed. The one team last year who can actually say that was Miami. They played a strong ACC schedule, lost some games along the way, but got better week to week and blew thru Texas A&M, Ohio St, and Ole Miss like it was nothing. That’s what most SEC fans can’t handle.

Indiana just win a Natty and some SEC fans believe it’s 2021.

The entire sport has changed now that everyone is willing to buy players. We are still in the early stages of NIL. Every year more and more teams are coming online - and a lot of these teams have very deep pockets and they aren’t in the SEC. The SEC has the fans and the stadiums but they lack the deep money outside of 5-6 teams (Texas, A&M, Vandy, UGA, and Bama), I don’t see LSU having the deep money it will take over the next decade to buy the big time players.

ND has to do it first, but there is no doubt they will fairly soon.
