I hate the Bham area, but Hoover isn't a bad host site.
"All sports"

I am of the mindset that "all sports" are not the same. If there isn't a competitive athletic element with an offense and a defense that can affect the other contestant(s), is it really a sport or just an athletic achievement?

Just depends on age and where you grew up/live.

Lot of truth there. For instance, I hate any success that UTk athletics may have. I couldn't care less about AU. And, actually find myself pulling for them more often than not, especially given how awful their football became. Maybe a Russian is the answer. But, frick UTk in general.

Fans of each are really pretty decent. I just hate that stupid orange school. Nothing personal.

Other coaches aren't signing a full team of 23+ year old

Then, that is their loss.

What was IU's avg player age in CFB this year?

If the rules allow it, get over it or change the rules.

Adapt or die... or, just grumble and hate from the corner because that works.

That would be boxing or horse racing
If people don't like the rules, they should lobby to change the rules.

It is a multi-million dollar business. Those that want to stay in it and excel will leverage the loopholes to give them an advantage.

Half the things Saban did at Bama to sustain a competitive advantage were things he preached against as bad for the sport. You don't have to like it, but it is a part of the game.
I think there are no more than a baker's dozen of actual regular posters here. The rest are people talking to themselves or confused passers by from the other boards.

LSU is the only program that has won 3 titles in multiple men’s Big 3 sports in the 21st century.

Only one SEC school has at least 1 title in all of the Big 3 this century. It isn't LSU.


A mixture of a high water table, soft soil, a large number of bridges to maintain, a low state gas tax rate, and a decade long federal funding gap due to LA not raising/enforcing the drinking age to 21 are contributing factors. But, yes, they are some of the shittiest roads in the states.

But, in terms of frontage roads, I think they are just more common in Texas than other states. Not sure what would make the LA one's less than normal outside of just the poor condition of LA roads overall.
All the pressure will be on Kiffin. You know the Ole Fans are stocking up on golf balls and mustard bottles, and security won't catch them all at the gate.
None of that seemed odd at all. What are you talking about?

Man those were the days weren't they? Now, instead of us getting to see all these great players sit the bench, we have to watch them play against each other. Sure do miss the old days.....(eyeroll)

The Uber talented underclassmen still played young. Most of the other top talent of the era developed their raw talent into NFL potential, a stronger work ethic, dedication toward team goals, college degrees and grew a bit of humility and school pride along the way. Yes, most of us miss the "old days."

We are in the entitled mercenary age. It is much less fun in many respects from a college sports fan perspective.
I mean. I don't hate AU. I hate UTk. Au friends get upset about that
Yes.

One is a thrill hobby. The others affect the chemical balance of your bodies and are actual addictions.

I have no sympathy for any if the above. Get help or shut up.

This is a lawyer advised move to help gain sympathy in NCAA court. It is akin to the politician/movie star sex addicts.

Indiana Hoosiers

It's possibly the greatest single season of all time.

Still, no one cares about IU vs. Oregon unless they are fans of the school, have a bet on the line, or have CFB fantasy players involved.

It isn't a bubble. It is just a fact of life. I have to check Bama game times multiple times. I have zero interest in keeping up with other college games.

They also have Google nowadays if you ever run into the same issue
Yawn. The B1G has money. They also have won the last 3 NCs with 3 different teams, one being IU.

The script has flipped. Just adjust and enjoy.

Cfb is still the best product out there

Most forget that Arkansas is in the SEC or plays sports outside of track.

I'm sure it will turn around though at some point.

No. The sweetheart comment to Rowe got him a wrist smack. The Jeannine Edwards interaction later got him fired.
Adapted athletics is pretty awesome. Wish they got more publicity.
