Miles' Statement on Florida Coach Resignation
That was coherent.

No fricking way he wrote that himself. Probably had his new clock manager do it.

Ctually for about a year after the BCS (BCS.org) called 2003 a "split decision with LSU winning the coach championship and USC the AP".

But only on of those two teams won the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. usc won the Rose Bowl Championship, quite an accomplishment, but not a NATIONAL championship GAME.

I dunno if you noticed,

BUT THE NCAA DOESN'T AWARD NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS TO FBS TEAMS
hence their opinion is irrelevant.

we had 2 drives during the entire game that went for more than 6 plays.

6 plays 25 yds punt
5 plays 27 yds punt
3 plays 14 yds int
3 plays -12 yds punt
5 plays 4 yds punt(penalty)
4 plays 6 yds turnover on downs

I doubt your summary is correct, because its lacking 3 points.

Are you saying we scored those 3 in less than 6 plays?


It stands to reason then that had we had the extra 6:30 that would have made par possesion time, we could have pulled off two or three sub 6 play scoring drives.

I call BS. There is no way we only had 2 three and outs on O that game.

I don't know for sure but that number does not sound right.

How many 3 and outs did our offense have?

I doubt the CC company did that unless the parent had signed guaranteeing the debt for their child. Are you sure you have all the facts?

---

I know for a fact they were chased for the credit card debt of their son. Perhaps it wasn't the CC company themselves but a collection agency. That would probably make more sense I guess, as collection agencies are known for scummy tactics.

ETA: A person's estate is made up of both assets and liabilities. The CC company can file a claim against the estate. Perhaps that is what happened?? As far as I know (and any estate attorney is better qualified to address this issue) any creditor can file a claim against the assets of a person's estate, limited to the value of the assets in the estate.

True that - but he had no net assets. There's no way his car was worth his debt. I guess they had a right to the car, but even in that case - shouldn't the collection agency/cc company be communicating with the attorney handling the estate and not the agrieved parents?


Just seemed kind of dick to me. I think if your a CC company handing out money to 18 year olds then you should understand you're taking a risk - if they pass unexpectedly they're unlikely to have much assets and/or life insurance - so if you're going to make that loan you should be prepared to eat it if they die.

The BCS sucks. I like that LSU has won it twice but its really just a coincidence its worked out in our favor.

Either bring back the old system where there is no collective effort to match #1 and #2 - and everyone argues who the real #1 is at the end of the year - but some years by magical coincidence #1 and #2 wind up in the same bowl and its awesome.


Or give us a playoff. One of reasonable size. Not too big. Like 8 teams.



The BCS is a bastard child of a playoff and the old "every bowl for itself" tradition - and its ugly as hell.

65 teams out of a field of 347

8 out of 120


That's 18% getting in vs. 6.7%.

Big difference IMO.
