re: Does anyone actually prefer the playoffs over BCS

So 60% of the time, the national championship game was a mismatch, but because some of the expanded playoff games were too, we should yearn for the 2 team system.
Didn't say that - 1 to 2 might have a drop off, 1 to 12 definitely has a drop off.

If we're going to exclude teams from the opportunity, 4 teams is too few IMO.
Even in the 4 team playoff, there were tremendous mismatch's and blowouts.

So for the first 10 years, only 3ish seasons didn't feature a "blowout" meaning there was not parity in the Top 4, and we added 8 extra teams to the list.

I align with JD much more closely than I do with Trump. I would support Vance for another 8 years.

4 Team CFP is the best, but they should have used the BCS rankings instead of a committee.

EXP with AA here. I am really confused what you are asking. Are you looking for global or intra-Europe one world flight choices?

Even in the four team playoff, the 3/4th's of the games were blowouts.
re: LSU Fans - Need Some Help

Kiffin, Weis, Cox, Stevens, Wolford, McDonald and Jordan for Wilson certainly seems like a "fair" trade
re: Frank Wilson to Ole Miss.. HUGE GET
Posted by TheDeathValley on 12/17/25 at 9:54 am to Tropicofcapricorn
Frank was at Ole Miss from 2005-2007
Ole Miss
3-8
4-8
3-9
LSU won a title in 2007 before Frank arrived in 2010.
LSU lost a title in 2011 with Frank on staff.
LSU won a title in 2019 before Frank rejoined the staff in 2020.
TL;DR - He did not do much at Ole Miss the first time, and LSU has been largely more successful without him.

re: Flight reimbursement for family of 5 realistic amounts (Delta)
Posted by TheDeathValley on 12/17/25 at 9:49 am to baldona
Submit a formal request with delta with your rental car receipt. I have on a few occasions been refunded (not fully, they have negotiated rates with hotels and car rental companies) that they will go up to.
I had an AA flight that was recently diverted to AMA, missed my connection in DFW. They compensated me for my uber to and from a hotel, and the hotel. They did not pay for the SWA flight.

re: Just hire Tyrann as recruiting coordinator
Posted by TheDeathValley on 12/17/25 at 9:45 am to r0cky1
No disrespect to TM7, but what makes you so sure he could do all the tasks associated with recruiting? I absolutely think there is a role for him somewhere on staff.

Delta purchased Northwest and gave way to the DTW and MSP hubs.
re: What if Ole Miss Looks Better Without Lane?
Posted by TheDeathValley on 12/16/25 at 1:26 pm to REBEL5 AC
Ole Miss will throttle Tulane. It won't be close.
Ole Miss will probably get throttled by UGA.
You can mask the issues against Tulane, but no Kiffin against UGA will be an issue.

I have left lots of things in my yard for those in our neighborhood (most recently a kid's starting bike).
I have also gotten a few items (most recently a wooden table I refinished).

re: NOT having "help" seems to be the exception to the norm these days
Posted by TheDeathValley on 12/16/25 at 9:00 am to sidewalkside
I am at a stage in my life (3 young kids) where time is more important than money. Frankly, it is very cheap to have someone clean the house or change the oil in the car.
I do keep up the yard because I enjoy it, and my son has an interest in "helping".

I'd count 1908 as legit for LSU if they claimed it.
Ole Miss doesn't have 1960.
A&M only has 2.
1957 and 2010 are the only 2 legit Auburn has. Although I haven't looked over there pre AP claims yet.
All accurate, but which Bama titles are you going to give up based on your critera?

If I didn't check a bag like the OP it would have been a lot quicker than this. They have E gates now. I couldn't even use them due to having kids with me and it was still only 5 minutes at passport control (since everyone over 10 or whatever could use the E gates that had qualifying passports).
I fly through LHR pretty frequently, 6-7 times a year. The e-gates are nice and I agree that it is down to 10 min max, but it is easily 15 minutes to get from the plane to customs and another 15+ to get a bag. I think 45-60 minutes is fair estimate to land and leave LHR.
