Nebraska is an actic waste land much of the year with nothing for an African American athlete to do. Bama isn't close to dipping to Nebraska levels.

I understand your thinking, but the Sugar Bowl at least falls on a holiday. Getting to Phoenix for a Thursday game would have been tough for a lot of UGA fans.
re: The committee screwed Notre Dame

quote:Funny thing is that A&M and Miami losing late in the year really did ND in. If. A&M beats Texas, Bama isn’t in the SECCG and doesn’t get protected by the committee. If Miami beats either Louisville or SMU, they go to the ACC championship game, likely beat UVA, and JMU is out.
No, the committee did not where Notre Dame is concerned. Miami deserved to go ahead by virtue of beating ND, who also lost to ATM. Those were the biggest games for ND and they lost both. They only beat a ranked Louisville team afterwards, so no big wins over higher ranked opponents.

Why not just wear a “Kick Me” sign? If you are going to wear an LSU jersey, wear one with your IQ as the number. Two digits will suffice.

And after the fat shaming commercial, we get the Bama Band playing Fat Bottomed Girls! :lol:
re: Indiana ain’t winning the natty

Assuming they see this one out, the only thing standing between them and the final is an Oregon team they’ve already beaten once, in Eugene. They will feel like the home team in Atlanta, too.
A matchup,with Georgia would be interesting. Think I’d favor the dawgs in that one, slightly. On a neutral,field, I’d like Indiana over Miami, but if that’s the matchup, it will be on Miami’s home field.

re: Why doesn’t Miami have a stadium on campus?
Posted by twk on 1/1/26 at 1:32 pm to Jauquismos
The school didn’t own the Orange Bowl. It wasn’t their choice.
Small private school, which means not that many fans and no power of eminent domain to acquire land. When they sucked, and Miami was smaller, the Orange Bowl provided all they needed.
If Bama and Texas Tech win tomorrow, that will shift all the talk away from the SEC’s poor postseason performance to how overrated the Big Ten was.
Surround sound system for the win. Disconnect your center speaker.

It’s kind of ironic that Mizzou blew up the Big12 when they tried to flirt with the Big Ten and Nebraska got wind of it. Turns out the BIG had zero interest in them, and then they lucked out when the SEC felt like they had to take another team in addition to aggy.

I've always wondered why the light posts were in the middle of the stands at Stoll Field. Would have been a real bummer to buy a ticket only to find out that it's behind a light pole.

FIELD, not stadium.
I was looking at the old pictures, where there is a little pint sized stand appended on to the west side (but not the east) of the old horseshoe.

The cool thing about that picture is that you can see the old Billy goat hill at Clark Field (baseball) in the background. I still can’t believe that the horns got away with having a cliff in play for all those years.
What's the story on the little appendage on the edge of the West stands at Neyland?

Phallic. I'm shocked aggie field is penis-shaped.
If you are still looking for phallic symbols, this is the place:

Increasing past 16 will just lead to a bunch of blowouts in the first round and a chance for key players to get injured.
Frankly, I'm fine with leaving it at 12. If the ACC would have had different tie-breaker rules, there would only have been one mismatch, and, some years when there is a really strong G5 team, you might not even have that. Having two G5's was the problem.

This is the original Kyle Field, as it would have looked around 1910:
They played football and baseball on this field, and held track meets there, too. In 1915, they moved the football field over to another portion of the same tract (the original sat in what is now the A parking lot behind the press box).
Kyle Field in 1925:
Kyle Field in about 1941 (would have looked the same from 1929 on):
Kyle Field in 1965. None of this remains in today's stadium.
Kyle Field after the 1967 expansion. Only the East Second deck remains:
Here is Kyle Field in 1999, which shows the 3rd decks constructed in 1979, and the north endzone structure constructed in 1999 (the classic "tackelbox"):
