re: Sounds like 24 team playoff is done deal

So fans won’t pack the stadium each week cause some games don’t matter? Fans won’t watch these games cause they are meaningless? Players will not play hard cause they can lose 6 times? Nothing changes except how many teams have a chance at the end.
I love this argument. So please tell me if more of something at the end has no impact at all on the regular season why stop at 24?

That happened twice? And one 7-9 team won round 1. You are catering to rarities.
The fact that it can happen diminshes the value of each regular season game. So 10-6 makes the playoffs pretty often yes? So you can walk out of the dome after a loss and know you can do that 5 more times and still be ok. Stop trying to act like the NFL regular season week to week carries the same intensity as CFB. It doesn't and that's ok. They are 2 different products each with their own unique aspects that make them great. Don't force one to be like the other

NFL fans shouldn’t care about week 1 games?
When you can go 7-9 and make the playoffs it really doesn’t have high stakes on it does it?
And good attempt trying to cherry pick one sentence from the post

The CFB regular season is what made it the best sport in the world. Now when those games means less, it diminishes the value.
Those in favor of more and more playoff expansion fail to realize it comes at the cost of the high intensity week to week high wire act that was the CFB regular season. Think of all the classic games in the past. The top 5 conference matchups. The huge upsets that derailed a top team's season. I can think of dozens off the top of my head. Now name 5 classic NFL regular season games.
And if more teams in playoffs is better, then why stop at 24? Hell let's go straight to 48. 64. 128!!!! MORE!!!!

So it obviously has some kind of cultural significance and connection to LSU football.
Yeah of all the things I want LSU to be known for this is not it
Because it happened every time the band started playing something and the student section started winding up the it's cool to curse chant

The crowd was loud and into it last night. When a big, hated rival comes to Tiger Stadium, the crowd gets into it; the crap rap every play is unnecessary and off-putting.
Some of us are old enough to remember when ONLY the band played in Tiger Stadium. It was glorious.
And having the band play in between plays did a few things IMO. First it engaged the students and the crowd to participate with what the band was playing. Second without the piped in music at 180 decibels, the crowd would HAVE to get loud for every play and stay loud.
Also the sound system just sucks no matter what is playing. The bass in the north EZ is ridiculous

Luna just announced he is having knee surgery so add him to the injured list

So Banks is pretty much gone.
Been watching his comps almost on a weekly basis for a while now. He might eventually get there but he isn't there yet. And that is to US standards. To German standards he has light years to go. You can see he has good tools but he is a pretty soft defender still. Decent athleticism, nothing crazy. He's a plus on the ball for sure.
I'm way more excited about Neil Pierre
Why play a fight song when the horrendous bass from the speakers in the north endzone can continue to vibrate your ribs

END THE SEASON NOW

You can force an in-to-out path using alignment sticks placed behind you at an angle. It will force you to physically drop the club under the stick or you'll hit it.
A swing feeling should be that you're taking the club back low and to your right pocket (assuming you're right handed). Hands should remain low during the turn.
Using sticks or obstacles are really good ways to correct swing path. Another one that wont cause any damage to sticks or clubs is to put a head cover just outside and behind the ball. If you come out to in you will hit the head cover. As someone else said too getting your hand depth at the top of your backswing is key (hands over your heels)

Wayne Routledge
I bought some of their hoodies on sale a year or so ago. This ad campaign sucks but those things are VERY comfortable
I'm interested to see what he can do with a full cycle. More time to fully vet the pool and integrate the next generation. Doesn't have to spend time on his "cultural reset".
I played Bear's Best out there last year and enjoyed it (18 Jack Nicklaus holes from around the world)
We need more CB prospects like him

Can Yunus Musah rediscover himself? He was super promising back in 2022 and it all went downhill.
I would argue he still belonged on this team this year.

but gives you more group stage games
But at what point does the quality of those games greatly suffer for the sake of having more games?
For instance with the 32 team format, you had 4 pots with 8 teams in each pot with pot 1 being the strongest and 4 the weakest. 1 team from each pot in each group. With 64 teams you will seemingly have 4 pots with 16 teams each. So your old pots 1 and 2 will now be pot 1, and your old pots 3 and 4 will be pot 2. When you look at it that way, it's not that enticing to me

Just like the CFP I maintain that more isn't always better. We will see. The thing that sucks is it takes a ton of drama out of qualifying which I enjoy watching and tracking over the years.
On a selfish USMNT level it basically guarantees us a spot but at the cost of probably not playing the top teams in our region in qualifying anymore. We already lost the Hex which was a nice challenge leading into the WC. We will see what this new format holds

Not posting source material and making some other dude do your work should be grounds for immediate thread deletion.
My bad I was hammered last night and created this thread. Mistook the soy boy comments on their post for them I guess haha
I will say though they annoyed the shite out of me after Balo was reinstated. They seemingly did nothing but post every person who opposed its opinion.
And I had no idea Davo left. He is way better than Rog
