In the old days 1970-1990 or so, this season would have ended with:

Rose Bowl: Indiana versus Oregon

Cotton Bowl: Texas A&M(or Texas) versus Ole Miss

Sugar: Georgia versus Ohio State

Orange: Oklahoma versus Miami

Fiesta: Alabama versus Texas

AP and Coaches would vote.

Things were fine.
BCS was a step forward.
4 team playoff was a refinement.
12 team playoff is a stretch.

I know they will grow it to 16 or 24, but I don’t think it will lead to a slate of competitive games.

I’d cut the playoff to 6, give 1 and 2 seed a bye, have it all finished on New Years Day.

The difference between his NIL and a top 5 draft pick contract?

Hugh could get a round in every morning, then head over to the HS and teach the team all 3 of his plays.

2M policy would result in my wife never working again unless she dramatically changed her lifestyle.

She must be very sensible an frugal.

Walk me through the math.

2 million is enough for a wife and 3 little kids to get everyone launched?

2,000,000 divided by 20 is $100,000 per year.
I guess you’d have some return on unspent money, but she must be some kind of frugal.

I guess some fraction of the lump sum would double twice over 20 years so a 5% drawdown with normal market returns would give you more than 20 years. So let’s best case scenario that the unspent money makes 10%, but there could be dramatic declines any given year.

College?
Cars?
Weddings?

I’d put it in a Monte Carlo simulator as far as how to invest the insurance money.

I did not like the way Beck carried the football on the TD run.

It could have hit his thigh and dislodged.

I know it did not happen, but I think the ball should be protected at all times properly.

quote:

---

long as you have a 1-2M life insurance policy to take care of your family in the big house if you get hit by a train, worth it.

---

Is 1 or 2 million enough?

I don’t know, just asking.

quote:

---

It just happened earlier than we deserved.

---

“Deserved?”

Nobody “deserved” anything.

Go get it.

Why would TV want Oregon over the Indiana/Cignetti story?

Nike

West Coast .

Gives them an east-west matchup.

Did Lacy get hurt?

Ole Miss is an underdog to Miami?

Really?

They’ve played great in playoffs.

Just because he offers s small school kid doesn't mean he's found a hidden gem though

And it does not mean he hasn’t.

It sounds like other P4 programs have offered. They too are either right or wrong.

The odds of being wrong about offensive line recruits are always high.

How many times in a HS career does a “5 star” line up against equal competition at the line of scrimmage?

Charlie Chaplin and his 12 false starts did not help us and he was the best available. Bowler hat, spinning umbrella be damned, I’ll take my chances with the small school kid developing.
