So shall we just do away with all non-CFP bowl games, then?

There are around 40 bowl games currently. That ESPN owns/operates only 16 of them should serve as an indication that most of them don’t garner huge profits. If you tune into some of the first week’s bowl games, you’ll see a lot of empty seats for games between ~.500 teams. The only folks...

To be fair, I think that’s kinda the point. There are currently far too many bowl games. Historically, CFB hasn’t rewarded teams that finish at 6-6 or 5-7. Pare back the amount of bowls and re-calibrate to where a winning record is a minimum requirement.

Unfortunate but true.

I’m not trashing OU. Honestly. 30 years ago was a long time, particularly when viewed on a pre-Trump 2.0/pre-trans hysteria and anti-DEI timeline. My understanding is that Governor Stitt has mandated some of the most restrictive anti-DEI policies at state universities, and that OU is...

It’s Oklahoma. If there’s one state university in America that Trump would be least likely to withhold funding from, it’d be OU. That said, given that the TA themself is trans, the likelihood of OU actively supporting/standing up for said TA enough to actually take this to court is negligible...

I sincerely doubt the money gets dispersed. And even if it somehow does, Trump/DOGE has dismantled the Fed agency that would provide oversight to ensure/monitor that the funds are used effectively.

There’s also the fact that his younger bro has been arrested and charged with several minor crimes over the past few months. I wouldn’t doubt he thinks ingratiating himself to Trump would be an avenue toward a pardon, should anything more serious come about about his bro.

And this, of course, supposes that we are engaged in a “legal” act of war, as indicated by a declaration thereof and appropriate congressional authorization.

It’ll be more than a little ironic if Manny Diaz is the reason UM gets into the playoffs. 😂

Fair. A couple decades of tonights, at this point.

Agreed. Still, 5 points away from an undefeated season, with losses against two 8-4 teams. Sucks to be a Miami fan tonight.

My beef lies more with the ND favoritism. UM has the head to head victory, plus beat Pitt by more than ND did a couple weeks ago. That an unranked 7-5 Duke team is vying for a conference championship is the piss icing on the shit cake.

As a Miami kool-aid drinker, I fucking hate this Mickey Mouse bullshit right now.

Also, transphobia/homophobia. “Hey, I lost my job because of Trump—but at least those damn transgenders aren’t getting surgery in prison on my dime!”
