College Football Catch-All Thread

And, don’t we owe “Chapel Bill” a large fortune if we fire him?

Kinda.

All $10mil per year is guaranteed, but only for 3 seasons.

It’s hard to imagine we’d fire him before 3 seasons are over.

Mack’s contract ran 3 more years through the 2027 season at a buyout of $2.8mil when we fired him.

Pretty sure his contract language provided for just a 1 year buyout

Didn’t get to watch a ton of CFB this weekend but I caught pieces of GT/Clemson, Tenn/UGA, and ND/A&M. All incredibly entertaining games.

• GT has a very manageable remaining schedule and is sneaky on track to make it to the ACCCG and maybe the playoff. Really hope Clemson bottoms out but I think they will regroup and salvaging a respectable season.
• Arch Manning/Texas’s offense are going to waste one of the best defenses in the country if they can’t figure it out.
• Tennessee arguably outplayed UGA and they have to be kicking themselves that they couldn’t get it across the finish line at home. I have to tip the cap that UGA usually finds a way to win close games even when they don’t have their A game. The exception is obviously that they are snakebitten against Bama. Will be very interested to see if they can exorcise some demons against them at home in a few weeks.
• Didn’t watch much of any of their games, but it looks like some of the ACC bottom feeders on UNC’s schedule showed more fight than I was expecting this weekend (Wake, Stanford, especially Cal).

So we apparently are paying this QB about $8M

It's insane. I mean - he never really has to work a day in his life - without even going pro. You drop that $8M (say it's after tax for easy mathing) in a high yield savings account, even, and you are living off the interest in a very, very, very comfortable life. I mean you are making WAY more than most Duke grads make in their entire careers!

Sports are broken.

Tennessee's coach iced his own kicker calling a needless run play that prompted a false start. 5 extra yards, waiting, and a subtle no confidence vote from his coach.

That is 100% on the coach, not the player.

AND the penalty moved the ball from the middle of the field where the previous play had ended back over to the left hashmark which caused the overcorrection on his kick resulting in the wide right.
