re: Josh Pate is predicting some chaos in Spring transfer window

[quote]The NFL will be the ultimate beneficiary[/quote]
This is exactly right. Imagine the NFL, but with no draft, no salary cap, (effectively) no roster limit, and unlimited free agency. Think what a joke that would be in terms of competitive balance. Sadly, that is where college sports are h...

re: LSU vs USC Tickets?
Posted by profwilson on 1/16/24 at 12:14 pm
I'm planning to go with my son (who will have just turned 21), but there's no way around it being a pricey trip. From the DFW area, I cobbled together an airfare for $440 pp (heading out there on American, coming back on Southwest). Then I used Hilton points to book a room at the Waldorf Astoria (...

[quote]ESPN is going to see to it that Bama will be in the playoffs annually no matter what. The SEC will continue to fix games for Bama weekly, if needed.[/quote]
You mean like they did when Mike Dubose was coach? Or Dennis Franchione? Or Mike Shula? When LSU fans play the "Bama cheats" card,...

re: Predict the score vs USC to open the 2024 season
Posted by profwilson on 1/2/24 at 10:22 am
It is really amazing how much the two teams mirror each other. Both had prolific offenses this year, are losing Heisman quarterbacks, but have what seem to be very capable (if somewhat less dynamic) heirs apparent. Both had really terrible defenses--almost amazingly so, given the level at which th...

Those of you who keep saying stuff like this, if you actually believe it, can make a fortune off of this "insight." You can get Penix at 11 o...

They may look a lot smarter when Alabama wins it all and Georgia boat races Florida State. I'm not saying that I necessarily want this to happen, just saying that it may well play out this way. And if you tell me you don't think this ...
re: How many coaches in the country would you rather have than BK?
Posted by profwilson on 11/29/23 at 4:48 pm
Do you leave out Saban because you honestly believe Kelly is a better coach than Saban, or just because of Saban's age? Because if Saban were 5 years younger, I think he's a no-brainer for this list.
I think you could also make an argument for Mike Norvell--he has done an amazing job building F...

I mean, this should really already have happened (well, maybe not the rioting part :lol:). Heisman voting is pretty lazy, generally speaking--it's really an award for the most hyped player in a given season. With ver...

The ACC is a better brand than the Big 12. No team in the Big 12 (after Texas and Oklahoma leave) has the football tradition of Clemson, Florida State, or Miami. The ACC's basketball brand is top-notch, and academically it runs circles around the Big 12.
I don't know why people are so eager to ...
