From the presser. Matches what Boz says. Is Tua out for MSU?

The limb of Mac starting (with Tua in sneakers at Wednesday's practice) looks sturdy, if you want to go out on it.

Nice girth on it, the limb that is. Strong. Ought to hold a good many folks.

Mac is definitely going to play some. Hopefully he is confident and runs right through them.

I think we’re going to unleash the Najee this Saturday. 180 yards rushing, 46 yards receiving and 3 TDs.

Why in the hell would Tua not play?

I think they're gonna try a build a quick lead so that Tua can rest.

Yeah I think maybe Tua starts and we try blitzkrieg football and try to jump on them by 28-35 at the half and Tua sits.

So he can maybe heal up before the Auburn game and possibly the playoffs. It was obvious from the first series last game that he was still hampered. I suppose it was a case of "you won't injure it more but it needs time to completely heal" situation. For that matter, some that watched practices during the week preceding the game had said he was favoring that ankle.

Assuming Mac plays Saturday, then I have a hard time thinking Tua will also play against Western Carolina. So the Auburn game could potentially be Tua’s last game in crimson if we don’t make the Playoffs. No way he plays in a meaningless bowl game.

Time flies...

Playoffs will expand due to this
Not sure why it’s taking so long.

Tearing up billion dollar contracts is not something done quickly, or at all. When the current agreements expire after the 2025 season, the playoff will be expanded to 6 or 8 teams. The agreement will be in place and made public a few years prior. And all of this is the reason for contracts - they ensure that the profiting entities remain the profiting entities into the future, while simultaneously giving those same entities a stranglehold on the structure, and therefore profit, in the next iteration of an evolving economic system.

This is not about giving fans what they want. This is about controlling the flow and the direction of money in a billion dollar entertainment industry.

The only way change comes earlier than 2025 is if all parties in these billion dollar contracts figure out a way to collectively increase their profit earlier than that, and do it in a way that benefits them specifically.
