Finebaum is the Jerry Springer of college football media.
Was about to make the same exact comment. I haven't watched/listened to Fireball in years b/c I don't have time to get invested in dopey call-in characters-- I'm interested in actual football information. If the "personal" angle is what people want, have at it. But to have him as the recognizable "face" of the conference's premier media outlet is a tad disappointing.
Maybe that last statement is inaccurate since I don't follow the media as much anymore. If not him, who is the most popular SEC media figure?

Not so much to see Texas lose (though it would be funny), but just to see Vandy players and fans get such a huge "W". Would be the one thing to make their 2024 season memorable.

Is it possible he was trying to be tricky by saying "University of..." since the other two schools were Oregon and Miami?

Oh, man. Thanks for sharing. That was hilariously brutal.

That would be my choice as well per that very reason. But, the fun aspect of all this is somebody can always step up and surprise.
re: ESPN's post-spring football top 25 ranks ULL ahead of LSU.
Posted by Pax tecum on 5/8/21 at 12:01 pm
That's true, but a red herring.
I was just replying to the post citing recruiting rankings as evidence of program superiority. There was a legitimate reason why the data was so skewed for 2021.
I wasn't even addressing the main topic.

The 2021 disparity is an anomaly b/c Tech purposely took an extremely small class to keep scholarships evenly spread on the roster.

Tech wins 6-1 over MTSU for 4-game weekend sweep, 10 road wins in a row, and should be moving back into the top 20 RPI.
re: Has Shelvin been picked?

That Tech DL, Milton Williams, had some impressive pro-day numbers and was a productive player and leader for several years. At 6-foot-3 284-pounds, he's no slouch.
Pro day results:
bench press- 34 reps
three-cone drill- 6.87
20-yard shuttle- 4.25
vertical jump- 38.5-inch
broad jump- 10-foot-1
40-yard dash- 4.61
No shame him going over Shelvin.

That 4-game series against USM was intensely competitive and a display of the greatness of college baseball.
USM wins Game One (4-3) and Game Three (12-11).
Tech wins Game Two (5-3) and Game Four (7-6).
What better way to end the series with a walk-off HR.

re: Bryce Young will be best QB in SEC this year. Making it 5 out of 6 years we’ve had best QB

I have a lot of respect for Tua, but come on, in 2019 he wasn't better than Burrow.

Wow. Talk about a disaster with a capital "W". Watching him handle the NY media would be quite cringey.

Plus, if that recruiting pitch doesn't work, AtM can just roll out it's flamboyant squad of white-clad merry minstrels to perform their aggie cheers. What recruit could say no to that impressive display?

Yes, I like Trask. He was tough, had heart and didn't quit on his team. One of the most likable UF players I can remember too.

Almost. I don't see a Danny Wuerffel type of player on the roster. Florida should win their share of games next year, but can't see them being in the title hunt.
re: Florida fan’s melt post on Mullen
Posted by Pax tecum on 12/30/20 at 11:06 pm
I'm no Florida fan and even I've been vexed by some of his mishandling of the program. Something just seems off about this guy. He's a good enough coach to keep them winning but not enough to be relevant in the championship discussion as Florida fans would like.
What happened tonight with Trask's playing time?

Baker shouldn't be in the discussion for such a prestigious job in the SEC. To paraphrase Mr. Wing at the end of Gremlins...
"He does not understand. He is not ready."

Hmm. Does that mean they should move Arik Gilbert to defensive end?
