It goes against what we have all grown up with recruiting but I think we are all going to have to realize the senior/juniors transfers from G5 are better or more game ready than 95% of 4/5 stars freshmen in today’s game.

If nothing else the G5 player has been through a few years of strength and conditioning at the college level and is more ready for the size and speed of the game than kids fresh out of high school with 9 months or less on campus.

Pretty sure the AG would have to prosecute the crime in that county.

Trials get moved to other counties/jurisdictions due to pretrial publicity tainting the jury pool. Don't see why you couldn't move it due to an area not having a large enough population to seat a jury.

LSU fans will blame the officials, the SEC office, and the playoff committee in some order.

My question is why they put the star and lights on their tree on Christmas Eve? Was this tradition in the old days?

I think some people still do that nowadays. Put the tree up on Christmas Eve and leave it up until Three Kings Day.

I believe it was much more prevalent back then.

AU is 2nd in line for a bowl invite behind Rice in order for all bowl slots to be filled. It appears KSU and Iowa St have opened two slots by declining bids to two bowl games. Interesting.

I think I read this morning that AU had already told the various bowl committees that any bowl invites would be declined, as the program wants to focus on building the coaching staff and getting everything ready for 2026.

I could be wrong though - it was something that was in my suggested articles from Google on my phone.

It appeared as a short story in Playboy a few years before it was a movie.

I thought that the movie was an amalgamation of several of Shepherd's short stories, drawn from two separate books/short story collections.

The least shocking thing would be media Darlings Notre Dame and Bama making it with Miami left on the outside looking in

ACC getting left out while two G5s get in will give the talking heads fodder from now until the title game.

If it happens I wonder if we see an immediate push to revise the rules to include all 4 P4 champs and/or expand the field to 16?

At this point we should be calling him Doctor Finley.
To avoid the conundrum of what to do with a team losing in the CG like Bama or an upstart like Duke winning and not getting in, why not go to 13 games for everyone, get rid of the conference championship games and select a champion based on conference record?

This lets everyone get another ooc game during the season, more revenue for another on campus game.

Then you either take the top 12/16 ranked teams. More than likely your P4 champs would either be in that top 12/16 ranking or else they don't deserve to go because their conference was so weak.
Seen several of her videos doing this in Instagram, they are funny.

Her Halloween one was hilarious. She was dressed like Sabrina Carpenter, and one of the comments was "Sabrina Carpenter? More like Sabrina Contractor."

Here’s my problem with Rudolph. If it’s foggy or snowy conditions, everyone knows you don’t drive with your bright lights on. So how the hell does a bright light on Rudolph help Santa see better?

It's not about Santa seeing better, it's about being seen.

Rudolph's bright red nose works like a warning beacon and keeps airplanes from crashing into Santa.

I've eaten from the Buford location of City and just haven't been that impressed with them.

I forget that Das is Texas style. My family knows the owner's sister and have had samples, but funny enough have never eaten there.

In the Midnight Hour

I remember seeing an interview with him where he talked about how the dance called The Jerk was just starting to get popular at the time, and that the emphasis was on the two, so Midnight Hour features a delayed back beat to make it conductive to the dance.
