re: American Football Coaches Association Board recommends the following changes to CFB

Dying? Ypu guys are funny. Having 24 fanbases buying tickets and filling up stadiums instead of 4 teams is not a dying sport.
How bout this - when your team is hosting a first round playoff game backup your words with an empty stadium. But, of course, your packed stadium will prove you guys are all wrong. Your fanbase will eat it up. I know if my team makes the playoffs I’ll be there.
Great point. And to make it even better, I think it should be a 130-team playoff, not just 24.

re: FBS coaches want 24 teams and an end to conference title games…

1) Move the season up a week (start week before Labor Day). Regular season ends the 2nd-last weekend of November instead of last weekend.
2) Eliminate conference championships games. Conferences can choose how they want to award their championships: either to 1 team via a tiebreaker or award co-champions.
3) 16-team playoff. No autobids. Just top 16.
4) First round on campus the first weekend of December (the old CCG weekend, and when coupled with #1 above, would allow for one bye week between the end of the reg season and start of the playoff).
5) Quarterfinals 2nd weekend of December (ideally on campus, but if you have to do at major bowls, so be it).
6) Semifinals 3rd weekend of December at bowls.
7) NCG at 4 pm eastern on New Year’s Day.

Two season-ending losses in TD Garden on back-to-back nights.
What a shame.
What a shame.

The overhead shot down the stretch… absolutely incredible, what a great kick! Congrats to Ortiz, DeVaux and of course, Golden Tempo.

1) Even if true, a douchey thing to say, particularly in the heat of the moment (maybe it’s something you could bring up on a podcast 5 years down the line or something).
2) It’s not even true, which makes it even more douchey.

He’s almost certainly top-2 at worst, maybe #3 behind Kareem, but I have Lebron ahead. He’s still behind Jordan in my eyes, although Lebron’s length of tenure is pretty incredible.
But the amount of people on the MSB who seriously think he’s not even top-5 (let alone top-10) is pretty pathetic. Way too many people on here in the debate don’t care about facts, just their feelings.

It’s already meaningless now that it’s at 12. Alabama ran for -3 yards and didn’t drop. Just be done with it.
re: Does anyone seriously believe Fernando Mendoza is going to be a great NFL QB?
Posted by Buckeye Fan 19 on 4/21/26 at 2:19 pm to NeilArmstrong1969
I do think he’s below the median of a typical #1 overall QB prospect (well below Luck/Lawrence as prospects, probably below Burrow/Williams, but above Goff as a prospect. Maybe like a Bryce Young/Cam Ward level as a prospect?), but regardless he was way more impressive in college than McCarthy and is a much better prospect than him, come on man. :lol:

Southwest is not really a value or discount airline anymore. It costs just as much as everything else.
Honestly, it’s probably the worst of the big 4 now (which is incredible because it was the best along with Delta up until 5-10 years ago).
It’s lost all its competitive advantages/differentiators (cost per ticket, bags fly free, open seating, etc.). No longer great customer service. For non-regional flights (e.g., more than 2 hours, so not something like American Eagle), it has the worst jets/technology/snacks of the big 4. Doesn’t have as many flights/destinations…
Southwest is pretty much solely relying on customer loyalty/habit at this point. We’ll see how long that lasts.
re: Who is the next to accomplish the Career Grand Slam?

Obviously the answer is Scheffler, although the PGA courses are typically easier so who knows, maybe Spieth can get it together for a weekend. Mickleson has no chance at his age, especially given the fact he’s missing a U.S. (Maybe if he needed a Masters or PGA, he could somehow find something).
Don’t sleep on either Morikawa or Schauffele though. Both play very well at Augusta, so if either can break through there next year or the year after, it’ll just be a race between them and Scottie for the U.S.
(Also, if you look at Morikawa and Xander’s average results in majors, the British is by far their worst… but they each already have knocked that one out. The same applies for Brooks… but he doesn’t have it yet, which is why it’ll be tough for him.)

This is probably a Chicken troll account to drive traffic, just like the idiot Larry Leo and the Dong-licker, but on the 5% chance it’s not, you are once again - as consistently proven in all your threads - a complete moron.

How does CBS with all this money not have a clear shot of where the ball went in the final pairing on 18….
re: Would you rather win;
Posted by Buckeye Fan 19 on 4/12/26 at 5:41 pm to TechDawg2007
Masters and Wimbledon should be top-2, because they’re individual. If you’re a QB, make Super Bowl #3, and if you’re a superstar in basketball make NBA #4, but otherwise you can place the team sports in any order you wish.

Barring a Van de Velde… congrats to Rory. Was hoping for a bit more of excitement on 18, but he really came on strong early on the back 9.

I was shocked when they showed his final two putts with Scottie and it said +1 on the screen :lol:

This was (unfortunately) such an obvious Justin Rose performance once it looked like he was maybe gonna run away with it.

This masters coverage is different.. not sure I like it
It’s moving too fast. No build up into the shots
Don’t think it’s a permanent change, more just that this year currently has 5 guys within 2 shots, plus Scheffler at only 3 back.

Would be hilarious if Morikawa birdies these final two and wins coming out of nowhere when no one’s thought about him the past 48 hours. :lol:
re: Which generation has the best overall athlete representation?

Gen X seems to clear pretty easily
Jordan and Bonds are technically Boomers, although when paired with Gretzky and either Rice or Montana, that generation has a great argument. Lacking in the other sports though, a bit.
The “generation” analysis in sports is kinda weird anyway though, because it should probably be more about the years of the athletes’s peak/relevancy, not about their literal birth year. But even in that case, Jordan’s Bulls career was over when Tiger had only one major and before Brady was drafted. Likewise, thinking of Montana as the same generation as Bonds is a little weird.
