I voted for curate at #1 in my latest rankings.

I am seeing Patrick being defended, but not Tom.


I don't even understand the thread topic or what Tom Clancy did to piss somebody off in the first place, so how am I supposed to know who Patrick is and how Patrick fits into the story.

It's as if some people just caught a news story and assume that everyone else was watching the same channel or reading the same article they just were lol.

The financial incentive comes from the ppl who profit off of it. ESPN, big network, fox etc, and anyone whose paycheck gets signed by them. Also last time I checked the beat writer in Boise doesnt have a lot of cachet in terms of college football influence but the talking heads at espn and fox do.



Most of the AP voters are local beat writers. For every ESPN guy with a vote, there's 10 beat writers.

How do all these local yocals fit into your grand conspiarcy theory?

I think it’s about money and keeping interest up for fans that have no rooting interest. It’s not rocket science




What's the fincancial incentive for the beat writer at the Starkviille Daily Bumfrick or the Boise Bulletin to vote for certain teams in certain places.

Everything isn't a conspiracy.

think about the level of retardation of a UGA fan actively cheering and rooting their arse off for bama or florida or tennessee to win a natty just because they happen to be in the same collection of member schools as us.



Very few if any will probably admit it now, but I'd say around 40 percent of Georgia fans were rooting for Florida in the 2006 national championship game. It was the most bizarre shite ever.

That's back when ESPN was still such a big factor in college football and controlled the conversation. Fans allowed ESPN to scramble their brains, including a bunch of Dawg fans.

That was the "ESPN hates (insert name of your favorite team)" era.

It’s mostly a battle cry for the have nots and tv networks. Fans of schools that aren’t playing for titles are still eyeballs(dollar signs). K



You don't think all these college football writer nerds want to be correct in the end and they're not competetive against each other?

Or do you think it's some sort of elaborate conspiracy among college football writer nerds?

Looks like 2015 was unanimous for Ohio State #1 in the preseason. And the last time before that looks like 1989 preseason poll didn’t have a first place vote for an SEC Team. Including the new comers to the SEC.


Very solid. Good shot, thanks!
Happened the other day, but I'm talking about the last time before that. I have no idea, which is why I'm asking.

My guess would be the Southern Cal glory days from about 20 years ago.
At least Progressive's "young homeowners becoming their parents" ad campaign might be the most hilarious in history.

If a team has been in the playoffs, won a conference championship,and a national championship how can they be considered OVERRATED in the last 12 years?



You've also lost 47 frigging times in the last 12 years. The chart is about where you start and where you finish.
quote:

They called DUI Pete Golding the most likable coach in the SEC and had Lane I think last or second to last, I rest my case


Personally, I consider Pete Golding more likeable than Lane Kiffin by a factor of at least 10. One seems like a normal guy you'd have a beer with, and the other doubles as an internet attention whore.

Is it really showing an anti-LSU bias to say that Pete Golding is more likeable than Lane Kiffin?
Presidents don't have a lot of control over gas prices, until they do something so dopey that all of a sudden they do.

he media's part because they don't understand what actually went down and always seem to have a bias against LSU



Perseuction complexes are America's new national pastime. Everyone is jumping in. :lol:

Jake Rowe said that other day that a lot of recruits are coming for the Western Kentucky game for the white jerseys who weren't planning on coming before.

Your level of excitment about stuff like this isn't the level of excitement that matters.

The Alabama board fall camp thread is already up to 20 pages, and we just now made it to page 4.

I don't want to pay for Ugasports.com, but the lack of actual football conversation around here isn't satisfying the itch. Pretty brutal.
I like to think of myself as a very observant and knowledgeable driver, but this thread is the first time I've ever heard of zipper merging.

For this reason, alone, it will never work.
Alabama's regular season win total line is 8.5. Ouf of the 24 Gumps, only one took the under. That's interesting.
I thought Chambliss should've gone to the NFL and was hoping the Falcons would draft him. All I know is that little fricker couldn't miss in the Sugar Bowl and looked like Russell Wilson in his prime!
