FIU losing 26-16 at home to MTSU. FIU was 10.5 point favorites.

CUSA sucks beyond belief.

Rams just tanked us all.

Second week in a row that the heaviest favorite of the week lost.

If you have any entries left anywhere you’re in the top 1 percent.
Rick Knabb is kinda jacked
They had two timeouts at the 30, and like 30 seconds. Never leave it in the kickers hands if you don’t have to
Why did Va Tech play for the FG so hard?
I do agree with that. I would be in favor of the G6 splitting away from the P4 and having its own playoff. I hope we can still play P4s in the regular season for money games, but I’m on board with a G6 playoff.

But I think these 3 schools all need to stay in the Sun Belt.
As a La Tech guy, why did they let us pay the massive CUSA exit fee to go to the Sun Belt, not even a year ago, just do all this? Plus our travel costs will be going significantly down in the SBC. No more trips to Delaware, FIU, or NMSU. Get to go to Lafayette, Monroe, Hattiesburg, Troy, Jonesboro, and Mobile instead.

I feel like 100% of Bulldog and Cajun fans want to stay in the Sun Belt as long as possible. Nobody wants to go to the Southland. That would just about kill the football program. ULM MAYBE would drop down, although even that’s questionable.

The “retirement” of President Jim Henderson at Tech is certainly concerning, as he was the most pro-athletics president in a while. I feel like things could get ugly in Ruston if they bring in a Jeff Landry puppet who tries to carry out Landry’s cost-cutting orders.

Unless there’s another Mississippi Buc-ee’s I’m not aware of, that’s in Pass Christian Mississippi…much closer to LSU than Ole Miss. Lot of LSU fans on MS coast
Gotta be real close to a landfall

Although the track has shifted north since yesterday. Looks like it may be in St. Bernard Parish instead of Plaquemines Parish. Shell Beach would be the closest community accessible by road
1 AM advisory downgraded to 50 mph winds.

Looking at the current cone we could have 3/4 different landfalls tomorrow

1. Cross over Plaquemines Parish near Buras, then back into water (Barataria Bay)

2. Cross over Lafourche Parish near Golden Meadow, then Terrebonne Bay

3. Scrape southern Terrebonne Parish, then re-enter Gulf

4. Final landfall near Galveston
Stephen A keeps getting massive contract extensions, and ESPN keeps having to do massive layoffs to be able to afford him.

What value does he bring to their brand? Nobody actually watches First Take, it’s just background noise at sports bars and gyms and doctors offices. I understand that the value isn’t in the show itself, it’s the social media clips generated out of the show that give them the best reach. But I seriously struggle to see how clip-farming alone is worth that much money.

If ESPN laid off Stephen A today, who would pick him up, how quickly, and what would his role be?
All of a sudden Ole Miss has a really good path to the championship series. North Carolina lost today. They just beat the other top team on their side of the bracket. Troy and WVU aren’t serious contenders.

Looking like Ole Miss vs Texas/Georgia for the natty.
I just fricking hate how unbalanced this bracket has turned out to be.

In the top left corner we have the 9, 13, 14, and 15, in terms of ranking the remaining teams.

While the bottom left corner has both the 2nd and 3rd highest ranked team.

And the bottom right corner has the 1, 4, 6, and 7.

West Virginia has an absolute cakewalk while better teams have to run fricking gauntlets to get to the championship. Hell at this point just don’t even bother playing the other games on the left side, the winner of Auburn vs North Carolina next Friday night in Omaha is a lock to reach the finals. None of the teams in the top left are serious contenders. UCLA and Florida could’ve been but shite their pants last week.
It was A LOT of luck. Troy wouldn’t be hosting a Super without chaos in the Hattiesburg Regional opposite them. Had it gone chalk and USM won, Troy would have to travel to Hattiesburg. Since Troy is a 3 seed, even if the 2 seed Virginia won in Hattiesburg, Troy would have to travel to Virginia too.

Something feels wrong about Troy getting an ABSOLUTE GIFT of a home matchup against a 4 seed while much better and more deserving teams like Oregon and Miss State get fed to Texas and Georgia.

West Virginia couldn’t be happier with how this bracket shook out. Under my system they’d be hitting the road to Kansas. Instead Get gifted a home Super against a 3 seed, then get to play either Troy or Little Rock game 1 in Omaha. 3 easy wins, Won’t be challenged until the 1-0 game in Omaha. Again while better teams than them have much tougher roads.

I want a system that rewards the best of the best, not charity cases like Troy and WVU.
The current system awards regional hosts based on who the best teams were during the season. But it doesn’t always do the same for Supers, as we see this year with 3 seed Troy hosting a Super while regional hosts Oregon and Miss State hit the road.

We’re guaranteed to have either 4 seed Little Rock or 3 seed Troy in Omaha just because of the dumb luck of how the bracket fell. Why not award Super hosts to Oregon and Miss State for being high seeds instead of Troy because of pure luck? Could get better teams in Omaha and thus better games.

SR matchups if we re-seeded, using selection Monday RPI to break ties between 2/3/4 seeds:

St. John’s at 3 Georgia
Little Rock at 4 Auburn
Cal Poly at 5 North Carolina
Troy at 6 Texas
Oklahoma at 7 Alabama
Ole Miss at 11 Oregon
USC at 14 Miss State
16 West Virginia at 15 Kansas
Calling Tennessee vs East Carolina. Best color guy in college baseball. Paired with Mike Monaco who might be the best PxP

Looks like big arse raindrops on the broadcast
You are correct. McNeese is a very average team. However, they have shown a high ceiling at points this season. Beat LSU in a midweek. Went 2-0(unfortunately) against La Tech in midweeks. Swept NSU final weekend of regular season. The pitcher Nachtsheim is a dude.
If the school is just now finding out about this, that’s late as hell to be trying to find a new coach. I realize he probably teaches too and had to stay for the rest of the academic year, but man, we’re closer to the start of next season than we are the end of the last one. Don’t even get to do spring ball with the new coach.
I was around in 2008 when Saban returned to Tiger Stadium. But I was young. Old enough to watch the game and know what’s going on in the game but didn’t know about the media and storylines and all that.

I’m legitmately concerned about Kiffin’s well-being heading into Oxford. Media making him out to be the devil, training every non-LSU fan to hate his guts. Was there this level of animosity and hatred from LSU fans towards Saban in 2008? Obviously we booed him pretty hard and were pissed he went to Bama, but there’s no way it got this nasty and personal like it’s getting with Kiffin now right?

Edit: I realize he didn’t go straight to Bama from LSU. I know he went to NFL first
