Sankey was a moron for not agreeing to a bigger playoff. The SEC would be loaded this year in a big playoff. Instead you’ll get 4 teams in and maybe 5 if Sankey gets on his knees like he did last year. But since those 5 teams choked it will be hard for the committee to diss others in the SEC’s favor again. With a real possibility of Miami and Louisville going undefeated that’s 2 slots. If ND’s only loss is to Miami that’s 3 slots vs. only 1 last year. The add Indiana and Ohio St and a Big 12 team and a G5 team and that’s only 1 more slot for a 3rd BIG or a 5th SEC. The committee would definitely give the spot to the conference that has won 3 in a row. That’s why I’ve never understood SEC fans not rallying behind a 24 team playoff. That ship has sailed and now it’s just a matter of how many years will good teams be left out until we get it.

You guys sure have an odd view of privacy. When you walk outside or drive on public roads you aren’t in a private setting anymore. How hard is that to figure out. I’m in my house watching football right now - that’s private. When I go grab a pizza later I’ll be in public all the way there and I’ll be on video when I walk into the pizza shop.

I have no issue with public cameras flock cameras and they aren’t going away. I also have no problem with any cameras on private property. I have 5 outdoor cameras on my property and I like having them.

Ha ha. Yeah, calling people names is really fun message board stuff. I’m a SEC homer, but the SEC hasn’t given me crap to brag about in 3 years. You immature guys have been relegated to “TV ratings” as your go to. Do you not see how ridiculous that is?

Everyone understands that southern fans watch and love football more as a percentage of its citizens no different than northern fans watch more NFL. But yet northern teams can win Nattys and southern teams can win Super Bowls.

I’ve predicated for this year that the SEC has 1 team that can win the Natty - UGA. And I believe they will win the Natty as they are the best overall team and best overall staff. I think the BIG has 2 teams that can win it - Ohio St and Indiana. I believe the ACC has 1 - Miami. Now, did Texas just beat Ohio St? Yep, at home in an incredible comeback. But does that mean I believe Texas is better situated to win 4 straight games against high level competition? Not even close. Can Ohio St? I don’t know but I think they are built to do it more than Texas.

But,we all know injuries are gonna come into play during November so December is still an unknown. I call it like I see it and the BIG has simply dominated the playoffs the last 3 years in a row. That’s not insignificant.

Traffic is for those passing thru Atlanta. Not living in Atlanta. I just spent the weekend in Atlanta going to the Braves game Friday night and GT-Tenn last night and driving home today. No traffic at all while in the city, but I sure did see the connector packed of people who don’t live in the city. That’s why demographic shifts are coming to Atlanta, People are starting to move back into the city from the burbs so they don’t have to sit in traffic 3 hours a day. But I took surface streets from midtown to the battery Friday night for the Braves game with no issues. But, sure, if you want to hang out with people driving from to Florida from up north then go get on the interstate.

Atlanta is what it is. An awesome city with everything you need from a living and fun perspective. Sure, it has no Great Wall or Empire State Building but it has money, jobs, and liveability. And it’s becoming whiter year after year as the old sections are being renovated with condos and apartments. My kids live on the belt line in the old 4th ward and I was upset when they told me where they were looking. When I helped move them in and took a walk on the belt line I could have been in Nashville, Central Park, Dallas, or Seattle as it was all young smart well paid people walking, jogging, on e-bikes, or scooters. Sure, there were your typical mentally ill idiots laying on benches or going thru garbage cans but I’ve seen that in every city or town these days.

Yep, the answer is kids have more options today and football is being seen as the sport of morons who want to damage their brains with hopes of making life altering money. Any smart athletic parent is pushing their kids to baseball - more money and less risk. And when we reach the tipping point for where soccer actually makes money in the U.S. then you’ll see major shifts away from football.

According to my calendar, it’s September. Not one of these games matter. None of them. All the top teams are still right there waiting for playoff spots. These teams will be different in 3 months when it actually matters. If I’m the SEC, I look around and realize UGA and possibly LSU are the real Natty contenders. The rest are Miami, Ohio St, and maybe a few others. But 3 months is a long time to get there.

Doesn’t surprise me. When given a choice always take the easy road.

The beauty of the portal and NIL is that we will have a lot more competitive games across the board. Yes, both GT and Colorado are going nowhere this season but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good college game. We’ll see the same type game 30 more times in week 1 as teams are finding out what they got.

This is just so funny. No one is getting kicked out of anything. The SEC won’t do a thing. It’s all just words.
