re: Chips are down: Is there a fired coach you once hated but look back more fondly now?

Houston Nutt. He was despised by most of the fanbase and I do think it was time to move on, but 2012 onward, in hindsight, has made me much more aware of what a solid job he actually did. He'd have clunkers against bad teams and then pull off an insane upset, it was definitely frustrating, but he never fielded a team that would go Ofer in conference (at least at Arkansas).

Hope they made him sit on a tack before blowing him up.

There are self serve automated kiosks that ask for a tip. Basically a vending machine asking for a tip.

His house kind of went viral when it went up for sale. While I could never afford it, it was definitely awesome to look at. I could tell he's a great guy just from that.

I doubt many of the "regulars" are paid, they do it for free for internet clout. There are definitely people who work for the show that call in to drive the conversation. There's one that tries to change his voice but has mannerisms that he can't change apparently. Whenever I hear him I know whatever he says will be the topic for the hour, and I only watch occasionally, it's that obvious.
It's so obvious it's staged, especially during the off season. A show employee calls in, says something controversial and all the "regulars" have a take on it. Then somehow that subject is completely forgotten and reset at the top of the hour

Online sportsbooks should be considered as entertainment only, and that is how they market themselves so everyone should view it that way. If you are actually profiting, they will limit the amount you can bet. If you only take advantage of promos, they will ban you from promos. They only want losers. If you see a screenshot of someone posting a huge boosted parlay hit on $5000 bet, rest assured, this person is a overall loser and has lost more to the book than that win otherwise they would have never allowed the bet to be placed.
When online sportsbooks became legal you could actually take advantage of promos since many companies were willing to trade off some loss for a gain in marketshare, but most went under and there are only a few major players left. Nowadays all the promos are a small boost on a multi leg parlay that doesn't even cover a small portion of the added juice. They may have a decent sign up promo, but that's just to get you hooked, and even those are much worse than they used to be.

Logistics would be a nightmare and you'd have to get a team that would "move the needle" to agree, which would have required pre-planning for this scenario. I've heard Puerto Rico also works because it isn't contiguous. 2 HBCU's planned to play there this year and the venue was changed last minute because of too much rain and they couldn't get the baseball field converted to a football field in time.
I'd love to see Pavia playing Utah or USC in a muddy baseball field in PR as much as anyone, but this could never happen.

Pat Narduzzi when asked if the ND game was a "must win"
"Absolutely not. It is not an ACC game. I’m glad you brought that up. It’s not an ACC game. I’d gladly get beat 103 or 110-10 in that game. They could put 100 up on us as long as we win the next two after that".

I wonder what the first LSU@OM game atmosphere would be like. The mustard bottle / golf ball game was well removed time wise @Tennessee. That will be next year.

Here are the cons:
You live in Baton Rouge.
Title expectations are just short of Alabama and Ohio State.
You have to live in Louisiana.
You are expected to complete for the SEC every year.
Pros:
Obviously a big up front contract.
Don't really need to compete to get all of the contract.
Sounds like a retirement plan job.

Have you ever flown in to Lincoln? It's not a very big airport to just blend in with the rest of the travelers.

Unfortunately, polls do still matter. They influence the committee on at larges. The G6 team and Notre Dame are probably the most impacted by opinion but the others as well.
As long as Notre Dame can not drop 3 games they'll be in because of their opinions, sometimes maybe even 3 given the national scenario.

re: Will you ever eat at Cracker Barrel again?
Posted by Robert Shields on 8/27/25 at 3:02 pm to CatsGoneWild
JoePa was still alive the last time I ate there and it was bad. I'd rather have waffle house for anytime breakfast since it is about the same quality, cheaper, and faster. The lunch and dinner is bland garbage.
Only remember the JoePa thing because the diddling scandal was just breaking.
I can't actually think of one major sit down chain I wouldn't pick over cracker barrel, never realized what a hater I was until this started making the rounds.

Think he's fine for now but once you have a sizable group of fans wanting you fired, there's never been a level of success that can make it go away completely. Honestly think had he lost the Indiana game along with the Michigan debacle he'd of been canned. Team is just too good to accept that. His overall record is insane. Don't know if a Tennessee loss would have got him fired but really think Indiana would have.

They can pretty much live on their own. I knew a couple that had a few and barely cared for them so if it is a pet it might be days before they know it's missing but apparently they can go feral too.
