Congrats. Can any of them play QB?

frick ND, but if any fan base doesn't deserve a championship it's ped state.

the Elon biography is worth a read. It's fascinating to see how childhood neglect, insane drive and focus, and intelligence all came together to create one of the richest men to ever live. Also, I don't care how hard you work that guy will make you feel lazy. He put in investment banking associate hours for ~3 decades.

Haven't read Cash.

Don't like it, but this is correct. A 10-2 SEC team finishes in the CFP Committee's top 12 100x out of 100.

I loved Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge, which is kind of like a cross between The Purge and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

To me, it seems like the perfect fall horror book: season and ambiance are a big part of the book (the bad guy is called October Boy), and the author works hard to pull you into both.

(It's better as a pre-halloween read but whaddya gonna do?)

For A&M, I'd change it to McNeese State or Bowling Green at home. None of the other teams on our schedule have been very impressive

Not denying our always a bridesmaid never a bride history that could lead one to reasonably conclude that Kyle Field was built on an Indian graveyard, but NIL and the transfer portal changed the game. The "take 4 years to develop your players and integrate them into your program culture" days are long gone. You're gonna see traditional powers lose/be outbid on star players, and teams generally shuffling pieces around like crazy. Think John Calipari in his 1-and-done heyday except every program is gonna be doing it.

In short, I don't know WTF to expect, but I'm sure a lot of poons on the rant will complain about it and accuse the winners of cheating

The AP and coaches polls are the best example I've ever seen of anchoring bias. Unless you lose, it's almost impossible to drop more than a spot or two no matter how awful you looked.

Way back in 2007 I watched A&M barely beat Fresno State at home due to a fluke unforced fumble (if Fresno hadn't fumbled, they would have won). We avoided a loss to a mid major only because of a 1 in a 1000 play, yet the polls came out the next day and A&M had climbed a few spots. That's still the general SOP: make your preseason rankings and then adjust them based on W/L and nothing else. Other than top 5 matchups, SOS is almost completely ignored.

The whole game was so funny to watch. Ole Miss had about 10 chances to put it away, but they kept dropping big passes and interceptions and shanking kicks, and on the final LSU drive of regulation gave up, what, 3 4th down conversations?

It's was like every time they started to play great football, they remembered they were Ole Miss and let LSU back in the game.

I have nothing bad to say about him. I love him.
