Bamapossum

I have read quite a few whinefests today about why the CFP doesn't work, why new rules should be enforced, etc... "We have Bama/Clemson fatigue!"

Stop bitching when you got what you asked for. Also, changing things isn't going to change the outcome. You are still going to get mostly Southern teams from Southern states winning the championship. Even if Alabama and Clemson decide to shut down their programs after Monday night, they will simply be replaced by other Southern teams. Here's why:

1. Football is a cultural thing here. You can call it what you want, but it is what it is. Most Southern boys don't grow up dreaming of playing for the NHL,or being the best soccer player, or winning that championship in badminton. They want to play football.

Southern people embraced college football almost 100 years ago. And those perennial powers like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, and every other team that were considered great knew they were essentially screwed. They started their own little league and bowed out of real football.

Southern schools MAKE money on football. Money that provides all those neat stadiums, workout facilities, practice facilities, rec rooms, training staffs, dietitians, and other goodies. Oh, and they also put money back into the general funds and provide money for regular student scholarships. Your NHL ticket didn't do that, our sold out stadiums did.

We love college football, and we support it. We teach it to our children. Many Southern states don't really have professional sports, so we support collegiate athletics.

2. You can reduce scholarships again, but you are still not going to out recruit most Southern teams. You are just going to cause fewer underprivileged kids a chance to go to college. There are around 130 FBS teams. Only about 10 or 12 of those are going to attract 4 and 5 star recruits on a consistent basis.

3. A playoff was created because YOU believed that the SEC was just some hype machine. Your teams were as good, they were just being left out. After being consistently skull dragged (with the exception of Ohio State), you think sacrificing more of your poorly recruited, badly coached, unsupported, and rarely-skilled teams to Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, etc... will make a difference? Let's face it, the CFP bitching PROVES you don't actually want the best teams to play. You want your team to be there, whether they are good enough or not. Hell, I am with you to a certain extent. I would love to watch a bunch of guys with the SEC patch on their shoulder teabag your champions an extra time every year.

4. All things come to an end. Alabama will eventually lose again. Who knows how long this can last? I am riding every glorious moment. I was born in 1970, and I have lived through ups and downs with my favorite team. When Bama finally declines, your team might have a similar run. Nebraska had a run. Oklahoma, USC, Florida State, Miami, Florida, the names go on and on. The worm will turn eventually. Don't try and turn NCAA football into the NFL so you can "feel" better.

I wish we could have one year of UCF playing a P5 schedule. Almost every SEC or ACC team would run the train on them like a roofied chick at the ATO house. Heck, Arkansas might even get some sloppy sixths or sevenths.

Sorry, but that logic doesn't work. These are the longest NCAA seasons that have ever existed. I do not expect Alabama to lose, but if they did and didn't get in, the conference championship games need to be shite-canned.

Alabama VS UGA is not equal to the other one-sided conference championship games, or even not belonging to a conference. Anybody can lose a game if chaos ensues.

Making "winning your conference" a requirement for the CFP completely undoes its purpose for existence. It would penalize teams for being in a strong conference and playing a conference schedule. I would be in favor of going independent. Who is Notre Dame playing next Saturday? Should they get in without winning a conference championship?

There will be down time, and there will be up times again. Alabama has been playing winning football for a very long time. What we are seeing now is unprecedented, but Alabama has never been a weak team unless they had a bad coach or sanctions.

Obviously he has to be on the take as well. The only way for this horrible conspiracy to take place is for the complicit actions of White. After all, it wasn't just any player. He waited until nearly the end of the game, then did as he was instructed.

I would definitely check his garage for any new Dodge Chargers. :rotflmao:

Okay, here is why this is a dangerous abnormality:

1. Insane parents are pushing and prodding children to assume gender bending dynamics at unbelievably young ages. Some as young 3 or 4. Children that age shouldn't even know what a gender is. Ever read or watch I am Jazz?

2. To deny that this is a mental illness defies logic. It sets many of these "confused" people up for serious medical problems and mental problems indefinitely. If I walk into a doctor's office and say I want to remove my healthy foot because I feel like it needs amputating. They will refuse and make sure I receive mental health counseling. If I want to have a healthy penis or breasts removed, they will send me be mentally evaluated so they can begin the process. I will be given hormone treatments and coaxed into my "lifestyle".

3. Women's sports are going to suffer greatly. Even with hormone replacements, a man is bigger, stronger, and faster. A woman who is taking make hormones is bigger, stronger, and faster. Real women are already losing events to "female" competitors.

4. Women and men have thousands of biological differences. Plugging in some hormones and putting on a costume does not actually change the biology.

5. When this behavior is endorsed and supported by media, universities, and other organizations, it is a clear nod to moral relativity that will continue to erode the foundations of common sense and normal society. These people are sick, literally. They are mentally ill and should be treated as such.

IMO, the true level of commitment and love required to fuel a happy marriage is simply not conducive to open marriage. Once one, or both, begin to have extramarital affairs, the insecurity and destabilization begins. No matter how "open-minded" these people are, they are human.

My wife and I have been together for 24 years, married for nearly 22. I know that we have both been faithful to each other, and that makes a big difference. If I found out tomorrow that she had sex with another man, it would effectively be over. I would expect her reaction to be the same if I had sex with another woman. We are not selfish, we are loyal to each other and our vows, because we are still in love after all this time.

I am not only committed to my wife and children, I am committed to the idea of having a healthy, loving family and a healthy marriage. My grandparents had these kinds of marriages. I didn't learn it from my parents' generation.

There are a lot of simply bad ideas here from multiple sides. Yes, I am a teacher. No, I am not in a union. I am about as conservative as one kind find.

1. School choice is a lie, and thinking vouchers will open new ones is a bigger lie. Why? Schools are not profitable. Never have been. Never will be. Aren't vouchers just another approach to Pell Grants and student loans? Most areas are simply too rural to offer school choice.

2. Comparing US test scores to foreign scores is comparing apples to custom grown square watermelons. We teach and test EVERYBODY who goes to school in this country, AND we send EVERYBODY to school. Only the best and brightest even get to go to school in many countries. While little Johnny Merican with a 78 IQ and his many similar friends are attempting to take the ACT (I am not shitting you), little Kim Wong with a 78 IQ is working in a lithium mine, sewing Nikes, or making Iphones.

3. The mass majority of Americans, regardless of their race or gender, are more concerned with the distance of the school from their workplace, the sports possibilities, or how "prestigious" the school appears, rather than actual results.

It's much more complicated than most people understand. Even I have a hard time pointing to many viable solutions. The students are a genetic and social product of their environments, and the schools are generally a reflection. Mountain Brook High School will be the best high school in Alabama for a long time, because 84% of the adult population has at least a bachelor's degree. The schools in impoverished areas, with broken homes, and adult illiteracy will never succeed beyond a certain point. The culture is toxic.

Real science and stuff...supposedly.

I wonder if they are all the same, or if they get a choice of flavors?
