Yeah but it's like going after the caporegime and not the boss. ESPN isn't really the boss either, they are the consigliere. DISNEY is the fucking problem.

I'd say Disney is the reality.

It's only a "problem", or source of frustration, when people expect them to act in a manner inconsistent with their own self interest.

Going after the ACC is one and the same as going after ESPN.

ESPNU is strategically headquartered in Charlotte, NC bc of the ACC & SEC Networks (which are broadcast out of ESPNU's campus).

It's why it was so outrageous years back when an SEC refereeing crew was officiating a semi-final game between OSU and Clemson, knowing the ACC & SEC were basically family members.

This is correct, but I don't hear the domer AD going after the obvious villain here. He's going after the ACC, and that's why there's been such a backlash to his whining.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Maybe this is when the SEC and the B1G tells the NCAA to go pound sand and forms their own ruling body. Maybe TV leaves MACtion et al, and goes deeper into un-reality TV shows. Maybe, in five years, the SEC and B1G will be absorbed into one contract as the NFL farm system and all of my philosophical concerns about sports and education will disappear.

The more time that elapses between Saturday night and now, the more I view it was a necessary setback.

Would they be their absolute best if they squeaked out a 16-13 win? Maybe, but sometimes playing bad and winning can be worse than playing bad, losing and learning.

This coaching staff has shown that it has the steadfastness to drive home lessons even in victory, so maybe it wasn't as necessary as, say, 2024 TCUN was, BUT that was the players and the coaches both realizing things needed to change. Sometimes that takes a setback to get both sides to come together.

I still think they'll be ok going forward. It took everything Indiana had to beat them by 3 in literally their worst performance of the year.

Agree. IU had no answers for Smith and Tate. If they were utilized in the red zone instead of the ground and pound they tried, it would have been a win.

Day adapts and will do so in the playoffs.
