QB Kirk ‘Nightmare On’ Herbstreit (Frosted Quips, False Narratives Clown, Afraid of THE Lunatic Fringe)

It’s officially “watch old games while on the treadmill” time of the year for me, and I’ve come here to reinforce how unbelievably stupid and useless the “Herbie’s clicker” analysis is…. oooooh, he makes the video go back and forth repeatedly while talking about the play!

It’s an annoying gimmick built entirely on people’s internet-conditioned lizard brains liking to see images rapidly looping and zero percent on Herbie saying something helpful or insightful about the play.

2028 OH WR Lorenzo McMullen Jr. (Verbal Offer)

Has anyone else noticed that Cincinnati schools are producing more, and better recruits than Cleveland (and nearby environs), and certainly more than Columbus? And drilling a bit deeper, more recruits from Watterson than the entirety of the Columbus Public Schools? (Could add DeSales in there as well). What sort of secret sauce does Cincy have?

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

WOW! How can one compare two DL's, when one produced on the field, and played such an important part in winning a National Championship, versus one that has a shit-ton of promise, but hasn't seen one down on a collegiate football game? Maybe the point I missed, but just tapping the breaks a tad here. Would be more than happy to compare statistics, win/loss/# of Nati's etc AFTER three years. Hope the results are comparable, I really do. Comparing accomplishments made to potential, but yet unproven can be a slippery slope.

Atlantic Coast Conference (Official Thread)

Sources: FSU, Clemson expected to reach settlement with ACC​

Florida State and Clemson will vote Tuesday on an agreement that would ultimately result in the settlement of four ongoing lawsuits between the schools and the ACC and a new revenue-distribution strategy that would solidify the conference's membership for the near future, sources told ESPN on Monday.

The ACC board of directors is scheduled to hold a call Tuesday to go over the settlement terms. In addition, Florida State and Clemson have both called board meetings to present the terms at noon ET Tuesday. All three boards must agree to the settlement for it to move forward, but sources throughout the league expect a deal to be reached.

According to sources, the settlement includes two key objectives: establishing a new revenue-distribution model based on viewership and a change in the financial penalties for exiting the league's grant of rights before its conclusion in June 2036.

This new revenue-distribution model -- or "brand initiative" -- is based on a five-year rolling average of TV ratings, though some logistics of this formula remain tricky, including how to properly average games on the unrated ACC Network or other subscription channels. The brand initiative will be funded through a split in the league's TV revenue, with 40% distributed evenly among the 14 longstanding members and 60% going toward the brand initiative and distributed based on TV ratings.

Top earners are expected to net an additional $15 million or more, according to sources, while some schools will see a net reduction in annual payout of up to about $7 million annually, an acceptable loss, according to several administrators at schools likely to be impacted, in exchange for some near-term stability.

Just sayin': Besides getting a new revenue distribution model based on viewership and a change in financial penalties for exiting after 2023; both (i.e. Clemson and Free Shoes) undoubtedly came to the realization that no other conference wanted them.

:lol:
In which case, why wouldn’t Duke and UNC demand the same from basketball revenue?

WR Julian Fleming (transfer to Penn St.)

All things considered, probably fair. Deserves some time for a reckless decision but he will feel his real punishment the rest of his life no matter what - the loss of his girlfriend.

I hope this is not something that derails his life and he’s able to find some peace and good doing in his future.

Favorite photos you've taken

A picture I took in York back in 2006. My wife had a convention in Birmingham and she thought it would be fun to rent a car and explore England. I had never driven on the left side of the road and GPS didn't really exist but I somehow managed. That's not to say that there wasn't a few harrowing moments of me getting lost in Birmingham, looking the wrong way before pulling out onto the street or going north when I should have went south. It was a great experience. It was one of those things that if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger.

Lane Kiffin (HC LSU)

Joey Freshwater strikes again! And what do you think he should have said? That LSU would win the Nati in four years when he gets his recruits under his control? Not certain that would have flown down there. So of course he's gotta say year 1 for Nati! So basically means he's got one year to come up with reasons/excuses/people to blame not winning on. He'll do the Texas Two-Step.

Technology Gone Wild: Rise of the Machines

It might actually work pretty well; except that, if the info. it's using is basically whatever addictive algortihm driven crap people are looking at, it won't. For generations in lots of cultures, parents who knew their kids well arranged marriages (outside of the purely political/monetary royalty/aristocracy arrangements) that worked out pretty well.
