The irritation on Saban's face after that Steve Miller pick 6 is the joy crack promises but will never deliver. #TwasTheNightWeBeatBama

Someone at 2day church said to me "I saw your son on tv. He got a 15 yard penalty." I wanted to say "I saw your kid on Cops." But I didn't.

Thanks for posting them here @NJ-Buckeye !

Subject to NCAA rules, the playoff will provide "reimbursement will be capped at $1,250 per parent or guardian."

Urban Meyer also gave a fist pump when he heard the news about players' families and travel money.

Just checked roundtrip flight costs from Columbus to Dallas-Fort Worth, leaving Jan 9th (Fri) and returning Jan 13th (Tues), and there are many seats still available for under $800 per person. My math says that's $1,600 for a mom and dad, leaving $900 for hotel and meals before having to spend any of their own money.

We're talking travel expenses for mom and dad though, which could be anywhere in America, or even from a third world country like Cleveland. And $900 for a hotel for a major event doesn't go very far when you've got twelve days before you even know you're going to book it.

Hopefully this process is refined to give some flexibility to the guardians so that don't wind up having to float $6-10g in travel expenses between CCG, Bowl, and NCG before they see the reimbursement checks. Even with a stipend/outright reimbursement, that's a huge financial burden for some families.

For Annie... flights to Texas are abysmally priced out here... actually more than a flight from Honolulu... best Newark non-stop is almost $1100 per... same as Portland-Dallas
do families or players get free tickets?

confusing site... Annie would probably be mad leaving Dallas before the start of the NC...
and when I selected a return flight.. it wanted $600...
then when I went to 'book' the flight... pops up with .. can't book it unless you donate to our legal defense fund
as Colonel Jessup stated.. "I don't know what the hell kind of unit you're running here?"
