I don’t think you fully understand how hard it is to beat a team who has a player with a 99 score on clipboard holding. Arch Manning is an absolute legend in that regard
His comment about only playing in Austin is exactly why we’ve always known t.u is insufferable and everyone who isn’t familiar with them is starting to find that out. We’ll play you, but only so long as we get all the money. Now does everyone understand why we didn’t play them after we left the big dumpster fire?
CBK isn’t going anywhere. He just got a massive gift with Saban leaving and a shell of a team. At this point if their defense steps it up marginally then go ahead and book the trip to Atl. Although they do play A&M in College Station this year, but still I only see them with one, maybe 2 losses next year. Why would CBK leave that and go to a team that just lost all of its major talent, facing a very difficult schedule , and facing the NCAA with major sanctions on the table. No thanks.
Really, if you're on scholarship and choose not to play then you have violated the contract between you and the school. You are receiving a scholarship to play. If that occurs and the player decides to transfer, then the NCAA should force that transferring player to sit a year.
I think there is a really easy solution. If you sign an NIL deal and you opt out of any game (healthy scratch) then you forfeit that year's proceeds. If you transfer after signing an NIL deal and only playing for one season, you can't sign another deal/ have to sit for one season. The first part is all in the contract the players sign and is up to the people offering the NIL to put it in the language, but the second part can come from the NCAA. That would at least force the players to seriously think about which schools they commit to and cut down on some of this absurdity.
Yes, we had a ton of lost talent from the portal, but can we also mention the Elko has the #1 class in the portal right now. It giveth and taketh. Our defense next year might actually be better, even with the losses.
Can we please not mention the name Fran. It has been eternally banned from use in College Station
A&M also had a huge number of opt outs and injuries but you didn’t see them roll over and quit. They also fielded a QB in a bowl game that had his first meaningful action. That FSU team looked like the same GA team that lost to TX in the Sugar Bowl, uninterested and pissy they got left out of the playoff. This time of year numerous teams are playing without players who were key during the season, time to stop using opt outs as an excuse for not showing up as a team.
So then I guess Brett is forgetting that FSU barely got past a Louisville team that lost 4 games… It’s about the team that was fielded today and not the one the first week of September. The outcome was predictable because their offense was totally inept without their QB, it didn’t matter who they played in the bowl games. That’s the real reason they got left out.
You don’t know Texas State. A BAC of 1.0 is required to get in.
If 4&31 didn’t happen it still doesn’t matter. Bama would have still gone to Atlanta and GA would have lost to a 2 loss team. What it really would have meant is that FSU would have been in and the argument would have been TX and GA for the final spot. Given how much ESPN really wants TX to be back it would have meant that the SEC would have been out of the playoff. End of the day it doesn’t matter because the dog didn’t stop to take a sh*t and he caught the rabbit.
You clearly have no concept of the UCMJ, or the Constitution. The armed forces have no function in securing our borders. Jesus dude read a book and get a life.
Not going to lie, one small tear was shed hearing the intro music one last time. Next fall is going to be very different not hearing it, and while I won’t miss hearing Gary, I will miss the nostalgia of that music kicking off the biggest game of the week.
Bama’s best win >Texas’ Bama’s worst loss > Texas’ that is what it would come down to. Bama lost to a conference champion, Texas lost to a team that didn’t play one.
Sorry, this is about the 4 best teams being in the playoff. Nothing about what happened tonite says FSU is in the top 4. If we are looking at the 4 best teams it’s Michigan, Washington, Alabama, t.u./Georgia. Putting FSU in the playoff would be just as embarrassing as TCU was last year, except FSU won’t win the first game.
Shut up and take my money. This game always hit at the right time of year when nothing of import was happening in the sports world and held us over until kickoff. My calendar for August is already blocked
Don’t think the portal matters as much for those teams you mentioned since they essentially get the pick of the litter in HS recruiting. It does matter for other teams like FSU, UW,UO,TCU who are on the fringe of making the playoff, or TCU who went to the NC last year.
This is Jimbo 2.0 with worse recruiting. He won with generational talent, just like Jimbo, and without it he flounders. If we are dumb enough to hire him we won’t be relevant for another 15 years.
Ah yes, lean on “it’s a violation of team rules” bs. Nevermind the fact that you could be using the opportunity to teach kids who will be playing next year, or even next quarter if things break badly. Nope, let’s have movie time during an as$kicking.
Good. That takes one coach we didn’t want off the board. We just fired a coach who couldn’t win big games, why would we hire another one.
As much as I wished this would happen I agree. A&M could offer him $100m per year and he wouldn’t leave. He has a machine running at GA and A&M would need quite a bit of work. I think A&M kicks the tires on Dabo (huge mistake), Lanning (again won’t leave), deBoer (he might leave for the right price), and Elko. Part of me thinks we have contacted someone (maybe Urban) and made significant progress on contract talks otherwise the timing is highly suspect. You don’t fire a coach like this 3 weeks before signing day without some kind of plan.
I do believe I made the comment at the beginning of the year that Jimbo had to win 9 games out he was out. A&M was not about to let Jimbo win 7, coach us next year to another 7-8 win season and lose to t.u. In their first year in conference.
Nothing says southeast like a November game in Michigan. Not going to happen, either way. SEC wouldn’t bring Michigan in, and they don’t want this smoke. Talk about a dumb, shortsighted decision, get caught cheating so go to another conference? They’ll whine and moan for the rest of the season and forget about it next august.
Isn’t this the same story that got us on that road? Hire a coach from a weaker conference that got to the playoff because of its weakness and won championships with generational talent, and the foundered once that talent was gone. This seems like launching multiple brinks trucks for us to be in the exact same position 6 years from now. I would much rather see a coach like Mike Elko who has done really well with less talent and resources.
We’ll have that inside hour. Not worried about the buyout. Keeping him will do more, long term damage.
Joel Klatt is also a moron who would argue why a 3 loss Ohio state team should get in over an undefeated GA team. No one in this conference should care what he has to say. Both teams have 1 loss and if either makes it to Atlanta with only one loss it won’t matter which one it is. Bama lost to a better team at home and A&M lost on the road, both in week 2 and the committee won’t pay a lot of attention to the difference if GA wins the SECCG.
