I recall it being political, but why? Do you happen to remember? Was it purely based on the optics of tax payer funded stadiums = bad? I'm not a Chicagoan (grew up about an hour or so east), but when I first saw that video rendering, my mindset was that of Wrigleville 1060, or what downtown...

I'm not sure I'll ever get over the rejection of this plan: Bears release plans for stadium project in Chicago I was so pumped for that to happen. Can someone fill me in, again, on why that got turned down?

I'll grant you that premise of top 2 from the big boys, but can still make a case for ND: Bama with a blowout loss in the SEC CCG should've dropped to #10. ND would've moved up to #9. Note: Bama isn't getting punished by being excluded from the playoffs. They're simply dropping one spot...

That Gary Grizzly merch gonna be fire!

Right. That’s my point. If academics aren’t a part of this, is Notre Dame?

That's great. I just wonder what would happen if a football indepedent "League" is formed. Say the solution is a NFL-style 64-team super league with four divisions. ADs, GMs, salary caps, contracts, transfer limits, etc. Revenue sharing through the networks with the highest bidding. Where...

Seems to me the genie is out of the bottle. College football isn't going back to what it once was. The day multi million dollar contracts started getting signed for coaches, players, facilities, plus the un-regulated transfer portal, etc was the day they turned CFB into a minor league farm...

Sounds to me like the feelings towards the 2027 class are that it'll be better than 2026.

I uploaded this into Google Notebook LM and it created a podcast for me. It's something I plan on sharing with everyone I know. But first....I need to add a few more bullet points to the discussion: Lack of recusal, ESPN ownership of the CFP rankings show/Playoff games/SEC/ACC/Big12 among a...

This is incredible and needs to be sent out far and wide. Every single media member needs to read this as mandatory reading and then ask themselves why ND, despite all of this, still got left out. The answers are obvious, yet no one wants to get into that snake pit, apparently.

Or Brice would like to maintain his status among contacts. Pretty common quid pro quo agreement within journalism. Brice going scorched earth on the committee would undoubtedly get him black listed. So self preservation kicks in and he stays quiet or deflects. Just speculation.

This has basically been my jumping off point with anyone who's been trying to debate me in my personal life. I simply ask them to explain why they believe the CFP committee is capable of getting that right and the other 15 polls got it wrong (including Vegas). They almost unanimously will...

There are so many pro-ND arguments right now that you could write a book about it. Anyone still chirping about sour grapes, join a conference, etc have absolutely no brain and no desire to see through their ND hatred into what's really going on with CFB from a 30,000 foot view. I'm exhausted...

Both of my kids slept on me for what felt like months. We struggled with my daughter for a couple years before it clicked. My son is now 7 and he still gets up every single night. We’ve tried everything. Just gotta embrace the phases. It the moment it feels awful but if you can trick your...

Break into her house and hold a butter knife to her? Seems like a control your own destiny scenario. Too soon? I shouldn’t joke about that. Feel for that family for sure. Love ain’t coming back. But crazier things have happened.

Bama should've been out, absolutely. But I think you're drastically diminishing the benefits of using analytics to discern between teams who have the same records. How do you feel about Oklahoma, for example? If you want to completely ignore computers, fine. Go back to pre-BCS era, where they...

Please formally submit your complaint to 1993 Florida State. And when you do, make sure you use pen and not crayon.

Glad they labeled that thread as "Not political" before asking a political question. Michigan fans....I'd expect no less.

Right. It's stuff like this that people point to when they claim "ND gets special treatments. They get to have their cake and eat it too." Of course this isn't true and it's more nuanced that that, but it doesn't matter. Propaganda and gaslighting commences. Blind sheep continue to pound the...

I really need to take a break from this stuff until next fall. Between your comments here, the stuff about the non-recusals, even this report on the MOU....I'm so jaded towards CFB right now.
