We all have hear the stories of unruly fans for teams such as OSU & Tenn. I’m so glad to see this touching story involving both fan bases banning together. Prayers to the little Buckeyes fan & his parents fighting navigating this medical challenge & huge praise to the Vols fans stepping up to help.

Eugene ain't bad
Well, it's fucking awful for reasons that would get into politics which this board isn't meant for
Oregon is a fantastic state.
We're just very confused

Word on the street is that Allstate purchased the title sponsorship for the first round games so hopefully we'll get a new Mayhem commercial.

Every time talk about playoff format changes comes up, I'm reminded of this Grantland article from 2013.

The beauty of college football was always that. It's been sterilized, manufactured, and commodified losing all character and charm.Every time talk about playoff format changes comes up, I'm reminded of this Grantland article from 2013.

Counter-point: The away team hijacking the home team's PA system will significantly *increase* the level of pissed-off-ness from the home crowd.
"Finally, for one round, the FBS postseason will have true home-field flair, and the CFP wanted to make sure the games felt like home games. All 134 stadiums were eligible. Although schools can choose a neutral site to host, Clark said Wednesday that every school in the mix this year plans to use its home field. Schools can hold their normal home game rituals, including run-out music, third-down crowd prompts and traditions between quarters. Clemson can run down the Hill. Oregon’s duck mascot can ride out on a motorcycle.
The visiting team will also be allowed to use its traditional run-out with music and a video, if it would like, according to the manual. If the visiting team brings its band, it, too, will perform at halftime. Both bands would get six minutes and 30 seconds as part of the 22-minute halftime – a break two minutes longer than the regular season but normal for previous CFP games.
The field will be painted as normal, with a CFP logo somewhere on the field, and the CFP will provide goal post wraps. The CFP will control digital signage and in-game entertainment. If you hate the recent trend of stadiums flashing all their lights after touchdowns, some good news: That’s not allowed. Schools must cover up any lower-bowl advertising that might show up on TV and use CFP sponsors, but their field sponsorships can remain. The game officials are pre-assigned by the CFP."

The CFP released an 87-page manual to schools in August, but the work is still ongoing to prepare for a quick-turnaround Playoff game.

Don’t get me wrong. As a state it’s beautiful. My sympathies were directed to the confused aspect. Lol

If IU plays any entry video and music, Irish fans will drown it out."Finally, for one round, the FBS postseason will have true home-field flair, and the CFP wanted to make sure the games felt like home games.

So it’s just pregame then?
I was at the Montana at South Dakota State FCS playoff game last Saturday and this is what they do for those. About 30 minutes before the game, they played the away team intro video then the home team intro video. Then after that, it was basically treated as a South Dakota State home game. SDSU has a countdown to kick-off video plays before home games during the regular season, and they played that just like normal. The band played like normal. The stadium announcer was the same as during the regular season. All of the video graphics were the same as during the regular season. I imagine it will be the exact same at the FBS level.

Reading that tweet is like having the "it's terminal" conversation with your doctor but he thinks the disease is super cool.
"Athletic departments are going to need to cut their Olympic sports departments, so that's happening soon 😉. The good news is that the suits think we can squeeze way more blood from this thing since the NFL has already been monetized to the tits! Stay tuned bros!"

I heard people say early on this will likely end Title 1X. I think the ripple effect will be tremendous.

Herbstreit is on our side, which means ESPN might(?) be on our side. In the CFP selection show he was openly complaining about how some weeks this season had 4 or 5 marquee games and other weeks had 1 or 0 and he was pretty fired up about it.
More inventory doesn't mean better inventory.

Another way that NIL spending being done intelligently really matters.
His numbers are actually better than their starter

Would Notre Dame force a team to pay it?
They let Kelly walk for free.
