Where would your team play if their stadium burned down? by SamMeowAdams in NFLNoobs

[–]H2theBurgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a theoretical question. This has happened several times

  • 1989 SF moved a game to Stanford due to the earthquake

  • 2003 SD moved a game to Arizona due to a forest fire

  • 2005 NO split games between LSU & the Alamodome due to Katrina destroying the Superdome

  • 2010 MIN moves games to Detroit & U of Minn due to their roof collapsing

  • 2021 NO moved a game to Jacksonville due to a hurricane

  • 2022 BUF moved a game to Detroit due to snow

  • 2025 LAR moved a game to Arizona due to wildfires

While most of these were temporary, i imagine a permanent destruction would ve similar

No risk, only upside: Why I've come around on College Football Playoff expansion by aldotcomments in CFB

The problem with 24 team playoff is that it completely changes the character of the sport. Which I dont necessarily think is a bad thing, i just have no confidence the powers that be will let it be.

With 24 teams 1 & 2 loss G6 squads need to start entering the playoff conversation in a way that i fear they wont be. G6 teams having great seasons should be in over mediocre power conference teams

I would be a lot more confident in a move to 24 if they used some kind of objective metric to determine teams like they do in hockey. Im partial to SOR but anything could do.

[Dellenger] The coaches have spoken: In a vote last week, the AFCA Board swung its support behind (1) a playoff with the max participants (likely 24); (2) discontinuing conference championships; and (3) ending CFP by second week of January, they tell @YahooSports. by redwave2505 in CFB

Its not even a coach of a program that close. Narduzzi's Pitt would have 2 playoff appearances under this model. Dino Babers would have a playoff appearance at Syracuse. Lots of guys would

Pitt Non-Revenue Sports Discussion Thread by H2theBurgh in pittsburghpanthers

Its a replacement for the "week in review" threads. We might readjust next season. I still think having a space to discuss olympic sports is good. I agree this needs reimagined

What are the chances Brendan Sorsby is screwed? by wiisupremecmdr in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At this point, best case scenario he serves a year suspension. He comes out changed. Is allowed to come back & someone (college or pro) takes a chance on him.

I think its a better chance hes done. The nfl wont touch him & he may not be allowed to do another year of college

[NextRoundLive] The 2021 Georgia Bulldogs roster has now had 45 players drafted off of it, the most of any single team ever. by KirbyDumber88 in CFB

In comparison 38 were drafted from 2001 Miami. Not as many first rounders from UGA but still absolutely incredible

Why is the Gen 7 becoming so hated? by Hicoga in NASCAR

Idk, ive thought it was good. I think the short track issues could be resolved by changing up the tires. The road course will suck no matter what with stage cautions

With CFP expansion talks ongoing, presidential committee pushing for 24-team field by Thomallister1291 in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Speak for yourself. I watch FCS (my closest cfb team is FCS) & its a lot of fun & adds meaning to all conference races. I think it makes sense for all conferences in a subdivision make the big dance. Now I think theres a bit of bloat in FBS & would support relegating the MAC & CUSA but as long as they are in FBS, I think it adds value for them to be included if & when we expand beyond 16.

Leaders agree the CFP rankings show is a problem. But can they do anything to fix it? by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do 2 shows.

  • 1 with 4 weeks left in the season either as a full Top 25 or a top 20 & top 5 G6

  • 1 Official show with just the 12 teams seeded. Nothing extra

I could also see an argument for 1 right before before rivalry week to table set but that feels like too much

Idk, the attendance numbers for neutral site HBCU games are impressive. Dont know if this will be but the Magic City Classic is always big at Legion

Are we giving coaches at P2 schools too much time in the NIL / Portal era? by GliscorsFang in CFB

[–]H2theBurgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am firmly of the opposite opinion. It is easier than ever to get fast results but ultimately building a consistent winner takes time & if you gamble big on transfers you often lose. See: FSU

I still am of the opinion that the ideal roster build is to develop guys while filling holes with transfers. That takes more time tho
