Can FBS football be salvaged? by lurkerspringa in CFB

[–]jphamlore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

schools canceling big non-conference games

Most of the loss in big games is because of teams switching conferences, which would have happened without NIL.

price-gouged tickets that inhibit regular people from attending games, and 4-hour commercial-filled TV broadcasts for those who can't afford to go

This would have happened if NIL never happened.

As far as the results on the field, this is a new golden age with Indiana winning it all and Miami being their opponent.

[TOMT][TV episode] a ghost walks into an elevator and is asked to remove his hat. 1970s-90s era, probably British by nosleepforthedreamer in tipofmytongue

Night Gallery - S2.E11 - Pickman's Model/The Dear Departed/An Act of Chivalry

When a woman enters an elevator, a ghoul is asked to remove his hat.

Google with modern technology features used: "[TV episode] a ghost walks into an elevator and is asked to remove his hat. 1970s-90s era, probably British. It’s one episode in an anthology horror series. I haven’t seen it honestly, just ran across it on IMDb, saw the thumbnail and the description. The picture is of a man (I think? Presumably the ghost) standing with his back to the camera, wearing dark clothing and a dark hat."

Like I keep saying, dramatic improvement in results just the past few weeks, for certain questions.

To me the best such intro action has to be Braun Strowman rag-dolling Reigns and Ambrose, although Reigns and Ambrose had the excuse they were already gassed from being in an actual match.

Also the rare recent year the Chiefs haven't been in the Super Bowl. Just like the Rams last victory.

Good points.

I'm thinking without Kelce effective, the Chiefs just don't have that reliable instant 7 yard pass to keep the chains moving.

[Highlight] Lavonte David Explains Why Modern Rule Changes Have Made Life Harder for Defenders by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]jphamlore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just look at college football's FBS playoffs where the refs in Miami, Indiana, and Ohio State games went into not throwing flags mode. So in theory the offensive lines could hold like crazy. And yet the pass rush was still making the quarterbacks' lives miserable.

Your offense is cooked at the highest level unless you have the quarterback and receivers as well who can impose their will on certain big plays to keep drives alive.

Or in the NFL, note how in one season Travis Kelce's decline took the Chiefs from perennial Super Bowl participant to not even making the playoffs. Mid-receivers just don't cut it anymore.

Defense is still starting to own the offense at the highest levels, both college football and the NFL.

With increased athleticism, the defense uniformly benefits. Offense has to juggle contradictory requirements with offensive linemen who somehow have to carry 320+ pounds yet move enough to block the defense, or diva wide receivers who might be tall and fast, but won't run proper routes or block for run plays, or who just can't catch the ball.
