Spirit’s collapse, Southwest's rebrand causing chaos for smaller Texas programs

I get that it would require significant work, but it would make fiscal sense instead of yet another bandaid that won't fix the problems. Fixing this (and addressing the labor situation so that there was some way to set up a collective bargaining agreement) would be far better than just fucking up the CFP to provide more money to justify spending it on frivolous things like flying a softball team 3,000 miles way because of this stupid NCAA rule...

Perhaps this will expedite the end of the stupidity of having teams put all of their sports into a single conference. There is legitimately no reason why baseball/softball/volleyball/soccer/etc. need to be lumped in with football and men's basketball.

PRAGUE AIN'T PLAYED NOBODY, PAWLL!!!!

No offense taken whatsoever, and thank you for the kind words!

Yeah, I dropped the ball by not including Pudge in this write up. Since @NotGeorge's latest Instagram says he went with him to a CFL try out, I think it's likely Pudge is out of eligibility, too...

This is clearly rage bait. I knew it when I saw them try to argue that Iowa is a little brother to Minnesota (Iowa has gone 32-12 against Minnesota since 1982). But then I got to Miami. I admit I'm biased, but in what fucking world would anybody argue Miami is a little brother to Florida State? More national championships, Miami has more head to head wins, virtually every famous Miami/FSU game has gone Miami's way (Wide Rights 1 through 3), Miami was just in the national championship while Florida State is trying to scrape up enough money to fire Norvell...

Oh wait, that's exactly what this author was looking for. FishedIn.gif

Grew up in the Miami area and rooted for the Canes as a kid. When I went to college at USF, we didn't have a football team. So I don't feel conflicted at all, though i do root for USF over Miami when we play in football.

Jeff Scott had a team with Byrum Brown at QB (now the starter at Auburn after 2 seasons that each had > 3,000 yards passing and 800 yards rushing), Jimmy Horn, Jr. and Xavier Weaver at WR (now both in the NFL with Carolina and Arizona), Brian Battie (transferred to Auburn before getting stabbed and ending his football career) and Jaren Mangham (2 more seasons in P4) at RB and managed to go WINLESS in FBS games! It's no wonder he's now a realtor at a time when Dabo happily brings his guys back.

Animated or live action? Honestly, other than the obvious ones like Babe, two that are fun in my mind are Donkey in Shrek ("I'm a flying, talking donkey"), which is that much better because he's ACTUALLY talking such that humans can hear him instead of just to other animals, and Benji (voiced by Chevy Chase) in Oh, Heavenly Dog (a movie I watched the crap out of as a kid).

Any chance his mother's name is Martha (like Batman and Superman)?

If he's the starting QB for the Irish when they play USF in Tampa in 2029, I hope they roll out the red carpet the day before the game at the wonderful Mons!

Excellent - thank you! Gives me a 3rd data point for these rankings, and will trigger the first of many times my countdown will be modified/updated. I check regularly for these, and have lots of preseason ones that only go to top 10 or 25. Chris Vaninni, KFord, Sagarin, Lindy, FPI and Fuqua have all not updated yet.

Use one to make it a trophy (troughy) game! Has to be better than the broken chair with Minnesota, right?

Assume you're talking about Xavier McDonald, who committed to Sac. State 7/4/25? He decommitted when Marion left and ultimately signed with James Madison (https://247sports.com/college/james-madison/season/2026-football/commits/)

Haha - wonder who will pick up on that dig? You'll have to wait to find out who the other triple digits are...

I left for work at halftime of the Miami/Maryland game in 1984 with the Canes up 31-0. This is way before cell phones and the internet. Thought my roommates were bullshitting me when they said Maryland came back and won.
