georgia picking on bama’s like 5th corner

was wild to see Bama with that all too familiar exposed secondary look

Alabama's 5th corner is a 5* recruit
― Ssäm Sauce | Martha Stewart (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 11 January 2022 05:29 (two years ago) link
well, he was a 3 star junior college transfer. in any event, it’s still guys who don’t normally play. they got him on the PI where he tackled UGA’s receiver and then got the other guy (also a back up) on a PI on the final TD drive. georgia made plays down the stretch so hats off to them but bama was also grievously injured at CB and WR
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 11 January 2022 05:45 (two years ago) link
Ah, I thought you were referring to McKinstry. Agree bama had very bad luck with injuries in this go, even in the game.

HBTFD, y'all
UGA/Bama drama will continue long after I'm gone, but at least I won't have to listen to any more can-Kirby-beat-Bama stories
the best part is that now people in Athens can stop talking about 1980, Vince Dooley, and Herschel fucking Walker

congrats, man. nothing better than your college team winning the football championship...i bet
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 11 January 2022 18:18 (two years ago) link
yes, congrats! I'm happy that a new southern school won this year.
― Ssäm Sauce | Martha Stewart (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 11 January 2022 18:39 (two years ago) link
thank you
my sentiments about my alma mater and NCAA football in general are much more ambivalent than they used to be, but today I'm enjoying the shared buzz with a lot of family, friends, and former co-workers
― Brad C., Tuesday, 11 January 2022 20:27 (two years ago) link
Likewise Brad. I used to be a pretty diehard Dawg fan but I barely followed them this season. I did enjoy the game though
― Heez, Tuesday, 11 January 2022 20:57 (two years ago) link
Winning a championship is an amazingly difficult accomplishment and you hafta recognize it as such. But it all happens in a haze of big money, frenzied fans, crafty exploitation of young people's dreams, and a brutal cost in lifelong physical injuries, so your ambivalence is plenty justified, too.

lol @ UCLA and USC joining the *big ten*
sad that neither was good enough to join the SEC; maybe they can beat up on nebraska in the meantime
at this point we might as well skip ahead to almost all of the SEC (not you, vandy) + some of the larger B1G teams (OSU, PSU, UMich, WIS, do we even care about MSU or Iowa or ILL?) + Clemson and maybe UNC and conceivably Miami and FSU for old time's sake + Nike/Oregon = superleague
let's throw in colorado with the caveat that once a season someone gets five downs in their game
― mookieproof, Friday, 1 July 2022 01:13 (one year ago) link
So how long until the Big Ten and the SEC put themselves as "D1" football and take over and do their own championship?
Rutgers and UCLA in the big 10, that's so weird.
Got to wonder how long until North Carolina jumps in one of these super conferences. They are a big Nike school, not really a football power but a college sports power in basketball. Maybe them and Oregon both and I almost think so because of the corporate ties.
The basketball schools are a bit screwed, although I think what works in bball will keep on working with the tournament etc., but the NCAA will own that and the rest of the stuff. It sure looks like the football schools are going to take their ball and turn it into their own business.
― earlnash, Friday, 1 July 2022 12:54 (one year ago) link
seems like the plan is to eventually have two super conferences, one “big ten” and one “sec” (might as well just say north vs south lol)

There has already been some speculation that the right player (say like a Reggie Bush type) that was so popular, 'might' find it more profitable with the NFL rookie cap to go ahead and play another season as the imaging and likeness money could be worth that much.
― earlnash, Tuesday, 5 July 2022 22:18 (one year ago) link
i don't think a top 5 or 10 pick a la reggie bush would forego the guaranteed ~$30 million they would get over multiple years from the NFL for one year of NIL money. i think you're more likely to see it happen more w/ guys who are great college players -- particularly QBs -- who aren't projected to be first or second round picks bcuz then the money would be more likely to be even, but they'd still need to be at a school that could funnel multiple millions for one year. it's probably a really small group when you think about it... it's not like UGA's NIL donors or whatever were lining up to keep stetson bennett out of the draft. even if a guy like reggie bush could get $10 million for one year of college ball i'm not sure the reward would offset the risk of a severe injury that impacts future income

― mookieproof, Tuesday, 5 July 2022 23:44 (one year ago) link
yeah exactly, tho he did get picked in the first round anyway lol. but it might have been enough of a question that he would've taken a crazy bag to play at florida one more year

I wonder if in a collegiate super league players would still only have 4/5 years of eligibility. I could see a middling corner or tight end going on the slow plan just to hang around for 8 years.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 6 July 2022 18:41 (one year ago) link
But who am I kidding? In a super league, very few middling players will ever see the field.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 6 July 2022 18:43 (one year ago) link
Rumors are SEC goes to 20 teams adding Florida State, North Carolina, Clemson & the U.
Virginia will go to the big 10. I bet they go after Oregon.
― earlnash, Thursday, 14 July 2022 02:06 (one year ago) link
Louisville is a curious one...I kinda think there is $$$ in both leagues to say no way to those guys that and they had all the scandals, but you got to think that old oil money is trying to buy Baylor into the SEC.

UF has been blocking FSU for decades any time the subject comes up. Wonder if they'll relent when all that new money starts floating around.

i don't really care about college football reinventing/wrecking itself -- as ever, the biggest fishes will rule
seeing basketball programs dragged into it -- which they totally deserve, as they're no better, if much less lucrative -- is intriguing tho

It seems like this will totally fxck up the rest of collegiate sports, although in some sports teams playing in different conferences. While I am sure it would be a season highlight for say the Maryland volleyball team to do a trip to LA to play USC or UCLA, I got to think for most sports - this would be crazy expensive.
UK plays men's soccer in Conference USA as the rest of the SEC, only South Carolina has a D1 squad. The rest just play it at a club level.
