I hear Luton Town is lovely this time o' year

 

How far out of his technical area should he be allowed to go?

 

Aaah....he was carded for excessive celebration! Having had that experience with one of my teams...I know the feeling.

 

I don't know who troll football is, but he's either a gloryhunting City, Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester Unuted fan, or an Arsenal fan stole his girl.

 

And this is why there is no more conferences. It's a power 2 and some people they allow to sit at the table.

 

No they really are people that troll everybody. Mainly EPL teams.

 

Anyone watch the youtuber Lee Gunner?

 

There are conferences still. And it's really a Power 1, plus the L1G and the Little 12.

Northwestern won the Big Ten a few years back. Contrast that with Vanderbilt winning the SEC.

 

Would you rather they have that weasel Isiah on the team.

 

Did that hurt you to write that?
Also I didn't know he was from Weston New York up until about 10 years ago.

 

The ESPN 30 4 30 was informative. I just assumed he was some Duke LAX type. He is actually from a workibg class home.

 

Yeah it was watching that when I found out he was from WNY. He went to the richest private school in the area, but only cause his dad was the janitor, which I didn't know.

 

Uh...Maintenance Specialist if you please!

 

"What did Bookman do on Good Times?" (RIP Norman Lear). Go to 2:20 mark for the answer.

 

It doesn't work for the Central Floridas of the world. It might generate some legs with FSU, probably will. Thing here is, they're probably gonna lose their next game to the same team that would have beaten them if that team had won the SEC and stayed at #1. If they beat Georgia, they beat a team playing for nothing but the logo.

There is something they can do. The ACC is a Power 5 conference, but it's top tier in basketball and the private school sports only, kind of like an East Coast version of the Pac-12. They probably win titles in shit like dressage, fencing and badminton. It's a two-horse conference in football (FSU and Clemson), and this season one of those horses never got out of the barn.

What individual players can do going forward is make sure they aren't playing in a basketball conference. They ran up against Texas and against the Southeastern Conmference. It was mathematically inevitable that one of these days, there'd be a logjam of undefeated teams and an SEC champ that isn't. Sucks they got caught in the eye of the storm.

Read the first two pages of this thread from 2009 covering the bowl games.

You're seeing my 2009 take, six seasons after #1 in both polls USC was snubbed by the B(C)S in favor of Oklahoma, who lost their conference title game against Kansas State. It's exactly what I wrote in the paragraph above. I've seen it too many times to be pissed off about it any more. It's the reality of college football these days. I have a suspicion that Bama is going to win this tournament and then the people who didn't want them there will REALLY be upset.

Truth, this happened in part because when Auburn was snubbed by the 2004 B(C)S committee in favor of Oklahoma, the SEC made the kind of stink about it that no other conference had the gall (or the talent/history) to do. Two seasons later, their representatives went on a run that hasn't yet shown signs of abating, and there is no chance of an SEC champion being left out of a playoff- because it really does mean more here.
