Won't happen I know, but I wish games on TV included info on each team's
NIL $$$. It's turning into THE factor determining winners and losers, but to watch a game on TV it's as though it doesn't even exist.
Like I said, I'm aware it will never happen.

Sigh. Well that's disappointing. I thought she was done wrong when CBS
asked her to leave - I guess not.

Go to an established winner and you better win right away. Go to a Kentucky
and enjoy a great salary and great facilities while they have to be patient (for years) while you build it. Just a thought.

I certainly don't know, but swinging and missing badly on 3/4 of portal
guys would seem to have quite a bit to do with NIL.

Shane recently hired a new WR coach. Mines was among the speculation there
before the hire but I have no idea if there was any merit to it.

I've always stayed fully invested (early 60s) but just recently I'm selling
and adding to cash every day. Sooner or later - and it will catch everyone off guard, the major buyers of US debt are going to say we don't want anymore - get your house in order. People speculate it could be a few years, but maybe not - and when it happens everything is going down very far very fast. I've ridden that ride too many times - too old to go it again. I'll take my 5% FDIC insured CDs (I hope those will be safe?) and be happy.

That's the first time I've seen it. That's a foul, or at the very least
it's marginal enough that I'm surprised at all of the outrage I've seen here. It's not just a lean forward bracing herself. She clearly slides to her right.

I thought he was all about getting back to Texas (the state). Is his
looking to get out a preemptive move before he's possible removed, or was the whole going back to Texas narrative overblown?

Yeah, I was more curious if anyone has a feel for the projected team
finishes. I'm not going to take the time to do the math on it, but I'll be following the results.

Pitt has better wins than a few of Lunardi's bubble watch teams. And a very
similar record. But I guess since they're in the ACC it doesn't matter.

Last home meet for Dave Cianelli. Anyone that can should stop by for a bit
and support one of (maybe the?) very best to coach at VT.

I think 20 of 30 teams make the playoffs? That kind of makes the regular
season a series of exhibitions - at least for the top teams.

Lunardi (I know, I know): currently 5 from Mountain West, 3 from ACC. Even
if it's only clickbait, I don't have to like it. Pick on another conference for a change.

Watching Kentucky/USCe and many, many times waiting for whistle to blow but
it doesn't. And man it's such a nicer product to watch when they're letting both sides play.

The head scratcher for me is the start. Didn't even look like the same game
I can't square that start with the rest of the game.

I feed my dog in the garage in the mornings, door closed but not latched so
she just pushes it open and comes back in when she's done. This morning she came back in almost immediately and went to the fireplace - I assumed she wasn't hungry. A couple minutes later she wanted back in the garage and I obliged. Came right back in the second time and I realized what she was doing. She would sling a mouthful of food in the floor by the fireplace then eat it there. She had decided she was going to eat inside one mouthful at a time. Like me, I guess she doesn't tolerate the cold well anymore.

Yeah it's frustrating for sure. ACC/SEC challenge ended 7-7 it think, but 8
SEC teams in and only 3 ACC according to Lunardi. So the narrative is set: SEC good, ACC bad - and now that conference play has started and all you do is play other conference teams, it's hard to change that narrative. As you said it's somewhat meaningless, but it still gets under my skin.

Yes indeed. The pass was the key. Look where Liz was when she released it.
She threw it to the perfect spot - even though Kitley wasn't there yet.

Without getting political, it can't help VT's case that southwest VA is
losing influence in Richmond. I don't recall the gentleman's name, but I heard someone from Cardinal news on the radio a week or so ago reeling off names of long serving central and southwest VA legislators that have recently stepped aside. He was making the point that influential voices advocating for southwest VA in Richmond are rapidly fading, and projects/favors they have secured in the past will be harder to come by going forward.

My 80-somethig Dad still likes the print version of the newspaper. If by
chance that's your situation extending the subscription by a year or a quarter or whatever isn't a terrible idea. Not exactly a great gift for the opening experience but somewhat practical.

Not that I've tried very hard, but the few times I've tuned in I've had
a little difficulty following the scoring. It's like they're trying to show team scores and individual scores - I just haven't engaged my brain enough to follow what exactly they're trying to show me I guess.
But I agree - even setting that aside it's not working for me. I keep reading how great it's going, but as long as their product is stuck on CW Network with bad ratings and small crowds I don't see how it makes it.
How many football leagues have tried to take on the NFL and failed?

Zach taking a lot of heat, but the way Europe was making everything I don't

USC-e has made tremendous strides academically. A lot of applicants think
they'll get accepted no problem and find out the hard way it's not that way anymore - especially for out-of-staters.

That part of the article seemed somewhat hypothetical/speculative to me.
I'm guessing the writer has no more idea of who's more attractive to P2 than the rest of us - just assuming things.

Seems like the backlash of PAC-12 imploding has been pretty strong. Any
chance the criticism of where this thing seems to be headed would cause ACC presidents - and maybe TV networks - to tap the brakes and take a fresh look at a way forward that is more sensible than super conference geographic hodgepodge? Sounds crazy I know - I just wish somebody in authority - and with options - would stand up a say enough already.

That would be taking a heck of a chance for those that didn't have an
assured destination. I don't see it.
