I don’t mind the score colors but agreed on the kit colors
It took me a couple of minutes to figure out who was who in the Switzerland/Qatar match. And I didn’t figure it out because of the colors on the scoreboard, but because of the names of the players.

Of course it’s more intense, because it’s only seven minutes
It’s like pointing out that sprinters run faster than marathoners.
If you want to go for most fit, I’ll take water polo.

It seems to me you’ve already made up your mind
But it might not hurt to try to understand the rules a little bit before you make an uninformed critique.

Hokie Mandy McGlynn in goal for the USWNT tonight against Brazil
US down 1-2 at the half. Goals were poor defending, not poor goalkeeping.

You might be right generally, but not in an elimination game
This is just a good old-fashioned beat down.

There’s no doubt I would always cheer for Tech over any other school
But when I go to an Oregon game, I wear Oregon gear. Just can’t see myself doing that at a Clemson game even if they’re not playing us.

Have any of you guys had a child attend another ACC school?
My daughter goes to Oregon, and because they’re on the other side of the country and we almost never played them in anything, I had no problem supporting them/her. (note: I did root for Tech against them in the NCAAW tournament).
My son is strongly considering Clemson. I don’t really have anything against Clemson, but I have a hard time picturing myself wearing Clemson gear. I’ve been told by others that once you start sending a ton of your money to any school, you will get on board.
How did others find the experience?

Fair enough
Yep, I watched the whole game, and all of both semifinals. I think USC used up all their energy beating UConn. And UCLA played just about perfectly today.

Do you have some sort of bet on the fouls called in this game?
It’s currently 17 fouls on USC, 14 on UCLA. And UCLA is winning by 30 points. But you’re upset about the fouls not being called on South Carolina?

Do you have Bedford leaving because of eligibility, or either way?
If he gets another year of eligibility, where would you place him?

That’s not a scam, it’s a strategy
We do it all the time, but we always offer the person in the middle seat to switch to a better seat. Not sure how you’re being scammed if it works out better for you.

Nah
It’s a bad loss in the sense that we had a chance to win. But ND is 31 in NET. Their record isn’t great, but they are not a poor team.

Both
Officiating is definitely favoring Notre Dame’s style of play (ie they’re not calling a lot of fouls on ND). But we’ve also made a lot of careless passes.

I couldn’t find it either before the game started
But once it had started, it popped right up in the top of my ESPN app.

Spent a week on St. John over Christmas
If you decide to take the ferry over that way, and need restaurant or beach recommendations, let me know.

This is the real reason schools are getting rid of it
But facts like these are likely to irritate everyone who thrives on complaining about participation trophies.

He didn’t need to be that close to him in the inbound
He needed to maintain position between the SMU player and the basket so he couldn’t advance the ball so easily. That should’ve been a 70-foot shot, not a 50-foot shot.

Just gave a “Go Hokies” to a guy at the pool at the Westin on St. John
If that guy’s on this board, I’ll buy you a drink tomorrow.

Split it up that way the first year, but then throw in promotion/relegation
Then those lower tier championships would actually mean something. Otherwise, in your proposal, they would feel like the NIT and CBI.
I know, it’ll never happen, but it would be perfect for college football.

Second time today I’ve heard UVA referred to as Virginia Tech
Clearly announcers are not used to talking about Virginia and football!

That would be UVA
Duke can play for the championship knowing they won’t have to play again. This is the last game of their season either way.

This is a great point
Why is it OK that a borderline playoff team like BYU or Alabama gets the ability to clinch a spot in the playoff with a win, but there’s no penalty for a loss?
I’ve generally been bought into the notion that a team shouldn’t be penalized for losing in their conference championship game, but I’m not so sure.
Football Board

Agreed
Though in that particular example, Ole Miss and Texas A&M only have one loss, and Oklahoma beat Alabama. But I generally agree with your point.
You could make the same argument for BYU. They have two losses, both to a top four team, one of which came in a conference championship game that they were required to play in. Compare them to Miami, who lost to Louisville and SMU, he didn’t qualify for their conference championship (though I think they would have won if they had).
I’m not sure what the right answer is. I’ll be very interested to see what the committee decides tomorrow.
