What's the worst change that's ever been implemented in CFB?
I kind of liked ties, though I didn't at the time.  Some team would be 8-0-2 and, well, then what?  The OT system strikes me as too random, I'd settle for kissing my sister, I think.

So he dropped out after a semester?
I’m not certain of the whole story, but in those days A&M was a military college, it was during WWI, and he went to West Point.

On the original topic here, my team just lost a heartbreaker in a humongous game and . . .

I really don't care. I mean, I'd rather if they had won but the loss doesn't have the sting as losses in prior years. The Buckeyes still control their own destiny to the playoff and NC and they probably even control their own B1GCG destiny. 

The loss does hurt my team but realistically only if they also lose another game or two. As a stand-alone loss, it makes little or no difference

MSUs AD released a statement today that was essentially saying we wont be using all 105 scholarships.  Based on a couple of insiders its because MSU, which is probably somewhere in the middle third of the Big Ten in contributions, cant pay the NIL to make those additional 20 players worth it.  I cant wait for the split, to just be done pretending

Removing the transfer sit out restriction.  They never should uave opened the door with waivers, and then removing entirely, to avoid paying players, when it was so clearly coming down the tracks anyway, was so incredibly short sighted

Izzo came out with some interesting statements on how mistakes were made with the Covid year, portal and NIL. I can't imagine he's long for this shit.

Real talk about roster limits and the dark reality of what it means

Coach Rhule - go to the 23:30 mark

I suspect this playoff thingee is going to blow up this year in some respects, and start to be "revised".  I heard somewhere it's only good for two years anyway.

I kind of enjoy this sort of mayhem and molar gnashing.
