Speaking of a spring scrimmage I’ve seen rumblings that coaches are asking to have real scrimmages in spring and fall practice, especially if they quit playing a directional school heavy pre-season. Or are those considered exhibition games as well?  The directional school games, not scrimmages of course.

Directional schools are exhibition games. 

That is, until you lose one of them.

They have some kind of voodoo on us....Saban nearly lost to Troy early on at LSU.  Les Miles' Tigers almost lost to Troy again in 2008, needing a furious 4th quarter comeback of about 28 points or so.  Then Orgeron succeeded where Saban and Miles had failed....he actually managed to lose to them.  Unlike the lack of focus the other two coaches could claim, Troy was just a flat-out better team than LSU at that point in 2017, who haplessly hung on to a win through no fault of their own a week prior against a terrible Syracuse team.

The problem is that college football is almost exclusively reliant on polls and perception over actual W/L standings. We have "pre-season" polls. Any action that might influence that perception isn't "pre-season" at all. A practice scrimmage that one team wins and the other doesn't will still change voter opinion, and therefore has meaning.

The Dallas Cowboys can goof up as many preseason games as they want. Their ability to make the playoffs will be determined by their record in season. If TAMU tanks against Blinn in a closed practice, they'll fall from #6 to #11 in some preseason poll.

Most of them are, I think, rather well done.

I find them hit or miss.  I think people who are fans of SEC schools probably find them more humorous than others do.  

But there are definitely some good ones.

This one's funny but cruel.  Or maybe "and cruel" is more correct.

I think there's some good food in B1G land.  Chicago is known for its culinary prowess.  And Nebraska has the runza.  Whatever that is.
Nothing comes close to possum on the half shell over on the Forty Acres,maybe corny dogs
