Ohio State over Texas ( I think they're just a bit better and playing at home)
Clemson over LSU (Clemson rarely loses at home and more rarely a home opener)
Notre Dame over Miami (I just don't trust Cristobal in a big game)
Most unfortunate. I wish him well in his recovery. Jess had the RB's rated as only average before the injury so now I guess we're below average. On the plus side our offense is tilted toward the passing game so maybe that opens up a few holes for the remaining RB's the times we do run.
If I were the OC I'd be upset that the HC doesn't have the confidence in me to call 3rd down. Auburn was ranked #61 in 3rd down conversions last season. That wasn't great but wasn't horrible either. Teams like South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida and even Georgia were worse in 2024 and had a better...
Everyone seems to have Texas #1 and yet they are the underdog to Ohio State in the opening game. First time a preseason #1 has been an underdog in their opening game since 1978.
One key call that I remember occurred during the 2012 SECCG vs. Georgia when in the 3rd quarter Saban decided to go for a 2 point conversion after a TD. It wasn't such an obvious call to make at the time with a full quarter remaining but the game ended 32-28 with Georgia knocking on the door...
Their first 3 games are Nevada, Florida International, and Villanova. That's about the biggest cupcake non-conference schedule I've ever seen for a P4 team.
I have to disagree strongly with Pate's downside of 6-6. If that happens with the talent we have then CKD will probably have to look for another job. I'd have to say 8-4 absolute worst case. I agree 11-1 best case but my most likely outcome is 10-2 along with an appearance in the playoff.
He's just playing psychological games. When you cannot match the talent of your opponent on the field all you can do is try to get inside their heads. Just because Malzahn had some success against us in the Saban era doesn't mean he'll have success again. Although I'm not an X's and O's guy I...
The 2018 NCG featuring 2nd and 26 was my favorite win with the 1979 Sugar Bowl featuring the "Goal Line Stand" a close second.
The toughest loss was probably the 35-31 loss to Clemson in the 2017 NCG on the Renfro catch at the very end. Another tough loss was the 1983 game at Penn State when...

I think if a settlement is for personal injury or illness it is not taxable but for most any other thing it is. The amount you owe depends on your federal tax bracket and your state income tax rate.
My uncle liked Jimmy Swaggart before he got caught with the prostitutes but I'm not sure what he thought of him afterwards. His SonLife Broadcasting Network is on my cable system so I saw him on there. He lived a lavish lifestyle with a mansion, a private jet and luxury cars at the expense of...
The problem I have with the 1982 Penn State team is that it could be argued they should have perhaps had 2 losses and not played for the NC . The week before they played us that season they played Nebraska at home and got help from the officials on the final drive when the officials said Mike...
They should call it the PAC-3 since there's only 3 teams (WSU,OSU and BSU) that have a legitimate chance of winning that conference for the foreseeable future.
