    B1G considering $2B private equity deal

    Given the nature of an athletic conference, I'm not sure the PE group is looking for increased profits through cost-cutting and other standard PE moves when they buy an interest in more typical operating companies. I think they're looking for increases in conference cash flows that would in...

    Question: How much longer will Freeze be the head coach at Aubarn?

    Starter, team captain, and presumably team leader dismissed for, "not meeting expectations and standards." How barn is that?

    Pate - Vols at Bama prediction

    I'd rather have no mistakes. But if I have to tolerate them, let them be from a freshman. At least he has a realistic chance of improving. Only tangentially related: It'll also be interesting to see how the staff's willingness to publicly challenge players will go over in this day of the...

    Video: Pate on SEC officiating (UGA-Barn)

    The barn did get jobbed in the Georgia game. The fumble at the goal line gets all the attention. But it was so close. Whether it had been ruled a TD or a fumble, I don't see where replay would have overturned the call on the field. The real officiating mistake on that play was the early...

    BREAKING James Franklin Fired Per CBS Sports

    Agreed. I don't know what the deeper problems are, but they'll eventually become public. Whatever they are, they couldn't have had much impact in 2024, and blew up inside of a month in 2025. There are multiple credible sources speculating that Adidas tied its sponsorship deal to Franklin's...

    BREAKING James Franklin Fired Per CBS Sports

    I don't know what it is, but I think there's something else going on here. Last year, Penn State went to the playoff and won its first game, losing to Notre Dame by 3 points in the second round. This year, as the meme points out, they led #3 Oregon in OT. Now, 6 games removed from the CFP...

    The national debt continues to rise

    Interesting. Congress got a spine at a point where it looked like Trump was done. Now that he's not done, the spine turned to jelly. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the second half of his second term.

    The national debt continues to rise

    I agree. Trouble is, not only has Congress ceded power through inaction, in some cases (like tariffs) they have done so with actual legislation delegating power to the President. And yes, Congress could take it back. But no President, red or blue, would ever voluntarily give up power. So...

    UAB fires Dilfer. How long until it’s Bama’s Fault?

    Give the al.com hack about 5 minutes to say that if only there were an Alabama - UAB game every season, UAB would be relevant inside of 3 years. Therefore it is obviously Alabama's fault that Dilfer failed.

    I realize there are lots of factors in translating volume of alcohol ingested into a BAC reading. Still, acknowledging it won't be scientifically precise, I'm curious. Let's assume the person in question is a male, 5'10" tall, 175 pounds. And he's been drinking at a steady rate for 4...

    CKD on the Difficulty of the Current Four-Game Stretch

    Interesting statistic: Every team we have played so far this season was undefeated when we played them. This week, we play UTe who has one loss. So through seven games, our opponents will have lost a total of one game when we play them. Is there a team in the country anywhere close to that?

    Social media is destroying our humanity

    Yeah, there’s a lot of holding people (especially white men) to today’s standards for conduct that was normal and accepted at the time. Regarding the bolded passage, you’re asking a much bigger question, and I need to ponder. On one hand, I saw enough people under duress do enough bad stuff to...

    Game Thread: Other games | 10/11

    That barn play at the goal line should have been TD barn or TD UGA….it was a close call, and I could see it either way. But UGA ball inside the 1? That’s an SEC ref call, wimping out in the clutch. How did we ever reach this level of incompetence?

    The national debt continues to rise

    First, the national debt and the deficit are two different things. The national debt is the accumulation of debt over 250 years. The deficit is the ongoing annual addition to that total debt. Second, the Republicans and Democrats are culpable in both. Neither has done a serious thing about...
