I don’t care who you are or how old you are. You do that flight - you have jet lag. End of story. Whether or not you can overcome it and perform is a different story. But there is definitely a difference in how these teams are feeling right now. It’s just a fact. Gotta overcome it though. Pretty crappy on the nfl both teams aren’t feeling the same.
Im watching Eli and Peyton and they have no clue what to say. it's kinda funny - they clearly (and admittedly) planned to spend the entire game talking about Rogers...now they are pretty clueless what to talk about - except what they WOULD have said if rogers was in.
This is probably the right attitude. A few years ago we were the underdog. The surprise team that took the league by storm. That helps being the underdog. Last year we were supposed to win it all (so we thought). For a million reasons - that didn't happen. Now people are expecting us to just be back in the pack. Gives us a chance to play that underdog role again. We're a good team. We're a Super Bowl team. But we have to scratch and claw our way there. Nothing will be given to us this year. Thats a good thing. And barring significant injuries - we should be back in the AFC Championship game at a minimum.
So we’ll have a big 10 East and big 10 west. Essentially it’s big10 in the big10 East and pac12 in the big10 west. And then they compete in a conference championship game for a playoff spot.
then we will have the SEC north (ACC) and SEC south (SEC) and the same will happen there.
That’s what should have happened years ago. And a couple wildcard slots too. Sounds about perfect to me!
(I kind of hate what is happening in college football overall - but this seems to be the right “end”. I just hate the “means”.
Yup. And in college guys like Joe Paterno (spare me the scandal stuff - the last 10 years were a mess even without that) & Jim Boeheim. You want to see people go out like Coach K. But sometimes they just hold on too long.
He should be on the hot seat. The sooner they replace him the sooner they will be on their way back to contention. He won't be the coach when they get good again. This is the problem with aging legends - nobody wants them to hang it up - but really - they need to. They are hurting the team.
