Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe ACC needs to stick it out and try to be that 4th major conference. There are currently 130 D1 FBS teams. If they are really going to do this right, the ideal number would be 128. I'm sure we can find 2 ***** schools to cut. Oh well to them. 128 teams provides the ability to do 4 Conferences with 32 teams (SEC, BIG(10), PAC, and... ACC?). Each conference has 4 divisions of 8 teams. You get scheduling options such as, each team plays every team in their division once, and then 1 team from the other divisions (for a 10 game schedule). Or 6 in-division, and 2 games with each other division (for a 12 game schedule). Or some other combination. Then you setup the playoffs so each Conference sends 3 or 4 teams to the playoffs. 3 teams makes the ideal 12 team playoff, but 4 teams lets you do each division winner. I dunno.

Tesla Owners - I'm debating one as my next car

A little off topic but my favorite saying on the subject... "In 10 years, only poor people will drive gas cars. In 20 years, only wealthy people will drive gas cars." -

Giants cut Kelvin Benjamin for what??
DrDawkinstein replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was really hoping the "cut for stealing food" tweet was real, simply for the memes it would have generated. -

I guess all of this helps the Saints get under cap at least? -

I take it the "stole food from facility" tweet was fake? -
Jordan Poyer Interview - OTAs June 2, 2021
DrDawkinstein replied to wppete's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
https://www.wkbw.com/sports/buffalo-bills/im-not-anti-or-pro-vax-im-pro-choice-cole-beasley-comments-on-viral-social-media-posts The most important parts: Beasley added that he plans to have no further comments on social media about the COVID vaccine. General Manager Brandon Beane told reporters before practice that “just over 80%” of the players have received at least one dose of the vaccine while the entire coaching staff is fully vaccinated. We'll se how the first point goes. But great news on the second to be up above 80%. Although that is just one dose. -
Tate Martell - 9 years in College. 2 years left.
DrDawkinstein replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in College Football
Thanks for the summary and additional detail. Interesting stuff. I totally agree that players should be able to transfer however, whenever, and where ever they want. However, folks absolutely gave Fields a ton of ***** about his moving around. Especially when he left UGA for OSU. Maybe I just hear more of it being down in GA myself, but he was the poster child for everyone who wanted to complain about the transfer portal for a good year or so. -
Tate Martell - 9 years in College. 2 years left.
DrDawkinstein replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in College Football
Which is the craziest part. All this maneuvering since he was 10 years old, only to end up with barely a college career and no NFL career. Kinda reminds me of Todd Marinovich, except he actually had a college career and was drafted. I guess once you start holding out your Middle School-aged kid and having them sit home for a year, you're already on a bad path (although it seems to have worked for Justin Fields, and I also learned Jimmy Clausen was 20 when he graduated High School). -
This is being discussed on Reddit, thought it was a good topic since this schmo has played for a bunch of teams that get talked about here. On this date 9 years ago Tate Martell committed to Steve Sarkisian and the University of Washington. He still has 2 years of eligibility left. Here's the timeline so far. Committed to Washington in 2012 Changed commitment to Texas A&M in 2015 Changed commitment again to Ohio State 2016 Redshirted 2017 for Ohio State 2018 played as a backup for Ohio State 2019 announced he was transferring from Ohio State to Miami After transferring he lost the starting job 2020 he opted out 2021 he transferred to UNLV Not even including the year his parents kept him out of school in Junior High to make him an "older kid" and to maneuver prospect classes. Dude is going to be 30 and at the Combine. Also, seems very spoiled and punchable. Thoughts?

The Big12 is DONE and DEAD. Split up the rest between PAC and BIG10. The ACC should start discussions to merge with the SEC immediately. I hate what is happening to college football. Dont get me wrong, I hate the NCAA as a governing body and welcome a new group in charge, but between the playoffs, expanding the playoffs, and this path to consolidation into 2-4 mega-conferences... I'm hating all the change. Quickly losing the down-hominess of classic college ball (if it isnt completely gone already).

Tesla Owners - I'm debating one as my next car
DrDawkinstein replied to Virgil's topic in Off the Wall
Our next car purchase will be a Model Y. Likely next year unless we can really stretch more time out of my wife's Corolla. No need for an X or S unless you just have a ton of cash to burn. -
Cleveland Indians announce their new name: Cleveland Guardians
DrDawkinstein replied to YoloinOhio's topic in Off the Wall
Or "Steamers" which would have kept the theme going with the "Browns" I shouldve known I wouldnt be the first/only to think of that -
I'm curious as to the language in the CBA regarding vaccinations, and what it will mean when the COVID vaccinations receive "Full Approval" from the FDA? Pfizer and Moderna have both applied for full FDA approval, and Pfizer's application was accepted for review last week. It is expected Pfizer could be approved before Opening Day (or close to it). And Moderna not far behind. Once they are fully approved and no longer "eXpErImEnTaL", I'd guess the NFL could require them the same way they do all the other vaccinations? And then that solves a lot of this back and forth.

Shady is looking for a three peat
DrDawkinstein replied to Might Rather's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The only value of bringing him in is as a good luck charm since he has 2 rings in the last 2 years. He is great in the locker room. Wouldnt expect a single yard of production from him. -
This was clarified earlier in the thread. They dont set bail for anything related to Domestic until after they see a judge. So he had to be fully Processed first.

This 100%. Players dont need CTE or mental illness to struggle greatly with the transition to the end of their career and out of the league.
