Running off-season CFB thread

[franticscribe]

I love that Ole Miss has a tab on the front page of its athletics web site called "NCAA Case" that links to all of the Notices of Allegations and responses, and a few other informational items. Not sure I've ever seen that with a school that's under investigation.

After years of taking a beating for failing to be transparent in its handling of the academic scandal, UNC did an about face a couple of years ago and begin extensively publishing records - including all the NOAs and responses on this website:

There are enough documents there to keep N.C. State fans from ever needing Viagra.

Upon careful review, I believe this post belongs in this thread. Just got back from two days at Saratoga. Let the record show that in the fourth race on Friday, two of the entrants were Roll Tide Roll and War Eagle's Return. I felt I had to bet them for the SECers on the board. Not wanting to play favorites, I had each way exactas on them. They may have finished by nightfall, but by then I was at dinner. If this is an omen, there's hope for LSU this fall!

You should have known better. Each trainer (or owner) probably sabotaged the other horse.

The second Braves field to be converted to a college football stadium.

The second Braves field to be converted to a college football stadium.

What was the first? I know they played some football at the old Atlanta Fulton County, but I don't think it was ever converted for college football.

Ah, interesting. My caveman brain often forgets that the Braves actually existed before 1966.

At first look, I was like, WTF, why is the scoreboard set back from the corner of the end zone? It looks like they did as well as they could given the financial limitations.

Amazingly, the one person I've heard sorry to see him go (that doesn't spend every Saturday in the Grove) is Finebaum. Go figure.

Not shocking. Feinbaum is an SEC superfan. Freeze had a successful run. If they somehow overcame sanctions and got to reset, that's better for the SECessionist Conference.

Someone beating Saban consistently was great for Finebaum. It meant a lot of calls that generated even more calls.
