That tweet has some big Michael Scott vibes.

So, are you going to be Oscar and explain to him that's not how it works or shall we let him believe he's now in the witness protection program?

Those guys are poseurs. Tuxedo Yoda and Tuxedo Baby Yoda were more reliable

I can find the exact quote if needed, but last week the sec commissioner basically said they weren't looking to expand and ha e the best athletic conference top to bottom .

I am guessing he said that after having to wipe the egg from his face. Last month was lamenting the fact they only received 8 bids to the NCAA tournament and that there were too many automatic bids (read small conferences). After which he saw more than half exit in the first round despite all being higher seeds. In any case, if the networks find a way to pay for it, he would not outright dismiss adding FSU or Clemson.

The only place that fits . She neglected athletics for over a decade and let ucf move up to power football. If she wanted a  statue at the ocs; then she should have built an ocs and ipf when she was at the head of usf.

So, we're getting bidets in the stadium restrooms?

Just saw that one of his offers was from EASTERN Carolina 

I am sure you know, but for those that don't, their followers get so bent out of shape over that perceived slight. I know most of us just laugh at the ignorance over "Southern". Fortunately, their fans don't come here often so what they don't know about can't upset them.

Might as well do whatever you have to do...like a minor league team.

Haha, it's always very confusing when Rams play each other and both teams have chants about Go Rams!.    Also, I come in peace, just to lurk mostly.   If anyone is interested in lurking on our boards it's pretty active and can be found at vcuramnation.com.  

Very good. I think most know a VCU fan is not like the fans of the miscreants to the east (ucf). This is true even though VCU has a large edge in basketball built up in our years together in the Sunbelt and Metro. 

The American cornered the market on Owls, the Atlantic 10 has Rams.

He reminds me of these guys on Youtube that "predicted the 2008 crash" but predict a crash every year forever.

Or the guys who every year predict an "active" hurricane season. This guy is Tuxedo Yoda with a beard.

Should leave the AAC immediately. There isn't a single worse conference. I'd sooner join the sun belt and make 500k instead of 7 million.

Looking at some of the teams on there, im pretty sure most any decent coach can go 20-5 or so. We all know doing that at USF is quite the accomplishment.

In all fairness to him I doubt he remembers that 

Probably. I barely do.

“It’s a travesty baby, Coach Amir is a diaper dandy” that would be his quote before they wheeled him off for more jello.  Hope this helps.

For as long as I can recall, he called the USF men's basketball head coaching position the toughest job in America.

15 freaking finalists and he's not one ..... totally absurd.

I agree. I would be interested in getting **** Vitale's thoughts. 

I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe

But at least I'm enjoying the ride

At least I'm enjoying the ride, yeah

At least I'm enjoying the ride

Two of the most asked questions since the late 90s were "when will USF build a football stadium?" and "when will Ford bring back the Bronco?" .

Good photo. Still, isn't there one with you surrounded by Sun Dolls?

Apparently USF is on a whole other level. Tons of G5 schools hate USF while rumors are swirling around regarding a USF invite to one of the so called power conferences…

Let me guess who is the worst. You can give me three chances but I only need one. Our old friends and perpetual haters, the purple Pirates of EZU.

Sorry.  I probably did.  I've seen enough sympathy for FSU on this board.

I'd like the playoffs to start after about three games.  Run a huge double elim/round robin, use the 9 weeks or so to determine a real champion.  Other problems emerge i.e. team's early eliminated..etc.  Conferences won't matter (I vote for that!).

 

Do not confuse pointing out the illegitimate playoff format as well as ESECPN hypocrisy as  sympathy.  I laughed at the idea they were left out from a fan standpoint. I loathe the fact that it happened to an undefeated team who did have to overcome a few bad breaks along the way.

But if you added their QB was not functional and/or half the team got caught up in an FBI shoes sting, we'd have even more confidence...

I think you may have missed my point.  The argument is not who belongs or doesn't.  The issue is it is a bogus playoff format. 

Somewhere Steve Spurrier is  smiling on the shoes point. 

I do not like any of the teams involved and certainly have no love to lose for the miscreants that are known as FSU. I  hope you all going back and forth about who belongs and who doesn't in the faux playoffs realize the pure folly of a sport where you can never be defeated but still cannot become a champion.  Even if you have a decent schedule and win all of your games you still have to be scored and chosen to compete. Football is not ice skating or gymnastics and should not be left to subjective choices. Instead of trying to protect the bogus bowls, the powers that be should have installed a legitimate playoff years ago. There is a reason why the NFL is KING. 

Now, if I had said in August I bet that FSU would go undefeated and that includes wins over (name brands) LSU, Florida, Miami etc. and told you they would not be invited to the playoffs, all of you would have lined up thinking you were going to take easy money from me. 

Finally, one of the catch phrases I had heard often over the years when I made the mistake of turning on ESECPN is "body of work".  Well, I believe the Bama game I saw up close and personal, I saw Bama's offensive line getting beat often against (pains me to say) one of the worst defenses in college football the last few seasons.  I reject the premise of "body of work" just on that alone. If Alabama was so superior to FSU, they would have manhandled, yes manhandled the USF defensive line.  They did not.
