    I've never been for this system. In fact, have still not watched a playoff game.  I just watch the bowl games.

    This, only I've quit watching college football completely if the schools I attended are not involved. Even then I do not watch all of those games live, catching most on condensed games and highlight videos. 

    My preference would be to eliminate all of the bowl games and have a true playoff like FCS division. All conference champions get a bid and at least 6 at-large bids. I might start watching again given that scenario.

    Saw him at last year’s Georgia Tech game. Dude was still pretty big, he will scare the hell out of those kids when he gets pissed 😂

    Thor has been Clearwater's OL coach for the last couple of season, so the kids have an idea. He was also coaching track, I think. I look forward to the possibility that my grandson could be playing for him in a couple of years.

    son of a *****..... there they are.... how do I get them to stop going there?

    I am not sure how Google determines what is promotional, social, updates, and forums, but to eliminate the separate folders and have one unified inbox ...

    Open gmail in a browser.

    Click on the gear in the upper right hand corner of the gmail web page.

    When settings dialog box appears, select all settings. This will open the settings web page.

    In the settings web page click on the Inbox tab. 

    Set the Inbox type to Default.

    Uncheck all of the categories except Primary.

    At the bottom of the page click on Save Changes. 

    All of your emails should now appear with no tabs and all together in your inbox.

    I'm in a hotel room in Detroit and was without TV because of a moderate rainshower.  I'm wondering what percentage I'd be out of service in Tampa.  Are you finding that as an issue?

    I had DirecTV for years. We had outages due to weather, but it was workable. However, they priced themselves out of the market, at least for me anyway. 

    Sorry I did not see this sooner, @CousinRicky . Text me if you still need help. Have mask will travel. 

    FWIW, I have YouTube TV and am quite happy with it. For Mrs. S, I subscribe to NetFlix, HULU (base account), and Amazon Prime, where I also subscribe to Showtime, Acorn, and Brit Box.  When Mrs. S wishes to binge watch all of her CBS shows, I will pick up CBS All Access for a month. I also have the base account for FrndlyTV, so Mrs. S can watch all of her Hallmark channels. With all that I still save over $100/month over what I was paying for DirecTV. 

    I do not own a smart TV. I have a Roku on the big TV in the living room (newest TV circa 2011), Fire Sticks on the TVs in the guest rooms, and I watch TV on my one of my computer monitors in my office (27"). All of this is wireless, no cabling to run. In the worst case you may need a wifi extender or convert to a mesh router. 

    Hope that helps some.

     

     

    We could have as few as 9 AAC teams playing but the conference will go on

    I'd assume USF would hold UT accountable for full pay out regardless. The only way we accept less money is if they agree to future 1 for 1 home games and call it even. Unless there is a stipulation in the contract, or the state of Texas massively interferes with functions of the game, a contract should be a contract. 

    I am not an expert but I believe most contracts of this sort have an "Act of God" clause that accounts for weather and other unseen events that would prevent the game from being played. It would depend entirely on how that is worded. 

    Jozwiak talks about life after football.

    Former TE Jeff Hawkins has a podcast called "Changing The Field: Life After the Game" in which he interviews former athletes and the transition from the athletics to the rest of their lives. This week he interviews Thor Jozwiak, now a teacher, assistant football coach, and head track & field coach at Clearwater High. Very entertaining. Thor is probably my favorite Bull of all. He still has the passion.

    Doesn’t look like they stayed for the basketball game.

    Which, if you think about it, is a tribute to what we/they think of CJS. That crowd would have come out without the basketball game as an enticement. 

    A 9 pm game on a Wednesday is really unreasonable for those of us that work or have 8 am classes. Mrs. S and I stayed until half time, but I have to be at work before 7 and need my beauty sleep.
