Chattanooga. Still get chills thinking about it.

Got married that May. We won in December, Texas (wife's alma mater) wins a few days later.

It was a good year.

A quick poll on staying with the job. I taught and coached at 2 schools in 40 years. Spent 24 yrs at one and 16 at the other. How about the rest of you? Started new jobs 6 times in 30 years. Only once did I leave somewhere voluntarily. The life of a government contractor, sometimes the contracts do...

I wonder how many times and how often these kids will change jobs when they get out and have to go to work? What company would want to hire and train an individual who has a reputation of jumping jobs every time a little more $ is on the table? In my world of IT, it is an expected thing and usually...

Seriously, this is ridiculous, named the starter for the bowl game and does this… I wouldn’t sign up to coach in this era the G6 level, just not worth it. It's only ridiculous in terms of the environment being what it is. For Kohl, and any other G5 player that had even a decent season, putting your...

Yeah. It's way past football and into matters of actual importance there. And Moore has been on suicide watch the past days.

They've already had Poggi as head coach for multiple weeks this season.

It's an awful situation that has gone from bad to ugly real fast, and well beyond anything football related in terms of importance.

Random Thoughts. If it is truly going to be an NCAA championship, then every conference needs representation. There are ten conferences in FBS, All ten conference champions should make the field. They could do 6 at large bids and that's it, 16 teams no byes. OR They could up the number of at large ...

I turned the game on in the final minute of the first half. Saw we were up 33-17 but they managed to score 17 points while going 1/11 from the field?? I never did get back around to the game for the second half but I'm glad we at least won. Personal basketball-related side note, my younger son is th...

The gulf between the haves and have nots grows daily in this sport. The stories to watch over the next 5 years or so are going to be there tales of how painfully obvious it will be that teams are have-nots but can't come to grips with reality. And eventually how they are forced to see the light one ...

IF JMU can survive the first 5 minutes and prevent a fast start by Oregon, they can make a game of it for about a half. They have the defense to do that at least. But the minute it gets to two scores down, the wheels will come off I think. Same for Tulane, I don't think they are any threat to win bu...

Iowa St Kansas St Baylor Notre Dame All have opted out of bowls. Bowl season might be toast. This has been the endgame ever since opt outs for players became a normalized thing. And I'm for it. Make the threshold 8 wins. Agreed. Have a 16 team playoff with 15-20 bowls at most. Make then actually me...

My main priority in the Oregon/JMU game is that our check from the sun belt for this game cashes.

Here's the change coming.

Texas Tech, you and your oil money are welcome to join the SEC.

Miami, you are your cocaine money can join too.

The rest of y'all? Piss off. New tournament. 16 teams. 8 from the SEC and 8 from the Big Ten. ESPN and Fox are funding it, sponsored by DraftKings.

Consider me surprised that Dozier and Barnes weren't the first two out the door and haven't declared already.

I'm sure there's someone in the area who will be happy to get a payday to go to Columbia on short notice.

Completely disagree. It's 2025, and football is a television sport primarily. And Appalachian has grown to where it's not just a little regional school anymore. There are alumni all over. Many of us in places where deciding to go to a game in Boone isn't an option.
