Good post.

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!

In the end, the BIG did a poor job of sizing Warren up for the job. Doesn't say much for those making the hiring decision. On the other hand, this was a celebration of the Dawgs and their great accomplishment. Weird time for the commish to be going after Warren.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade but a Statue? Okay then, how about a statuette next to it of Noah Ruggles? Party on!

Talk about perversion. How does this post remain on this site? ^^^

Herbie makes his point by doing the same thing the kid did. He can say it, Saturday Down South can print what Herbie said, but I can only reference it. Got to love the hypocrisy on every level.

I think LSU would have won no matter what, but missing 4 starters, including your starting QB who threw for 3,500 yards, and your Head coach, takes the shine off this game.

Hey Matt why didn't they have Georgia play Alabama in the first round last year after they were blown out? The Dawgs already get to play, for all intents and purposes at home, and that still isn't enough for you. The Dawgs will handle Ohio and stop your incessant moaning.

They reward Ohio State, Alabama, Tennessee, and in effect, USC. Penn State, not so much. Got to love it.

Nailed it.

Rushing the field for a victory over LSU, pretty much shows you how your program is perceived by your own university.

This information and 6 bucks will get you 2 Whoppers at Burger King.

Well, Math is hard. Especially when dealing with larger numbers. I had it in my head that the score was 33-18, but still, that doesn't make me any less wronger.

I guess the playoff committee must have looked the other way last year when the Tide blew out Georgia by 17 just a few weeks before they made their selections. As it turns out, a larger margin of defeat than the Michigan "blowout" loss.

Clemson isn't a top 15 team, let alone the 4th best team.

This is what this was all about anyway. The BIG 10 thought that Disney/ESPN/SEC network/league did not have their best interest at heart. It will be interesting to see how much more Disney/ESPN will now be forced to pay in broadcast right fees, to the Pac 12 and the Big 12.

Actually, Disney/ESPN won't. My previous comment is lost somewhere in the outer rim of moderation, so forgive me for the doubleton. A mixture of FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, and Amazon will decide what happens. Money Talks.

Making political statements on a sports website is beyond stoopid. Sankey has also floated a 16-team playoff, along with several others. The sixteen-team format has been around for quite some time.

Notre Dame is contracted to play 5 ACC teams in football, through 2036. You are right, they are not a member of ACC in football. Still, I think if they could maintain this relationship with a successful ACC, they will. It's all about the jack and their semi-independence.

if Notre Dame can shake enough cash out of NBC, or Amazon, or anybody else for that matter, they won't join the Big 10 or the SEC. They want to be the Big Dog and they can be that in the ACC. With several up-and-coming teams, there is no reason the ACC can't compete with other leagues for the big prize. Hope they can stick it out.

Indy Star "BLOOMINGTON – The Big Ten wasn’t actively seeking expansion this summer, but when USC and UCLA approached the conference about coming on board, they were impossible to turn down." From SI "For the Big Ten, it was an easy decision. Much like Texas and Oklahoma, USC and UCLA approached the Big Ten with a message: They were planning to leave the Pac-12 and wanted to know whether the league was interested in accepting them." KU sports Nearly a year after Texas and Oklahoma shook up the college sports landscape by deciding to leave the Big 12 for the SEC, UCLA and USC have done so again. The two tradition-rich Los Angeles universities are leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten beginning in 2024. "Big Ten presidents and athletic directors met Wednesday to discuss the matter, according to multiple reports, after the schools approached the conference about applying for membership." CBS Sports "Big Ten university presidents voted Thursday night to accept the applications of USC and UCLA to join the conference, marking a seismic shift on the collegiate athletics landscape." Want to talk about scum? Go look in the mirror. Your timeline is a total lie. The Big Ten has approached Notre Dame numerous times over the years. There is no shame in that. The SEC on the other hand, recently got involved in chasing the Irish. You just keep The SEC/Skankey, and set this all in motion.

Read what people who worked for him and with him, have to say about him. The scum thing is juvenile at best. The Pac 12 stabbed itself as did the ACC It's known that UCLA and USC approached the BIG 10. Warren did not make the decision to let this happen, that was done by the executive board. Got to go, it's beer time.

Continually calling Warren scum says more about you than him. Those that believe this nonsense might want to read Warren's bio. As is typical, the loud mouth comes off as a fool. Time to grow up.

There was nothing signed between the Alliance Agreement teams. College football is fluid because it must be. Sankey most recently made that painfully obvious for the majority of D-1 football. Unfortunately, the ACC didn't get the memo and ended up getting swindled by the grifting nework, ESPN. Blaming Warren is nothing more than intentional ignorance.

I love the anonymous quote glorifying Sankey. My goodness, what a load. Sankey and the SEC created this mess when they poached OU and Texas. The Big 10 reacted to that move and poached the two PAC 12 teams. That doesn't mean the Big 10 doesn't shoulder any of the blame, but trying to paint this in another light is from the Alternative Facts movement. No way the world's greatest conference commissioner can clean this up. Those horses are out of the barn and they aren't about to come back. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sankey overplayed his hand and his greedy power move(s) have forever changed college football. Praising him, won't change any of that. Que the midget Darth.

Notre Dame does not want to join the Big 10, but it would have more of a say-so in that league than the SEC. I think if they tried any of that in the SEC they would grow tired of being told to shut up and sit down. Fact s are, that worm has turned and neither league needs them. Regardless of what happens, ND's inflated ego is going to take a hit.

The SEC backed itself into this corner. This talk of an SEC playoff is because they totally over-bid & misplayed their hand. If you think an SEC-only playoff is some sort of a victory for the SEC, well then, good freaking luck.

You're still lying about what I said. You appear to be good at that. I never said any such thing. I said it was reported that it could be and the BIG decided to go about it, the way they chose to go about it. I didn't find fault with the SEC. The truth thing is always hard for weasels.

The SEC's vision of their self import is wildly out of wack with reality. Talk of them choosing to take their ball and go home is nothing more than hollow, petty bluster.
