    That's one heck of an ass kicking.

    This for sure.

    I do think when the Covid year thing passes it will easy up a bit. Rather than 5/6 years worth of kids in college, you'll have 4/5. As for the transferring, I wouldn't mind allowing kids a one time transfer without sitting out. But if you want to transfer a second time, you have to sit out a year. One exception would be if the head coach leaves, then if you want to leave you don't have to sit out a year.

    The Albany thing is pretty crazy. Prior to this year they were 2-3 all time in the playoffs. They made it in 1977 (in D III) and then in 2011 and 2019 in FCS. They've now won 11 games this year. They've only done that once ever and only won 10+ games twice in their history. Like our 2018 season seems like an anomaly but we at least had a DII history. Albany has no history and all of a sudden they're in the semis.

    Thanks for the info. If he became a Texas A&M fan, he could just keep the same team nickname. Would only have to worry about switching colors.

    And yeah, with how big of a fan he seemed to be, I would have thought he'd stick with following UCD, even from afar.

    This seems as good a place as any, but whatever happened to aggie6thman? He used to be as active as anyone. I'm hit or miss on how often I come to the site so I may have missed if he left for a particular reason.

    I think the selection was less "we need to keep Florida State out" and more "we need to get Bama in there". Because Texas has a solid resume and convincingly beat Bama in Tuscaloosa, they couldn't justify taking Bama over Texas. So Florida State was the convenient solution. I think if Georgia had beaten Alabama on Saturday, they would have taken the four undefeated teams and Texas gets left out.

    You're spot on with that. There's a very good argument that there should be no polls in football until 3-4 games have been played. Because where you start has a huge affect on how you're ranked as the season goes along. Happens at the FBS level too.
  • Hawkins Stepping Down per SacBee
    Generally speaking people are entertained by my sarcasm. Clearly you're doing it wrong.

    Note: that wasn't sarcasm. I really do think you're doing it wrong.
  • Hawkins Stepping Down per SacBee
    Usually sarcasm is funny. You typically aren't funny.
  • Hawkins Stepping Down per SacBee
    2019 the schedule killed us. Played an 8-5 Cal and No. 1 North Dakota St in the non conference. Also San Diego who made the playoffs. Then in conference we drew No. 3 Weber, No. 4 Sac, No. 5 Montana St and No. 6 Montana, plus North Dakota, who went 7-5 and made the playoffs. That team wasn't as good as 2018, but with an easier schedule, that team could have gone 7-5 or 8-4 and maybe made the playoffs.

    UNI got left out of the playoffs too.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    Left out again.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    Yeah, we’re probably out. NDSt in the Montana St pod. Unless they want to give us a potential rematch with Montana.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    Sac St in against North Dakota. Winner gets South Dakota.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    Missed the Idaho spot. No Sac yet either.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    I’m looking at that second round matchup with Idaho or Montana State since we didn’t play either one this year. I guess South Dakota also.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    They’re really dragging this thing out by showing highlights of games from yesterday.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    SDSt
    Montana
    South Dakota
    Idaho
    Albany
    Montana St
    Furman
    Villanova

    That’s the top 8. Weird not seeing NDSt in there.
  • 2023-24 FCS Playoffs
    If we get left out this year I’ll be annoyed but much less so than last year. At least there’s a logical case for Sac over us. Last year it was “uh, Idaho and Montana won an extra game (ignoring H2H and SOS) and Montana will bring in more money”.
  • 2023 WEEK 12: CAUSEWAY
    The only thing we have on Sac is H2H. They have better wins and better losses than we do. If Sac played out schedule there’s a decent chance they’re 8-2 besides the Causeway. At best we would likely have been 6-4 with their schedule before the Causeway and probably 5-5.
