Thanks Team!

From Fargo, ND to University Park, Los Angeles === slightly different culture, ha ha

Albany @ South Dakota State
North Dakota State @ Montana

Tough calls all the way around...but it will be cold at both games that's for sure. I still like South Dakota State to take it all. Albany's been hot though.

ha ha, yes odd, I was kind of tongue in cheek on that one.

Not even from Montana?

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Officially at 420 - nice. Niece's birthday too...and a former German leader, but I like to focus on the niece part.

We definitely got a guy who wants to be here. That should be priority #1, enthusiasm for the position, then recruiting, then making sure nobody's flunking out, then x's and o's of course.

I couldn't imagine 6 years at the same place playing football and studying - no wonder a lot of these guys are graduating and trying something new for the final year.

Play 'em Week 1, nice!

The founding partners got 9 kids between us all stretched from Tennessee to Texas to California, I worry about none of them, ha ha, so the least I can do is keep the community connected.

"The team that won this conference has over 500 donors for football that give at least a thousand dollars. We have 75."

I guess Chris Carter died in a freak traffic accident.

Does anybody have any feelings for the FBS Playoff Selection Committee's teams?

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Alabama

Two key 'snubs':
1. Undefeated Florida State, who scraped together wins @ Florida and vs. a ranked Louisville team to finish their undefeated ACC Championship Season, despite the late loss of star QB Jordan Travis.
2. 1 loss Georgia, who lost the SEC Championship game but was ranked No. 1 all year, certainly haven't looked dominant all season, but a loss to a No. 7 team is all it took to knock Georgia out.

Clearly the committee had no interest putting FSU in given their current state on offense...as for Georgia, close wins vs. South Carolina, @ Auburn, @ Georgia Tech and then the close loss to Bama.

Big question for Plough is, how widespread will the tree shaking eliminations be at various Coaching positions. Obviously, he'll want to bring in his guys, and a lot of them may already be in Davis, but no doubt, some of them aren't.
