Football fans???

I read an article yesterday where a priest from Pittsburgh went out to Acrisure stadium and blessed the goal posts where the Ravens kicker missed the FG.

My daughter shared that story with me.

Think on this for a minute. Steelers miss an extra point, wide right. Minutes later Ravens miss a field goal, wide right. Minutes later, 120 yards away, going the opposite direction on the field.
Should that wind not have pushed the Ravens attempt left going the other way?

Need a very strong constitution to be a place kicker—just ask Scott Norwood.

Man, doesn’t that bring up some not so good memories. I watched the NFC championship game in a little bar in Charleston, South Carolina that year, and watched the Giants beat the Niners with a walkoff field goal. The Giants went on to face the Bills in the Super Bowl and, needless to say, I was a huge Bill‘s fan in that game. When it came down to that final kick, I was thinking, here’s my redemption, and then Norwood misses wide right.

Heck of a game last night. Congrats to Miami and as someone with no skin in the game I can only hope that the next two games playoff are exciting as the last two have been.

I have been a lifelong UGA fan, and I always said I was a fan of my team, not a conference. What the rest of the SEC does largely doesn't matter to me other than how it affects future matchups between them and Georgia.

That said, a quick Google says that the SEC has won 16 national championships since 2000 so it is pretty clear why they have been talked about as the dominant conference. People can call it ESPN bias all they want but one conference has won 2/3rds of the national championships so far this century.

The tides seem to be turning, and I think everyone should be excited for that. After tonight it will be down to a championship matchup that I don't think anyone would have predicted before the season...that makes the entire season more fun to watch.
 
Just my 2 cents but college football (D1- FBS) is currently a cluster fark of epic proportions.
NIL, coaches leaving during playoffs, signing dates, player decommitments, etc. Not an Ole Miss fan but was pulling for them after that D bag Kiffin abandoned them.
Only good thing about NIL is that any school can stroke checks & rebuild a team in a single off season

There’s way more nuance than just, they won more championships.

With the way the rankings and schedules were done back then it set up the SEC for shots at championship games more than any other conference. The media pundits push the sec, they got better rankings….round and round it goes. In no way am I saying that the SEC didn’t have some great teams and great years though.

Now that money in college football is “above board” the sec is having a tougher time. The “football is a religion in the south” was more than just a saying.
 
Nuance for sure:
The current CFB bracket is a much tougher road to a Nat Championship than the early 2000's. Oregon and Miami would never have a shot at the championship if this were still the BCS era

No one disputes Nick Saban is the greatest college coach and he won 6 of those 16 for the SEC. Nick got out before the chaos started. It used to be coaching mattered first. Now it's recruiting and that includes re-recruiting your own players every year (Kirby Smart's words)
 
Not even a minor league, it is worse than the NFL. They have salary caps and collective bargaining. College has neither. Guys now staying at, not in, shcool because it pays better than the NFL. Leavett is likely going to get $7 million to stay at a school.

It was fun, The only positive I see with NIL and the transfer portal is that it is spreading the talent around, however that is done. My wife's family is all in on IU. Her dad went there and lots of family. Hope the game is good tonight and they get Oregon the 2nd time. I still hate Oregon for the screw job they gave us (OU) back in the day... I do like seeing some new faces in the mix, except Miami....lol.
