Broadly, this illustrates how power, money, and talent reinforce one another. A kid wouldn’t receive this level of support; tuition paid, widespread affection, or multimillion-dollar contracts at a young age if he weren’t exceptional at throwing a football. Today, in this warped culture, that skill generates enormous wealth and attracts massive attention and time from others. We need to rethink these priorities: the world is changing fast, and men have a responsibility to invest their time, energy, and focus in pursuits that truly matter. (I'm speaking to myself first and foremost).

Nobody’s calling for the perfect answer. Just do what is right

During the season, a weekly watchdog segment that tracks issues with selection committee/AP rankings. The focus should be on identifying where/when teams are clearly being ranked based on win/loss records with little to no regard for the significant strength of schedule disparities that exist in college. we (media, fans, AD’s, universities etc) all have a responsibility to be informed and persistently call it out. We can’t allow ourselves to internalize dumbed down selection committee talking points (ie “shoulda beat Florida”)

Not to toot my own horn, (pun intended) but what I said about coach miller, CDC and the trajectory of this program a month ago has been spot on. The guy knows how to win and being at a place like Texas in the NIL era can turn a good coach into a championship level coach.

CDC knows better than you or I and he hired him so that probably means he thinks Miller is capable. Projecting is part of what you need to do when evaluating potential of coaches or players. Miller has Multiple elite 8’s and sweet 16 appearances, he’s a seasoned coach in his prime coaching years who knows what works and what doesn’t work, that all comes with experience. Texas has the athletic infrastructure and resources to build a contender with him. Not saying it’s going to happen but the potential is there

the way this game was called by the refs made it hard to watch at times and Cadeau on Michigan is a dirty player that should’ve been fouled out. Nevertheless congrats to Michigan they were the best team all season. if a football school like Michigan can do this after only a couple years with a new coach, no reason Texas can’t compete for championships in the coming years and I think we have the coach and AD to do it

Michigan getting some help from the refs.

Hats off to Michigan and UConn, two exceptional teams. Started with 68, now down to the final 2 for all the marbles.

The UConn big has been unstoppable, be interesting to see if there shooters can take advantage of the defense focusing on him. Duke showing no signs of slowing down, can see why they were the number 1 overall seed the way they are playing offensively so far

Great slate of tournament games this weekend. All eyes are on college basketball in march and marquee games are being played on weekends and prime time. CFP needs to figure out how to replicate some of this, start by expanding to 16 or 24 teams and restructure the CFP to make December for college football like march is for basketball. No competing with nfl playoffs in December. There shouldn’t be a 2-3 week lull between end of regular season and playoffs. Have the national championship game on New Year’s Day a traditional day for college football. Heisman trophy after that. This schedule prevents the nonsense of having the portal open while teams are still competing in the playoffs

Yea no thanks. After what happened during the 2024 opening ceremony in Paris, I’m done with the Olympics.

Fair enough my friend but I’m not asking for advice. I’m free to say my peace here. It’s not my intention to get noticed by anyone and as long as people are being respectful, im not going to tell them how they should respond to the issues going on in the sport or tell them to keep their opinions to themselves. To each his own. Hook em

12 is not enough in a sport with such large disparities in schedule difficulty across teams and conferences. Selection committee is unable to adequately balance strength of schedule with win/loss record resulting in their rankings being based mostly on number of losses. This means a 10-2 Notre Dame, Texas tech or byu team with very easy schedules next year, will get in the playoffs over a hypothetical 9-3 Texas with a much more difficult schedule even though they’ll likely end up with more top tier wins than those teams but will be penalized for having 1 more loss. just look at the committees final rankings for 2025 which had Notre dame and byu ranked ahead of Texas despite Texas having more top 15 wins than those two teams combined and having played more top 15 teams during the season (5) than any team in the playoffs

I don’t know how much longer I’ll stay invested in college football with all the issues and lack of real leadership and accountability. I quit the NFL 5 years ago for other reasons and never looked back and can see myself doing the same with college if things don’t change. Ratings are at all time highs though, so people in charge don’t feel the pressure to make the hard decisions and are content kicking the can down the road. They are looking out for their own interests or whats best for their conference instead of what’s best for the sport. Why should I spend my limited time, focus and money on a sport that takes us for granted?

What a play by Mendoza, negating a slew of bizarre no calls by the refs on this drive and throughout the game
