Don’t get me wrong, I definitely prefer more traditional collegiate game sounds rather than blaring Jumbotron noise. But I’m just an old fart and probably in the minority.

I'm an "old fart", but have always said, "everyone is entitled to MY opinion, but they are also entitled to be wrong"

Chris has told me that the response to his "work" is very positive. My response was the people in McLennan County hate him.

He would not have been a starter at Duke next year. If you read the Duke message boards, he was basically told to hit the road because they were bringing in Mensah from Tulane who has 2 more years of eligibility and is thought to fit OC Joe Craddock system better that Murphy.

I read that Murphy was told he could stay but he was being “recruited over” for another starter and he would not have NIL money for next year.

Duke fans are very gracious and sympathetic to Murphy in his departing.

I think I ******* hate this ****** nil system. I put far more value into society during a stressful 38 year career and I'll never sniff as much money as these 90 IQ spoiled ******* brats.

I cannot believe Duke of all schools will pay $8 to a kid that likely won't be drafted, and it's doubtful he will make that much in his entire NFL career. I'm calling ******** on that, or there would be a mass exodus of current players in Durham.

I do agree with KIrk on this point and I think the first round results show that. Just because a team won 11 games does not mean they were belong in top 12 teams in country. Not sure how you keep them out if they win their conference.

Herbie is full of crap.
Jere;s an idea.
WIN YOUR FREAKING GAMES!

Maybe we can set up a wild card for the 9-3 teams.

Do you think those were the 12 best teams ?

The explanation is the bracket that has tOSU playing Oregon. They both start with 50% of their chances gone (odds wise) and then each go down from there to account for other games. We have like an 80% chance to beat ASU, and then go down from there.

Ie, if you could take pairs of teams, the OSU/tOSU quarter of the bracket would be the favorite.

Yep. The real numbers will be apparent once the semis are set.

In game/in stadium music/entertainment/sideline schtick...

1) I'm in complete agreement with sabre on this...more LHB, less tricked up stuff.

2) i'm completely on board with mariachi band in a Texas stadium. Mexican culture is a part of our Texas cultural heritage. So latino vs asian is irrelevant for me. Fun mexican stuff is part of "us" (blonde, blue, white guy here)

3) i really dislike sideline games schtick. however i like when they bring Texas Exes on screen for quick sideline interview or acknowledgement of their achievements though.

AFLAC?

Eet mor chikin.

Seriously, Texas should play that up with Bevo and a sign hanging around his neck and post it on social media. I bet Chick fil A would eat that up and fly all over social media in a very positive way for Texas.
