Running off-season CFB thread

After years of taking a beating for failing to be transparent in its handling of the academic scandal, UNC did an about face a couple of years ago and begin extensively publishing records - including all the NOAs and responses on this website:

There are enough documents there to keep N.C. State fans from ever needing Viagra.

 

Upon careful review, I believe this post belongs in this thread. Just got back from two days at Saratoga. Let the record show that in the fourth race on Friday, two of the entrants were Roll Tide Roll and War Eagle's Return. I felt I had to bet them for the SECers on the board. Not wanting to play favorites, I had each way exactas on them. They may have finished by nightfall, but by then I was at dinner. If this is an omen, there's hope for LSU this fall!

 

You should have known better. Each trainer (or owner) probably sabotaged the other horse.

 

Georgia State isn't so much transforming Turner Field as wedging in a gridiron

Transforming a baseball stadium into a football one: Turner Field becomes Georgia State's home

 

The second Braves field to be converted to a college football stadium.

 

What was the first? I know they played some football at the old Atlanta Fulton County, but I don't think it was ever converted for college football.

Ah, interesting. My caveman brain often forgets that the Braves actually existed before 1966.

 

At first look, I was like, WTF, why is the scoreboard set back from the corner of the end zone? It looks like they did as well as they could given the financial limitations.

 

Not shocking. Feinbaum is an SEC superfan. Freeze had a successful run. If they somehow overcame sanctions and got to reset, that's better for the SECessionist Conference.

 

Someone beating Saban consistently was great for Finebaum. It meant a lot of calls that generated even more calls.
