Carl, what is your current level of care, which leaves room for you to still care less? When I have no interest in something, the Kardashians for instance, I could not care less. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my current level of care is miniscule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tradition! === and I’ve read they are having a hard time selling tickets to Monday’s Championship game. Maybe they need to re-think playing the game in freaking Santa Clara when 9 times out of 10 a team from the SEC is playing. Those in Cali could give a rats arse about any fed neck SEC schools. I believe the great pontificater himself Bill Walton, refers to the PAC 12 as The League of Champions. What a long strange trip he’s still on. Like many things NC2A, they are clueless and ineffectual - hmmm - sounds like our government— 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a plane ticket from SEC territory will cost you $1200 or more, plus at least $350 per night for a hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have skin in the game most don't care or at least care enough to pay to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of scholarships are limited so it does prevent another athlete (who may have fulfilled his four year agreement) from attending his University of choice.

The Patriots were 12 point favorites in that game. If that was college, the Giants wouldn't have even been in the playoffs. 🤣 cheatin pats always deserve to lose. gotta love those dolphins! Especially loved it the Sept after they beat us in the SB, 100+ degrees downtown. Peppers was still here think big Maake Kemoeatu was here. The third time brady went three and out right below us we intercepted it and ran it to midfield. Know it was sweat, cause the bleachers had emptied 70k to the mezzanine at halftime but looked like tears streaming down his face. got `em that day, got `em good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 @JL Sargent A month ago I had no doubt who would win this game. With Dexter Lawrence not playing, don't think our guys hunger for this game is reduced...just some talent. At least it's not like playing sc, don't expect any dirty plays tonight out of `Bama! We're ALL IN ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Could be interesting... Two teams going head-to-head with one of them being the first team ever to win 15 games. Neither of the QB's have faced the other defense so it could get interesting. I think that true freshman, Trevor Lawrence, might have a few problems reading tonite. That island boy will be calm cool and collected. Who knows??? Tons of interesting things going on in Cbus @ OSU today... Haskin's going to the NFL. GA QB transfer Justin Fields started classes and may just start next fall, which won't make Tate Martel happy. TTUN's Defensive Line Guru, Greg Mattison coming to OSU and possibly Al Washington. Can't believe they''re leaving before next year's Revenge Tour. Jeff Haley is also coming in from the 49's to coach the DB's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I hope they show the bands on ESPN2. Alabama has the best band in the country IMO. Their style is called a show band. It's like a 3-ring circus, something going on all the time on the field. Great horns, great drums, twirler teams, great show design. They cover the field, they have it all.

And I am not impressed with that dragon thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
