I would imagine even a single loss (or win) would most likely have a meaningful impact on seeding regardless of your starting point.

I think the chicken (better results) and egg (more donor funding) is the classic conundrum. As you point out, the chicken has been there for several years up until this season. Has that resulted in demonstrably more eggs and the eggs were just put in the wrong basket? I dont know the answer...

poor spelling aside, that's obviously a consideration. My only point was it's highly unlikely that it was unilateral "here's $70M - this is what you're gonna do with it, Josh."

I don’t have anywhere close to gies kind of money so I have no idea how these conversations go, but I would guess there’s no standard approach. Gies and Whitman probably speak regularly. Whitman keeps the family updated on where the program is, where it’s headed, and what support it needs to...

All that may be true, but at the same time, it's also likely true that waiting until February to make the move significantly limited Bielema's options should his Plan A have failed like it did. While Bielema probably wasn't caught off-guard, his seeming loyalty to A-Hen likely ended up being...

Pretty sure Locks would take OFFENSE to that statement (see what I did there? harde har har).

Looking at it more closely, looks like they got it off in time…but holy moly is it close lol

Did bears eagles just have their wmu/Michigan moment? Sure looked like zeros on the clock before they snapped the ball. Conspiracy!

He’s sucking you in too friend. I’m telling ya, you won’t get a straight answer! 😜 When I straight asked if he thought the correct call was made but for the wrong reasons, I was told that he wouldn’t be drawn into such a ridiculous question 🤷

for some reason pic isn't loading for me, so can't enjoy it. But what I will say, regardless of what the pic is, i'm not going to take it personally (outside of obvious extreme examples lol). I can handle it! Plus I know i'm taking an unpopular position here, so just comes with the territory and...

You can go back to my posts - that was my only question. Because all I cared about was whether the right call was made or not. You’ve had broader perspectives on the theoretical rules and the spirit of football etc etc. that’s all well and good and worth discussion at some level. But I only...

I honestly am confused what you’re referring to. They didn’t add back time because of the sync issue. They added time back because the player touched the ball before the scoreboard clock was at 0. But the broadcast clock was slightly off from the scoreboard clock causing confusion. Why would...

so is the argument now that the right call was made, but for the wrong reasons? am i following this evolution of this debate correctly?

which NCAA rule did the booth not follow?

looks like "program feed"<>"broadcast clock". Regardless, despite the nuances of what feed's technically called what. When you look at the broadcast itself, it seemed pretty obvious to a lot of people (and me) that the clock was 0 before the WMU player touched the ball. Maybe it was too close...
