Young men in particular are facing a huge crisis, and it simply isn't being talked about enough. Struggles with relationships, educational opportunities, employment are all contributing to a very difficult environment for young men trying to grow up, and it can take a very real toll on their...

When you look at those two games, you think about the challenge of defending Boo Bouie and Shannon. In each game, the team put out an incredible defensive effort to not just contain those guys, but to totally eliminate them. I wonder if the level of energy required to play that defense didn't...

10 straight losses for them. Poplar was terrible this year, Matthew Cleveland was terrible, and they really looked like they quit.

Drake took it. Really fun to watch a game like this.

Anything can, but I doubt they will have another game with that sort of energy to feed off of. This was an everything game for them and their fans tonight.

Well, they went to an elite 8 and a final four in back to back seasons, so they must have been pretty good. Larranaga seems to be on a pattern there where he puts together a pretty good team, falls back for a couple of years, then has another pretty good team built up. Seems like he is on the...

At 24-10 I thought they should have kicked and just tried to hold serve. When they were down later, I didn't think they had a chance in the game unless they could grab the lead somehow. It felt like they might never get another chance unless they could turn the game somehow.

Looked almost like a goal line defense when the Creighton kid was trying to cross midcourt.

I don't know, kid for Creighton grabbed the defender by his shorts and pulled him down to the floor. Real sketchy move there.

Print media is pretty much finished and mainstream media is damn close. I like what technology has brought us in terms of access to instant information, but good lord do I miss the charm of reading SI or the Sporting News back in the old days. When you didn't have access to instant highlights...

Beware the Malachi crunch.

I think kids see a guaranteed paycheck, at least for one season. Would depend on your draft grade and what you think you may or not make I guess.

The idea seems to be that Saban put him in a couple of games at Alabama just to have him kneel on the ball. He sabotaged his redshirt year, so to speak. At least that is what I have read, and seems to be the basis for his waiver request. Who knows what will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if...

Exactly. This was mentioned repeatedly by the announcers, and they even interviewed Smart about it right before the game. Georgia clearly felt like they had a point to prove, they wanted to get their seniors to 50 wins, and their team was all in. You had a fully stocked, hungry team against a...

This is really men against boys. FSU was powered by portal guys, and a 6th year QB who had really put it together. Those guys are all out, and the rest of their roster just isn't anywhere near what Georgia has out there.

Finish for 13 right? That was their mantra until reality set in. I really hate to see games like the Orange Bowl, which used to be such a great event, just become an absolute nothing if it isn't a playoff game. I don't blame anyone for not playing. I also wouldn't blame anyone who didn't buy a...

I have found some of this guy's videos to be a nice trip down memory lane.

I think there was a game in the Civic Center, maybe 05? I seem to recall our guys blocking an absurd number of shots, but they still escaped with a win.

Ultimately we should just probably blame Auburn for running a two man rush and letting the Alabama QB have all day to throw that game winning TD pass a couple of weeks ago. Two times in recent years they have handed Alabama chances to win when they just shouldn't have. Auburn screwed themselves...

10 points, 10 points, and 6 points allowed, and lost all 3 games. I would not think that to be possible.

You have to convince enough of them to vote to break it up though, yes? So what can be the hook to get them to do so?

Those guys probably all have to declare for the draft.

And wouldn't be able to generate enough offense to win that game. Travis really made that offense dynamic. They still should have had the chance to prove it though.

I think he knows that FSU was a far better matchup for them. FSU can rush the passer and cover people, but you can move them off the ball. Michigan would be able to just grind them down, especially since the FSU offense is dead without Travis in there. Neither one of their backups can generate...

There may be more examples that I can't remember, but didn't Cincinnati get knocked off of the one seed line when Kenyon martin broke his leg? A long time ago, but the only one I can remember.

That is going to be every year for them if Norvell continues to try and use the portal as his main way of stocking a roster. That, and a 6th year QB got them to this season. It's a shame they didn't get a chance to play it all the way out.

Which version? They were changing the damn formula every year back then. They always should have made this playoff an 8 team affair. 5 P5 conference champions and 3 wild cards. It made too much sense, and just maybe would have slowed down all this realignment.

Only in Tallahassee. Maybe they can declare themselves champs like UCF did a few years back.

No one can deny that network television doesn't have anything to do with these things. But this is really a tough one. FSU won all their games and that should be enough, but everyone knows they aren't beating any good team with their backup quarterbacks. I don't think they are as good as any of...

They already want out of the ACC, several teams do. The problem isn't justifying it, or being angry if they are left out of the playoff, it's the GOR.

How about this gem from earlier in that game.

Horrific call, but that wasn't Alabama's backup QB, it was Millroe.

The guy should be fired. You stand 7 on the end line and rush 4, period. Never let a QB get comfortable and just set up to throw. Especially not in this era of football where guys make these damn passes pretty often.

When I was a kid, my mother, grandmother, and all their friends used to go often. My sister and I would get dragged along, and it was usually a day of us being spoiled so that we would not cause too much trouble. Hartford, Bridgeport, and then Dania down here in Florida. I miss it a lot. The...

Michigan State had a big one year turn around with a big portal class a few years ago, only to see the success crumble. Florida State has basically built their current year team by the portal, and along with a 6th year QB has had a big season. I will be curious to see what happens to them moving...
