This probably isn't backed up by data but just anecdotally it feels like college officials swallow the whistle too often whereas NFL officials try to inject themselves into the game.

Look, refs in college have had a bad couple weeks, but they'd never call some of these roughing calls that are called in the NFL.

I've talked about how New Orleans is uniquely vulnerable to these fan takeovers because of the Party And Get Drunk On Bourbon Street factor. But this is happening everywhere outside of Rust Belt markets where no one wants to visit and there's few transplants.

Something that bothers me about techno-optimists is they type everything in lower case.

That's what you get for playing for a 40+ yard kick with a kicker that can't make it from 21.

Is there a reason they block off the entrance to campus on 49? I'm assuming this is another of Rusty Keyes' #SAFETY initiatives (that actually accomplish nothing) but I'm genuinely curious why they do this.

I'm glad the 24-team playoff has gotten pushback from even mainstream pundits but also I get the sense that the mood is this is something that's completely out of the norm for the sport and not just a logical continuation of everything we've seen in the last 15 years.

Well, things get interesting if Hearts somehow got 3 tomorrow at Parkhead. Not getting my hopes up though.
