I don't mean it was printed with * or % or #. It was printed in full. It was in an AP article on the UGA/LSU game. There were two normal paragraphs, then there in a paragraph all by itself was the word. Not capitalized. I can honestly say that I've never seen that happen before.

To be honest, I don't think I want a CFB playoff.. For the sake of meaningful regular season games.
I don't know why regular season games would become less meaningful if there was playoff. UT/Bama would still mean a lot. USC/tiglets, UF/FSU, Bama/Auburn, OSU/Michigan would always be important. Conference games would be inportant. The other non-rival/non-conference games would mean a lot because you would need to win in order to make the playoff (probably 8 teams). It's not the same as in college BB. There are numerous games that don't mean much, unless you lose too many of them. But I can't see regular season FB games becoming less meaningful.

Hunter
You are correct. Sad, isn't it? He only played two full games. I'm not one to believe that one guy can change a poor season like we had, but if he had played, we definitely would have beaten Kentucky.

So is red wine served with all meats and white wine served with fish?
Usually red wines with red meat, white with white. But a good Pinot Noir can go with turkey. Although I don't always follow the rules. When we go out I don't want to take both red and white so we drink red even if we're having chicken or fish.

Seriously??? You are going to make me ask?
I haven't decided yet. I'll make the picks tonight subject to a change tomorrow morning. This is complicated. I have to look through the vault book to see what I have and what's ready, and then there are more bottles in racks in my kitchen. It's a lot of responsibility being the "wine guy".

Sports / VTTW Message Board / So this is the last Big 12 Texas vs. Texas A&M game...

....and A&M is an 8 point favorite at home. I hope they beat Texas. It would be a fitting way to go.
I assume that they will continue to play but to win the last Big 12 matchup would be nice. Of course, it would be just as nice to win when it becomes SEC vs. Big 12 (or whatever it becomes).

It was only a win over Vandy but seeing all of the people checking in reminds me of old times. Good old times.
Beat Kentucky, be invited to a bowl, get the extra practice, maybe win a bowl game, recruit like hell and get ready for next year.

Pretty sure the official replay that the officials use has no sound. I think I've heard that before. Regardless, there clearly was a whistle. I heard it live, even before they showed the replay. Some official incorrectly blew it dead and then wouldn't own up to it when he saw the replay. At least they got it right in the end...somehow. Yep, either an official realised that he had incorrectly blown the whistle at the moment he blew it or he looked at the Jumbotron and realised it and wouldn't say he had whistled it. I don't know about the replay. I think I've seen replays concerning the whistle but maybe that was the pros. Still, it was the right result even if the play call was blown by the official.
