Lost but I expected and even picked that to happen

 

 

Though I thought it would be closer

Why are we bringing up Bama.  You haven't talked college football all season.  Why not mention just how great of a game it was?  You seem mighty happy Alabama is out.  If Georgia beats LSU the SEC gets two teams in the final 4.  I bet you will be rooting hard for LSU this week.

Bc it's one of the few games I've actually gotten to watch this year for college football

 

 

Honestly I could care less who wins out of UGA vs LSU but I'm sure LSU wins because the UGA I've seen this year didn't impress me in the slightest

Best team right now is OSU.  Not saying they win it all but they are playing the best right now.  Clemson and LSU have a good shot.

I personally feel it's down to Ohio State and Clemson

 

LSU defense not good enough to win a national title

About it would be a close game

I've seen in the past that when things get as hyped and heated UF tends to struggle 

 

I felt that FSU was in a place with nothing to lose so I felt it would be closer than anticipated

 

Felt same about Auburn and we see how that worked out yesterday

Auburn was ranked in top 25 and played at home and was a 3 point dog against a rival with a back up QB with very little experience.  FSU was 6-5 on the road and a 17 point dog.  Yeah those two were similar

Yeah but both FSU and auburn had nothing to lose

 

They weren't going to playoffs and have already clinched bowl games

 

A loss for either would have little to no effect on their bowl position is what I was saying

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
