The idea that you can objectively rank the quality of teams into a definitive top 25 list is the fatal conceit of college football and as long as it exists these arguments will continue. When it was a 2 team final people argued over who's ranked #2 vs #3. With the playoff we argue over whos #4 vs #5. With a 12 team super duper bracket we'll argue over who's #12 vs #13. The flaw in all of this is that teams fluctuate week to week wildly in quality of play. Alabama last week, top 4 team. Alabama the week they played auburn, not even in the top 25. Georgia absolutely dumpersting ole miss, best team in the country. Same Georgia barely pulls it out weeks later against GA tech. So I find all this talk about being able to definitively pick the best 4 teams to be quite silly. The only objective measure is your record, with strength of schedule and style points being used only in fringe cases or as a tie break. Honestly Georgia had a more dominant season than Alabama did up until the SEC championship. Now they're both one loss teams, with Alabama having a worse loss and worse season overall. But I don't see anyone advocating we throw out the bama Georgia game result in favor of a more wholistic view. So clearly the games do matter, just when it's convenient.

Never take a single day for granted. Losing someone unexpectedly is the worst thing a family could suffer from. Godspeed to the crew! We'll see each other again!

My time at DJ, the local Navy dudes ran a Ward Room, tent at 1st, then self funded/built a hard building. Open on Fri and Sat nights. Me and the guys would sip drinks, play corn hole, and bust chops. No drink limits, just a basic rule; behave. And most did behave, save for a P-3 dude that hit on some other unit's lady officer and got shown the door after a little physicality. P-3 unit was banned for a month. My boss asked if I went to the Ward Room. Yep, proudly. Got some work/networking done too. He mentioned something about drink limits and I mentioned the O-6 Scotch stash. We all behave and that's why it works. Our little gang had zero issues. Treat people like adults, they often behave like adults. Such a foreign idea to many higher ups.

Guarantee you CoCo’s was open

NIL, the Portal and the CFB have basically ruined the game.

Then why rank them higher than Georgia if it’s a simple as they aren’t evaluated to be that competitive. More specifically why do it 2 weeks after you already put them at one place in the list with said world changing quarterback? The default answer is a cop out of “the committee is an evolving evaluation based off ____.” Then it ignores its own precedents when inconvenient. And the default answer is “we aren’t wrong and weren’t wrong then, we’re just somehow more informed now.” FSU got hosed for one simple reason, the money/views provided by the SEC participation in the final 4.

One thing is for certain, Travis Jordan has to be the Heisman winner...He is obviously the best player in football because they dropped an undefeated power five conference champion because he was injured.

It should also be noted that the "committee" kept FSU in the top 4 even after the injury. They then won all their remaining games. Yet the "committee" comes out today and said that the injury to Travis was the deciding factor. The injury happened weeks ago and didn't impact the rankings until it looked like an SEC team was going to be left out. It's all a corrupt scam.

Prohibition doesn't work, and I'm sick of the knee jerk reaction to ban things for promises of safety. The same GO restricting booze sales to "keep Airmen safe" doesn't think twice about dropping a tasker at 1700 on Friday and sending those Airmen home to a furious wife after the kids are asleep. In my experience senior leadership should look in the mirror when trying to understand rising suicides in their force. Instead, they hit the easy button of restrictions & claim a halo for their duplicity.

Had to double check this wasn't Chang.🙂 Unnecessarily burdensome? No. Unnecessary useless bullshit? Yes. This was done at Hurbie, 2008ish?, to stop DUIs, lasted a short few months. How about this idea. Reverse the hours and stop selling during the day because it promotes day drinking. Same logic eh. Planning is cool but you do get a bit of the stink eye walking out of the express at 0630 with a 30 rack of natties on your way to crew brief. That being said I lived in Santa Rosa county for many years with alcohol sales restrictions. You learned to plan around those. Got to the Navarre Winn Dixie one night after a flight at 1155 got to the checkout at 1159, just made it. Not saying you agree with the restrictions

And after his inspection, the General went to his office, opened the cabinet, poured 3 fingers of something smooth, stared out the window and wondered, "what the fuck is this world coming to?" and took a swig.

Well, that ought to take of any morale that was left! If the public only knew how much Jack Daniels has helped forged their steely eyed killers...

Ya know at this point in my life, I think “what do their moms look like?”
