For the record I was joking about Bussi, unfortunate goals at the end. For fun I was in Canes Huddle Freddie complaints emulation mode. *wink*

Not talking about pressers. Guys like Dan Graziano, Joe Person and others talk to people behind the scenes. Team officials don't automatically think the way we do. They make decisions we disagree with. Sometimes they're right. Sometimes they're wrong. Either way, you can't ever assume that their evaluations and conclusions are gonna be the same as ours.

Win all of what

BeLaKay earned that 1st star!

Not sure of origin….but hey ….cant go down a level on bye

Love to see 6 goals scored and a home win

well Canes goal scoring won this game. Nice to see it. Good win!

If the CFP dorks has balls they'd put Vandy in over Bama. Hell I'd rather see Vanderbilt than Duke, Virginia, JMU, Bama, ND, or Miami.

And if Matthew Stafford has a historically awful day, Tet McMillan didn't drop a pass, Rico Dowdle was fully healthy and Xavier Legette was contributing, we might have won by even more. You can use those sorts of "what if" scenarios to support any kind of point you want. I prefer not to even bother with them.

Yeah...no. See above.

Ryan Grigson was a lousy GM. That said, he had training, experience, access to information that none of us do, and the responsibility to craft a full roster, not just sit back and snipe about individual decisions. He was better equipped than even the smartest people on this or any other internet forum to run an NFL team... ...but he failed. Why? Because he wasn't competing against us. He was competing against Brett Veach, Brad Holmes, Les Snead and 28 other professional talent evaluators and roster builders. Being better than us is relatively easy given the advantages he has, but that's not his job. His job is to be better than those other guys, and he wasn't. On a personal level, I could frame that as Marty Hurney was better equipped than me. He made mistakes I might not have made, but in the real world I probably couldn't have done his job. I always try to keep that in perspective. They're human, they're gonna fail, but it doesn't necessarily make me superior to them.

That's gold, Jerry, Gold.

Ok let’s see another Canes goal to offset this crap

OK, wtfmate?!?

Uhhh timeout guys

Ahhhhhh, I needed that context. That makes more sense. Unfortunately, I think Bama will get penalized for it, only because they got blown out and the CFP committee desperately needs a way to avoid putting Notre Dame in and not Miami (who beat Notre Dame). Either way, one of those three teams (Bama, ND, Miami) will be wrongfully left out for Tulane and Virginia/James Madison. Either way, someone(s) are going to be loud and hateful Sunday at 12:15pm. Including Texas, who will finish 12th, has no shot to get in, but will argue they beat Texas A&M and Oklahoma who are both in. Sunday, bloody Sunday is coming, and once again it involves the Irish.

2 goals in 18 shots, Bussi is a leaking seive!

Jarvis scores on Bussi... fml

Aho! Man it’s feast or famine with the Canes.

Yes I'm aware that Bama has lost three games this year, but you're missing my point ... ND and Miami didn't play this week. That's why I said Alabama is a two loss team. And I don't like Alabama. I don't want them in. I'm just saying that you can't penalize them for losing a game that ND and Miami never had to play.

They are not going to poo on him in pressers during the season, but they are not stupid and they see just how much he is holding this team back.

I've read a lot of BTS stuff from NFL front offices, and what I've seen doesn't reflect this kind of thinking. The reason they picked up Darnold's fifth was the same reason they traded for him, because they believed he could be the guy. When they pick up Young's option it'll be for the same reason. Fans rationalize stuff like this because they can't imagine team decision makers not seeing players differently than how they see them. But they do. Hell, we spend entire offseasons complaining because teams being back guys like Ian Thomas.

IIRC the championship games came about when conferences started expanding, and divisions within the conference were created. I think in fact a conference had to have 12 teams in order to hold a championship game. Like most things in college football, it was a revenue-producer, because the conference could sell a championship game now as part of their tv package. The games are a bit unnecessary in this age of a playoff. They are not going to do away with it though as they still are revenue-producers.
