I'm shocked more people aren't up in arms over Mike Tranghese being on the panel, when in reality all he knows is basketball and was completely clueless as to how to run a conference from a football perspective.

Why is Rice on the Playoff Selection Committee?

I imagine her, the General, and the reporter, are there to make sure "Good Ole Boys" won't have complete say. Also, to enforce "Procedural guidelines" to how teams are chosen, in case slight bias appears.

Fire flood? Any rumors that this is cover for something else(personal and not baseball)? His offer list was impressive.

If I had to guess....

He originally came to play WR, there is a huge logjam of talent at WR so they moved him to CB.

It could be him wanting to go elsewhere to play WR, much like Miles Shuler.

I think it's a dick move though to do this in the middle of the season, especially when you're starting.

Stick out the year and think things through at the end of the year and decide what you want to do with your future.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm hoping he brings that can't-do attitude to the administration of the playoff too.

Watched with the sound off. Does she have a smoker's hoarse voice? She looks like she'd be a smoker when she drinks.

Cute though, despite that.

sound off isn't just half the experience. It's 95% of the experience. Funny Drunk, with such lines as:

My favorite thing about Ole Miss is the education I'm receiving....

Sike. It's the atmosphere

When you go to a college, you'll make the grades. Blah Blah Blah...

I like school spirit....but lets not get me wrong. I wouldn't have school spirit without at least...a couple Vodka Waters

She's not quite "Emma Stone" voice, but she's on here way there.

oh, and when asked what's the meaning of Hoddy Totty (which there isn't a meaning), she implies it's based on a drink, that you drink when your sick.

Oh, and my condolences Wino... you jinxed your team :(

It doesn't matter. Until we get a PAC12 level QB we are fucked. We have a true freshman, Tyler Bruggman, who I believe is that guy. Until he starts, I don't know that we'll do much. Connor Halliday hasn't proven shit. I'm drunk and angry right now. Not excited to go to Autzen.. Thankfully, I have a bunch of really good friends that are Ducks and are going to that game that I'lll have a good time. Fuck, I'm so hammered right now. These buttfucks took down all my Cougar gear and decorated my cubicle in Duck gear while I was away!

her rasp voice is very typical of some sorority girls from my experience. I didn't see too many soro sisters smoking ciggs in the daytime, but at nighttime frat parties who knows....I was never there, but i doubt smoking is whats causing their voices to go hoarse. Sorority girls are notorious for being loud and obnoxious, so maybe the loudest of the sorority girls end up losing their voice. I can definitely see that Ole Miss girl screaming at parties causing her voice to go hoarse for a week, then the following week start the process all over again.

Soooooo we replace one shitty system with another?

I vote for the BCS computers to pick the Top 4 or however many teams, and let them duke it out. The computers have done a better job of ranking teams than humans, and will damn sure do a better job than current sitting school officials and Condi Rice. I mean seriously. It should be a list of former coaches and players making this decision, spread evenly across all conferences and regions. I fail to see what the superintendent of Air Force has that makes him a good judge of program strength.

At least with the current polling system, you have a large enough of dolts voting that the selections are somewhat believable. Now we've limited the number so that a few morons can really fuck everything up. It should be mandated that these people involved watch football all day every Saturday, as well as all the mid-week games, in order to ensure they know wtf they're voting on.

Whoever thought this up is an asshat. A bigger asshat than the shmuck behind the BCS. PEACE.

Great voice but that's not a Mississippi native accent is it?

I like the southern accents more than the raspy voice.

I'm in Columbus for the first time in fifteen years, and going to the game this weekend. Anything I should definitely go and check out while I'm here? I'm staying downtown near the Arena District.
