A thought that's just occurred to me
There's been a ton of push-back on the new 24-team FBS playoffs
Who's not complaining? @NDSUfootball
Incredible to think the Bison will now actually have a more than legitimate chance to be an annual playoff contender
What timing.
CFB Kings@CFBKings
A 24-team College Football Playoff format would be disastrous for College Football. In 2018, if a 24-team CFP format existed, it would have included SIX 4-loss teams and even 5-LOSS Northwestern as an at-large bid… That Northwestern team lost to 4-8 Akron at home, lost to Duke by 14, and lost to all three of the Top 15 teams they faced. That is who people are currently arguing should make the Playoff. The regular season would be annihilated, bowl season would be finished, losing wouldn’t matter, making the CFP wouldn’t even be an accomplishment, and all for what? To watch these teams get smoked by the real contenders? College Football is not College Basketball. College Football is not the NFL. College Football is not the NBA/NHL/MLB. The enormous implications of each Saturday during the REGULAR SEASON is part of what makes our sport so great. The coaches on the AFCA Board who voted to support expanding the playoff to 24 basically just gave the middle finger to each fan, because they’re literally rooting for CFB to become a watered-down, corporatized NFL Jr. and a shell of its former self.

@joncgore @AndrewKSheaff If you can get u/w video from side go dark trunks and cap. At front extension look for cap to suit alignment. Try varying head position. Try to swim “downhill.”

@AndrewKSheaff What are the cues for good body position? I really can't tell, but I suspect my hips are dragging.
English
If swimmers can swim level on the surface of the water, their freestyle speed and endurance will instantly improve.
When it comes to quick improvements, body position is almost always going to have a bigger impact than propulsion.

@MattJZimmer Your dad must have been a very forward thinking guy to have been an electric mower adopter.

You guys, I bought an electric lawnmower and it is my new favorite toy. Also I am now my dad.

@FCSNationRadio1 @jerjorgenson I feel like this whole mess may have been mentioned over breakfast a few years ago.
English
@jerjorgenson The G6 teams are either FBS teams or they are not. If they are then they deserve access to the postseason. If they are not then a whole bunch of Athletic Directors and Presidents should be run of of town on rails for spending millions to pretend to be.
English
The replies are SOMETHING. I'm pretty sure that many P4 fans really don't like football. I'm convinced they are the most pretentious and arrogant people alive. If they didn't want the G6 involved in postseason they should never have allowed the NCAA to let them be FBS.

The coaches have spoken: In a vote last week, the AFCA Board swung its support behind (1) a playoff with the max participants (likely 24); (2) discontinuing conference championships; and (3) ending CFP by second week of January, they tell @YahooSports. bit.ly/4talivj

@ItsThumper76 Men shouldn’t let men play football without a belt.

@SloSHO Somehow we’ve taken the best helmet logo (big jack head) and forked around until no logos are stadium view ready. The blue micro jackrabbit too looks like JV practice gear.

@deviousduck_ Bad template from UA and even worse execution

been talking about uniforms a lot lately What’s the worst uniform your favorite program has worn?

My great friend and neighbor has done a lot for me lately so I took him a gift. He wasn’t home so I left it in his garage. I take a bit of pride in his text upon discovery…he didn’t ask if it was me. He already knew.

@KurtLickiss @ItsThumper76 I’d rather play for an FCS than the Idaho Potato bowl

On a flight with time to kill. Let’s talk some Jackrabbits. What questions ya got?
English
@goodguyaugust @Tanner_Castora Actually, and I’m a huge fan of Mark, it was occasionally, and that was problematic. He’s a very good QB. I think the issue is that he’s a very good college QB, as you point out Cole is very athletic. Neither are likely immediate impact guys. Backups are about fit.
English
@Tanner_Castora Gronowski missed wide open throws consistently. I get that he went to the school you glaze but he’s not a good QB.
English
I'd like to see Cole Payton succeed - FCS guy who waited his turn.
But the fact that he may be drafted several rounds ahead of Mark Gronowski I don't quite get
The guy lost in the 2nd round in his only season (13 career starts)
While Gronowski has 2 rings (68 career starts)
SleeperCFB@SleeperCFB
"Give me Cole Payton over Drew Allar every single day", per @McShay13 on @PardonMyTake Should Payton be the third QB taken off the board after Mendoza and Ty Simpson?

@JackrabbitFans @PEoperator +1. Name one “free” thing managed by government. Whatever wrong answer you came up with now tell me about how awesome it is. Nominal park fees put “skin in the game” for visitors. I’m sure it’s imperfect too, but support what is good and beautiful and right.
English
@PEoperator Omg better give that some thought. The parks should never be free. No one would value them if so.
English
Last week I visited four national parks and several national forests.
I left with three major conclusions:
1) Our National Park Rangers are Chick-fil-a level quality. I never met one who was anything but go-out-of-their-way helpful even on the most mundane topic.
2) Our National Parks are an absolute treasure. You don't need to go out of the country, America contains a million different worthwhile sights to see.
3) National Parks should be free for US Citizens. The "America the Beautiful" pass is $80 for a year of entry into any National Park. Easy decision, but I would take it a step further.
National Parks should be free for US Citizens and $1,000 for a one week pass otherwise. Build American pride and generate revenue.
National Parks feel like the one thing the government has consistently gotten right.

@natesportsguy Top 10 FBS teams now have 40M payrolls. So 5 seems kinda moot.
English
Can NDSU and eventually SDSU cover this number per year for Football NIL? Wyoming projects they need $5 Million per year to be in the mix. 😳
Alex Taylor@alex_m_taylor22
What will it cost the University of Wyoming to compete for championships? According to the school's athletic department, it's roughly: -$5M in football -$2M in men's basketball -$1M combined for the rest -$8M total, which is a number that's likely only going up "People want a product, and this is the cost for the product, plain and simple." wyomingnews.com/wyosports/univ…
