You're more than welcome to come on and show us the way
That's a great question. With where we have it setup right now, I don't actually know the RSS link. However, I have a couple hours tonight so I'm trying to get things setup on the new site.. I have the RSS feed there, but I need to update things with iTunes and everything else.
Nice
Lost control? Lol.
You can't control someone's actions. He's dealt with them and sounds like one of them is on their way out of the program.

College footballs St. Pete Bowl reportedly now the BAD BOY MOWERS GASPARILLA BOWL

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So CPJ said he's known for a while now what he's gonna do at QB to replace Thomas for GT. I suspect that means Matthew Jordan, but guess only coach knows. I doubt his mind changes before they start working on Tenn gameplan.
Can't stop, won't stop
GT RB Dedrick Mills dismissed. Probably not good?

Sounds like everything regarding the other suspensions will be wrapped by the Michigan game:

Shocked I tell ya.

What gets me is Marshall KNEW Mills was kind of an idiot.
I know he didn't want to split time with Mills, but if you looked at why not see if Mills could even keep their shit together?
Next man up and all that jazz, but I don't see how this isn't a huge blow. New starter are B Back and QB means it's gonna take a Hail Mary to beat Tennessee.
If GT was opening against Our Sisters of the Poor it wouldn't be so bad as you'd have time to figure some shit out. Instead it's gonna be a bunch of noobs thrown to the fire on the last big game in primetime against a power 5 SEC on Labor Day with all eyes on them.
Apparently top 3 rushers all gone. That's never good for a team that lives and dies by the rush.

Who's making the week 0 thread? Are we making a week 0 thread? Only a handful of games next weekend so we could just discuss them here next week.
Hawaii-UMass is the biggest game of the year

I will follow Chaos's lead
AAC
East: USF
West: Houston (Believe in Applewhite and Ed Oliver, plus they get Navy and Memphis at home so that will help)
Winner: USF
ACC
Atlantic: Florida State (If Clemson can somehow get a halfway decent QB to replace Deshaun, I'd pick them. But I'll go with the Noles
Coastal: Virginia Tech (I almost want to pick Miami considering they have enough talent to win it.. but something is stopping me from doing and I like Fuente and think he can make the O click even with all the turnover and going to Miami and Georgia Tech).
Winner: Noles
Big XII
Winner: Gondo State (even with all the questions defensively, they still get the Sooners at home for Bedlam and Bob's departure might be felt for a bit for Gondo State to seize the moment)
BIG
East: Ohio State (we get Penn State in Columbus and Michigan's lost so so much defensively. The Dline will carry the dbs through any and likely growing pains they'll have plus the addition of Wilson to the offensive staff will hopefully lead to JT going back to the QB we know he can be)
West: Wisconsin (team is solid all around even if they lost Cichy. Too many question marks with a lot of the other teams. They get northwestern at home and no Ohio State or Penn State on the docket for them).
Champ: Ohio State
PAC 12
North: Huskies (they'll hold off Wazzu and get back to the championship)
South USC (They may not have the easiest schedule, but I think Darnold and their defense can get them through it)
Winner Huskies
SEC
West Bama (LSU doesn't have a QB and I will not believe in Auburn until Stidham shows improvement)
East: Georgia (they have Chubb and Eason. Tennessee will implode and Florida has some questions at QB that gives me pause from picking them. But if one team can challenge Georgia, it's the Gatas).
Playoffs
1. Bama
2. Ohio State
3. Florida State
4. Washington
National Championship

Does anyone else stay up at night wondering why when Evilore tabs a new moderator, they slowly start to disappear from the community they were once active in? I think it has happened to this community in particular. Maybe I'm just imagining things again, so let me check some numbers from past off season threads to compare. I'll also use mre and andy as the "control" since they haven't been tabbed as mods....yet.
2012 offseason post counts (pre mod era, pre community forum era)
sto0ge: 36
cornballer: 22
confusingjazz: 1008 (not a typo)
cyan: 591
-------------------------------------------
mre: 607
andycaps: 557
Now lets look at the same posters counts in our first year in community which was 2013 ( but I think only sto0ge and cj were mods at this time.)
sto0ge: 5
cornballer: 25
confusingjazz: 150
cyan: 312
------------------------------------
mre: 725
andycaps: 808
Both of our commoners actually increased their post counts, but you can't ignore the severe drop off in post counts from our mods. Almost an 80% dip from cj and Sto0ge alike
Finally, since this thread is almost at its conclusion, lets tally up the 2017 offseason post counts
sto0ge: 0
cornballer: 0
confusingjazz: 1
cyan: 36
--------------------------------------
mre: 120
andycaps: 314
Although our numbers have steadily declined across the board over the years, it is very apparent that posting numbers among our mods have declined at an even greater rate than us commoners here. If another cfb gaffer gets modded, I'll run another analysis in a couple of years to see if the theory still holds true. #FreeOurMods #JoinTheConversation

Fuck the offseason. Thank God this is the last week because I'm currently in my "lets create random inane conspiracies" phase of boredom. I NEED FOOTBALL

I think one important thing that you didn't consider is that Cal and LSU got progressively worse over this time frame as well.

I'm partial to PS Vue. I used it all last season with no trouble.
Only reason I'm not using it this year is my apartment complex started offering a pretty decent cable/internet package recently.
I've had Vue from before last season and thought it was better than Sling. YouTube TV just expanded to here so I just got that and I'm going to stick with it. Little cheaper and the local channels are in a better spot, plus the interface is better.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Check YouTube, Sling, PS Vue, Direct TV Now, and Cable.
Vue dropped the lowest tier, and it's essentially $10 more a month than it used to be.
You can still probably cut the cord so to speak and get the games you want.
That being said pricing on internet TV service is creeping up.
Check to see what current deals you can get at your place. It might be cheaper it might not be cheaper or it might be like just a tiny bit cheaper so you might say I'll just stick with cable.
It's very YMMV at this juncture.

Alright look. Save the main session thread for the first big week of the year IMO.
Also post that shit in regular OT. We deserve our month at the very least. Plus maybe mods will let us stay longer.
Someone needs to call who's doing it too.
Need this shit straight before the week ends.

Bud Elliott has his updated look at blue chip ratings. Blue chips = 4 and 5 stars and he maintains that no team has won the championship with lower than 50% blue chips.
I wish there was a way to keep formatting intact. There's also a section showing biggest risers from 2014-2017 but I think the formatting would be unreadable here.

For all the talk that Ohio State and Florida State (and LSU) compare to Alabama talent-wise, Saban's roster is pretty significantly deeper than everyone else's. Geez.

Mike Leach has actually done a great job with Wazzu. He definitely got the last laugh when TTech wrongfully terminated him given the state of both programs.
I think our ranking is right.
