Talk About Tennis 2.0

National Championship gets decided tonight. Starts in 1 hour.

What are the odds for OS? 20% chance? It's always 'Bama...

They've got a shot, much higher than 20%, maybe 40%. The spread is just over a touchdown I think. They have the guy who is considered the better, more dynamic QB. But more of a shot if Jaylen Waddle doesn't play. He wasn't supposed to be healed until Spring and word came about a week ago that he might be able to go for the game, and he's out there warming up. Everyone is under the belief he's the most talented wide receiver for Alabama. And the other guy just won the Heisman. So OSU has quite the uphill battle tonight, but they've got a shot.

This is not looking good.
D. Smith seems to be a rocket. But I wonder if he can make it in the NFL. The guy is only 15 lbs heavier than I am. One smack from Richard Sherman and he is toast.

I suppose that 52 -24 is good enough to go to sleep.
It is a circle. Bama is the best team, so all the kids want to play there, so they remain the best team, so all the kids want to play there...
Since there is no draft positioning, very little to do.

Desean Jackson had a great career, so small isn't a dealbreaker when you're fast.

In terms of the game. It was a really good, competitive first half for the most part. But Ohio State has been out of rhythm too much in the second half, almost looking tired, aren't making many defensive plays, Najee Harris is doing his thing, Mac is having a great game, and Devonte was just showcasing big time why he won the Heisman. Add in that Waddle was out there and they did have to cover him, and Alabama was just too much tonight. If they come back, it'll be something special. Seems extremely unlikely, but you truly do never know with college football.

D. Smith would be a first round pick in the NFL draft, and a high one. I guess he can bulk up a bit, but that is usually a trade off: bulk a little bit, and you lose a little bit of speed.
I quit when they went up 52-24. As there was no more scoring, I guess I missed little.
6 titles in 12 years. It is pretty impressive.

Can erase "Kansas" in the second tweet and replace it with college football... or even "sports."

^^ Expected to be approved, expected to start with the 2023 season.

Good heavens no, they can't pick on my Irish like this .. we "never" get any breaks

Could they just stay in ACC, or was that just for this COVID year...I didn't pay too much attention to those details.

Except no one is picking on the Irish. Cost that comes with independence they want to maintain. And Notre Dame's Athletic Director is one of the authors of the proposal, so they won't be mounting an objection to the format.

ACC was for one year only and there is no plan to do it again. If they found they weren't competitive under the new format, I'm sure they'd re-evaluate. There's another conference that they could join as well. But I won't be holding my breath for them to give up their independence. The ND AD wasn't talking like this was the end of the world. If the Power 5 scenario ever came to be, then that would get them to finally break I'd think. But not this, not yet.

Yes, I was being tongue in cheek there. As an Irish fan I know we've gotten more than our share of benefits over the years, despite the refusal to join any conferences.
