    Why? Every year in the middle of the college football season people start chirping about how they need expanded playoffs, and every year by the end of the season everything shakes out so that there are four deserving teams and no teams left out that aren't deserving. This year you have five teams in consideration - Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Cincinnati, and Notre Dame and Cincinnati beat Notre Dame. Notre Dame only played one school that finished the year ranked and they lost to them. Really, who else deserves to be in this year? If the argument is non-Power 5 teams should be included, I agree - but that doesn't mean expansion, that means put an undefeated non-Power 5 team in the 4-team playoff.

    I think Kelly is as big of a douche as anyone else, but people need to read the report to understand that the forecasted wind conditions didn't exceed the limit that had been set on using these lifts, and the limit was set based on 3rd party sources. Winds didn't exceed these limits (>35mph) until after practice started, and it was an unusually high wind gust that toppled the lift. It's easy to say that he should have canceled practice and the filming, but I can't stand in a wind and tell you how hard the wind is blowing. It was 2010 so it was unlikely that they had smartphones with weather alerts, and measured wind readings in any weather reports at the time were significantly delayed from when the wind actually occurred. To say that he "killed a guy" is at the minimum a bit of a stretch.

    You mean not having Alando Tucker trying to create a mutiny because he thinks he can get the head coaching job if they fire Gard.

    And the two underrated things about YouTube TV - unlimited library storage, and the ability to rearrange the channels to whatever order you like. You can move the channels around so that the 20-25 you watch most often are at the top and the crap you don't watch is at the bottom and you don't have to scroll through them.

    If Binelas wasn't a local kid, people would be much more excited about this. If Binelas was a great prospect, he wouldn't have been available late in the 3rd round. He certainly has developmental risk.

    Plus an additional $10/mo for unlimited program storage, whereas with YouTube TV you can add unlimited programs to your library. Otherwise DTVS only gives you 20 hours of storage. The only thing you can't do with YouTube TV is download shows to watch while offline (such as on an airplane) and sound is only in 2.1 surround, not 5.1 or 7.1.

    Gundy has been at Oklahoma State since 2005. It's not like that's an up and coming program that just suddenly surpassed OU. In 2011, OSU was 11-1 as well. Gundy's career winning %? 68.5%.

    Thus why many don't want UW to fire a coach who has won 73% of his games.

    It's super clear that they do not. It appears that they value them less than a 5-yard delay of game.

    You can take Stafford off of the Lions, but you can't take the Lions out of Stafford.

    Turbo, Cut the TV portion of Spectrum and just go with their internet service. It will probably cost you $75/mo or so, but then add on YouTube TV for $65/mo. With YouTube TV you get the local channels so you will still be able to watch all the Packers games (assuming you live in WI), and then add on MLB.TV if you want to watch a lot of Brewers games. Your total bill will be ~$140 before taxes/fees, but even with the additional MLB.TV subscription it sounds like that will be at least $60/mo less than what you are paying now. YTTV has a good selection of standard sports channels - ESPN/2/News/U, BTN, MLB, NFL, NBA, Golf Channel, FS1, FS2, CBS Sports Network, NBC Sports Network, ACC Network, SEC Network. MLB.TV might be the only thing you would need to add on if you don't currently have any movie channels. They let you try it free for a month, and right now they are charging $15 for the second month, so you can give it a two-month trial to see whether it works for you.

    Go back and review the press conference and what Chryst said. He never said anything about the ST coach; his exact words were, "I didn’t handle it well, flat out.” Other sources are saying that the ST coach sent the punt unit out.

    Let's not get carried away here. Remember, at the start of the season Braelon Allen was at best the #4/#5 running back and the only reason Schipper is even playing RB is because the #1, #2, and #3 RBs are either gone for the season or just gone and the #4/#5 RB wasn't healthy enough to play the first half of the season after injuring a meniscus in spring ball. And if you fire a coach with a .744 winning %... what coach is going to want to come in after that? You're sending a message that if you don't win 90% of your games you get fired, and no good coach is going to want to put themselves in that position, certainly for a school that has no track record of winning national championships and is one of the most difficult schools for kids to get admitted to. Hell, Nebraska has a track record of winning national championships (as recently as 1997-98) and look what happened to them after they determined that Frank Solich wasn't good enough after winning 75% (.753 winning % to be precise) of his games and going 9-3 his last year. They've lost at least four games every year since they fired him. Let's not turn Wisconsin into Nebraska.

    . Or did you mean Orlando Tucker?

    You might want to take a long break from commenting on Badgers sports until you get to know their teams better.

    I’m right there with you. I’ll add Clemens, Schilling, Rose and ARod to that list. Can I ask what Schilling did during his playing career that would disqualify him from HOF consideration? Simply being a jerk hasn't stopped dozens of guys from being enshrined.

    And Nebraska had two weeks to prepare for this game.

    Makes up for the garbage PI call four plays before that. The ball landed 5 yards out of bounds. And the missed holding call on Benton on that last play. And the missed facemask penalty on the drive where UW missed the field goal. And the missed false start on the TE on Nebraska's first TD.

    Buy an ETF. There's several Bitcoin or blockchain ETFs (which are mostly composed of companies that hold a lot of Bitcoin/crypto) that move with the price of the big cryptos.

    Can't be as bad as the Shark Tank and Amazon nurse commercials that are run on YouTube TV ad nauseam. Ad. Nauseam. Pun FONT! Too hard to read lime green on a white background.

    This is rich: Carroll - Officials played a "huge part" in Seahawks loss Apparently his memory of 9/24/12 is a bit foggy...

    Hey, remember early in the season when a bunch of people here were calling for the DC to get fired?
