This is so right. Captures how we all feel about this program's journey. Thanks, Brian.

You're getting a lot of…

You're getting a lot of downvotes for a realistic take. The CFP committee has said they are not obligated to take "the most deserving teams". And they have said that player availability is a criteria. We hate those aspects of the CFP, but they are there.

Now, there is a chance they will do the right thing and leave out the SEC, but how many of us think they will do that?

I think they will put FSU in a NY6 bowl against a top 10 team that is very likely to beat them, such as Georgia or OSU for vaguely "I told you so" reasons. It sucks, it doesn't offer a compelling argument against "why do we play the games, then?", but I think that's what will happen.

I've been wrong before though.

As soon as my wife saw the graphic, she said, "we call it a kilowin".

Our vociferous defense is…

Our vociferous defense is based on multiple points. If one or two assisstants knew about what Stallions was doing, that's worse than what we thought and is potentially justificiation for suspending the head coach from a "lack of institutional control standpoint" (and definitely justification for their firing) but doesn't refute the lack of significant competitive advantage (and the investigation/media coverage therefore being way out of proportion) nor the conference's completely messed up approach to handling the issue.

I do agree with your second point about the long term strategy.

As for Counterpunt, hope the game isn't that close but enjoyed that nostalgia trip.

I wanted to add that I saw it happen and the fan who did it was acting a little loopy in the minutes leading up to it. Not trying to sympathize with him or justify it (it was 100% shitty behavior), but it seemed more like someone with a lack of control rather than something malicious. Either way, permanent ban is the right response.

Awesome job, Seth and crew to make this still happen while undermanned. Sincerely hope the best for Brian, whatever the situation may be.

I will happily take a very delayed hardcopy, just want one eventually. Will we be able to buy them in the mgostore at some point, like in years past?

I understand the thought, if only from a financial perspective. Would love to activate the Futurama what-if machine and see what that does to the conference's bottom line. Not a realistic approach though.

At one point it was named sushi.come, at a different point I think it switched to sushi.com. They had a goofy name but good food and plenty of TVs for watching football. I assume this was just another Penix joke...

It's probably been said, but to a lot of us who don't have the knowledge (NTTK), these little tidbits that go into the micro details of the sport are great reads. They're a good complement to the more "macro" level content.

If I was trying to learn this, I imagine I would ask, how is it different when the receiver is lined up as a Z, off the line of scrimmage? Do you just keep mirroring steps until you get close enough to make contact?

If you normally like chicken

If you normally like chicken and pie when they are separate though, what turned out to cause this for me was an allergy to peas, or sometimes the soy protein used in soups that were used to make the filling. Without any of those, it suddenly became food again. Probably only worth a try if you know you have some food allergies already.

It could be for new starters (not just freshmen) as a star inscribed inside the circle, so that you have a contrast between completely empty white circles and stars inside. Although I have to admit I like the way the up and down stars look when combined.

Anyway, these diagrams are great, keep it up!

While we are learning about

While we are learning about football terminology here (which, thank you, love these articles), can someone clear something up? "Upfield" as you say here is always in the direction the defense is facing at the snap, correct? I feel like I've seen "upfield" used to refer to both directions in UFRs, picture pages, etc, as if it means the direction you are facing at the snap, regardless of whether you're on offense or defense.
