College Football needs serious change.

Players opting out of bowl games. High school recruits going to the highest NIL bidder. An instant transfer portal that opens DURING THE F'n Season.

Let's take a look at the life of a college coach in December.
  1. They have to hold on to recruits for early signing period.
  2. They have to hold on to their own players, trying behind the scenes to secure NIL money for those they absolutely want to keep.
  3. They have to go recruit the portal to replace players who have decided to leave for a greener pasture somewhere else.
  4. About 1/2 of them have to prepare a game plan for a bowl game without knowing which players may suddently decide to "opt out" or enter the portal last minute.
This has become a "tail wag dog" scenario that 99.9% of the fans hate, yet the NCAA and the Supreme Court have created this mess. Time to drain the F'n swamp!

Hope our AD, President and BOT members took a tour of the stadium!

Quite impressive facility. Beautiful from the outside, great from the inside. I know we will never dome the Beav but could learn a lot from this.

One, the concessions were amazing. In most stadiums you have to walk several hundred feet to get to stand in long lines. And each stand has pretty much the same selections. And pay triple the price for low quality food.

This place was almost wall to wall eateries. One after another with dozens of options. From snacks to meals. And with so many choices most had small or no lines. And the cost was almost the same as food anywhere instead of the grand theft of most stadium food.

And lots of clean modern restrooms. Meaning a short walk and no or little waiting.

And for @OldiesAtTheGaff cell service eas excellent. It slowed around end of first qtr so switched to free Wi-Fi which very fast.

Was in 300 level which is pretty high but close to field so could see how plays formed. Great scoreboards.

Opposite wall was glass with a view of Atlanta sky scrapers which really popped when the sun came out.

One area had a wall covered with hundreds of helmets…..one from each high school in Georgia. And a plaque with various high school champions. Pretty cool and would be good for recruiting.

Add on a massive stainless steel falcon outside the stadium that was at least 60’ wide by 40’ tall. Several nearby activities/sites.

Would hope to put stadium get similar concessions, restrooms, and cell service.

Anyone else, what did I miss?

Maybe Lando is right about bowl games

I've dogged him for years about the many dumb things he says here...but after watching yesterday's fiasco featuring a D that didn't resemble the one that dominated during the regular season, maybe he's onto something regarding bowls. A lot of these games have become a fraud.

The good news is that the expanded 12-team playoff starting next year probably means almost everyone will play in those games. The bad news is that the many non-playoff bowl games are going to be a joke. What draftable kid in his right mind would play in one of them?

But the D aside, holy crap, our O was painful to watch against the Rebs. You don't beat good teams these days, either college or pro, without a strong performance from the QB. Drew has the talent, but the coaches either haven't developed it or haven't devised a system to make the most of it or haven't put the guys around him to make it pay off...or some combination thereof.

I wish I could say that's likely to change next year but can't think why it would...

Will be interesting to see how AK handles the QB competition next year.

If you're going to fire people for being ineffective, you can't handcuff them and make this crucial decision (and CJF has said as much - said he was looking for someone with proven experience as the "HC of the Offense").

I like Drew Allar - like his arm, seems like a better athlete than many give him credit for and seems like a good, solid kid.... But not sure all of the responsibility for an ineffective offense and passing game can be placed on the receivers.

Will be interesting if AK has an "open" competition at QB imho.
