Hell, LA's metro area has more people than the entire state of Alabama. BTW mre: no quips on the quarterly reposting of the "CASTLE DOCTRINE IS EVIL, SAVE THE BURGLARS!" topic?

I was reading that thread earlier. Made my head hurt.

Is it quarterly now? I thought it was bi-monthly.

Bi monthly is Manos' banning.

I was deciding between making the subject of the sentence you or the foot, and my grammar suffered for it. Decided on you after an edit, but you caught me.

Is he banned again? What'd he do this time?

Hey Guy's, remember us? The USFL? Didn't we have a good thing going?

I can only assume it had to do with a international relations based thread.

[ConfusingJazz]

He and speculawyer got in a hissy fit because spec's sources were questionable to say the least. It spread over a couple threads, and I think the mods were just sick of it.

“We will play in markets where there are no NFL teams or major league baseball teams. It’s a league for guys who are on the bubble for making NFL teams, and we will have complete open access for the NFL. We want to build a model that is sustainable.”

HEY LOS ANGELES! You're getting a professional football team!

Oh yeah, the Dodgers. They sorta count.

Oh wait the Angels. They actually count.

Sorry LA.

Oklahoma is getting a professional football team?

Yes, Junior Seau mourning period is over.

[bucknuticus]

Does that mean we get a team!!! Yeah that will go over well, bring in a team tosu could likely beat on a decent year.

Thanks to ads, I thought this was the entirety of the article:

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The USFL is back in business. Well, almost.

Oh. Well that was stupid.

[andycapps]

People would still go to games.. There's no professional teams here barring the Crew and Blue Jackets. And for all practical purposes, that means we have no professional teams.

What does Florham park, NJ (team hq of the NY Jets), have to do with college sports especially since NJ is stuck in promarkethalla on both ends? It just seems weird that they would have their hq (assuming the press release came from the hq) there.

It doesn't, it has to do with the USFL, the last legitimate professional football league outside the NFL.

[andycapps]

If the USFL thing actually catches on in some meaningful way this time, you may see some kids get drafted straight from highschool so that they can skip the pretenses of being unpaid amateurs. Go straight to making a salary, albeit not a huge one. The NCAA would no longer have a monopoly on the NFL's minor leagues.

Dude, I'm a Giant's fan, and thus know about the Generals/Trump/Giants/Taylor fiasco. The press release's origin is from Floram Park.

I am sorry, I am answering this part of your question:

It has nothing to do with college sports.

[Draxal]

I am sorry, I am answering this part of your question: It has nothing to do with college sports.

Oh my question was more rhetorical. Start a league focusing on college towns with out pro teams, then have your hq in a town that is only known for being the hq of a profootball team. Just seems very odd.

They're considering Birmingham, so I can only conclude that they have somehow forgotten that Birmingham's only stadium is Legion Field.

I've been casually following the playoff rumors and just came across the article that says ADs are insisting they instill a selection committee that chooses the 4 playoff teams.

How is this supposed to solve anything? Aren't they still going to be choosing big schools over smaller schools with better records (i.e., the Boise States, etc)? Historical precedence (the NCAA college basketball tournament) shows that mediocre power conference teams are favored by far over smaller conference schools.

I don't think fairness was even considered when they started the new playoff negotiations.

Money trumps fairness 100% of the time in college football.

I have been saying for a while now that Columbus will have a NBA team within the next 10-15 years. Especially with the Blue Jackets shitty deal on Nationwide arena they need another tenant.

Oh yeah, the Dodgers. They sorta count. Oh wait the Angels. They actually count.

Dodgers: leading the NL West, 6 games up. Plays in the National League, which is Real Baseball.

Angels: last place in the AL West, plays in American League.

So more on the CFB HOF. First Pace didnt get elected and now I saw that Tommie Frazier didnt get in, this is why HOF's are jokes in my mind.

[jstevenson]

So more on the CFB HOF. First Pace didnt get elected and now I saw that Tommie Frazier didnt get in, this is why HOF's are jokes in my mind.

apparently there is an unknown rule where A. two players from the same team can't get in, and B. players can't get in if a player from their school got in the previous year.

must be new, cause pretty sure USC had a few years in a row where various players got in in the early 00s

I saw this earlier and a bunch of people listed schools who have had 2+ straight guys in recently. Whatever just add it to the list of reasons why hall of fames are dumb.

I am OK with Tommie Frazier being shut out of something, certainly wasn't shut out of our endzone.

You're playing with fire. Take it from me. My ban message was "Standing out as a troll in such a shitty thread is impressive." I was under the impression that they just locked shitty threads instead of banning people who posted snarky comments because said thread was obviously shitty, but I guess I was wrong. Although now that I think about it, half of OT would be locked if that were the case.

Yeah, I stopped early, tried to list out my thoughts on it, and called it. Haven't checked it in awhile.

I could see that, maybe they'd move a team from an underperforming market to here if the city is able to give them enough incentives or whatnot.

I'm a Rockies fan, so I'm delusional too.

I hate their shitty stadium with it's thin air and tiny field. Every game there is just home run derby.

I think the air thing is overblown. The tiny field is an issue though.

[andycapps]

I think the air thing is overblown. The tiny field is an issue though.

I'm not sure if it's the thin air, or how the stadium is positioned to where they get favorable wind drafts at every game, but I know that in any game that the Braves play there, the score can change very quickly. 5 runs are pretty much no guarantee of a win there.

So, guess this'll be Alabama's Future QB


Cooper Bateman

Strengths: Height, Arm, Accuracy, not left handed, not a runner (hey, it's Alabama, we don't do Spread), a name that carries alot of nickname possibilities: Sterling Cooper, Cooper Bateman Pryce Campbell, The Coop, Cooper "Feed me a Stray Cat" Bateman

Weaknesses: He's from Utah.

http://youtu.be/0Fj0uona3ho

Ok, first clip he throws 60 yards on a rope. Not too bad...
