Well, I don't pay a lot of close attention to the SEC, so I'll admit I might just be misperceiving things. But it seems like South Carolina's gotten just about as many top 10 pre-season rankings as Georgia in the last 2 or 3 years that haven't translated into BCS bowl appearances.

This is the one period in history where it's true, but you're right that they're equal over the last 3 years in preseason top ten rankings. e: Really only over the last 2 years with 2 each, both were outside the top 10 in 2011.

The comparison ends if you look at the rest of the last 20 years of Georgia's preseason hype.

The only UGA fans that think we are going on a title run this season are the worst of the UGA homers out there. I expect us to see improvement on the defense, we have a lot of weapons on the offense and if Mason plays ok (not even amazing, just ok) we will be fine there. I see a probable 9-10 win season within reach next year, not counting a bowl game if that happens. Will we end up ranked pre-season? Sure, but I drat sure hope we aren't in the top ten- or top fifteen for that matter, we don't deserve it based off of how last year ended.

In addition to what Fluff mentioned about Georgia's long-standing history of preseason hype, we've never been floated as a serious title candidate. We've made some darkhorse/fringe contender lists over the past two or three seasons, but it's not a widespread, annual media tradition to pencil us in as division champions and therefore in the national title picture. (I'm not trying to argue that we SHOULD be considered a serious contender; just that we've never gotten that particular level of hype, let alone consistently over a period of years.)

Holy poo poo. quote:Change is on its way. RT @USWPolitical: #CAPA wins at NLRB! Athletes will have their union! More details to come quote:Wow ... @CAPAssociation wins its case at the NLRB. College athletes are on their way to a union. Victory for ex-Northwestern QB Kain Colter. Ben Strauss Just talked to USW political director TIm Waters: "The athletes won on every question. It was a complete victory. They ordered an election. They said the athletes are employees, they said Northwestern is an employer." I did not expect them to actually manage to pull that off.

I know that there are teams out there who would love to just get on the winning side of things, but it was totally underwhelming. And with all of those games (except GA Tech where the offense started slow and we had to dig ourselves out) it was poor defensive play that killed us. Vandy was lost because of some really bad (and extra questionable) penalties. Our offense was on fire the whole year even though we were slumming it deep within the depth chart due to injury. If our defense had been steady and passable (not even top tier, just good) through the entire year, we could have had an easy 10-11 win season and actually been in contention for a BCS Bowl game.

I remember during the Sugar Bowl against Hawaii they were showing his highlight film with multiple 80 yard incompletions. I've always been underwhelmed by him. How many picks did he throw against UF by bouncing missiles off dragging slot receivers shoulder pads? Quite a few.

I feel like the fact that at least some "student-athletes" are now officially recognized as employees of a university is a pretty big deal that helps the O'Bannon case, but yeah I don't know enough about the whole situation to guess where this all goes.

Not sure if the court ruling opens this door, but I would assume the "oh, poo poo" moment is college football players unionizing and then striking until the NCAA mandates some change in the compensation structure that makes them happy. Kind of hard to cash in on your billion dollar TV deal with no games to watch.

Dexo posted:Holy poo poo. Meaningless ruling today because all the NCAA has to do is appeal and motion for an injunction until a higher court rules for them. Eventually this will end up at the Supreme Court, now when THEY either pass on the case or rule for the players (not likely given the Court's current makeup) then you can say holy poo poo.

Kind of hard to cash in on your billion dollar TV deal with no games to watch. The National Board is where the final battle is. Once that happens. Is when the poo poo hits the fan. As that means all of the other schools will have to deal with their own students filing complaints or joining a union. Korranus posted:Meaningless ruling today.

It's not the Supreme Court, I'm pretty sure the NRLB in Washington is the final say on labor disputes in America. So yeah. It has to go before the main board, but that's pretty much it. But Yes still holy poo poo. I wasn't expecting them to even force it to the point where Northwestern would have to be the one filing the appeal.

They could not play and completely screw the schools out of everything. Schools actually have less leverage than the pro leagues as the students were already not being paid, and tend to not have lavish lifestyles to uphold.

Call me the pessimist, I just don't see it happening and being all roses and sunshine. At best I imagine this just ends up amounting to a cost of living increase. And doesn't Title IX affect the gently caress out of this anyway?
