And so is Alabama, crazy day

Ye of little faith

We did have two D linemen and a linebacker drafted but our depth wasn't good enough and they got worn down, that's why our only hope was to make them throw. They hung in for most of the game but we got behind which was a problem for the offense. I agree it's not likely that one of the small guys win the championship and it will become even less likely when they expand to 12 teams. I do also think that the teams that are dominant can change over time so I don't think it will be the same 5 teams over and over. I think Oklahoma's days are numbered. Look at Miami, they were nothing and then became great through the eighties and nineties and have now become nothing again. There is no guarantee that Alabama will remain at their level after Saban retires, if they lose their national appeal to recruits they are in trouble because there aren't enough in state unlike Ohio, Georgia, Texas, Florida, USC etc.

I would argue that my Bearcats had the talent last year with 9 players drafted, I think we got outcoached. We should have loaded the box and made them throw against our secondary which was arguably the best in the country. You don't beat Alabama by letting them control the ball and wear you down. Totally agree with Michigan St., that was the worst year for the playoff when the defending Champs and arguably the best team in the country got left out with 1 loss on a last second field goal in bad weather and didn't make the playoffs because they didn't win their division. That would never happen to Alabama and hasn't. I think Notre Dame has a shot tomorrow night.

I am hoping for wins by LSU and Notre Dame tomorrow. Texas A&M is exhibit A that recruiting rankings aren't everything. I think NIL is having a negative effect on a lot of these top recruits, already paid with lost incentive

No love for TCU? Big 12 is fun to watch, evenly matched teams could go either way every week. Looks like Kansas remembered who they are with basketball season getting started

As much as I hate to admit it, Michigan's ground game looks pretty strong. If I was to pick and outsider team to make the playoff, right now I'd pick Oregon. I could see them running the table the rest of the way and getting in

That was a great game, great games all around yesterday. TCU v OKST, USC V Utah, hell even Colorado won. Love college football

Seems like they could sneak in a stop in Indy and Ohio on the way from StL to Virginia. Would love to do the Vic, haven't been there since the 500th show many years ago

God save the King Encore? I don't have anything personally against the queen but as an American of Irish descent I'm not exactly a fan of the monarchy. Queen Elizabeth could have accomplished in Ireland what president Clinton did 20 years earlier and avoided a lot of bloodshed and bad feeling through the seventies and eighties.

Great win for your Wildcats. Love the App St. Win. Don't we have an alum on here? This looks like a season with a lot of twists and turns

Another season off to a great start. How about those games down in North Carolina? NC ST got extremely lucky, felt terrible for that ECU kicker and App St. v UNC was crazy! Georgia looks ready to roll again, very impressive. ND held up pretty well against the Buckeyes, I think Freeman will do just fine. My Bearcats lost a tough one at Arkansas but I thought they held up well on the road against a good SEC team, nothing to be ashamed of just need to clean up a few mistakes.

I know I caught one at Jubilee a few years ago

Bones! Great to see you checking in. Hope you can make it

Stellar Chimes from Lisa tonight.

Mr. Fantasy Days between

This is enough to keep me up at night trying to make it happen. 25th wedding anniversary this year. "Honey, I booked a trip to Europe to celebrate our anniversary and got tickets for a few shows to see while we're there"

Any word if there will be a show this summer?

That is a very interesting setlist, curious to hear how it flowed. Crazy tasty looking playing sandwich in the second.

My wife is a teacher and off work of course. I will go into work but probably not until 8 or 9 (usually go in around 6:30). However, if we win all bets are off I currently have 3 sons in college 2-5 hours away and all came home this weekend for the game

2 days away, lots of excitement in Cincy

Who dey!!!!

I realized when getting tickets for the Newport show today that this new venue will be the 6th venue in the cincy area I've seen DSO play. Bogart, Coney (Moonlight gardens), Taft, Riverfront live, Madison and now Ovation. That's a lot of different venues for one city but they have been playing here since 98

He definitely should have thrown a few away, I suspect he will learn from that.
