Regardless of what happens tonight, the South matters a lot more than you think
Yes. Important to realize that Tennessee sent 2 Dems to Congress until very recently. This seat was rigged with the explicit intent of not being anywhere near winnable. The fact that the Reps had to sweat it is VERY bad for them.
TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

And as I said in my other quote tweet, it is how things operate.
I know I was not saying “Don’t worry.”
But to act like the funds come from the same place is disingenuous. Come on now.

“Don’t worry, the athletics department has an unaccountable slush fund that trades on the university name” isn’t really the winning argument you think it is.

And the buyout isn’t coming from the general fund.
It’ll come from boosters. Who view athletics as their plaything.
Now, if you want to have a conversation about that, we can. We should.
But the account being drawn on is different.

Texas lost to Florida.
Texas has one more loss.
If Vandy had spit the bit today, sure. Fine.
But the third loss is the albatross.

Texas has three wins better than Vandy's best win, and one of those WAS VANDY.
Why should they be ahead of Vandy? Does Vandy have a third loss to Florida that the rest of us don’t know about?
You were wrong last night and you are wrong today.

Well no. The answer is BRING BACK DIVISIONS!!!
The actual answer is to make CFP ranking a tiebreak like the American and Mountain West do. It's the only way with the conferences being too big.

Counterpoint: If you do this, then why bother playing?
This might be an unpopular take ... but if I'm the ACC and Cal upsets SMU, I override the tiebreakers and put Miami in the ACC championship game against Virginia.

The issue isn’t the Ohio State loss. That’s a misdirection since that is a “good loss”.
If you were 10-2 with a loss to a bad Florida, and two near misses with Mississippi State and Kentucky, your record would be scrutinized.
There is a LOT of iffyness with y’all Sark. Sorry.

More Sark stumping: "What message do you want to send to the head coaches and the athletic directors around the country? Do you want us not to schedule Ohio State? Because if we're 10-2 right now, this isn't even a discussion."

You lost to a bad Florida squad and got DOGWALKED by Georgia.

Sark: "I think we're absolutely a playoff team."
He came with stats:
- First team since 2019 LSU with three top-10 regular season wins.
- No. 5 SOS
- Played three teams in the current top 4
- Outgained Ohio State by 200 yards.

Lane Kiffin is 50 years old. He shouldn’t have been called a ho, even if one is quoting a rap lyric.
He instead should have been called a 50 year old nepo baby who is really not worth this much time and attention.
And I would absolutely say this to his face.

I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
