Since the SEC's streak of 7 straight nattys with 4 different teams, they have only won 1 of the last 4. The ACC has won 2 of the last 4 with 2 different programs.
It's not a championship belt. It's a belt that the Bama defensive player who caused the most recent turnover gets to hold.
NVM. RH beat me to it.
Well that's neat, I guess. I was wondering what was up. I didn't recall a belt being given for the win but did think that it was for winning the title, thus thinking he was jumping the gun a bit. That's cleared up now. Thanks.

They had me at "nap room."
I had a conversation with the contractor of these projects a couple of weeks ago and he was telling me it is almost sickening the amount of money they are putting into this too. He was from Colorado and said it will make other facilities pale in comparison and he's worked on quite a few. He said he personally has never seen a school put so much into a football program before. He never said the dollar amount but was making the point it was astronomical. Not surprising at all seeing what is always going on around.
Oh okay, that makes me feel better. So Clemson does this too? Cause I saw their players carrying one around after the game ... exactly the same except with their logo in the middle.
Correct. ACC was 10-4 vs. the SEC. All other FBS conferences were 9-31 vs. the SEC.
By the way: UNC > Pitt > Clemson
Congratulations to the University of North Carolina, your 2016-2017 Transitive Property National Champions!*

Thank-you, sir . . I was walking thru the TV room when I thought I heard that amazing stat.
$55M
140,000 sq ft
Weight room alone is 20,000 sq ft (That's more than 12 times the square footage of my 3BR house. For the weight room.)
Amateur athletics... riiiiight.
I think I'll stop by next month after it's open and ask how much they pay the players LOL
Maybe they can convert it into a rest home when the game of football is extinct. It's coming sooner than many realize ...

Which becomes extinct first- football or the human race?
I have a special slide rule for that calculation... somewhere.
1 - I'm very happy for Dabo and Clemson. If I was a 5 star recruit, I'd want to play for Dabo.
2 - We don't really battle Clemson for recruits. Sure, we recruit some of the same guys, but they're just way better than us. Clemson basketball has recruited some of the same guys we have historically and they lose 9 times out of 10 to us because we're just the better basketball program. Had Clemson lost, I don't think it would have done anything to close the gap in recruiting between us and Clemson.
3 - I agree with strum (call the newspaper). I too think the game of football will be dead within 20 years.

I don't know how with this new crap now! I'll have to wait until I'm on my laptop.
Serious question . . . how do y'all get it to quote the poast your referencing AND the poast it's referencing?
That's the only thing that's bugged me about the Rivals forum overhaul. It doesn't copy the whole chain.

You may be right. When it does eventually die, it's gonna be a sad death. The NFL isn't going to be ok with just boarding up and going home, even when the evidence of damage to the brain is so overwhelming that it can't be denied, and we find out that even much more minor contact than we thought creates even worse problems than we thought. Who knows maybe even lawmakers somehow force their hand to take contact out of the game.
There will be a season or two of essentially NFL 7 on 7 flag football until they just lose all viewership.
