@WesHod This is like the last game of the 2011 regular season when the Packers had the #1 seed locked so McCarthy sat Rodgers and let him call the plays the first half against the Lions and Matt Flynn ended up setting just about every team single game passing record.

@DougGPilotNews It’s been a rule for at least 20 years that you only need to take enough to graduate. Matt Leinart only took ballroom dance his last season because that’s all he needed for his degree.

@bagels90 @JoshPateCFB Big 12 is watching this waiting to be a P3 after ACC is harvested. If you are the B10 or SEC, how many ACC schools do you go for before you try for a Big 12? I’d want Miami, ND, FSU, UNC, UVA, and Clemson. If B10 maybe Stanford as well before I even consider a Big 12 school.

[Justin Koepsell @jakoepsell]

@RedditCFB Could be worse, they could be playing as two SEC teams. At least there is an ACC representative.

I’m surprised there isn’t someone from the conference making sure only their teams are used for this.

@coachroeglin You’ll be turning away people at the door if you go to Green Bay. Resch Center seats 9700 for basketball. Friday night semifinals and Saturday Championship Games almost always draw better than that.

@SivaPrasad92540 @levineps If it was in prime time or on the weekend maybe it could. But that quarterfinal is at like 3PM ET on a Friday afternoon. That will hold the number down.

@TaylorTwellman @USMNT At least if USA were by some miracle survived this, there would be no talk about them getting lucky with having to play almost no one to get the World Cup.

[Justin Koepsell @jakoepsell]

@ArthurBoreman I remember a British newspaper after the draw with the headline:

E England
A Algeria
S Slovenia
Y Yanks

@RedditCFB Before this year, the last time the Big Ten won the men’s basketball tournament was Michigan State in 2000 even though Maryland won the 2002 tourney. So, no, UNC’s will not count toward the SEC’s streak.

@CracraftFan USA win the World Cup.

But I’ve gotten to see my team win the Super Bowl (twice) so I understand anyone who hasn’t gotten to see that choosing their team win the Super Bowl.

@slickshana @GEORGEPlCK3NS Let them go separate and have their champ have a play-in against OFC’s champ for a World Cup spot.

@davestillravin @AbsoluteBruno I’m sitting in Chicago right now. It’s 12:30. Perfect time to have a game but we have another 90 minutes to wait. In fall we’ll kickoff our early college football games of the day at 11am in Chicago. Absolutely should be a game right now.

[Justin Koepsell @jakoepsell]

@ItsBrianEgo @AbsoluteBruno They still aren’t playing according to their own hours. If this was September, US would be over an hour into their early college football games of the day. Those kickoff at noon Eastern time. Easily time for an early afternoon game today before the Switzerland vs Qatar kickoff.

[Justin Koepsell @jakoepsell]

@Hallybhoy11 You’re right, there should be a game right now. If this was September, the early college football games of the day would have kicked off an hour ago at noon Eastern time. Could have really stocked wall to wall games by easily fitting five in with no overlap.

[Justin Koepsell @jakoepsell]

@Alex_Asmitia It does, there is a lot more countries in FIFA now than there were in 1986. All of the nations that have formed teams in the wake of the break up of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia being a big chunk of it. A few African nations have been added such as South Sudan as well.

[Justin Koepsell @jakoepsell]

@_su6an It was so bad that FIFA had the 1999 Women’s World Cup Final in the same stadium at the same time of the year at pretty much the same kickoff time.

[Justin Koepsell @jakoepsell]

@NCACBurner I do like the idea of the NCAA back door saving a flight if CMS and P-P face each other in the Super Regional after surviving Baltimore and Boston Regionals.

@OfficialTMWTP @realboshek You could always just get the item and go home right away. I remember the White Sox had an Iron Man bobble head give away and saw a lot of people get the bobble head at the entrance and immediately head for the exit and leave.
