Tennessee state vs Calgary Christian sucks.

These games, while not "game of the century!!!", do not suck.

For primetime games, they all suck.

"Primetime" lol what is this the 70's? Where "primetime" actually means something? I can fucking watch byu play fucking army on the alternate fox sports network channel if I wanted to.

Most games are on tv now, just because it's on ABC's super special time slot doesn't put it in a different category. The games don't suck. If they were the only games on tv, then ok.

So only "contender" games are worth watching? Historic rematch of Miami/Nebraska and Michigan possibly getting redemption for last year's 43-40 loss (a game that had no title implications but was still a great game) aren't worthy of a primetime slot?

That's completely ridiculous.

Every network executive in the country would disagree with you about whether or not prime time means anything.

I never said that. I'll watch almost any game. I'll agree with Mulva and S&L, in different ways. The games suck and they suck because there will probably be 2 or 3 other better games on at the same time as each of these.

Obviously I can see the context as to why these games could be considered good, for many reasons. That wasn't where I was coming from.

Compared to what else will likely be on at the same time...oh well, to each their own.

I got an idea so tell me what you think about paying athletes. How about you receive an additional stipend of $2,000 to $4,000 each year you are enrolled, however you cannot then accept either a greyshirt or redshirt, must get a 3.0 and be at 30-60-90 credit hours after each season with a 3.0 minimum cumulative GPA after each year

It was technically an arrest but he was not taken into custody (i.e. sent to jail).

Complete the court ordered diversion program and it gets either expunged from your record or sealed.

I'm kinda familiar with the process

Technically he wasn't.

@LoriSchmidt: Leon County Sheriff: "Jameis Winston has not been arrested for any crime. He has been issued a civil citation."

So I can shoplift and not get arrested? Who knew... When I was a manager at Dicks, if you stole, you were always 100% arrested.

Not true everywhere. For Wal-Mart, anything under $25 isn't ever followed up on. It costs them like $37 to even file the complaint report, and thus, not worth it. It's BS...
