I'm not upset at all about it.  I just think it is interesting that the defensive coordinator for a school's football team makes about 20X the salary of the state's governor.  

When 100,000 people pay $100 a pop to watch the governor do his job,  this will be a valid point.

I'm not concerned about it at all.  I'm making an observation about priorities at colleges and universities.  If this guy worked in the NFL and made $1 billion, I would say more power to him.  

You sound concerned about it. It’s going against the plot!

Without the players (who are not paid at a market rate), no one would show up.

"Lost the plot" is only an expression.  I'm not concerned about it at all.  Really,

Mike Weber returning to OSU. 

I was very surprised by this. Did not think he would return knowing he would sharing carries with Dobbins. I thought he would move on and hopefully get drafted. I am not sure if it will help him much by coming back. I guess time will tell. Can we fast forward to next season?

Hopefully it's for educational purposes.  Get the free education.

Weber wasn't healthy for about the first half of the season.  His stock probably took a pretty big hit because he had been hit by the injury bug again.  However, he showed speed this season that wasn't really there before, so he has worked hard to get stronger and faster.  I actually think another year, even when sharing carries with Dobbins, could really boost his draft stock.  As it was, he was probably a late round pick, but I could see him improving that by quite a bit.  Will definitely be interesting to see a 1-2 punch of Dobbins and Weber, especially if both are healthy the whole season.

I’m not “boycotting” but I’m not watching. Just have no interest in two SEC teams playing each other. Don’t really GAF that it’s for a national championship.

If Alabama doesn't cover I win some cash. That's as far as my interest goes.

That's what I'll be doing. It'll be on, but I'll be doing other things, so I won't pay much attention unless it gets exciting down the stretch.

Yes, watching but rooting for numbers for $$$

Bama 1

Georgia 3

So I want 21-3, 21-13, 31-13, 31-23 scores after quarters

This basically. I may check the score but i have no interest in watching the sec champ play another sec team that couldn't get into the sec championship.

To me this is basically LSU v Alabama from a few years ago.

I won’t be watching, but I go to bed at 8 sooooo. 

I would probably watch on my iPad while my gf watched something on the TV, if I didn’t have to go to bed at 8.
