🏈 (Sigh) Heather DickItch is ALREADY lobbying against Bama

[TerryP]

Kills me that they actually show this chic respect toward the end of the football season, like she has some big 'in' with the committee and her opinion means so much.

The thing is, she does have that "big 'in'" with the committee. Look around. You won't find anyone with greater access.

On a different note, slightly...

I heard her on "Campus Conversations" this morning and she had very high compliments for the Tide going as far as saying they are the only team in college football that could survive two losses and still make it in the playoff (using FSU and then Auburn as her examples.)

BTW, you guys remember this?

I've met many a women who can handle their own in mens sport conversations and I've met many a guys who can't. I don't care who you are, just know what the hell you're talking about.

I don't watch or listen to ESPN unless it's a football game...haven't in years.

I think @Sgt. Lincoln Osiris secretly has a thing for her...he's still struggling to come to terms with it. oke2:

Umm, ok.

I DO have a thing for her.

It's the same "thing" I have for people like her and Killary Clinton. I'd rather listen to a Nickelback/Florida-Georgia-Line collabo on a 10 hour loop than to hear one singular uttering of her nails-across-a-chalkboard voice. Add to that fact that she calls herself the resident CFP expert (which her employers officially dubbed her the last 3 years), when she knows as much about football as I do tiddliwinks, and that ratchets up my utter disdain to Spinal Tap' s level 11.

She just comes across as a Killary-level neo-feminist SJW. Which is probably why ESPNownedbyliberalDisney retained her to fit their leftist bent in the last couple years, and let infinitely more qualified analysts go.

this sounds like the same crap people say about a team after we beat them. and yes, i say we because i've never heard it said about ANY other team.

it seems that when we beat someone, and they fall in the polls, people will look at their place in the polls at that time, NOT when we played them weeks later they'll say, "well yeah, ALABAMA beat them, but they're only ranked "xx"." it's like their ranking at the time we played them didn't matter, only where they're ranked at the end of the year. so we could be ranked #1, and play the #2, #3 , #4, and #5 teams in succession to start the season, beat them all handily and watch them drop out of the top 20 by season's end, and someone would say we didn't play anybody.

and this, this crap, sounds suspiciously like that.

what happens if the most of the teams we play are ranked in the top 20 or top 15 when we play them? will it matter then? or will they say, "well, at the beginning of the season they weren't even ranked."

Egg-Zackly.

Do you remember when she started working for ESPN? Her assignment was covering the ACC--long before FSU made its resurgence with their latest NC. If you recall, this was before Twitter had hit its stride. The only fan interactions you saw--directed at writers--was on the article comments or sites like this.

Then, much like today, she was criticized for her thinking. (To be fair, she is mischaracterized quite a bit.) This comment tweeted was taken a little out of context (I made it a point to watch the interview) but the comment was so...well, elementary. IE: How many teams in the top 10 play more than one?

Point is...after she's been "taken to the wood shed" repeatedly over the years for saying things that simply lacked substance...I'm amused she's still around.

I still find myself watching, reading, and listening to what she says despite finding a lot of it ludicrous.

She also said she thought expansion was inevitable. While many think she was talking about college football playoffs, I think she was speaking of her ass.

:rolf:

Agreed.

That feels like a back-handed compliment.

"Bama is #1, but they're not beating FSU. FSU is beating themselves."
