Mike White’s post game comments

"My goodness, as we talked about this morning, this team is really physical," head coach Mike White said. "They play really hard. There were going to be a lot of fouls called in the game. We knew that. There were going to be a lot of free throws shot. They were going to change defenses and extend their defenses throughout the game in different ways. And boy, it's a different look than we'll see all year, it really is. And they played really well in the first 20 until the buzzer. I mean, we were down 17 at half. And honestly, I didn't think we came out with the wrong approach – we had a really good shoot around and we had a really good practice yesterday. Our guys were fired up to tip it up and play in front of a big crowd – I want to say our biggest crowd this year. So we're appreciative. The crowd was a big factor there throughout the second half. We didn't give our crowd a lot to cheer for in the first 20. They had us on our heels offensively, and they hit a couple contested threes with just a little bit of miscommunication, and their confidence grew and they finished the latter part of the first half in a big, big way. Our culture came through, it did."

A realistic look at the future of the CFP

A lot of conjecture on the CFP. Most likely not to change next year. 1 more year on the bowl contracts and they need unanimous conference approval to re-do the seeding process. Why would the Big 12 or ACC vote for that? They won’t.

2026 is likely to move to 14 teams, probably with 4 auto bids for SEC & B1G, 2 for ACC and Big 12, 1 G5 champ and 1 at-large (ND if ranked in the top 14). Conferences will move to play-in games between 4/5 and 2/3, respectively. I think a lot can be solved with moving the season back 1 week.

2024
Nov 23 - Rivalry week
Nov 30 - Play-in games
Dec 1 - Bracket Announced
Dec 7 - Army/Navy
Dec. 13/14 - First round (seeds 3-14) on campus
Dec. 15 - reseed bracket. 1 gets worst team left
Dec. 20/21 - Quarterfinals on campus
Jan. 1 - Semis at rose and sugar
Jan. 13 - National Championship

I would invite the other bowls to have the losers of the 1st round go to them on Dec. 31 and January 1. And they be in the rotation for the natty.

Good Morning Dawg Nation

The weekend is almost over but today is always the best day....make it a good one.

My heart breaks for CKS.....
Really glad to see so many players, fans and others rally behind him and offer up prayers and condolences. Tough, tough week for all of them.

Going on my first pheasant shoot today. I won it at our local DU banquet and I'm excited to do something I've never done before. Should be fun.

Praying for all those on the LDGMDNOPL and the GMDN gang too 🙏🏻

Happy Birthday/Anniversary if you're celebrating today 🥳 🎉

Love you guys and gals, MEAN IT!!

Go Dawgs ♥️
