First off, how did you get your hands on a set of FW-15 heads? I asked Ben Hogan if they'd be willing to sell me heads only - no luck. Their shaft options are somewhat limited, but they claim BH options "fit 90% of golfers". Go to your local PGA Superstore and get fitted for a good shaft. It should only cost you $40, if that much. Sometimes they'll work with you for free when they're slow. In your case, I'd assume a heavier shaft with higher kick-point will be better for your swing if you're hitting moon balls. A lighter shaft is usually designed to aid lift.

You've got an enviable bag and set-up for a "newbie".

62 total points (Chiefs 38, 49ers 24) Or did somebody already beat me to it? Got to this thread late. GO, CHIEFS from an old AFC fan.

My ALIGN XL golf ball looks good with my new Tour Edge putter. I just played a quick 9 hole practice round today - didn't even keep score. But, ain't it pretty? Eat your heart out, Sammy Hagar! #redrocker

Lol....that's right, but they really shouldn't be. But, WVU shouldn't be in the Big 12 either. So now we're looking at Louisville. Who else ranks SOS after the season's complete?

The 'Power Rankings Guru', whoever that is, rated Clemson's schedule 66th after the regular season. They'e acquitted themselves well in the CFB playoffs, but yeah, the ACC doesn't show up until #25 with Maryland on his SOS radar. Who else rates & ranks CFB schedules? Phil Steele does in the preseason.

If you've never read the article, Meet the Bagman, you should. Personally, I've never actually seen money change hands until OBJ's act on Monday night. But, I believe it probably goes on at every big time athletic program. The discreet "$100 handshake" is tough to prove. Passing out wads of cash on national TV is not. It'll be interesting to see if the NCAA does anything. Just this week, former UT player Emmanuel Acho talked about $1,000 bonuses for interceptions during his playing days. There goes his inside access to Texas Football...

True For example, 2019 was the first time A&M played Georgia. The 14-team super-conference makes for odd scheduling, especially when you only play an 8-game league slate. More divisional crossover games would be better for season ticket-holders and fans. But, the current formula works for making the CFB Playoffs. SEC and ACC aren't compelled to change anything.

Agreed - this year - and you can certainly make the argument that Bama was the 4th best team and worthy of a playoff spot. I just want good, competitive games, too. I understand why everybody schedules at least one bye week, though. Ours was LaTech.

Exactly And to your and @GSwag 's point, who wants to watch - let alone pay to attend - guaranteed blow outs versus FCS cupcakes or lesser G5 teams? Personally, I'm not going to argue "who has the best conference" because there's no way to measure it objectively. Every P5 league has good, middling, and bad teams. One year, ESPN is touting a conference's bowl record and the next they're saying it "doesn't matter". Whatever fits their narrative at the time. Having said that, perhaps Sagarin does the best job with analytics and ratings? http://sagarin.com/sports/cfsend.htm

No offense, but I didn't miss you, Bud, or Sixcat. The SEC's mid-to-bottom isn't any better than the other four P5 conferences. But, go on believing what the shills at ESPN feed you.

Impact on LSU if Odell Beckham Jr. Handed Out Real Money

The AP, coaches poll, an other influences - looking at you ESPN - give lip service to strength-of-schedule. Until teams are penalized objectively for soft OOC schedules, they'll continue to fill-in 4 slots with cupcakes. Yes, it puts the Big 12, Pac 12 and B1G at a BIG disadvantage playing 9 conference games. Most every P5 team you can name is much stronger and deeper than the Western Carolinas, Lamars, and Tarleton States of the world.

News: Baylor is targeting Virginia Tech’s Justin Fuente as next coach and is planning an in person interview in next 24 hours, multiple sources tell @YahooSports. Fuente is considered leading candidate.

Report: LSU Assistant and Passing Game Coordinator, Joe Brady to join Carolina Panthers Brady must enjoy Xs and Os more than recruiting. Matt Rhule already shaking things up. Good for him.

But, Kirk, it's the SEC's first winning bowl season since 2015-16.....ah, screw it.

But, doesn't the Bama administration force the FCS cupcake games on season-ticket holders much like the NFL requires their fans to purchase preseason tickets in a bundle? You've gotta purchase them if you want to see the big games live, right? UT does the same thing, but our fans won't show up for what amounts to a glorified scrimmage. Too many entertainment options in ATX. I know LaTech isn't great, but they're one of the better, more competitive G5 teams. Most years, we try to schedule one "helmet game", one G5, and another P5 out-of-conference. https://fbschedules.com/ncaa/texas/

Here's an interesting article about CFB's declining attendance and what it may potentially mean. Realignment, perhaps? Many variables in play, including the exorbitant costs for college tuition and many other entertainment options for millennials. Kids today...

SEC Report Cards. Too funny.

Florida State is in the ACC. Go Noles!
