    That's awesome. I love attending random games I have no ties to. I went to a NBA cup game a few weeks ago. Live sports are great.

      Agreed. When I used to go away for business, I tried to find a game to attend. Of course the best business trips were when they aligned with an away game for BYU.

        That has only happened once for me, but that was last year's sweet 16.

          My favorite example of that kind of experience was the Clemson/Bama 2019 National Championship Game at Levi's Stadium which was 3-4 miles from my office. I was getting ready to go home to watch the game when a friend from my former firm called and said one of his guests has taken ill and did I want to join him at the game--50 yard-line seats with elite lounge and dining privileges. Not really caring who won (it was a Clemson blowout) it was fun watching Bama fans in pain and enjoying the atmosphere.

            Oregon's defense is very good, but Tech's offense today is an embarrassment.

              Miami performing and Texh not will keep the bias alive and well regarding the two conferences in the national media. But it just seems true that the top team of the other conferences are better than the top team of the Big-XII.

                What a crappy performance by Tech.

                  Yeah bone headed penalties and turnovers are killling them.

                    Teams with a first round bye are now 0-6.

                        Not a great day for advanced metrics, going for it on 4th down.

                            Cignetti's coaching resume is really impressive. And getting impressiver.

                              They do look really good and the announcers continue to act so surprised about it. Their love and bias for "name brand" teams is so blatant - they're not even trying to seem objective. Suck it, Bama, suck it SEC, suck it ESPN/Disney!

                                That stuff is mostly bunk because it's overly simplistic. Doesn't take enough of the specific situation into account.
