6am depart, PNW craft beers available from 9am

Why the delay? Do they not understand traveling support?

I think its actually because we're in the US by then, and outside of BC's liquor rules

Well done to Indiana for winning their first national title and going undefeated. They are the program that had the most losses in NCAA history.

i tell you what though, that last pass was probably 10cm from a Miami win

A season for the ages.
Incredible run, first college to go 16-0 since 1884!
Love Cignetti, no one needs to google him now.
Like the way he operates, the ABs need someone like him.
And he dropped an F bomb at the end, perfect.
Miami were good tho.

Good to see another school win for a change

Impressive turnaround from Indiana.

2 years ago were a basketcase and now this season go undefeated.

Fun game too. NCAA serves up excellent offense. Great to see new faces at the table - shows the playoff structure works, and that the old seedings were a bunch of Fern-level geniuses stuffed in a room picking the big names. I mean, like the All Blacks selections of 24/25

And beat all the big guns . . .
Ohio State
Alabama
Oregon
one after the other . . .
very impressive

The media usually talks up the SEC teams, but that is three wins in a row by different Big Ten teams.

Robert Kraft might have to send the owner of the Titans a gift basket...

Nick Saban (ex Alabama HC) made a smart ass comment to-day about the apparent college football power shifting from the SEC to the Big Ten.

He said something along the lines of . . .
"The only reason a player would want to move from the south to the north is for money."
Maybe an element of truth in what he said

College football players can earn quite good money now, and the Big Ten colleges have access to huge amounts of finance. Some in the south do as well.
The Big Ten just knocked back a huge $2.5 billion silverlake type investment; dealing with a similar sort disputation that NZ rugby went thru.
All colleges had to agree to it, Michigan didn't like it, for the same reasons a lot in NZ didn't like the silverlake deal, and nixed it.
But the money guys will be back sometime.
