Fox Sports GO has the live coverage. The Big 12 conference website will have all of the coaches time at the mic on video to look at later.
But GP spoke at 10:05. He did really good.
GP is supposedly scheduled on Sirius XM at 11:35. I am guessing College Sports nation channel.
Also, Kenny was interviewed by the team on Fox SW. He did good. Looked relaxed. Looked like he was having fun.

Did Kenny walk off the set with a throat slash?

That was sign language!
But in answer to your question, no, he just handed the guy the mic and went back to the sideline.

I did not hear GP on Sirius during the time the Conference listed. But they said Packman will be covering what the coaches said this afternoon. He usually plays clips when he does that.

I know it was sign language, just trying to spark up a hot topic debate. Kenny + throat slash usually equals inordinate amounts of rage with some people.

Kenny looked good. Looked confident. Coach P looked good. Looked confident too. He even made sense. Talked about needing an offense based on the talent of Hill, needing the rest of the team to step up. But, fyi to the original post, the Media Days have been on FSSW all morning and it is on the DirecTv guide.
GP must not listen very well. Nobody on the CFP committee has ever said you have to have a 13th game, or win a conference championship for that matter. They said that were both factors in breaking what was essentially a tie between a group of teams. Anyone who can't figure out the difference between the two are just hearing what they want to hear.
Last year that last spot came down to 3 Big 10 schools. When everything was factored in, who you play, where you play, margin of victory, etc....the one they picked was the one that clearly had the best resume of the three. Every computer ranking that existed agreed with that, and since all three were huge blue blood Big 10 programs, that tired argument can't be used either. There wasn't a virtual tie that required things like an extra game to be an overwhelming factor.
It's maddening that so many people can't seem to understand this.

Actually, the conference commissioner made the 13th data point issue clear to the teams in the conference. And he did so based on what the head of the playoff committee said as to why they TCU dropped so much in the final rankings in the first year.
That said, the committee changed their reasoning several times. They do that throughout the season, which is odd. But can't pan GP or our Commissioner on this. The playoff (invitational) committee mouthpieces are the ones who used it to cover their tail ends.
Face it, this whole invitational is about protecting the big brands. OU had a loss, and got into the playoffs. That loss was to a 5-7 Texas team. Our loss in 2014 was to a highly ranked 1 loss team. The reason folks said TCU should be in, is because they were playing better ball than BU in the back half of the 2014 season. And BU lost to WVU. But in the end, it was, and is always about, protecting the big boys. This was predicted by many when they announced how the committee process would work several years ago. The fact that barry fat alvarez kept pushing for revotes that first year until TCU was out and the other team got in, says it all.
I think the BCS was a way better system. Pick the top 4 from that.

I think everyone is too focused on Ohio State from 2014 when in reality it was Florida State we should have been mad about
All the days leading up to the playoff we kept hearing "It's the 4 best teams, not the 4 most deserving". In no way was Florida State one of the best 4 teams in 2014. No way. They houdini'ed their way out of too many games. Yeah they were undefeated and defending champs with the reigning Heisman Winner so that made them 4 most deserving, but they were not even close to 4 best. Yet they get in proving it was actually 4 most deserving.
Then last year that all flips, it was no longer 4 most deserving, but 4 best all over again.
Which is it? I think the way the committee goes is to bend the criteria to make sure the blue bloods get in.

The whole "they were champs and undefeated last year" argument that was used to put FSU in was pathetic. It was supposed to be about the year that was being played. And as you point out, TCU was a better team.
There is the argument then Ohio State lost to a struggling Va Tech team. Either way, TCU should have been in. We heard that quality losses mattered. But just not for TCU.
