[quote]Seem like the #1 reason for anyone to get out of CUSA, MAC, and Sun Belt would be to have better chances to get recruits on campus.[/quote] The Sun Belt only forces teams to play 1 or 2 midweek games a year and oftentimes it’s on a Thursday or Friday. The MAC starts playing midweek when th...

[quote] The craziest thing is that the regularly scheduled A/N game is the week after the conference champion. But it won't at all be meaningless...the conference winner will still probably need to win again to stay ahead of Boise.[/quote] I don’t think this is true. I think the playoff will be s...

[quote]Before you get too enamored of Cignetti right now, remember their best win is 5-3 Nebraska. It’s the only team with a winning record they have played. [/quote] He’s coaching at Indiana though. Arguably the worst power conference program. The last coach to finish above .500 at Indiana was...

[quote]NIL has evened the playing field[/quote] I’m not quitting on DeBoer, so I don’t mind your post. I disagree with this title though. Hasn’t UGA gone like 4 seasons without losing to a team other than Alabama? I don’t buy this idea that parity is up, and if it is, it has more to do with ba...

Given the youth of the defense, we needed to have an elite offense to contend this season. I’ve not been disappointed with the defense outside of Vanderbilt. Even the 2nd half against UGA, they forced a bunch of 4th down plays which typically would have been punts....

[quote]He stuck around because he'd have had to sit a year if he transferred and Oklahoma still had Kyler Murray. There was no benefit to transferring before he graduated.[/quote] He still prepared at an elite level and was by all accounts a tremendous leader and teammate even as a backup. Hurts’...

I’m not sure I have a good definition for it, but not setting program records for penalties year after year might be a good measuring stick....

[quote]Baillou isn’t the issue[/quote] What is the basis for this comment? I don’t think we’ve up to the standard in the trenches since Baillou got here except for 2020 which was an abnormal season. His stuff might be good for skill guys, but we’ve looked soft too often over the past 3.5 years...

People throw the term, “It’s a business,” a lot but that’s really a misleading comment. College athletics are specifically a nonprofit business. They exist to serve a charitable mission. Maximizing revenue is not that charitable mission. This isn’t a private entity where an owner is taking a p...

[quote]That final was such a beat down that Ohio State has a better claim for runner up that year than them[/quote] TCU beat a team that blew out Ohio State in the Horseshoe. TCU was genuinely good in 2022, but almost all the good players and a good OC departed after that season. It appears Dy...
