Plus one last year. Can you believe Dana Halgorson tried to scapegoat him at Houston?

Both Midwest guys. Neither should cost a bunch in NIL.

And now Eddie Kelley JR gone. Culling the herd. Which is good, Hilson gets some playing time and doesn't enter the portal in 2026.
Miami started this by throwing 4 million at Carson Beck after a mediocre year. And now with the shackles removed for "pay for play" the money will get higher faster. College will need unions, revenue sharing and collective bargaining or schools like Texas and Notre Dame will dominate in Pay for play. Unleashing that Texas money on college football would be crazy.
I believe the kid is being encouraged to do this to force NIL "contracts," instead of agreements. As soon as the first team protects itself with a contract, then the players will unionize for collective bargaining and a revenue split.

I think another DT is a possibility.

Gbayor was a decent player at Nebraska but getting Newson back, Trotter from WVU, Rodriguez playing well as a true Freshman and the other returners, where the hell was he gonna fit?

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised about the lack of portal action. I'm not a 6 figure NIL donor, so I direct my smaller donations to Wrestling because it has an impact instead of tossing it on the big football pile.

Weird thing is I haven't gotten an email in 2025 about Wrestling NIL. I assumed they were flush with cash. I would think attracting wrestlers wouldn't be an issue.

I get that especially coming off of a good 2024 as a Freshman. Tells you what kind of DE room we have when that type of production gets pushed way down the depth chart.

14 tackles, 3 sacks. But I'm assuming he was not on the same level as the transfers and Darris Smith. Anyone have insight?

I remember when these "DraftExperts" hyped up players and then were flat out wrong "Jamarcus Russell."

Now the trend is to tear down players just enough that if they are busts, they were right, but if they pan out, they are still right.

Jalen Carter, Nkobe Dean, St. Brown, Devonta Smith, Bo Nix are some to come to mind. Now the trend is questioning Travis Hunters draft stock. It's all just stupid.

It seems like now alot of people are down on Burden especially because of his 2024 numbers. They call him a diva and such. What I saw was a kid who seemed to understand that his QB was hurt. He didnt pout, he blocked for teammates and made plays when the ball got to him.

An injured Cook and Drew Pyne is not going to light up the stats, I dont care if Jerry Rice is your WR.

Pyne gone...

He will always have the Oklahoma game. Hell of a game.

Anyone ever heard buzz about being a bad practice player or mom/girlfriend issues?
158 posts? I post more than that when I'm pissed about Drink calling a trick play.

I like the hire. I only ask she go back to Kellie Jolly.

Looking like Arkansas is the leader.
I don't mind the slide before the tourney. Gives Gates something to use to focus the team. This is a good team, who avoided a stretch of mental lapses all season. Now they've had it, now get back to playing the way they should.
