This is unsurprising. The Minnesota DFL (Democratic Farmer and Laborer) party has long been a socialist organization. The DSA is a natural fit for them there.

Hell, this was the only state that didn't vote for Reagan in '84. Granted, Mondale was from there. But they have long been the most socialist leaning state in the nation.

Not defending Indiana, but it’s dumb they drop five spots and didn’t even play. Makes no sense. One or two ok, but not five. Following that logic, we could expect Bama to drop a handful of spots the next few weeks due to the schedule.

They played one team with a pulse and lost that game. They've had close low scoring, one score games (including the loss) in their last 5 games and there there's this... 8 of their 9 opponents (including all 6 of their Power 4 opponents: Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, OSU, Rutgers) lost last weekend.


Long story short, their resume is awful and if they weren't the defending national champions, I'm not sure they'd be in the top 15.

Add sociopath to his resume. Nope, still not a fan.

We can agree there, I'm no fan either. The guy is a nut and barely remembers the names of his own staff and players, but you can't argue that he's not an effective coach.

Yep - exactly. Frankly, it's Kirby......and then Cignetti though think it's still worth seeing how this plays out the next year or two (not to mention he's old). Past that......Day, Sark, Lanning, Cristobal, Freeman.........don't see a ton of difference there.

Obviously there are some younger coaches who are impressive (Chesney for one), but DeBoer was pretty much one of those when we hired him.

---

Not to do the typical SEC chest-pounding, but every one of those coaches (minus Sark) has a significantly easier path each year than DeBoer. Chesney looks solid at UCLA, but he’ll face as many winning teams all season as we did in our first four weeks. Programs like Indiana, Miami, and especially Notre Dame only have one or two games all year where they actually have to show up. They don't have anything on their schedules like the brutal runs we've faced—like playing four top-15 teams in five weeks over the last two years.

People have a completely skewed perspective on DeBoer’s first few seasons because of two big myths. First, there’s this idea that Saban handed him a championship-ready roster. In reality, that team was gutted by the portal and already had major, lingering issues on both lines of scrimmage. Second, college football fans have been slow to realize that the sport is now closer to the NFL than ever. It’s a week-to-week game. Because rosters are thinner than they've ever been, individual matchups and player availability dictate everything. Every single team has weaknesses waiting to be exposed. Those weaknesses are exponential if you have starters go down.

Now, does that mean that things are all perfect? Heck no, but Deboer has managed the transition to the modern game as good as any other top 5 coach.

Relief syndrome. Gotta keep playing

Lane just went full retard.

HAVE to make it count

Well, I guess we’re in that part of the game where Grubb has completely abandoned the run

At some point we have to show a different look than just playing a mile off and saying “here’s 15 yards”

Here comes LSU with an 80 yard 10 play drive from 10 yards chunks every play

Defense is spent. This was the LsU gameplan. Take all the easy stuff we give them and wear us out. They’ll run away with it in the 4th
