In high school the coaches would list our height in cleats and helmet. We were measured from the bottom to the top of our helmet and our weight was in full uniform and pads on the scale.

Coach's logic was that is how how tall we are and how much we weigh on the field.
She is an American and United States Citizen. She's half-Korean and half-white (European). Like we have people in the US who are half-Irish and half-German or half-Polish and half-Cajun.

It would be so awesome if he wins a super bowl and Jerruh and the Cowboys wallow in their crapulence.
No way this happens. A 17 year old kid who throws above 90 mph and the next Joe Mauer or Ken Griffey Jr or Byron Buxton are not going to be forced to play college baseball for a year. Plus some kids are so borderline academically they could flunk out Fall semester their freshman year no matter what support and easy classes and cheating occurs.
I'm pretty sure the Big Ten would be fine with an unofficial 4-game agreement if it involves playing traditional rivals like Purdue, MSU, Michigan, and USC almost every year.
ND should have stayed independent in football instead of that dumb deal with the ACC. Your other programs can be in the Big East and you are in the Big Ten for hockey.

ND used to have a pretty good scheduling formula. You play your traditional rivals like Purdue, Michigan State, Navy, USC, and Michigan. Then you work in other schools like BC and some SEC schools and some ACC schools. You could easily have a good schedule like this

Michigan
Purdue
Rice
Michigan State
Alabama
Navy
LSU
Army
Florida State
Pitt
BC
USC

Win 10 games and even 9 games with a schedule like this you are in the Playoffs every year.
Michigan State and Purdue are historic rivals for ND. Hopefully they show up and take the trophies. Michigan State 28 wins and Purdue 25 wins only behind USC with 38 wins against ND. But for decades ND would play MSU, Purdue, and USC every year.
DePaul is in the Big East. Fordham, Saint Louis, La Salle, and Tulane are somewhat respectable basketball schools with some decent history..
This reminds me of the Mardi Gras comeback of Pitino versus Dale Brown.
There are 129 teams in FCS and 24 teams make the playoffs. That's less than 20 percent making the playoffs. FBS has 136 teams so less than 20 percent would make the playoffs.

24 teams is a good number. The top 8 teams get a first round bye. The other 16 play each other the first week with 9 v 16 and so on.
I think the pyramid is fine. Unprocessed meat and fruits and vegetables (fresh, frozen, canned) are good for you. Refined carbs like sugar and white flour are not that good for you. Whole grains are great. I think the only mistake is to deemphasize whole grains and nuts.
The North Central QB transferred from a DI school. I forget which one. The River Falls QB is a senior. Don't know if he can get a 5th year at DI.

The talent’s not as good, but DIII is the last refuge of true college amateurism.


No athletic scholarships, but DIII kids can get money for NIL. They obviously don't get it at the same scale of DI, but if you have a lot of money you could theoretically fund a DIII powerhouse.
For those of you who want true college football and playing for your school, then this is for you. So start watching DIII and stop complaining about the current state of the FBS
No. I'm not. Would you want 15 inches of rain in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl? Would you want an ice storm in Dallas for the Cotten Bowl?

The Steelers cannot simply fire a black man and replace him with a white man


Plenty of NFL teams have replaced black coaches with white coaches. I think Tomlin's consistency is fine and the Rooneys don't run the organization like Jerruh. He could get fired but most likely he'll be allowed to step down, but who is waiting in the wings?
I don't think they have been underrated, but LSU begins the season higher ranked in the AP polls and tends to get the benefit of the doubt more in losses and thus stays in the polls longer.

I do think that LSU has underperformed, but expectations are a little bit different. Minnesota wants to make the playoffs, and there are members of the media and fans in Minnesota who think Fleck is more of a gimmick, but he's less likely to get fired after going 7-5.

They lost Johnson and Glenn. Maybe he wasn't the brains behind the operation.
