re: More incompetence from the UM AD: fired Moore alone despite being wanted of mental state

Not incompetent. Moore is a grown man. Of course getting fired will be stressful, but unless Moore went to HR weeks or months ago and said "I'm being treated for depression" or "I have anxiety disorder", Manuel did nothing wrong.

This isn't a NCAA violation. A coach having an affair with a coworker is not a violation. Michigan State was sanctioned for recruiting violations conducted by Mel Tucker and not his dalliance.
re: ND leaving the ACC for non-football sports?

I want to believe badly. Order of preferences:
1) SEC full member
The SEC has made it clear that they want to stay a Southern conference or schools that are sort of Southern. Every state in the SEC with the exception of Oklahoma was a slave state in 1860 and Oklahoma borders Arkansas as does Missouri. Oklahoma was settled heavily by people from Arkansas, Texas, and Missouri.
Indiana was never a slave state though it borders Kentucky, I can't imagine the SEC wanting a school so far up North. South Bend gets Lake Effect snow from Lake Michigan.
The other conferences don't care about geography or region or history or culture but the SEC does and the SEC must always remain a Southern conference.

People also don’t understand or know the history of ND
1. ND wanted to join the Big 10 a long time ago. Michigan blackballed them because they were Catholic
That's just Michigan. ND has had a long-term and good relationship with Purdue and Michigan State through the decades. Purdue and MSU have always wanted to play ND every year. Purdue has started to play ND again and Michigan State is playing ND next year.
ND has played USC 96 times, Purdue 86 times and MSU 65 times and the Michigan anti-Catholic thing is long gone.

They are in the Big Ten for Hockey. Why aren't they also mad at them.

When ND was an independent they never had trouble scheduling games against other teams in conferences. They used to play Michigan, Michigan State, and Purdue to start the year and then filled their scheduled with USC, Navy, Army, Boston College, Air Force, Pitt, and other schools. ND will not have trouble scheduling other Big Ten and SEC schools. Historically, ND has not played many schools in the SEC and the ACC.

ND is making a mistake. The extra practices and the game are important for next year. If you have 100 guys on the team you can play a bowl game even if a lot players opt out or don't play because they want to be healthy for next year.
I think ND needs to rethink their "arrangement" with the ACC and the ACC needs to tell ND to be a full member or get out.

So they can gouge LSU fans so fill their stadium, what is wrong with you?
How much does it cost LSU fans to go to Tallahassee or Los Angeles or Miami or Clemson if you include travel, hotel rooms, meals and tickets that would be as much or even more than what Tulane would charge even if they raise prices for those tickets.
I don't get how younger LSU fans don't want to beat up on Tulane. I'd rather beat them than Southern for Christ's sake and the financials of traveling to New Orleans when you consider travel can work out.

What’s in it for LSU?
As a fan and alumnus, I'd rather play a more peer in-state school. I think most LSU fans would rather play Tulane than USL or LaTech. We have a history with Tulane and we are the two best universities in the state. We play Tulane in other sports like baseball.
Tulane appears to not be a dog shite program anymore. I think the game gets substantial national tv attention as long as Tulane is serious about football. We can end the series if they regress. As I said financially they can charge more at their stadium when we play them.
Time to regularly schedule Tulane in Football
Posted by Ralph_Wiggum on 12/6/25 at 3:13 pm
A nine game SEC schedule means we can fit Tulane in regularly. Let's say we have a year with 5 home SEC games and two rent a wins at home. That's 7 home games for sure. In years we have 4 SEC home games and two rent a wins we have 6 homes for sure. A home and home with Tulane would mean we either have 8 and 6 home games or we have 7 home games every year depending on when we host Tulane.
We don't have to play Tulane every year. Michigan and ND take breaks. Some years we can schedule a FSU or Clemson for a home and home.
We also need to think about a year where we play Tulane, a rent a win and maybe another power conference opponent.
Tulane can charge more money for tickets when we go to New Orleans. That is common in college football. They could get double for tickets in their smaller stadium.

Holy Moly! It's mostly for football and athletics.
East Lansing – Michigan State has received a historically large financial commitment from an East Lansing husband and wife that university leaders say position the school's athletic department to become – and remain – one of the best in the nation.
Michigan State announced Friday a commitment of $401 million from East Lansing's Greg and Dawn Williams, including a $301 million gift – making it, by nearly 10 times, the largest private donation in the university's history.
The gift includes $290 million earmarked specifically for the athletic department. Another $100 million is an investment by the couple in the coming-soon Spartan Ventures initiative, which, among other interests, aims to significantly boost NIL offers for student-athletes.

Mark Dantonio during the 4 team playoff era took MSU to the playoffs and a Rose Bowl. But the good thing about Big Ten Expansion is that it can actually make other schools more competitive. Indiana as long as Cignetti is there may not be a one-hit wonder.
Dantonio and Cignetti have shown the right coach can win at other places in the Big Ten.

This Reminds me of Saban coming to LSU from MSU
Posted by Ralph_Wiggum on 11/30/25 at 11:41 am
Though there are important differences in that you can argue Kiffen was more accomplished than Saban. But the airplane rides and the "you better get on this plane to Baton Rouge" if you want a job.
If you recall none of Nick's coaches left with him and they were offered the same airplane ride. Nick though offered MSU a chance to match the offer and reports are that he would have stayed at MSU if they would have matched the offer. I doubt Kiffen though will stay at Ole Miss regardless of matching.

Harry was never drunk during a game. It was an act. He did it to support the beer sponsors. He would drink after games, but he was never drunk or drank before or during a game he was announcing. Multiple people who knew or worked with Harry all say he was never drunk or drank during or before games.
