Indiana has a helluva lot more money than you realize. Everyone thinks that just because they are perennial losers they don’t have money, but nothing could be further from the truth. They have deep enough pockets to go toe to toe with Michigan and Ohio State if they so choose. They didn’t have to have a GoFundMe account to make Cig the highest paid coach in college football with an escalator clause to keep him #1, they just stroked a check.
And yes, LSU has gone all in on the 2026 football team and are paying well north of $40 million and will go higher if they feel they have to. They have decided you can and they will buy a nattie. It’s that simple. And I noticed something different last night with Lane: he had a couple of opportunities to go for it on 4th down that analytics would have supported but he chose not to. Why? He did it when it was utterly stupid at Ole Miss. i think it’s because he doesn’t feel the need to now. He doesn’t feel the pressure of having to score 40 points just to have a decent chance of winning the game. He knows his defense is as stifling as his offense is high octane so it’s ok to punt. He’ll have the ball back in 3 or 4 plays. That is a dangerous team if Lane isn’t going to shoot himself in the foot a couple of times a year.

Let’s face it, anyone abiding by the rules today is just handicapping themselves. Nobody is enforcing shite. The only unbreakable rule seems to be no pros.
The B1G review crew obviously and blatantly cheated last night to change the outcome of a game for one of their darling programs. Tampering is laughed at, NIL and eligibility limits are open to interpretation, and if something doesn’t go your way, just find a local homer judge to rule in your favor and you are good to go. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Texas got all the calls in Austin next week from an SEC officiating crew just because it makes good business sense for the league. Anarchy is the name of the game now and until a governing body with enforcement powers and teeth is established, if you aren’t looking out for your own interests with an “anything goes” approach, you’re playing at a disadvantage.
Dabo chose to die on that hill of doing the right thing, not using the portal and what did it get him? He’s got a second rate Clemson team that will finish in the middle of a weak ACC and will soon have a pink slip for his troubles.

Lane didn’t help matters by running it up and playing for style points. He fits right in with those coonasses down there.

Russell taking the field again. I know he needs reps but we also need him healthy.

Would like to see him take some velocity off, he’s got a tendency to deliver it high like Milroe did.

What reason do any of us have to believe he’s magically going to not be a head case with the hand strength of a 1 year old?

He doesn’t catch with his hands, he catches it against his body.

An observation from another sport: although they swim in separate heats, pre-puberty a high caliber girl swimmer can usually outswim a high caliber male swimmer. Then puberty hits and it flips rather dramatically. But to say they don’t belong in sports together pre-puberty is a little silly.
