    Season Ticket Question

    I think that Swaggerson and Rocksoldier have answered most of your questions. I would reiterate the idea of using the first year as an information gathering exercise to gauge where you want to sit long term. There are quite a few obstructed view seats in The Barn, but we are a long way from...

    Fleck: “We were 1-0 in the bye week. We used it perfectly. Whether that’s fundamentals, details, techniques, reflection, self-scouting..."

    PJ is rarely succinct when it comes to praising the program, so I don't think that's it. In this case he followed up the 1-0 comment with “We used it perfectly. Whether that’s fundamentals, details, techniques, reflection, self-scouting and working Minnesota on Minnesota.” If he was trying to...

    Fleck: “We were 1-0 in the bye week. We used it perfectly. Whether that’s fundamentals, details, techniques, reflection, self-scouting..."

    No one is upset, I said it made me cringe. Others are mocking the absurdity of the statement. If you want to believe that telling a group of adults that they were 1-0 in the bye week is going to inspire the team, that's fine. I don't believe it for a second, and I think it makes him look...

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    Not only is he the winningest coach in their history, he has over 100 more wins than the guy in second place. Pretty impressive run for a coach at a school that isn't even the best program in his own state.

    Fleck Postgame: “Everything that possibly could go wrong, went wrong. That falls on the head football coach”

    With our luck he will transfer to Mississippi State and we'll see him the next two years.

    According to this site, the buyout for the end of this season actually went up to $44M with the new contract extension he signed this year. Fickell contract

    Week 3 Other Games Thread

    Kent State, a 23 1/2-point underdog at home to Buffalo and on a 23 game losing streak against FBS teams and a 16 game conference losing streak just scored to take the lead with 2:30 left. Game is on CBS Sports Network.

    Week 3 Other Games Thread

    Do you have a source for this figure? Lots of reporting that the buyout was over $40M as of the end of last season. His initial contract, I think, guaranteed 80% of the remaining amount. I would think that if the buyout was reduced from something like 80% to 20% it would be newsworthy, but I...

    What are the chances we see Darius Taylor play on Saturday vs Cal - your guess

    I think it's close to 0%. Non-conference game, before a bye and just a week after tweaking the hamstring means to me that he ain't playing. Been watching Fleck coach this team for a long time now. When he says "we got good news" that just means that it's better than it could have been, not...

    Game 2 Uniforms?

    That's a road kit. Guessing we'll see it at Ohio State.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    There is certainly some risk in hiring him, but he has a winning record and two division titles at Northwestern. I am not saying I'd hire him, but I will be surprised if somebody doesn't.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    Seems like a good fit both in terms of the way he wants to run a program and as a place where being associated with hazing allegations wouldn't tank his prospects for getting the job.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    His agent has said that Fitz wants to get back into collegiate coaching. I imagine that his name will come up nearly every time a coach is let go. Curious to see who will pull the trigger and actually hire him.

    SEC’s Going to 9-game schedule, Will feature 3 contests vs. annual rivals: Here’s how it will work

    Mississippi State doesn't have another P4 game on its schedule for '26 and '27, so likely those games will still be played. (Yea!) Alabama has Arizona scheduled for '32 and '33. Those games might be in danger of being cancelled or re-scheduled. (Boo!)
