Wasn't it known that Fleck at W Michigan looking to capitalize on his success had "a list" of programs and that one of the criteria was being in a large market? VT, like their former hated rival WV, are the antithesis of that.

Not trying to be a prick. Just that, none of this makes any sense to me. 2024 Indiana basically went 1-1 in the only two games that mattered. They beat Michigan at home, a team that would two weeks later beat Ohio State, and they lost at Ohio State. Then lost in the first round to Notre Dame...

Bold: So ... Cig did some nice things at ... [let me look here, ah yes] James Madison. Granted, he couldn't get past the Bison in 2019 and 2021, when JMU was still FCS. But he did have a couple nice seasons the first two of JMU moving up to FBS. And then, he's at Indiana. That ... gets you...

So ..... I have a question. All this money that's dumping into ... [checks notes] Indiana ... football ....... where has it been all these years? These guys just win Powerball last year? Even if you can hand waive away that the money is suddenly here ... that that's a thing to do, in 2025...

Steve Sarkisian went from Washington directly to USC in the old Pac-12 in 2014. Of course, that ended very poorly and quickly. Tom Obrien was HC at Boston College for several years in the Big East, and then a couple years after they moved to the ACC he left directly for NC State in 2007. That...

We should, can, and will take all the luck we can get! Some luck is always needed

That's just because the NFL chooses to subtract sack yards from "team" passing. Don't get me wrong, 45 actual passing yards ain't good. Might be one of very few areas where college does it better.

He's from the state of PA, has some roots there

Cignetti gotta be #1 target From Pittsburgh, played at WV (just south of Pitt), first head coaching job was at IUP which has a great DII program in Pennsylvania. Back up the Brinks truck. Blank check

Would be ... I guess ... a matter of if he believes a program like Indiana can ever win a natty, in the current cabal of blue blood oligopoly that is college football. If not, that would be the reason to go to, say, Penn State.

Did the wins come first, or did the donors come first? I'm just wondering why doesn't our prez, Coyle, and Fleck attrack the donors in the same way? I guess I don't know about the new prez that much, but certainly Coyle and Fleck want to win and would gladly pay players to come here to make...

How far ahead of time do the network partners have to choose which games they're taking for a particular week? I'm guessing it's a thing of which network gets us as to which slot they're going to try to put the game in?

You were thinking that was how the Purdue game was going to go, when you put it in the Wins category, right? :cool: I think the NW game belongs in the story of the season group. And so should have the Purdue game. At this point, it seems like only Buff, NW State, and Wisc are actually for sure...

I was not thinking it would hold up!

OK, let me try my thought process this way. (Fully granted, my thought process may still have never been right in the first place!) Here are the Gopher athletic dept financial reports: https://gophersports.com/sports/2018/5/21/ot-financial-reports-html The NCAA ones have way more detail. The...

Then how are these private coaches and these "development" centers, or whatever you want to call them, so profitable? There are plenty of skills to learn, and to practice, at every position.

Well said. If we lost @ Iowa and @ Oregon, and win the rest ... and I don't care how they win them, or if the other teams lose them, a win is a win ... 8-4 and Music City Bowl is still a good season.

If you're going to lie about what people say, as you do here lying about what I said, then there's no point trying to have a discussion with you

Bold 1: would really love to get four wins out of that. 8-4 I think would be a nice season. I think it's doable, but they have to sweep at home and then get a win on the road at Iowa or NW (which might be tougher than expected). Bold 2: he was damn slippery. I knew they could do some things on...
