    Is 2025 when College Bowls Die?

    I’m surprised and torn on the Notre Dame decision. If bowl trips are supposed to be rewards to the players and something for fans to look forward to then it’s a bad decision. But with a now less meaningful game and a handful of players (guessing) likely sitting out for draft prep, imminent...

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    Yep, the standard double queen can be had for $153. The tailgate tickets cost ? to make that package make sense when it is $599 per person. How much are tailgate party tix? I guess I don’t get it.

    Back of the napkin (ie totally made up) math says the increase in ticket sales and donations alone would vastly outpace the salary pool cost. Of course they’re not going to do that with the previous guy.

    Yep. His assistants mostly all came up with him from JMU. None of them “got paid” until their incredible year 1 run. As any staff should be. They performed and were rewarded after the fact.

    To which I said this is the only site I’ve seen that. Are you having trouble understanding my language?

    I’m not really seeing any coverage of them that way barring his introductory thing at the game where he boasted he’d take down the big boys…and got the roll eyes. I’m seeing almost 100% laudatory coverage of the team and coach starting last season. I have strong feeling about some coaches as well.

    The post right before yours said some were calling them villains. Cignetti is detail-oriented unlike you. Like I said, this is literally the only place I’ve seen Indiana described that way. Go ahead (sigh).

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    Yeah, I have no issue with letting the little guys in. The playoff is probably already too large by half, conference titles should mean more but we have what we have now and even more expansion in the works due to the desire for larger tv contracts by Pettiti and his facilitators. That’s it.

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    Yeah I’d rather see what the Domers can do than see this awful Bama squad again.

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    My argument: They lost to 5-7 FSU and were destroyed yesterday. Notre Dame lost two close games by a few points to two playoff teams in the first two weeks of the season.

    Here is TxTech billionaire walking through blueprint for how they bought their way into the national spotlight. This is the new college football.

    I fought for amateurism (metaphorically) for years but now that it’s over and dead I’m all in on letting the free market do its thing. The revenue sharing limits, transfer rules need to be ripped out as horrendous antitrust violations to help force the eventual formation of a regulated league...

    This. Vastly different skill sets and approaches. And that’s “OK”. I admire PJs gifts and he’s a joy to listen to. I’m sure he’d like more NIL support and staff salary but the cart comes after the horse in some cases.

    Is anyone criticizing Indiana as a villain outside of this website? I’ve legitimately not heard this take anywhere except here and I listen to a handful of national pods.

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    Putting in a pretty bad Alabama over Notre Dame…I dunno. Although they aren’t great this season either.

    Official 2025 Conference Championship Weekend thread

    One of if not the best stories in college football history despite whatever you feel about Curt and his outspoken Bible-banging excited kids roster of 25-30th ranked average Joe transfers. I am entertained. Cignetti has revitalized 4 programs in a row since becoming a head coach 14 years ago...

    MLB is far away from parity. The LAD spent 600% versus the Twinks yet people still watch with dreams of 1987. Sadly. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll With the abandonment of amateurism in the 2020s the supercharging of bribes was inevitable but also brings into question why the TT...

    Are the two deeps transfers or holdovers, though.

    OK, but did they pay the entire defensive two deep huge money as well? Their most recent transfer class was rated 25. The inaugural class was 30th. If they have deep NIL dollars why aren’t they nearer the top? Texas Tech was #2 this year and certainly isn’t a blue blood getting the benefit...
