14-9 in two years at Elon. Why didn't his genius work there??

Why are none of you capable of answering this: then why did it take until 2025, at the age of 64, with a purchased Heisman QB ... for Cignetti's genius to finally be realized??

Cuban didn't spend $2M to buy the guy who will win the Heisman?

If Cignetti was some genius, then he would have accomplished much more, much earlier in his career. Not a single one of his worshippers has been able to address this point. He's the luckiest guy on Earth in college football, at the moment. Good for him. Any school (including Minnesota) can...

Big Ten will get three teams in. If Michigan had beaten Ohio State, it would have been four. Other than that, I really don't much care.

I reject this. Wholecloth. Spending a bunch of money to go buy a bunch of players ... is not interesting or noteworthy. It's a unique thing to college football, and degrades it in my eyes.

Because it is definitely is interesting to think about the things that should have happened, in hindsight, and what it might have taken to make them happen. People do that all the time. I think it's more fun than dwelling on the mistakes that have been made.

We know exactly what is going to happen the rest of the year. It will be Air Mac as KOC tries to figure out what kind (not if) of QB we bring in to compete next year. They'll win more games than we think. Will be interesting to see how many spots they slide because of the last win they get...

This was understood, and I thought my post already was careful to explain the hypothetical that extends beyond what actually did happen. The interesting question is to think about if there was a price New England would have accepted to trade out of the top pick, or if there was no price. And...

Granted you could fly down the morning of the 26th. MSP - PHX is a competitive route with Delta, American (PHX hub), Southwest (PHX hub), and Sun Country all serving it. 230pm game ... you could probably even fly back on a late flight the same day

Barf because of the Bowl, because of the opponent, or both? I think playing K-State or Iowa State in PHX is a fine deal, for what we ended up with as a record this year. Cincy has less appeal, for sure.

Bold: I can't tell if you actually believe this?? Sheer absurdity, to believe that. Exactly the same as Dabo at Clemson in the mid to late 2010's. They won simply because they had better talent than most of the teams they played, in the weak a$$ ACC. Couple tough games a year. Then they...

So what does/will Cuban get out of this? Being a sugar daddy? He won't get a single shred of official credit. He had absolutely zero official capacity on the team. Unlike being an owner of a pro team. How long can his ego handle that? Once the novelty of this wears off?

I disagree that their 2024 results were "beat the snot out of every team". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Indiana_Hoosiers_football_team#Schedule They did have some nice margins of victory against their pathetic non-conf (same thing this year) as well as against the Big Ten teams they...

I can only interpret this post to mean that you agree that Cignetti is no coaching genius nor is he some talent evaluation genius. Otherwise, we would've beaten NDSU when he was coaching JMU at the FCS level.

Only dead? I'm well past dead. Barely any remains left. I'm just a bitter, bitter spirit haunting the hill.

Would absolutely love to peer into another universe where Cuban doesn't spend a dime on 2025 IU just like he didn't spend a dime on 2024 IU. No Mendoza. Who's the QB this year, then? How many games does IU win?

Correct. And brings home the point about Mendoza: Cuban didn't write a $2M check for some bum that no one wanted.

The interesting thing to think about is: - if somehow in 2023 the Vikings had lost more games such that they moved up in the draft order close enough that KAM and the Vikings executive leadership would've been more willing to do a trade for what it would've taken to move into #1 to take Drake...

If Wentz had not needed season ending surgery and had been healthy again, Brosmer would never have played this year. Oh well
