    Recent history vs Ohio State

    I guess "pretty tough" is a matter of opinion, but the scores of the last ten games, dating back to 2006 and all OSU wins, are: 37-3 45-31 30-14 28-14 31-24 52-10 38-7 34-21 30-7 44-0 Only one of those was a one score game.

    Fleck on Taylor injury: "It doesn't seem too bad, which is really good. So, we got really good, positive diagnosis on that.”

    Yes, the Vegas line setters knew all about Turner. All the discussion I heard between Cal and Rutgers was that Turner had a long term injury. And I am talking about from people like Ryan Burns and Justin Gaard, not some insider information.

    Noticed the same thing watching the replay. Seemed like the band and crowd were mic'd differently.

    Future Scheduling for P4

    The same years that we are on Alabama's schedule they play Arizona. In '32 they are at Minnesota and host Arizona and the next year it flips. The thought is that they won't want two P4 non-conference games in addition to those nine SEC games, but who knows?

    Future Scheduling for P4

    That's really the key point. The Big Ten made the difference between eight and nine conference games an issue in the playoff format discussions. The SEC went to nine conference games and mandated a tenth P4 game once they were satisfied that it would be a factor in selecting playoff teams...

    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

    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...

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