    NC St QB Grayson McCall retires due to head injuries

    Like in many things if there is a clear understanding of risk then an individual should have agency. There are many dangerous occupations out there. I hope they don’t all quit. Sure, make it as safe as reasonably possible. Most players wouldn’t change the past or their opportunities...

    Curt Cignetti’s Contract

    Look, some have said people were butthurt about people not excited about Indiana or “upset” about bringing up their schedule, while I believe any objective reading of this thread doesn’t really show that’s the case. Strawman. People have stated opinions on one side or the other and both are...

    A good fraternity joke. Well done. I would laugh.

    Curt Cignetti’s Contract

    I don’t see anyone that’s butthurt. Perfectly valid to point out they didn’t play Oregon, Ohio State, or Penn State to start off the season. I’m actually more amused that some of you are clealry irritated Cignetti is getting national attention - that we would clearly like to have again...

    Curt Cignetti’s Contract

    It’s possible there were a bunch of doubters on here in 2019 but I don’t recall it that way after the team destroyed Nebraska and Rutgers. Indiana has not only scored 40+ in every game except game 1 but hung 77 on one (a patsy, sure, but it’s INDIANA) so I can see how the fans there are going...

    Wow. That’s just kinda crazy. I’d imagine there’s opportunity for even more “influence” exerted at the local levels for a number of reasons, and no real recourse or repercussions. Or, the guy literally needs an eye exam. Strikingly few officials seem to wear glasses in an age group where...

    Nobody bats an eye if this is decided in 20-30 seconds.

    Here’s the sequence. Ya ever see something like this before? Right or wrong call doesn’t matter, right? Not reviewable for 3+ minutes…or subject to argument.

    Vandy is another great story if you can’t bring yourself to cheer for Indiana. They get Texas next and still get LSU and Tennessee. Go Commies!

    We’ve witnessed worse reversals (the 2015 roughing the passer at Ohio State resulting in a pick six springs to mind) but AFAIK pass interference isn’t reviewable (for 4-5 minutes) and the SEC doesn’t have a sky judge. Can you explain this further? @MaxyJR1 you liked the comment above and I...

    This may be a silly question but how is anyone deriving “strength of schedule” (in a relevant, meaningful, or accurate way) halfway through a season roughly half of which were non-con cupcakes. Indiana is an awesome overnight rags to riches story (yeah yeah, so far) and epitomizes why some of...

    Gronowski has Fleck’s agent?

    Yeah but what about CFP criterion “game control”. 🙄

    He’s not really wrong. Georgia definitely exposed Texas as not being in the top tier yet. Very nice win in a tough environment. Ewers with 3 turnovers. Texas 29 yards on 27 rush attempts. Got their butts kicked.

    Good but not great. Their 2024 defense doesn’t approximate 2023 Iowa and has dropped off quite a bit in terms of yards per play allowed. Turnover margin went from first to worst. Not close to Iowa. They lead in TOP so there’s that…

    Someone explain the age thing to me. Worried about a cardiovascular event? Age affects different people in hugely different ways. He’s obviously better than some of the idiot 30-somethings we see.

    Nobody wants to talk about it outside of a few fans. Castro is hurt, announcers mentioned MSU taking advantage of some other new defenders. Chiles was rolling out, extending, avoiding the rush. MSU May no longer be horrible. Bad news for the Wolverines.
