Bold: quite obviously it does. There absolutely zero reason for any person to care about college sports any more than they do any other minor league. But they do. And the reason is that it is (largely, as it is supposed to be) composed of 18-22 year olds who are out of high school and...

Which was? Why would he leave Bama for Michigan, if he has no tie to go to that area?

A lot of guys can coach and have zero ties to Michigan. How do you decide on this particular guy then, as opposed to any arbitrary other of those guys? I guess that is really what I'm asking. Harbaugh had an obvious connection.

Maybe a farfetched reference, but it's like in the movie Casino when Ace explains to the audience that bringing back a whale (on fake circumstances) and having him bet small eventually leads to him betting big and losing money back to the house. It's how those guys are wired. They don't see it...

So Cuban now is going to donate $2M (plus a growing amount to cover inflation) every year for the next 10, 20, 30 years? Money that vaporizes into thin air at the end of the season, no matter what happens. With zero official place on the team or "ownership" stake in the program? I don't buy it...

In any case, on paper I liked the suggestion by one poster to split DIII into public and private divisions. But ... how many public schools are there actually in DIII? Outside of the small UW schools, are there really that many? To me, in my (perhaps twisted) world, it makes more practical...

I know many, many DIII athletes who received academic scholarships from their schools. I'd be shocked if there is a single contending DIII school that doesn't award academic scholarships to its athletes.

But my post and point was about the precedent set of DIII kicking teams out. So indeed, the reason the PFL was founded is what matters to that point. I agree that the St Thomas example was a bad one. There is some thought that that whole deal was cooked up and fabricated by the MIAC in order to...

This team always needed a vertern QB. I was always correct on this. Just a colossal blunder to think that McCarthy was ready. Even worse to build the team up for a SB around him, forcing expectations that much unreasonably higher for a defacto rookie QB.

Now do the 11-4 and still in contention for the AFC top seed Jaguars

Only way to improve your correct post here is to say that McCarthy comes back for the Packers game and we beat them to keep them out of the playoffs*. * believe that requires Packers to lose to Ravens and Detroit to beat the Bears the last week (but the Bears might be laying down that last week?)

"Potentially available" doing heavy lifting ... that might as well be any QB in the league. I know, I know, the dumb thing about the dumb thing he said. Turned it into a talker that had no right to be. Alas, such is the league and this sport ... 90% talk, 10% action.

One has started 75 regular season games and 7 playoff games including a SB over six seasons. The other has started 9 regular season games over two seasons. Good take :sneaky:

Wash and Giants were never going to lose to us. They were always going to find ways to lose those. We didn't need to beat Dallas. But it did make fans feel good. We'll lose to Detroit with 3rd stringer Brosmer at the helm.

Hopefully Turner has turned (hehe) a corner. Meanwhile, Jared Verse is 2 for 2 on Pro Bowls and named a starter.

Agree 100%. But wait a second ... I brought this up a couple weeks ago after beating Washington and your response was "Meh, doesn't matter, we didn't move much". What changed?

McCarthy seems to be doing a lot of learning via pain

Obviously have to give Steelers a ton of credit, as well. Think that might be the AFC team I root for in the playoffs this year, with Thielen getting to have a nice farewell role. They have a great QB too, who hasn't missed nearly as much time as McCarthy! Now that Brosmer is starting the game...

That is quite the history of losing teams. I'm sure you agree that a team moving across state lines but staying in the same metro area, does not count the same.

Brandel is a solid interior player and should have been our starting Center the whole year. Not sure how well he does on the outside. Kelly needs to be cut.
