Is it more important for you to dig up a ~3 year old thread for an “I told you so” or maybe just stick to the current thread and wish the kid well.

What a disaster for the Badgers. I don’t know their roster but I suspect they need 2 portal QBs now to have enough depth and competition.

Yeah right, especially when it’s highlighted as an innocent positive that an early portal commit to the Gophers has previous ties to an assistant coach on staff or something like that. As if that situation isn’t ripe for, well his number is still in my phone and we just picked up an old text...

Ok, I did say as open a checkbook *as possible* but I think you can’t say that NIL funds are an issue any longer with these kid of early signings. No way are they all signing up for the slogans and to win the nekton award anymore - the $ have to be there or they wouldn’t be jumping to sign...

More scholarships but potentially fewer roster slots if some programs carried over 105 players including walkons.

The schedule is extremely soft next year outside of OSU and Oregon which is why I said 10-2 and not Indiana’s 11-1. Most of the opponents outside those 2 are having significant issues.

Well, it’s clear from so many rapid signings and retentions, that there’s as open a checkbook as possible at MN. The Cignetti effect raises the bar in the B1G. Accomplishing more in Year 0 than PJ and almost all other coaches that have several years. With the 2025 schedule and this kind of...

What?

Sounds like it’s not even a close comparison though based on sheer numbers of 2 deep players as well as multiple coaches being fired.

I see your point but also felt a little inkling of uncertainty when at the same time they post asking fans to contribute to their NIL. Maybe it’s just the foreignness of the new approach to CFB but it does hint at some connection of their staying to how much money is raised. If there isn’t a big...

I think he just wants the faculty and staff tuition benefit for his girlfriend. Apologies if this joke has already been played on this thread, I didn’t read it through.

Respectfully, why is that the question necessarily? Wouldn’t it be just as valid to ask, how would the SEC offenses rank if they played in the Big Ten, who has five out of the top 8 defenses in the country? Of course, there is no end to the SEC circular reasoning.

Shouldn’t this be an argument for Bama to schedule stronger OOC opponents? If they’re going to pick up SEC losses then to make an argument for the playoff they need a stronger SOS and more opportunities for quality wins. Unfortunately this year Wisconsin wasn’t even a “>.500” win as they’re...

Bama is out, they did it right and preserved the value of the conference championship games.

The announcers for the ACC game just verbalized a good case for SMU to stay in the 12. They lost today? So what. They’re 11-2, Bama 9-3 and didn’t make their own championship game. SMU showed they were toe to toe with a team that will be in the playoff so they certainly would be able to compete...

Yes! That’s my kind of bowl season. There was something so meaningful about the goal of every Big Ten team to make it to the Rose Bowl.

Well if thats the case then it’s a consolation. I really wanted SMU to win this thing. With 2 loss Georgia beating Texas and 3 loss Clemson beating SMU, the southern teams are going to say their conferences are just so competitive. Though Clemson didn’t even play Miami or Syracuse, the 2 other...

If the conferences are concerned about losing revenue from championship games, they have to factor in the loss of revenue if the conference game loser gets bumped out of the playoff. That, and the expanded playoff means even more games. So it’s possibly 12 regular season + a conference...

What kind of quality do you think he’ll get if he’s recruiting a backup? I don’t think anyone does that, at least intentionally. If a coach thinks his starter is already on the team then he’s not going to spend time and $ recruiting another guy unless there’s no depth at all, or if your starter...

Waiting for the settlement is probably what’s keeping him from pursuing a HC job. Part of his case I believe is the defamation from the accusations has damaged his employability for head coaching jobs so he’s seeking the buyout plus future income. That would kind of fall apart if he took an NFL...
