    '25 FL DL Jalen Wiggins (Florida Soft Verbal)

    They must have cratering revenues this year. They are also trying to buy their way out of the ACC. No way can FSU eat that Norvell deal one year in, much less throw top dollar at a new coach.

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    OTOH, Miami winning out could get ND a very manageable round 2 opponent.

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    Due to expanded conferences it sure feels as though schedules have gotten weaker. This is hardly definitive, however, looking at the 2014 AP rankings (arbitrarily chosen for being 10 years ago) prior to conference championships and bowl games (November 30), those 25 teams were collectively...

    Everything Soccer

    All that hubbub over the Ballon d’Or and now both clubs are suddenly scuffling. EDIT: I completely blanked on the fact Rodri is out for the season.

    '25 FL DL Jalen Wiggins (Florida Soft Verbal)

    It's probably just an internet fever dream at this point but that's also how you mobilize alums to foot the bill. As an IU fan I will be nervous until they announce an extension. I don't pretend to know what Cignetti wants or prefers. He is in a position to ditctate terms.

    IMO, if they think they can hire Cignetti then Napier gets axed regardless of his last four games.

    2025 Master Thread

    Marc Edwards was basically the embodiment of the FB archetype. I think he's the reason so many ND fans mourn the disappearance of fullbacks.

    2024 WATCH PARTY: WEEK 10

    I don’t think it will be an issue this week. Air Force is awful. Edit: next week is North Texas. Army would still be a solid favorite there without their QB but it’s a lot more dangerous for them if he is still out.

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    I remember taking the position that if ND was going to force his assistant coaches down his throat they should just move on with a new head coach. It all worked out better than I imagined (partly because the 2016 team was much better than their record) but I wouldn't be surprised if the events...

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    Another factor was that it was before the ubiquity of smart phones. The weather data the school was using was an hour behind real time and never reviewed or updated once practice began. The weather turned out worse than anticipated, with higher winds than expected but there was nobody tracking...

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    The policy was that everyone using the lifts was to receive mandatory training but somehow the school neglected to add the student managers to that list. They never received any safety training at all.

    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    It was not Kelly's decision. Kelly had no say in it. He was only allowed to determine whether practice was inside or out. Others over the student managers made the decisions regarding lift use. And those people are not part of the football program or under Kelly's authority. The school had...

    First win over an FBS team in school history.

    As much as I want to believe that the things you have shared are accurate, I just can't get my hopes up here.

    Oh yeah, still a throw that shouldn’t have happened with the safety there.

    I wonder if Collins could have prevented that INT if he hadn’t given up on the route.

    2024 WATCH PARTY: Week 8

    Nebraska is a respectable team. They’re 5-1 with their only loss in OT to a ranked Illinois. Smashing them by six touchdowns is pretty impressive.

    Yeah, I read that as he's out for Saturday. Which disappoints me, TBH.
