I have no desire to see ANY SEC even close to the title game. WHY WOULD WE? Screw those ______. They RAN football for more than a decade; give them nothing. For me, the perfect last two games would be over Ohio State and Indiana. (and who the hell wants USC back in national contention...

Well, we can't be scared of a "very good" Miami; instead we should welcome that. With the apparent mediocrity of our schedule, we need to: A. beat a Top Ten or Fifteen Miami; hell, we essentially beat a better Miami this year; B. beat other "good" ACC teams (like, hopefully SMU and Syracuse...

Watching Illinois (16-3) playing a bit. Names keep being mentioned. "Stoyakovic" "Ivisic" "Petrovic" "Ivisic 2" "Mirkovic" --- uhh ... scouting Balkan Basketball HEAVY? All of them play. Two are over seven foot. Two others 6'7" and 6'9". Throw in two Indiana guys and a Kansas guy and you can...

Poster #359, warning ....

Fullback

... or at least colliding with the receiver. Anything but watching.

I think that I wrote this before somewhere on this site, but (in my opinion): A. A LOT of the college football world dislikes Notre Dame intensely (both Greg McElroy and Joe Klatt both said that bias pretty clearly when they came to ND this season to interview Freeman et al. They both basically...

Pyne=Rees? ... Uh, no. ... ATTITUDE. BRAINS. AND a better Arm. Why would anyone say Pyne=Rees? One assumes that the sentence writer isn't a moron, so what's the motivation? Especially since it seems to be embedded in a crusade to smear a guy who did Notre Dame a fine football service. How...

Another moment for meditation: Came across the women's LSU game on TV today. The 6th ranked LSU team has a starting center who looked very good. Better than a mere spot player by far, and conditioned well enough to run most of the game. Sophomore "star-to-come?" Kate Koval. ....... thankfully...

We fail to remind ourselves that this ... uh ... piece of ... no ... uh ... mons ... uh ... no ... Blank ... has really well-informed and intelligent advisors, smarter than us.

Regarding last season's slow start, Freeman, in a moment of neverbeforeheard pointedness, told us the issue. In a presscon, he said rather clearly that he and the staff blew it by NOT practicing hard nor intelligently enough with players on specific details. He even gave an example: getting a...

I have no business predicting a player's progress nor even evaluating him as to potential --- just too much is unknown unless you're right there on the field with the young fellow and practicing etc. Humbly, honestly so on my part, Knapp's trajectory reminds me a little of Eichenberg ... "OK"...

Orange Bully: "Vance! Take the rare earth deposit lands in Northern Australia!" Moron: "Wha .. uh ... sure, Boss. You look great today, by the way." Moron to press: "We are taking the Northern Australia territories." Fox Press: "Great ... but why?" Moron: "Australian government isn't doing a...

Lord, what greedy morons. Shameless.

Since (flattered) asked: The 2024 vs. 2026 OLine question can't be answered in any simple way. But consider this: Knapp after two years MUST be "better" than Knapp rookie. Craig must be better (IF HEALTHY) since the staff saw him as better THAN COOGAN (Probably in terms of actually organization...

Ladies clobbered UNC in two of four quarters for a decisive win. My takeaway: 1. Some people including (early) myself thought that this is a weird team. It's not. What it is, is a team whose results are almost entirely dependent upon the type of opponent. 2. What we saw today was a team not...

As an old prof, I wish that humans would learn something once in a while. In that desperate hope, I say the following: Finebaum is not stupid ( piece of crap, yes; stupid, no.) He has somehow maneuvered his utter lack of talent (and even ugly looks) into a PRIME paying lifetime media job...

Either is fine by me. Both represent the weakening of the SEC and maybe foresee the shut-the-hell-up moment for some of the media. High school athletes should notice that too. IU being B1G geographically and projecting an actual "university" image rather than a semi-pro meat factory, is also OK...

This has probably been mentioned earlier in this thread, but: I watched about three quarters of the game, mainly to watch Bain play. I've never seen him look so slow and lacking in explosiveness or energy. He seemed even to quit on many plays. Have any of you heard if he was sick, or maybe so...

I get it, but Tommy, Cleveland? Wish you the best luck. You'll at least have a creative offense game-caller.
