I don’t Mike Frank all that well, but agree on Driskell. He seems to get a lot of the same negative feedback — essentially, “great analyst, but an obnoxious, arrogant blowhard” — but just charges ahead unaware that he is alienating his base customers. To me it’s ironic, because he rails on...

Yea. Was Doug the dude on the roof?

I had the same thought. And who was Doug?

I’d like to see an all black with shiny gold trim, black shoes w/ gold soles. Night game.

1) Ohio St. — like InKellyWeTrust, I live here and the misaligned priorities in favor of OSU football is nauseating. 2) MSU — Fake FG in overtime, unforgivable. 3) Oregon — ultimate smoke and mirrors program. Love watching them get exposed each year.

All good, I laughed. Trust me, no one likes watching OSU football lose more than me.

Ok, my last take on the subject, because I honestly don’t think it’s healthy. The whole “at your level” type thinking doesn’t cross anyone’s mind, ever — at least I hope it doesn’t. I have several ND alums in my personal and professional life (law), they are for the most part kind...

Guys, no one is saying that ND is not the more prestigious school. Sheesh. It’s just not necessary to remind your opponents of it — it’s ok to acknowledge there are other good schools out there. This is the type of hyper-reactivity that seems petty. Let’s turn the page . . .

Not saying you’re doing it, but statements like “CEO v Hello, Domino’s”, while actually funny, are overplayed and aren’t at all reflective of alumni outcomes. It’s just a bad look if it seems like ND fans and alums actually believe the sentiments - which it frequently does. It comes off as...

No one is saying ND isn’t a more prestigious school, I’m just saying the difference is overplayed. The statistics you cite are fair game, but they also are a narrow measure relating only to admissions. I’m not here to bash ND, I’d have gone there if I didn’t have some much fun in HS. For the...

I’ve identified characteristics that make the schools different — they’re illustrative, not dispositive. You’re reading in a contradiction that doesn’t exist. Nothing you’ve added seems to indicate a contradiction, either. The top of each incoming class is likely qualitatively similar, but as...

It’s arrogance, lol. As OSU grad who is a lifelong ND fan, I can say that I’m proud that ND is populated with (mostly) real student athletes. That said, the difference in academic bona fides of the schools is pretty overplayed — OSU is elite as public universities go. The primary difference...

Yes, let’s be the most fabulous team on the field!

I like Roberts too, he brings a sense of measured credibility to IB. I could see him joining II in a few years. He would fit in well there — thoughtful, conscientious, humble.

Are those shiny pants even possible?

For anyone who might know — Is it a foregone conclusion that ND will take an equal share of revenue from whichever conference they join? Seems to me that they should be leveraging for a larger piece of the pie no matter the conference. Am I wrong?

That’s when IB lost me — the gifs. Pretending to have inside info, waiting for it to play out, then claiming you knew all along. It’s see now where his “Let it Play Out” mantra originated. It’s a scam. Your absolutely right that he is afraid to sign his name to anything. He doesn’t offer any...

As someone with no inside information, I agree — this seems like the most reasonable conclusion to draw. DM waited too long, so Tommy took the bird in hand. Simple.

I give Reaper the benefit of the doubt because he seems to be a pretty reliable poster in my short time here. But, I could not agree more with your last sentence. That was my experience at IB as well.

Ryan Roberts seems legit to me. I doubt he stays with IB long, it’ll damage his credibility. Shaun D. is a hard read because so much of what he says is BS speculation it’s easy to get it confused with real reporting. Driskell does work hard, but with recruiting his thing is to act like he...
