    2025 Transfer Portal

    100% I've completely given up hope for the "student athlete" and educational aspect of collegiate sports. Which is sad, because I'd prefer the old school college football days, but the fight seems to be over. Moving forward, they have to figure out a way to regulate sustainability. I don't...

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    I don't care how many teams they expand it to at this point. But they absolutely HAVE TO get rid of conference affiliations for football. It's causing way too much bias, which is ridiculous given the realignment. Take the Top 40 each year, with options for relegation and promotion. Divide them...

    2025 Transfer Portal

    They already do, right? Chad Bowden is the GM. I'm sure they have NIL litigators on staff as well. They probably have multiple staff members who's sole job is to evaluate the portal.

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    I have an idea for expansion: All SEC teams get in!! We'll divide them into East and West subdivisions and make them play each other. The top two from each division gets a shot at the championship. The winner is crowned champion. It will be perfect, and no one can complain they didn't have...

    I'm one of those hated people who grew up cheering for IU basketball and ND football. My entire family is that way too. My brother-in-law on my wife's side, however, grew up near Bloomington, so that entire family cheers for all things IU. Most IU fans I know are just excited to have a team to...

    Anecdotal, of course, but of the 7 people I'm going to the game with, 5 of them are IU fans. They absolutely are shelling out money for this game.

    Cook family donates a ton of money to IU. I'd assume that's the bulk of it. IU has a lot of wealthy alum though so hard to say for sure. I doubt it's Cuban though. They spent $5M on their roster this year and got embarrassed by Louisville and Zaga in the Bahamas. People are over Coach Woodson...

    I can't complain because the ticket was a gift to me....but I'm a bit irritated that my wife's family didn't listen to me and pump the brakes on getting tickets. They got wrapped up in the excitement (most of them IU fans) and just "had to" get their tickets. I said I didn't want to go at...

    I, sadly, haven't been to South Bend for a game in about 6 years. I'm sure a lot has changed up there with all the construction they've done. Can someone help with parking tips, eating tips, etc? I'll have one car, three people (one of which is a 10 year old). We don't have a tailgate to go...

    Those close wins involved ND kicking FGs? If so....

    IU got a bunch of credit for beating Michigan. They put up 20 points against a pretty good defense. But UM's offense is garbage, which is why they lost so many games. If IU gets to 20 points against ND, they can't also rely on their defense shutting down ND's offense...which is the second most...

    I'm going with a handful of people from my wife's family. Myself and one other are the only ND fans. And they shelled out the current StubHub prices. Anecdotal, yes...but proof, nonetheless, that current ticket holders are selling for massive profits online to anyone (IU fans included).

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Spoilers! Only enter if you have read all books)

    I've wanted to rewatch GOT badly for a year or two now and just can't find the motivation knowing how irritated I was with the last season.

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    I understand the playoff criteria. I'm asking why was it set up that way. Who cares about the Mountain West? They aren't on the same level playing field as the B1G, SEC, etc. Why were they included in the conversation of conferences deemed worthy of auto bids and byes? See above. Thanks. I...

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    Can someone explain to me why the Mountain West conference is getting so much credit in these play off scenarios? You can't convince me that if UNLV wins against Boise St that suddenly they're worthy of being a top 12 playoff team.

    2024 College Football Playoffs

    I seriously despise how much weighting is being applied to conference champions. In no other world would Boise and ASU get a 3 and 4 seed. I'm not sure ASU and Clemson would get such a huge bump in rankings for winning either. They're essentially saying ASU (with a win) will go from #15 to #11...

    Just win baby! The bitter cold wind on a December night means ND isn't attempting FGs anyways. IDGAF who's in town. Lets ride!
