It really is, at so many levels. It's almost a shame they have such a good product (mostly due to the fans).

Morocco is just so much faster. Maybe Scotland can buckle down on D and score a messy goal to tie it. But it could also be 3-0 by now.

Sure. In a past era, some junior who projects as a fourth round pick goes to the draft, gets selected, and bumps this years sixth/seventh round pick out to be UDFAs. Instead, now, they make more money playing another year in college. So they stay in school and Rubio gets drafted. Of course, in...

That was always the vibe.

Was at the Scotland-Haiti game. What an amazing scene. The Scots obviously turned out but there were a lot of Haitians there too and they don't get to see their team very often. Everyone was having a blast. The only thing I could compare the atmosphere to (of course) was a really really big...

Not to take a dump on Huff, and talking to experienced pros certainly can't hurt. But I'm not sure Brian Kelly, Jimbo Fisher and Charlie Strong are the first guys I'd lean on for advice about modern-day recruiting and roster management. That part of the game has changed so fast, even BK operated...

He reclassed, he doesn't camp or 7v7, and he was hurt most last year. He has basically played one season of high school football, as a freshman. It's not just that he isn't playing their game; he really hasn't played much at all. Which is fine. His tools are absurd. But recruits, especially...

Watch them ditch Sorsby and throw enough money at Darian Mensah that he bolts from Miami, contract be damned. That'd be the ultimate villian move here.

IU should lose their title for 2025 because of a guy who played there in 2023? I’m no big IU fan, but why?

I still don't really understand how/why the NCAA is different than any other membership-based organization. If you want to join, you have to agree to their rules. If you don't want to agree to their rules, that's fine, but then you're not eligible to compete for their championships. Obviously...

Nah, it's a real, and stupid, issue. Local organizing committees need to raise money for stuff in their cities - fan fests, transportation, security, etc - so they pass the hat to local companies for corporate sponsorships just like they would for any big event. But FIFA has already sold global...

I think they are also counting eyeballs and fan bases. There aren’t enough fans of solely the top 24 or 36 programs to support the sport on their own in a super league setting. College football needs the fans/alums of midmajor schools, too. Minnesota has almost 60,000 students. NC State has...

OK but who was the last college QB to win TWO titles and Heismans?

Selfishly, I want all the CJ Carr we can get. I've never fully understood the people who seem like they would rather our best players play for other teams and not ours.

Well we need SOMETHING to talk about. Obviously there is a lot of football to be played, and many other factors. But I do think it’s an interesting question at what point/projection (after the season, not now) it might make more sense to him to stay vs. go to the draft. We are at the point...

Carr may (or may not) wind up being the best pro QB of the bunch. But here's another mock where he's not a first round pick (though Jordan Faison is???). https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2027-nfl-mock-draft-three-qbs-top-5-arch-manning-dante-moore/ Again, lots of football to be played...

Obviously a lot of football to be played, but what's the current thinking on Carr in '27? Stay or go? I just looked at two mock drafts that didn't have him as a first round pick (though one had KVA as a top 10 pick and the other had Traore going 20th. Moore obvs top 10 in both.). This year's QB...

Just because a guy plays for Michigan doesn't make him the next Tom Brady. McCarthy was nothing special in college. A game manager on a team that was carried by its defense and running game (and cheating ofc). Nuts that he was drafted 10th as there was nothing to suggest he'd be a good QB in the...

The pricing is absolutely all over the place. I've been watching FIFA's RIght-to-Ticket site - which is a direct sale from FIFA, not a agent or scalper or whatever -and they change the prices every few hours. But yeah a lot of the games involving top teams start in that kind of range

Texas Tech's nonconference schedule this year is Abilene Christian, Oregon State and Sam Houston. Last year they played Arkansas Pine-Bluff, Kent State and Oregon State. They haven't played a P4 nonconference opponent since 2023. (It was Texas, for the record. TTU lost 57-7.) They're doing the...
