those jobs dont pay shit, you gotta be some sort of chump to wanna do it. I'd say 90% of those guys get by on their spouse's income or free rent living in their mom's basement (Singer)

Are you suggesting he wasn't paying for his own frappuccinos?

He's simultaneously ripping Lincoln while blowing the SEC.
If he didn't leave Norman, is Paul this critical?
Me thinks no.

Most around here think he left Norman due to SEC fear which he knew OU was about to join. What he didn't know ironically enough was that USC would be in a super physical, difficult conference in the Big 10. The way he left OU was horrible and shocking. He is not a culture guy at all. Just good with x's and o's and fortunate enough to work with some great qbs Murray, Mayfield, Hurts, C. Williams, etc.

Also interesting that his successor has struggled. Wouldn’t that make Venables’s coaching more fraudulent?

OU's offense has been bad under Venables. A lot of hype here currently for John Mateer and the new offensive coordinator. They host Michigan likely Underwood week 2 in a massive game. Their schedule is very tough, but Venables really needs a good season.

Call me crazy but I think SC is a 10 win borderline playoff team and I hope they can actually keep their players and ND vs SC becomes the premier rivalry in College Football

It's the only rivalry of ours worth keeping and I definitely think they can make the playoffs this year.

I'd rather ND start a regional rivalry with every other year rotations of PSU and Michigan, and maybe a Tennessee. These are our recruiting grounds.

LOL I cannot honestly think of a more bizarre program setup than USC will have. Lincoln, Bowden, Rob Ryan (honestly was wondering if he was still alive), and now EJ. Going to thoroughly enjoy them getting pummeled soon with these clowns.

They should get Rob's brother out of retirement too make it fully dysfunctional! Maybe Lincoln Riley still has his foot fetish stuff when Caleb Williams was at SC, it could be a selling point to get Rex on board.

No need to make ND a regional school otherwise might as well go Big 10, keep playing schools nationwide

Teams in college football take on the personality of there coach… Riley is soft and afraid his team is going to be… they are going to lose prob 6 games this year again and ND will beat them by 4 touchdowns

I'm not sure USC loses 6 this year, but I could definitely see them losing at least 3 or 4. Then again, they could lose 6, they did lose to Minnie and Maryland last year. I don't see them getting to the playoffs in the B1G this season, it'll probably be OSU, Penn State, Oregon, and either Michigan (Don't think they'll be that good) or Indiana again. Indiana has a somewhat favorable schedule again this year, then ol' Cig is going to hit a tougher wall in '26 if he sticks around.

... I'd add Illinois to that list as well.

Illinois to the playoffs? I think they're a little overrated still, not sure they have the horses for a playoff push, but I think Bielema is best suited for the B1G and is back where he belongs. Not sure he'll have them as dominant as when he was at Wisky, but he's on the right track. I don't see them getting past PSU, OSU, and probably Indiana. I think they'll give USC trouble if they play smash mouth, USC tends to fold like Oregon in those situations. Rutgers gave them some trouble last year too.

Based on offensive talent and 2nd year under a new DC

btw I said 10 wins not top 10. Although I don't think top 10 is out of reach

Their offense should be really good and probably will buy Riley another year.

Bob Ryan is interesting. I could see him being a complete disaster for the LB group.

USC guys on Twitter seem to think they got the best coaching staff 😂

Penn State says the same thing. It's hard to argue that Knowles is probably the best DC right now, but I don't think there's anyone else I'd trade for on their staff lol. I definitely don't want Big Game James.

From HC to recruiting. I get it's a PSU account, but do they not know that MF got the best of Franklin and ND has been winning the head to head battles in recruiting?
