ND does feel like it should be in the big10 or what ever it is now

No love for Hingle McCringleberry tho?

According to the LA Times, 30 million wouldn’t cover the red ink that UCLA athletic department runs up each year.

WOW. Mizzou got Nwaneri (top 3OA recruit). Even as a Georgia fan, I think that’s a great thing.

They might land WR Ryan Wingo as well. He’s the 7th overall recruit in the country according to 247’s composite ranking.

Missouri’s an underrated recruiting state.

@JojoTheWhale @Chinatown88 i was just listening to Feldman’s recent podcast it was a Big Ten Preview episode but he dropped in there that his Freak List will be coming out tomorrow.

Yeah I was peeping his Twitter feed. He posted an interview with MHJr as a teaser for his Freaks List. What a tease.

Missouri is about to pass a proposal that would allow high school players to start collecting NIL earnings. If passed, I read he could sign an NIL deal this month lol.

Missouri is actually in a good spot to remain competitive for a while. St. Louis is a pretty good core recruiting footprint.

Rick Pitino came out today and questioned the sensibility of the conference realignments. Might be good for football but not many other sports. This might end up with football breaking away and going on their own. College Presidents need to grab the reins here and do what’s best for their schools

@JojoTheWhale @Chinatown88 here’s another Olympic potential football recruit. Apparently ran a 10.18 100 meters. He’s a white kid set to go Boise State in a few years (he’s one of those Mormon or whatever mission types).

I mean there was that quote from the Stanford coach earlier about "people used to take covered wagons across the country."

College football teams play once a week. Usually fly to where they're going (except the rare super close opponents that might be a bus or train)... and only have to worry about that.

You look at college basketball travelling during the week, playing every 3 to 5 days once the conference schedule really kicks in from December till the end of the season.

Ugh. One more year before our long, national nightmare is over.

Trying to gauge the interest in the College Football Pick-em. I'll run it again this year if we have enough people.

However, when a fight breaks out among players in practice, he believes players should stick up for their teammates, especially if the player directly involved in the fight is a key contributor to the team. When a fight broke out during the Buffaloes practice session on Tuesday, Sanders was not thrilled when he saw two of his players “walk off the field” to avoid the scuffle.

“He just fought. I saw two of y’all walking off over there and you got a teammate fighting. Where they do that at?! Where they do that at?!” Sanders said in a video posted to YouTube by his family’s Well Off Media account. “If one fight, we all fight! You understand that? I don’t wanna see y’all walking off when somebody’s fighting. Never again!.”

Deion makes Torts look rational.

Sounds like Devin Brown could be named Ohio State’s starting QB over the once assumed favorite Kyle McCord. Brown’s going into his second year while McCord is going into his third.

I try very hard to not be one of those "off the bus" scouts, but that team looks so damn small in every way possible. Their schedule is brutal too.

Forget the big name games like TCU, USC and Oregon. They have to deal with the physicality of UCLA and Oregon St back to back at the end of October. I don't see their defense navigating that brand of physicality that deep into the season.

I think the Utah game Thanksgiving weekend has the potential to be even more of a physical beating than Utah-USC was last year and the USC defense flat out quit tackling.

It's OSU, it doesn't matter. I could be their QB and succeed.

They’re gonna be terrible. If you gotta add like 50+ transfers in one offseason you know you’re in trouble. At least 80% of those kids were taken just for the sake of getting bodies in there. I don’t know how good his is/will be jumping up a level but they at least have two pass catchers in Travis Hunter & Jimmy Horn who they all got from the portal.
